I loved it! It's like the short term repeat kind of fun, but in that way it serves the purpose perfectly. I can see it being more polished, but hey, that's not the goal in 48h right? :D
Also it would be cool to have something to grind like on the outside loop. Since you lose all the stats every day and it seems like you don't get more time/faster gathering with more days, the game is losing on the overall goal of playing it.
Overall, nice idea, cool theme and atmosphere. I had my fun with it.
