The key to success is to find balance between the five aspects of Elena's life: health, culture, family, work and harmony. Each of these is represented by a status bar that can either fill or deplete depending on Elena's actions. For example, culture points can be earned by reading or surfing the Internet. Our heroine must eat and sleep enough, because being tired or hungry causes major hits to all areas of her well-being.
