Achievements - Stories

Friends Stories

The game randomly selects three characters from the list, and adds as possible friends: 1 in kindergarten, 1 in middle school, 1 in high school. There is no dependence on stats and decisions, characters are always random. The only way to influence the appearance is to continue playing as your character's child after the end of the plot (the game never adds the same friends, what the parents had). But after a generation, reruns will inevitably begin.

To get for sure 100% preparation for the first exam, you need to develop a character from birth along the path of Empathy and Imagination, since these skills are mainly used in kindergarten. If you go by Physique (climbing the wardrobes), preparation may not be enough. For all other exams, there are many more preparation moves., there should be no further problems.

Sleepless nights
Get an A on all exams.
Raise your preparation up 100, to get maximum moves. Try to collect together 6+ cells (on the final exam 8+ cells), to get amplifiers.

To achieve the opposite, you need to start collecting sticking, as soon as they start to appear on the map. By this time, the points of convolution should be enough for such a useless waste. Use neurons to find sticking faster “eye” and “open the whole map”.

Characters (edit)

The game randomly selects three characters from the list, and adds as possible friends: 1 in kindergarten, 1 in middle school, 1 in high school. There is no dependence on stats and decisions, characters are always random. The only way to influence the appearance is to continue playing as your character's child after the end of the plot (the game never adds the same friends, what the parents had). But after a generation, reruns will inevitably begin.

Locations

Locations in this game open in a strange way. Their discovery is tied to the stories of friends., and need, so that the game sends you to the location according to the plot. In most cases, there are alternative ways to open (buy a ticket or upgrade a skill), but there are places, where it is impossible to get, if the game does not give out the required character as a friend. Sometimes it leads to absurd situations., eg, can I finish school, never knowing, where are the school toilet and library.

Useful shopping

The most useful items are those that give extra pocket money and action points. Goggles are less useful, they are already collected in sufficient quantities from the Brain Map, but if there is extra money, why not buy.

Action points

Pocket money

If you start buying items from high school, giving a bonus to pocket money, already at the beginning of high school, you can have passive income +$60 in progress, and don't know money problems.

Another way to get extra money is to master a job. (eg, Chef assistant). The result of any action in the game can be successful and unsuccessful. (you can see it in the hand-drawn sketch at runtime). For successful completion, the character receives additional +50% to attribute and money, and the mastered activity will always be completed successfully. for example, in the case of the Chef Assistant, it will work like this: basic pay – $15, and the payment for the mastered skill – $23.

Gyrus glasses

Graph cells

Mood
There are two scales in the game: Peace of Mind and Parental Satisfaction. At first glance it may seem, that it is quite difficult to balance them, since increasing one, evenly reduce the other. Ancestors are enraged by everything in the world, if this is not training or work. Sometimes they can give you absurd expectations like “go down and whisper, nothing to sit at home”, but that will piss them off too, because shopping is entertainment.

How to be? There are several tactics:

  • Buying food. For some reason, this is the only way to improve your mood without a penalty.. Food can be bought at the school cafeteria, Cafe “Checkers” or Restaurant “La Royale”.
  • Work. Doesn't affect Parental Satisfaction in any way (if there is no Expectation, work-related) and lowers the mood. Wherein, she gives much needed pocket money, which can be spent on buying food, restore lost mood and still stay in the black. The more free action points, the more benefit you can get from work.
  • Journey. Improves mood significantly less, than food, plus spends the rest of the turn (you cannot use the schedule). Compensates for this a bit, giving extra attribute points. Remember to use all Action Points before traveling..
  • Fulfilling Parental Expectations. Satisfaction bonus small, it makes sense to do them sooner, to earn Pride, which to spend later on something useful. If any expectation falls, which does not suit you at all (type, repeat the already learned skill 10 time), you can just not do it, penalty is also small.
  • Temporary Increase in Parental Satisfaction. It is not necessary to keep it in the green zone all the time. (70+), can only be raised before, how to purchase a Special Request. When you have accumulated the required amount of Pride, be an exemplary child for a couple of moves, doing exclusively study, lose your mood, but you can buy what you need. Then cheer up back.
  • Maintaining high Parental Satisfaction. Remember, that she can't get higher 100. If you raised your Satisfaction close to this level, you can safely add expensive entertainment activities to your schedule (prefix, board, all that). for example, schedule first actions “Tabletop RPGs” (+8 moods), fill in the rest with training. Satisfaction will go down, and then immediately comes back.

Bonuses from high Parental Satisfaction and Peace of Mind.

  • Parental satisfaction is higher 70 gives an additional bonus at the end of the turn +20% to pocket money. If your income +$5 in progress, this will not play a role, but with +$50 already more interesting.
  • Peace of mind above 70 gives an additional plot cell, it is useful in elementary and middle school. In high school, the number of cells will increase to 7 naturally, plus by this time you will most likely have purchased a Planner or Polyphasic Sleep Guide, which will add up 8 cells, regardless of mood.

Brain map: tactics

Top priority points on the Brain Map:

1.
Superozarenie (opens the whole map). Get it, as soon as you see.

2.
Gyrus glasses. Recovers spent Brains Points and shows adjacent neurons for free. Just watch, so that glasses are not wasted (you cannot accumulate more than the maximum).

3.
Action Point Hex. Increases maximum AP by +5.

4.
Hex izvilin. Increases the maximum points of convolutions by +5, works with the next brain map.

5.
Enlightenment. Opens neurons around in a radius of 2 to 4, see description. If the radius opens 4, take, if a 3 - see the situation. With radius 2 almost always useless.

6.
Next card. You don't need to take it right away, but open the passage to it in advance.

7.
Hex of the Rainbow. Adds +15 to all attributes (+75 in total) and increases the passive bonus of all attributes by +1.

8.
Attribute hexes (+17-30 to the attribute and +1-2 to the passive bonus, depends on the age of the character). If you develop a specialized character, you can only take your main attribute, ignore the rest. If you want to develop comprehensively, collect all hexes in a row and generally ignore small neurons, the character will still very much raise skills due to the passive bonus.

Everything else makes sense to take, only if it lies on the way to points of interest, or useful points are over.

9.
Shock wave. Passes, collecting content 5-10 adjacent neurons (see description) and shows adjacent neurons. It makes sense to take on an unexplored map, to increase the visible area. It is of little use in the explored areas of the map. Shock wave, dead end, may get stuck and not collect anything.

10.
Teleport. It makes sense to take, only if there are distant valuable points on the map, gives a chance to get close to them faster, without opening unnecessary.

11.
If nothing useful is left, take any neuron, connected to as many other neurons as possible (preferably, from 6).

12.
Neuron Uber-attribute (collects all neurons of the same type).
Not bad, but shows up too late in high school, by this time he is no longer really needed. Without Super Enlightenment, revealing the whole map, of little use.

13.
Knowledge, superknowledge. Useless, the character already gets a lot of knowledge from mastering skills. The only way to collect them, if the Knowledge is urgently needed, and there is not enough money to buy cribs and junk from the fair.

14.
Surprise. The only option is to take it - the whole map is open, and from it there is no transition to the next. There is an extremely small chance (about 10%) randomize the transition, mostly useless junk drops.

15.
Knowledge Hex (-10% to the cost of all available skills). The most useless thing. Below the minimum cost of a skill cannot fall, and if you take this hex in the calculation to get a discount on an expensive skill, then subsequent skills in the branch will still remain expensive, and it is wiser to download the corresponding attribute to lower the cost.

Exams and endings

The ending depends on two factors: Which skill tree did the character move farthest on?, and what is the mark received for the final exam.

If you have mastered several skill lines, profession will be chosen in the final, related to the first of the mastered skills. for example, fully mastered Zoology and Cooking, Zoology mastered first, the character will follow the path of veterinary medicine.

Final exam score (A, B, C, D, F) affects the level in the received career. A is the top (Olympic medalist, bestselling author, all that), F - nothing outstanding (always an office clerk, regardless of skills). You can't become a homeless person or a drug addict, although I tried very hard.

Exams total 4 (Kindergarten, Primary School, high school, and final in high school), the final profession is only affected by the final. Tips for those, who's bad with Candy Crush:

  • Raise your preparation up 100, to get maximum moves. The level of preparation is influenced by the study and development of school skills (hobbies do not affect). You can get about 90 preparation, just learning skills (without mastering, So, cleanly opened a textbook once), to 100 have to learn a little.
  • During high school, the library can be used to learn skills, using Action Points. Use, if you need to speed up the preparation for the final exam.
  • Collect together on 6+ cells, to get amplifiers, remove small groups, only if it helps to unite a large pile of cells.
  • For the final exam, put together 8+ cells, to get Eureka boosters (allowing to remove from the field all cells of the same color). If there are many cells of the same color on the field, like Eureka amplifier - use, if it is not enough, do not touch it yet, Wait, until cells accumulate.
  • Don't waste all your moves at once, leave in the stock of moves before choosing answers 5, to, if necessary, pick up cells of the missing color.
  • The exam can be restarted. Any time, until the button is pressed “Finish the exam”, you can go back to the menu, choose “Proceed” and the exam will start from the very beginning.

Meet, this is a very dumb guy Jimmy. He managed to finish school, not learning how to write and count. All his life he's been kicking a bulldozer, skipped classes and occasionally worked part-time at a local diner as a chef's assistant, hoping to get rich and save up for a yellow Ford Mustang. Eventually, which is logical, he passed the final exam for a count, and now works as an office clerk. Don't be like Jimmy.

  1. listen, you have a small error in the table with Characters, it is impossible to develop a romantic relationship with Wendy

    • Of course it's been over a year.… but there is no error. You can develop a romantic relationship with Wendy. Main conditions – Advise her to join the theater club, and at that moment when she will try to avenge the bullying with the help of an artificial arm, refuse to help. Then our character will dissuade her from this act, and in the next scene you can choose the relationship and everything will work :3
