Sanity System Guide
The sanity system can feel mysterious on a first run. This page explains it in plain language, so you can make choices with confidence.
What is sanity?
Sanity is a behind-the-scenes pressure gauge: certain tasks, scenes, and decisions can make a day feel lighter — or heavier. When it’s low, you may notice the game’s tone and your experience shift.
What affects it?
- Repeating stressful actions without a breather.
- Choices that lean into conflict or avoidance.
- Night shifts and tense story beats.
How to keep it stable
- Don’t rush: do one thing well, then move on.
- Use conversations as a pace reset between tasks.
- If a day is going poorly, aim for “steady” over “perfect”.
