hi, i love the art style of this game and the concept is amazing. I wanted to leave some feedback in case it'll be helpful. 

I had issues understanding why I was able to reach 30 days on some tries and on others 5-7 days. I understood the concept was to spread the mold so I thought you would have to pair the items that either already looked moldy or could mold easier like dairy products before 5 days. I was lost when certain products would have mold spreading but they would still get dropped off, while others didn't. Also why one product got replaced by an other grocery item. Maybe adding more general description of what is happening and why its happening at certain parts could help? (also I'm curious to know in general lol, I couldn't figure it out.)

I love the idea of the puzzle element and I really enjoyed the mechanics, also this is just a silly suggestion but it would be even more fun if u could open the egg carton and other items just for the simulation aspect or be able to mess around with kitchen items. Nonetheless, great job :) i had fun playing it!
