Old fashioned, but capable - 250+ (9 Cool / 5 Cool)

HARV’s dumb sidekick - <150 (4 or less Cool / 1 or less Cool)
Postscript Note: The only choices that don’t have an objectively correct option are Choice 8, Choice 21.1B, and Choice 28. If you take the “no stats change” option in each of these choices and follow the emboldened choices for all other choices, you finish with 12 Life & 24 Cool. While this is technically enough to get the top rank, the maximum score of 900 (or 1000, if you have the bonus) is only achieved by trading Life for Cool in each of these choices, as this nets you an extra 6 Cool at the cost of 6 Life
As always, however, I do encourage picking non-emboldened options for reading pleasure, as there’s a lot of cool stuff written in ‘worse’ choices. Whenever Zach manages to utterly screw everything up, HARV’s sarcastic nature makes for some pretty funny moments
Hope you found this useful,

Achievements Note: This story only has two achievements: Nice deduction & Joker!. Normally when I scout for achievements, I use existing information (either a walkthrough, like on this site or Text Game Guides, or personal notes from before I last reset all my progress, because I'm a nerd who keeps notes when they get achievements) to see where the known achievement locations are so I can skip over those choices. However, I may have forgotten to do that for the Nice deduction achievement, so I can’t guarantee that Choice 4 is the only place you can get it. If someone else could check the rest of the book for this achievement, it'd take a good chunk of work off my hands, and I’d greatly appreciate it. If you’ve done this (and you’re 100% sure you don’t already have the achievement), please just leave a comment, and I’ll make sure that’s reflected in the above. Cheers
