It is appropriate that relying on a static heuristic to point one's path leaves you unfulfilled, bitter, and dead.

I wasn't aware that clicking different things in different orders affected the outcome. I have just been clicking solve every time it comes up and not reading the captions.

I don't think it does.

Here's the relevant part of the (dart2js'd but slightly cleaned-up) code:

Edit: I made a full graph of the entire game: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7652770

yes that version 2 if u open up the original js ull see bazzillion ifs

So now stop a bit. Reread what you wrote, think about what you did and the outcome. Harrowing isn't it?

I interpret that as Stuff gets in the way of life. Interesting, i wounder if he designed it that way or it just kind of happened.

For me it ended in my death, with no hope left. It might be a slight timing problem (e.g. play around with the interval and see what happens)

I died with hope!!

Also, I noticed that something compounded to solve if you had more of them, notably stress. When you only had 1, it was instantaneous to solve. If you had more than one, the percent counter took time

Noticed that too - thought it was pretty significant.
