Thanks a lot for your feedback, it's highly appreciated!
We're planning to rebalance the game after the jam ends to improve the overall experience; due to time constraints, we weren’t able to polish it as much as we originally intended.
While it's highly random indeed, there is still a strategy to follow (not 100% winnable, but helpful)
As for the logs, there is also a system: each cycle has a fixed number of logs. Every replay reveals a unique log until all logs for that cycle have been discovered, then they start repeating. The more cycles you see without restarting, the more unique logs you can collect. So it’s possible to eventually discover all logs and put them into a linear sequence from 9101 to [the last one] in numerical order.
However your comment gave me an idea that it would be awesome to add some kind of "log journal" to a) show the total number of logs in the game b) to display the texts of the already discovered logs
