found the min/maxer :3
but yeah, if you play the game proactively you can prevent a bunch of the hard choices
I found just playing the game at normal speed with no pause can definitely spice it up and made me feel like a desperate administrator just trying to make everything good enough
I had a similar experience on my first playthrough
spoiler:
||when the stuff with the mines happened in a new home I was actually devastated for the volunteers||
also somehow the game managed to make me feel cold while I played lol
yeah lol it definitely takes a lot of energy to play
I haven't played for ages but one of my friends has been playing on it for the first time on my pc and it's awesome because I basically get to experience it again through him XD
it does a really good job at making the decisions have weight behind them, but it I found they could definitely get pretty depressing
