How about a notification that pops up every few minutes asking if the dishes are done or housework was finished before starting up the game?

Alternatively, a random quiz question that if you fail, deletes your save files.

The player actually can intentionally most of them.

The game should let you a-ctivate the knife and “Stab Yourself”. If you fail, “Stab Yourself Again”.

No REAL damage. Probably cuts your Achilles or something. Not enough to make you bleed out or cause any real damage.

Reduce the revivification timer on zombie corpses to 30 seconds.

Fire no longer damages zombies, but turns them into flaming versions of themselves, which are stronger and cause fire damage on-hit. Infinite puke-loop optional.

Infinite puke loop got patched but I see no reason why that couldn’t be undone… maybe expanded… rotting zombies are soo gross you might puke just looking at them…

Change Schizophrenic trait.

Each time a prompt appears, it’ll have a 1/5 chance of offering you a random stuff.

“You hear a noise! Commit suicide? (Y/N)”

“You were attacked! Drink bleach? (Y/N)”

“Ouch! Something hurts! Wait 30 minutes? (Y/N)”

Add a chance of hearing random stuff.

“From the northwest you hear What is love?” (If you answer “Baby don’t hurt me”, something might happen…)

Add a random chance of hearing random noises coming from buildings. As soon as you enter the building, everything’s ok. As soon as you leave it, you hear the noise again.

Add a random chance of spotting a random enemy during crafting so the player must stop, look around and realize everything’s fine but lose all of the crafting progress.

Add paranoias: “They told you that the Halligan bar is cursed! You should REALLY drop it!”

Add obsessions: “You don’t know why… But you MUST wield the Heavy duty frame. NOW”

If you don’t do the above, you take an enormous morale penalty.
