Get 10 VP to win

there are mouse controls for choosing boxes, but please try to avoid that because I think it causes a bug at the end lol

Controls: 

-space to cycle dialogue 

-use a-s-d to choose which box you want. The starting menu has to be clicked with mouse

NOTE: there is a bug near the end where sometimes, if you try to make the big choice (you'll know it when you see it), it just stops and leaves you there. I tried for like 3 hours on Saturday to fix it and I still don't know what causes it but I think it happens if you use mouse instead of keyboard. If that happens, feel free to use the shortcuts (below) to get back to where you were and try it again. 

All the art and sound effects were made by me (you can probably tell lol).

Thanks for playing :)

<<mild spoilers below>>

If you want to replay and skip the beginning sequence you can press s + k at the same time (after starting it) and it should skip that.

Here are some hints if you get stuck:

-If you're stuck in the menu, try clicking all the buttons

-If you're stuck right after the menu, try getting some passive stats. Like +x/second

-If you're stuck after the guy first starts messing with you (vague to avoid spoilers), just continue the game and try to win (try to get VP). If your coins are too low, there are ways around that.

-If you're stuck after the second time the guy starts  messing with you, there's no more hardcoded events so it's up to you if you want to beat it (10 VP to win)

-If you want a shortcut, you can hold V + P + Q you get free victory points and if you hold M + T + R you get free seconds/s. The final cutscene is activated when you have 5<VP<10 and <1 seconds/s
