thats all good to know! I do think requiring at least some of the perks would make the ending funer though, for me thinking that was the case it made me feel like i was working towards something harder to achieve, and it would help to lock the true ending to be later in a playthrough making it more of a proper climax in the overall plot.
Im very interested to see what you add after the jam ends, theres so many mysteries in the game I am dying to know the answers to......... also second date with bedbug? some kind of week 2 or weekend plot would be amazing!!
