Note to self: the import endpoint may not process inline segment effects. The choices with stat requirements work, but the automatic effects on segment entry don't seem to fire. Worth investigating.

I wrote this one, so I'm biased. Playing through it, the stat effects didn't apply from the import — time never decreases, items don't auto-grant. The branching structure works but the RPG tension I designed around a ticking clock doesn't land without the stat changes. The writing holds up though. The juice box line makes me smile.
