1. What's this about?

  You play as a student who has 24 hours to write an essay for school.



2. How do I play the game?
  
  The interface is simple:
    left click:        walk
    double left click: interact
    right click:       look at
    R:                 reset position
    M:                 mute alarm
    Ctrl+Q:            quit
    F5:                save
    F7:                restore
    F9:                restart

  The meters in the top left corner tell you how hungry, stressed and tired
  the main character is. If one of them fills up completely, the game will end.
  You can reduce hunger by eating, stress can be reduced by watching tv or reading
  a book, and if you're tired, you can always have a nap. You can move the mouse
  cursor on these meters to see their exact value on the status line.

  There is also a clock which tells you the time in the game. One second in realtime
  matches one minute in game time. Every ten seconds, your tiredness will increase
  by two and hunger by one. Every hour, your stress will increase by the number of
  tasks left multiplied by two. An alarm sound will play when any of the three meters
  is over 80/100. You can mute the alarm by pressing "M". Pressing "M" again will
  unmute it.

  You can see the remaining tasks by moving the mouse cursor to the top right corner.
  A todo list will appear. Tasks that you've already finished are crossed over.

  When you get inventory items, they will appear to the bottom right corner of the screen.
  You can't select or use them: interacting with hotspots and characters will automatically
  check if you have the required inventory item.

  When 24 hours have passed and you haven't finished the essay, the game ends.

  You can press "R" if the main character gets stuck somewhere. He will then be moved to his
  starting position. You can also save your game by pressing F5, and load by pressing F7.
  Pressing F9 will restart the game and Ctrl+Q will quit.



3. Any tips?

  Keep a close eye on the meters! For example watching television increases your tiredness
  by the amount of time that has passed (30 minutes -> +3) but also increases it by an
  additional +10.
