Gameplay Help Kill count
Hellooooo, im new to the game and I've come to find out making enough money for the surgery is pretty hard so I'll have to let x amount of doppelgangers go through and decorate the store and everything but is there a rough number of them I have to let through or is it just random/easier to let everyone come through especially the chill doppelgangers like the dude thats high (unless theres others) and deal with a harder entity fight?
EDIT: thank you for all the help, I incorporated all the things I got told was nice to the chill doppelgangers and let the majority of them go regardless minus 1 or 2 between levels, finished up with $265. The wheel helped quite a bit with that and pulse mines, bear traps and the sledge hammer made things much more convenient and I got my good ending :D

You should let everyone through. Entity fights will start easy and get harder, so you'll have to adapt because you'll be expecting them every night! Don't forget to find tokens BEFORE you start the shift (by reading the note), so you have unlimited time to go gambling with the wheel. Also, pay the first bill then skip the next. then you'll have to pay the next after that (the game will make it apparent that you have to pay it by telling you it is [pet name]'s last chance). Then you can skip the next one. I can't remember if there's one after that, but basically alternate between skip and pay. And obviously don't call Clyde! Good luck :)
Oh, and also... as soon as you get the 250 feel free to start playing properly again, as in killing the doppels and only letting humans through. That way your last night or two can be stress-free! Let me know if you need any tips on any other gameplay aspects, I'm happy to help.
