(For example, I never discovered what the exploration stat did)\n\nIt seemed like there was not really much that I could do to influence the course of the town past day 3 - The main thing that would kill me was running out of villagers to sacrifice each night, rather than a lack of food.  In comparison to the ever-dwindling population size, food was a non-issue.\n\nIt was also strange that you let players press the End Night button if it would cause them to game over.  One of my most successful attempts was ended when I miscounted how many sacrifices I had made, and accidentally clicked End Night button when I still had one more to go.\n\nI really enjoyed the sound design though - All of the sound effects felt satisfying, and the music was calm and enjoyable.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"FireSlash","author_uid":"1000025","time":"2018-12-04T08:00:29Z","epoch":1543910429,"modified":1543910429,"text":"The forced time limit felt really bad, as it simply added pressure while I was trying to figure out the game. \n\nI also found the system for assigning workers to be fairly counter-intuitive at first. This lead to a bit of a flummoxed first night.\n\nEven after I figured it out, the system felt fairly rough to use. I suspect streamlining this process would improve the game feel quite a bit.\n\nThat aside, the idea's quite nice! Once I got the hang of things I found it to be a fairly enjoyable experience.

I really wanted to make a small tutorial and improve the UI but ended up running out of time.\n\n@fireslash I agree the UI is pretty rough, I was rushed to finish up the UI and didnt get a chance to make it flow better.
