Really fun and very cute game.
Currently, simply starting by using almost all patience on an atm, then maxing patience to 100% and then simply showing up to a booth to get the plush is a very dominant strategy. There are some things that could make it better though. e.g. If time froze during the persuasion sections or if there was a button to manually refresh persuasion options instead of waiting for them to refresh. There are times where you can be stuck with 2 or 3 bad options and you have to simply wait them away while the clock is ticking. This would shift the gameplay away from atm and coffee hunting and into more persuasion.
