The idea seems sound, but the difficulty seems way too high. Honestly, it felt impossible to win. After upgrading my oxygen once, I would nearly run out of oxygen before even reaching the closest resource node that was necessary to upgrade my oxygen any further. There was clearly no way to mine it and get back in time.
I know you said it's about noticing those little moments of change that get you through the week, but honestly the way the interface works, it felt more like a man going through a psychotic break as he tears his apartment apart trying to find some tiny difference to end his tedium. (Still a lot of fun though!)
(2) I think you should be able to continue doing tasks at home into the night, particularly playing games or working on your portfolio---because who among us hasn't? (Maybe it's usually a bad idea, but you should be able to do it.)
(3) I think sleep should be the best way to restore stamina, and actually working out should deplete it but increase your maximum or your regeneration---so it has a long-term benefit at a short-term cost.
(4) I think submitting apps should cost morale (either in addition to, or instead of, stamina), because, uh, I feel like it does.
I love how relaxed this game is. There's no sense of danger or urgency, just the joy of exploring and increasing your little light trail. Feels very Zen.
