I've just played it for the first time since 1.0, and I feel like I'm getting suspected for doing anything. Even the occasional snack (and I'm using small stuff!) or heaven forbid I do the cooking like it's implied I'm supposed to occasionally and I get a nastygram.
Mia went up after the unmodified first meal despite me never even directly interacting with her because she decided to clean her plate and then get mad in retrospect. I'm unironically kinda nervous interacting with the housemates since it feels like I have a coinflip of someone else in the house just psychically knowing I gave a bag of chips one time this week and then flip out. Bonus points, I fed Priya the wrong thing because I literally don't know what she likes and she won't tell me, then Becca just randomly saw it, so I got two sus ups for one action.
Sorry if this feels ranty, I'm just frustrated right now. I can definitely tell a lot of work has gone into the game in the last month. I'm glad you're taking a moment to slow the roll, since I know that running the dev cycle too hard can lead to early burnout. I wish all the best!
