This game needs a fundamental rework, by jove. I'm unable to sleep because "not now" is terrible game design; randomly going into a basement and staying there, not being able to work because you have to sleep to advance a day even though you rested and the next day shows, instant game over if you take two pills a day, characters just speaking at you.
It's pretty baffling all in all. It's not like it's hopeless or anything, you just need to work on the basic flow, actual quest descriptions an so on. You shouldn´t need to follow a walkthrough right out of the gate to do basic things in a game.
