The gameplay is characterized by a repetitive loop that reinforces the game's themes, with most modes playing similarly, except for one. Players can adjust settings like sensitivity and volume, and choose between two additional modes, "green" and "fun." This design serves as an allegory for the monotony of daily life.
“The gameplay offers a variety of adjustable settings, including sensitivity and volume, allowing for a personalized experience.”
“Players can choose between two additional modes, 'green' and 'fun', which adds an exciting twist to the gameplay.”
“The ability to customize gameplay settings enhances the overall experience and caters to different player preferences.”
“Aside from a few minor differences, all of these modes (aside from one) tend to play out mostly the same, yet it's in that repetitive gameplay loop in which the game's true themes slowly start to become apparent.”
“The game itself is an allegory, with the repetitive gameplay loop reflecting the repetitive nature of daily life.”
