Although this is an apocalyptic game, I feel that the graphics bring me a sense of ease even when I have died. I enjoy the feeling of not being too stressed out during a game.

This is really cool! I like that there is and option to create your own, for an OC, or generate a random character if you're having a block. I also love the music. Currently some of the text is blending into the shadows on the paper. A suggestion I have is maybe adding either a semi transparent layer under the text or changing the text color so that it is more readable.
Like others have said, I really enjoy the typewriter effect you had with your text! But my favorite part is the sounds that you used to go with the text in order to make it seem like it's typing. The sounds are creamy and nice and bring a sort of comfort, like the light in the game, despite the errie feeling.
First, I really love the look of this game (and the One Piece reference). It feels so relaxing even though some of the text is about overthinking. I'm not sure if I missed it or not, but a suggestions I have is adding a page flip sound effect! Originally I was going to suggest a page flipping animation but that seems like a lot of work, and I think that the sound would convey the same message and pull the player in even more.
The first game that comes to mind when I think of a happiness point system is the Sims. Although not completely the same, it reminds me of their moods and aspiration bars that depend on you taking care of your sim as well as doing things they want to do. It also reminds me of Catt Small's game Sweetxheart, and the stress meter that changes based on your decisions.
This is a very interesting story. I didn't realize that some of the prompts change through each play through. In the end when you can either look in the mirror or look away, I think that is a great reflection of someone facing themselves for who they are and their mistakes or running away from them.
The asset looks amazing and I love the particles flying off of it. It gives the game a very magical/whimsical vibe. It feels like the book is calling for you to come closer and read it, and when you do a whole new world of secrets will be revealed. Purple also reminds me of wizards and magic orbs so that also contributes to the feeling I get from this game.
