In the beta version of the game, the jello was infinite. It never ran out. One of my beta testers is still mad I killed "Infinite Jello Vending Machine"

Inspiring creativity is one of the best victories! Many word-hugs for you :)

I hope you had a good time!

Thank you!

I'm actually working on another game right now where the conceit is that you can have your friends loop with you... and yes, an exponential level of tracking! 

I'm so glad!

Love a Myka ending :)

I'm so glad you had a good adventure!

I hope you had a good time exploring! 

Wonderful! I'm so glad you explored the world and enjoyed it!

I love that ending! Glad you found it.

My wife refers to Myka as her "game wife." She's a delight. 

I love the sadness of imagining how much "old" Jo would like to hear of what the protagonist pulled off and accomplished. They gave you the stone because they believed in you, and they were right to. They'd be proud, and sad they couldn't have been at your side for it.

Note -  Spoilers -

You can heal the corrupted land with "new" Jo -- and in my opinion, that's my favorite ending!

You can do it!

Ah, a good life!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for the note, it really means a lot.

If you have suggestions...

Aw thank you! I also adore Esteban.

Congratulations! A good life.

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! And got some sleep, eventually :)

I think you're right on that one! Around ten is the fastest you can get the Golden Ending, from what I recall.

This is such a sweet comment, thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed the game, especially enough to come back to it. 

To answer your questions, the "head for the hills" option is locked behind life seven or eight (I'd have to go glance at the code to check which); I wanted a buffer to let the protagonist get properly exhausted/done before that option appeared. 

There isn't a way right now to change your gender throughout the gameplay, but it's a great idea. If I ever do a version 2.0 for Stay?, that would be a good add!

Those sensitive artist types… 

Ah, I’m so glad!!

He’s a good lad! 

She can do it! 

I’m so glad you liked it!! Bec and her snarliness are very near and dear to me. 

Besties is the height of victory tbh 

28, very nice!!! Thank you for investing so much into living those lives with the protagonist. 

Thank you! 20 is a great run 

I’m so glad it resonated with you!! The protagonist deserves so much peace by the end, yes!

good job!!!!

Ah, I love that ending! 

S L A Y !

If I’m remembering the intended design right, that sounds like a bug! I’ll see if I can fix that up sometime!

I think that’s really fair! If I go back for a bug fix or a v2.0 sometime, I’ll try to pencil that one in. It’s a good end!

Yes, there are no wrong answers! Just lives to live.

I’m glad you’re trying out IF writing, it’s so fun! I’m taking a break to work on my novels but I’m eager to dive back into some IF when I can… 

Ah I’m so glad, thank you! 

I hope you found your best ending! 

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it 

If you learn archaic from Mister Pent and then go to the lake, that should do it (let me know if not because that’s a bug!). To get Myka to go to the lake with you, I believe you need to hang with her at the lab instead of going to the ball— you can suggest it then I think, if you tell her about the time loops. But to be honest it’s been years since I wrote this!
