This game appeared for me at a time in my life when it was extremely relatable. You are a guy trying to balance family life with his dream of becoming a published author. I played this while in the middle of my PhD, trying to balance the motivation to write with the rest of my life. As someone who knows what the lifestyle is like, the game was very well written and accurate with the kind of choices you have to make on a daily basis. It's hard to know if I "enjoyed" it as it was so close to home, but it was a great game.

I loved the concept of this game. I definitely need to play through it a few more times to get other outcomes.

Very interesting concept, could’ve used a bit more graphic design maybe.
