I played it with my wife on the couch over many winters evenings, and then ten years later played it with my daughter. Good times. Reminded me of playing Sierra games as a kid.

Same here, though no kids yet. I bought the soundtrack on vinyl (by Tomáš Dvořák, aka Floex), then got a record player, aaaand ended up accumulating a ton of records since then. I still play that record though, it never gets old. The other game that we enjoyed in a very similar way is Primordia [1]. Named our first cat Crispin afterwards.

> How do we ensure that we don’t enter the failure mode of “not enough necessities get made”? Pay higher when someone does things. UBI + income. If you want to live better, try doing something that will bring you money, but if you fail, you can still live and try something other next time. Current model: if you try something and fail, you are homeless and starving.
