Thank you, we are glad, that our game evoked deeper thoughts in you. After all, that's probably the main goal of this jam. :D
The inner logic of the game is something like this. Each action adds to outdoor, indoor, protect, gain. The bars at the top does not shows how many points you have, only which one has more than the other. That defines the survivel startegy, you are pursuing. For example, if your points are:
indoor = 5; outdoor = 70; protect = 25; gain = 38;
The game will estimate, that your goal was outdoor + gain = 108; because no other combination has more points. Then it checks if that number is enough for her survival or not. 108 > 85 (<-requirements) => She survived.
So in this case the main goal is to choose strategy based on the initial instructions and then go for it. :)
