I can't deny I am genuinely interested in the world-building and the stigma against Baysians, especially as someone who hates probability and prefer algebra.

But of course, this doesn't make up for the RETURN BUTTON CLOSING THE GAME, THE TEXT APPEARING SO SLOWLY AND WE CAN'T MAKE IT APPEAR FASTER, THE SOUND EFFECTS DFVEFGR GOODNESS I ALMOST GAVE UP ON IT THE SECOND TIME I ACCIDENTALLY CLOSED THE GAME BY CLICKING ON THE RETURN BUTTON

Honestly, congrats, you really managed to make it a painful experience, you understood the assignement fvfdfg

Enjoyed it in a badly way, I think that's the spirit. Love all the details to make it just intentionally clunky. Good job! 

Thank you! Glad to hear πŸ˜‚
(btw, there's only one ending regardless of player choice)
