Hahaha I know exactly what you mean, I really love being in spots where you have to decide whether you can intervene and fix the vibe or whether you’ve just gotta leave the situation alone.
I’m glad that you enjoyed the bad vibe meter thing! To be honest with you I feel that its one of the weaker parts of the design at the minute. The numbers get big and move slowly so it lacks an immediacy that I suspect would make the game and theme resound a bit more. It’s something I’d like to revisit after the jam!
Ty for playing! I hope the memories of your 20s were welcome ones (its about 50/50 on fun/embarrassing for me lol)
