This is beautifully rendered/laid out. The way you’ve achieved a slow meditative perfectionist drift is very clever. It’s interesting how the affirmations are in conflict with the gameplay… I wonder if you were intending people to experience dissonance, from this, or something else.

I also feel like I’d select the affirmation based on the number of 6s rolled, so I don’t have to decide which one to do myself. But I don’t know if I can recommend that be added to the game itself because it’s a bit of a wordy mechanic and would fail if you ever rolled nine or zero 6s (though I suppose those could neatly represent overwork or underwork resulting in burnout and a lack of will to affirm.)

Sorry this comment’s a little meandering – the game gave me much to think about, thank you for submitting it!

Thank you so much for the detailed and lovely comment! So glad it resonated/got you thinking. The dissonance was very intended, and maybe should be made more explicit in the description. I know I personally really struggle against a self-imposed pressure to be perfect (or never fail, etc.) and many years of therapy and these lil' game jams are ways for me to chip away at that impulse and remind myself that there is no such thing as perfect, only progress, self-understanding, and such.

Do REALLY love the idea of tying in the d6s rolled to the affirmation, and wish I'd thought of it! The idea was then to roll a d6 to determine which one to do, but may not have made that clear enough in the pursuit of sub-48 ha
