My strategy is simple:
1. Use all your free action points to hunt with the dog for the first two turns.
2. Use the engineer on the radio until he goes mad.
3. Kill everyone except the soldier.
4. Alternate between talking to the soldier and using the robot to repair the radio until you win.

okay so here’s some quick tips.

1. Talk to people to make them less depressed. Listen to what they have to say. most of what they say are clues for how to win the game.

2. Checking the robot readout doesn’t cost an action point. use it often and watch how talking to an individual effects the psychological score(because it doesn’t give you a readout of the people in order) the Engineer will tell you the correct order to read the robot’s readout.

3. if group therapy isn’t working on an individual follow up with additional talking on the next turn.

4. try to devote at least 2 or more attempts at food with the dog per turn early in the game, try to maintain a surplus of food so you can focus on therapy every other turn. use the dog early on and as you enter the last week or so you can hunt with the soldier.

5. You start with a lot of food and no disease so use that to your advantage and get the radio fixed as soon as possible. spend four action points on the radio on turns 1 and 3. devote turn 2 to group therapy.

6. If you’re doing group therapy every other turn you’re doing something right.

This is awesome, but you really need a confirmation dialog on the kill option

Can’t get it to load, stops at 70% and hangs.

If you destroy the robot (requires at least 1 bullet left) you get an ammo refill

I think it would be a better mechanic if talking increased peoples’ mood more the more often you use it on them. And it would be a better game if their stories/dialogue were fleshed out more.

Obviously within the confines of the Ludum Dare the game is still a great achievement.

My entire team went mad on day 40. Sgt Burden proclaimed victory and promptly killed himself.

29 days is my new best.. ran out of bullets and got attacked by predators.. I guess there is no way to counter that

The damn psychiatrist or the engineer always go crazy no matter how much group therapy I do I love the game though.
the doctor told though that I don’t have to worry about a character burning or going mad if they’re sick.. so maybe leaving them sick for a while is a good thing?
