Lack of sleep not enough food and low health all contribute to your early demise. First play through it is recommend that you start with the cursed schoolgirl or cursed schoolboy, you have food and shelter provided by the parents.So I've played this game for the last 24 hours or so and managed to master the controls a bit.
This is probably the most fun I've had out of all the girl-protagonist games I've played since GGGB, which is a huge compliment.
However, the big problem I have with this game is just how demanding and micro-management oriented it is.
I actually can't manage to make it past the first month. First I went homeless because I got robbed of $10,000 and was too dumb to use a bank. Then after I go homeless, I keep dying of "unknown causes". I assume it has something to do with food. It's harder to eat when you're homeless. I discovered the ice cream at the supermarket makes both your thirst and hunger go away. But I keep dying anyway. I'm guessing maybe because the ice cream only fends off death for a few hours? IDK.
Also, the artwork is kinda bad (your character looks different in every scene). But a huge improvement over having no artwork (one of my big problems with Corruption of Champions and other text-only games).
I'll definitely add this game to the list of ones that I would like to come back to. Because I imagine the intense dedication that the game requires from you would make it feel that much more rewarding once your character actually has a kid or makes something of themselves.
Yeah, if you have not already done so, you might restart doing the cursed schoolgirl start. It has the most content. Plus, you live with parents, and food is free at home, and at the restaurant near the train station in Pav. Water is always free everywhere. You can also store money in your desk in your room in addition to the bank.So I've played this game for the last 24 hours or so and managed to master the controls a bit.

As RenStimpy mentions, the cheat menu is great if you do not enjoy micro-managing. I am not a fan of micro-managing either, but I love the game. Almost every playthrough I do, I go in to the cheat menu after character creation and turn off thirst and hunger at a minimum.However, the big problem I have with this game is just how demanding and micro-management oriented it is.
