An update! Hurray! I enjoyed this pretty immensely, moreso than the original game because of the marked increase in player input (crafting foods and feeding them daily). My biggest qualm was the lack of a better food menu, letting you know how many there are and making it easier to feed the surrogates their favorite food once you've figured it out. EASILY an 8/10, though it's a 9 in my books. Keep up the great work!
EDIT: played almost 300 in game days, goes to show how much fun I had with this.
