Some suggested UI improvements:
* Scrolling sections with the mouse is extremely slow. This one is big, scrolling by clicking and dragging is very irritating.
* It would be nice to see the seconds remaining in seconds for effects with durations, or for tasks
* Maybe add a third task color or some other indicator to indicate that I lack the resources to complete a task in one go (because of resource drain during the task)?
* It would be nice to be able to hide tasks that I don't want to do (perhaps shunting them all down to an automatically collapsed "Hidden" category?)

I really love this game, but PLEASE someone tell me if there is a way to get gratitude faster? I didn't go the religion route, but I have 800 benevolence so my max gratitude is over 800, but it takes me 5 seconds per gratitude because the only way for me to get it is "wait for alms". I also never went and got the baptism upgrade because it costs one faint faith per second, and to get faint faith it costs effectively 5 gratitude per, meaning baptism would take me like 15 minutes of straight grinding to get, and currently, to fill my gratitude stores from 0, it takes me over an hour. I don't NEED gratitude, but it increases max thoughts, which is nice for me at this point in the game.
But again, great game, I haven't had any other qualms.

Wonderful game, which I propose to call a Theory-like

Good concept! The biggest flaw that comes to mind is how cranky the interface is. It would be nice to fit, say, your resources always on screen, or really just more things in general on screen. Needing to finagle the tabs on and off just to look at your things is like spinning plates. Fun though, and especially very promising!

Needs a dark mode. All white is annoying.

developer response: Dark mode has been added some time ago but I forgot to reply

Please organize skills and resources into subcategories. It's difficult to find what I'm looking for sometimes.
