alright i started a playthrough yesterday, i was skeptical at first but i think i can see the draw.
I see the missed events and it does have an impact on me.
There seems to be an issue with missions, i started 4 of them yesterday and they all just say returning today. I dont see any button to finish them
In the reports section for the events that have happened it gives flavor text but i dont know what the actual effect is, did kicking out the ration thief help morale? did it help our rations situation?
This kind of reminds me of clash of clans, in that you do a few things log off and wait. Unfortunately i think the big draw of that is that it is multiplayer, im not sure if that is in your scope but it would definitely help engagement.
hope this helps,
