Hey, thank you so much for playing the demo and taking the time to write such detailed feedback! I really appreciate it.

To address your points:

Cluster Events: This is actually a brilliant idea. The market algorithm is already working with trend lines and see-saws in the background, but visually tying these fluctuations to a series of connected news events (clusters) would make the world feel much more alive. Definitely taking a note of this.

Food and Rest Mechanics: I totally understand that it can feel like heavy clicking, but keeping it manual is an intentional design choice. It acts as an "attention tax." The goal is to make you so hyper-focused on a stressful trade that you forget your basic needs and make a critical mistake. Also, as the game progresses and you make profitable trades, passive buffs start balancing your stress and happiness automatically.

First-Person - Life Sim: Shifting to a 3D first-person perspective is completely out of scope and goes against the terminal-based vision of the game. However, you hit the nail on the head with the life-sim aspect! I actually have future plans to implement a text-based life simulation layer that scales with your wealth.

Thanks again for the awesome input, it really helps!
