Took three tries, but I finally got the good ending. Didn't realize there was a time limit until after my first run, where I, unfortunately, fell for the need to collect everything. (I also go incredibly lucky and got the unique one early on in the area. I did not have this luck again later.) And the second run I didn't realize there was going to be a second goal. I'm not sure if the year time limit actually applies to the second goal, but I was too stubborn about getting a good end that I just reset when I realized I wasn't going to get it in time.
Still it was fun enough that I played through two more times, def recommend using tryhard pretty much exclusively. Passive is almost useless without the extra crinchures active and then only for the normals, and the risky will fail often enough that it'll put you over the time limit easily. It did get very repetitive quick, but as this is a game jam game its understandable. The mall does feel almost unnecessarily big though, its A LOT of crinchures.
Edit: I did run into two issues, one is when picking a crinchure if you happen to click when its on top of a button on the map under it, it will automatically click it as well. The ended up wasting days as once you pick a location I couldn't find a way to go back, or worse, you can travel on accident wasting two days to get back. Second error is when you 100% the collection, at the very last crinchure, the pick a crinchure overlay will never leave, but you can still click buttons. reloading the page fixes this, but its still an issue.

So uh, not sure what's happened, but scavenging did nothing after opening the book (which I couldn't figure out how to exit and ended up using escape to do so which might have been the issue) and when I tried to close and restart the game I keep receiving the same error and the game is just a black screen. Error says "
Error: Couldn't load project data at path ".". Is the .pck file missing?
If you've renamed the executable, the associated .pck file should also be renamed to match the executable's name (without the extension)"
This might be exclusively from opening the stats, using escape, then closing and reopening the game. Unfortunately this does mean I cant access the game at all anymore, but this may end up being a very very specific bug.
Not exactly sure what caused it, but the game gave an overflow error and crashed. I assume I made a stat go too low. And while I did enjoy what I was able to play, with the random +s and -s its hard to actually do any planning, and it takes a good chunk of time to do even a single round, so if you've guessed wrong, it can be a bit of a slog to try again. Still, with the constraints of a game jam it's still fun! I love the entire concept, and will probably try again later, I am a sucker for puzzles like this.
Fun and beautiful game from what I was able to play! Unfortunately I'll have to replay to see more as the game is stalled on a black screen after being freed from jail, even when restarting and continuing. Also I think the unable to access the inventory is a resolution issue, I don't have the arrow as someone else mentioned but my screen is an odd resolution and since its full screen only its likely the sides are cut off.
Edit: Looking at the screenshots the sides are absolutely cut off if you dont have widescreen, I'm only able to see half the piano in the saloon and the man sitting at the bar is at the absolute edge, even cut off slightly if I remember right.
