I did just change a bunch of little stuff, helped with many texts and logic to improve the main core game.
However, I also changed an important part of the rules:

• Now drawing more than 1 Card will cost Credits. Drawing 2 Cards costs 2 Credits, and drawing 3 Cards costs 5 Credits. Drawing 1 card is still Free.
• Passing an Offer instead of Giving Up will now eventually cost Debt. The first pass is Free, but any subsequent one will increasingly cost more Debt.

Game Mistress decided the game was a tad too easy on many of her players...
It's also to make the resources a little bit more dynamic and make decision making a bit more involved.

Feedbacks welcomed, as usual!

I feel like there needs to be an end point. If I know I can quit any time, there's nothing stopping me from spamming curses, then quitting when the game gets too hard. If I know I'm locked in for X many days, I know I can't do that without facing the consequences of the curses. The way I see it, it doesn't even really need to be built into the game mechanics, just something at the start that encourages you to decide a minimum play time. I guess I could just do that in my own head but it would be a nice addition if I felt like it was part of the game and not just an arbitrary choice by me.

I did a play through just to get the feel for the game and one thing that strikes me, and maybe this is just my personal preference and others feel differently, but

Imagine, instead, if you could spends credits to make the game easier in the long-term, so the player has to decide between "Do I save those credits to buy an orgasm, or spend them to make any future credits/orgasms easier to get". To not make the game too easy, the current starting state could be the new 'best possible result' state, with the new starting state being noticeably worse. So the player has to spend a few thousand credits shrinking the deck/upgrading debt costs or the like. That way you'd also disincentivize just restarting if you've got a few bad curses, because any progress you've made towards a better deck is lost along with it.

I sure hope there are a lot more! If not, please, please, please create many many more!
Also, I would like to be able to add more Mystery Cards to the Deck. Maybe by purchase with Credits? Or maybe by some form of punishment? Any way to add more Mystery Cards would be greatly appreciated!
