It's 2016. You find yourself in the middle of the night contemplating what a messy year it was.
Things changed.
Or maybe, you're the one who changed?
It really doesn't matter anyway.
All you gotta do now is grab a pot, fill it with water, turn on the stove, and wait. You gotta eat something before going to bed.
And in the meantime, why not do some house chores? I'm sure mom is going to be proud.
...
If only-
If only you hadn't said things. Certain things. Things you didn't really mean. Then maybe, just maybe.
You wouldn't have company this night.
Moody, dark environment.
Immersive, low fidelity (low bit rate and crispy!) sound design.
(so) RETRO graphics and true low-res.
Slightly randomized tasks every run. (Just different combinations, really!)
6 additional difficulty modes to be unlocked!
Short duration (20-30 minutes per run).
Grab a pot, fill it with water, turn on the stove and wait. Wait until it starts boiling.
Complete house chores, go for a walk. The water will boil faster when you're not looking at it.
Pay attention to your sanity. You don't want it to get too low.
If you have a visitor, don't worry. He can't physically hurt you. Just close your eyes near the burning stove and breathe. It's all in your mind.
Just don't stay with your eyes closed for too long.
Trial and error is key.
Pay attention to your surroundings, to your environment.
Finish your chores. Prove them wrong.
