Thamks you for your nice words! We decided that for the sake of the climate jam that we lean to more scripted events/ outcomes for simplicity and that the story is actually something continously happening in the background rather than something you stop your gameplay to focus on (aside from the in-between day cutscenes). We wanted to make it feel real in some way, make the player feel like theyre helpless in terms of how the story goes and the only thing they arw in control of is the core gameplay loop :)
