Well, if you can't afford everything for your family, you might have to start making sacrifices (by not spending so much money on food and heat, please don't sacrifice your family members)

A few tips that immediately increased my speed when I figured them out:

- Create an order for yourself and stick to it. Check the papers in the same way every time.
- Arrange your papers in such a way where none of them completely overlap each other, so you can find what you need without having to rearrange them.
- Memorize the spellings of the city names. You don't totally need to remember which cities go with which countries; it's a huge help just to know whether what they have is a real city. Saying them out loud to yourself might help this; misspellings will sound "wrong" that way.
- It's okay to make some mistakes. You're allowed two free penalties per day; I often don't check whether the issuing city matches the country but the citations I get are of no consequence.
- Once you start having to check purpose and duration of visit, check a few things WHILE the conversation is happening, not after. Listen to the sound effects to tell when you should look over to make sure what they say checks out.
- If you're really struggling, you can alternate between food and heat and no one will die.

You'll get a lot better over time. Keep practicing! :)

Life is about sacrifice. And some people have to sacrifice more than others, like family and friends. To keep the Party happy.

Well this is certainly a harsh game

What really helped me was writing down the things I needed to check (expirations, names, gender, ID number, issuing city, et cetera) then checking that list before approving to make sure I covered everything.

I decided to refund this game. While it's clearly an artistic statement and a good contributor to the medium of gaming, it's not for me.

it is easy when you discover this, alternate between food and heat, saves you a lot of $$ every day

There's an easy mode in the options that gives you an extra 20 bucks a day. Kind of ruins a big moral part of the game, but it's for people who are really struggling to feed themselves or if you want to focus on the story.
