Roguelite survival
You have stats to manage, the physiological needs of the body, and your mental health. Keep your dopamine levels high to avoid a literal death by boredom. Eat, drink (responsibly), use the toilet, wash yourself, hide from responsibilities and keep yourself sufficiently entertained. Just stay alive, okay? Or you’ll start all over again.

Story-driven
Advance through your personal story by completing painfully tedious tasks, and uncover the secrets of your apartment. Hunt for clues, interpret signs, explore your dreams—and find yourself. The world outside is cruel. You don't want to be cruel too, right?

Adult life simulation
Complete painfully tedious tasks, like brushing your teeth, doing the laundry, and sending out job applications. Looking for a job is a job after all. Then, when all your tasks for the day are checked, go to sleep. You’ll find an escape in your dreams. It’s when you sleep that you are most alive. In fact, you can be anything in your dreams. A salaryman. A husband. A hero!

Until the alarm goes off again.
