Just played it a second time and as predicted, it was even more fun than the first time!
As you suggested, I played it a bit more defensively this time — I thought more about which dice to choose.
Additionally, I wrote my entries in English instead of German (my native language), which held me back a little when writing the entries. Both strategies helped a lot in winning the game instead of just drinking coffee over and over again :D
In the first session, I wrote in German, which got me too excited to write more and more complex stories, so I didn't put much thought into which dice to choose and ended up writing these long entries :D.
I played it while watching 1½ episodes of X-Files, which I think is a very cool combination.
During the game, I remembered the characters you posted on your Instagram, and it helped me not to stick too much to X-Files while writing entries - cool inspiration!
I also figured out what confused me the first time playing it:
The rules in the 4 boxes are essentially just duplicates of the rules in the text, but all in one place. Maybe it's just me being a confused human, but I didn't realize that in the first session and didn't even notice that the "Grab a toilet break after you reach a certain amount of cups" is referencing the 3rd and 5th coffee on the timesheet :D
To fit the style, here is a picture of my investigation:
Again: maybe it's just me being a beginner in RPGs and in interpreting rules.
I think it would have helped me if the rules for "toilet break/boss" had just been mentioned in the text of "A. Choose Work" and "B. Choose Waste" as list item no. 4. These boxes are a nice summary, but they aren't really necessary.
Anyway! Great game! I love the whole style and your art as well!
In case you're interested, here is my timesheet from today:
