Thank you for pointing this out, I can definitely take a look! Just to clarify, the soup still said you had 15 minutes left until stirring is needed, but the task was still failed?
Also, if you're looking for some hints to complete tasks, there are some great ideas in the comment sections, including a list of the most optimal chore order here: https://itch.io/post/8971501Some other time tips are:
- You can ask the wytch for more time, though there is a cost.
- You can pump water and chop wood in advance - and you totally should! Huge time saver there.
- The water jug in the town shop increases how much water you can store, so you can wash and prepare dinner without having to make a trip outside. It also only takes five minutes, regardless of the number of jugs.
- If you know you won't make it (e.g. you have to cook yet, but don't have the time) it's often better to just skip the task and stock up on actions for the next day (get water, firewood, food, etc). As long as you finish at least one task, you will avoid advancing the bad ending.
- "Progressing" along the female/Hans track makes your horniness gain slower and saves time.
- Going to town and having Hans over both give a little extra time beyond what those tasks require.
- Most tasks (besides cooking) don't have to be completed before the wytch comes home, just started - for example, cutting wood takes 20 minutes, but you can still complete it if you only have 10 minutes before she comes home.
