I think the problem is it's not at all clear what happens when you take action.

I would try to tight up the cause and effect in the game."},{"author_name":"GBGames","author_uid":"251","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 2:11pm","epoch":1346076360,"text":"I didn't understand how my actions affected the world.

Happyness increase the chance to a huy to become a lumberjack, a farmer or a fishman. An electric shock decrease the violence, but increase the fear. More a guy is violent, more he is a chance to hit another guy. When a guy is hurt, he becomes more angry, more violent.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Anyway there is no real goal, I like to say it's a sandbox thing, an experience =3"},{"author_name":"Evilion","author_uid":"10821","time":"Aug 27, 2012 @ 4:24pm","epoch":1346084340,"text":"(Sorry for spelling mistakes, my english is not perfect and i'm still a bit tired xD)"},{"author_name":"vigrid","author_uid":"10441","time":"Aug 28, 2012 @ 1:34pm","epoch":1346160540,"text":"What the hell is going on?

On a randomly generated little island, you will be able to transform the environment and lead your little tribe, that will evolve in a way or another.
