Thumbing through your smartphone at midnight during a thunderstorm on Saturday the 13th wasn’t as safe an activity as you thought, because somehow you’ve been zapped into the incredibly deadly world of your phone’s menu screen. Fortunately you’ve installed the app that can let you escape, but can you reach it before your lives run out??

I realize this is a 48 hour game, but this thing is dumb.
Why are there even lives? Why do we even have the illusion of controls? It’s not like you can do anything other than follow the predetermined path and even if you fail the game ends sooner than you’ll ever run out of lives.

This is a narrative game and the life counter serves as punctuation and the game wouldn’t be half as funny if you weren’t in control and weren’t being embodied by the tiny character on the screen I hope my reply was useful to you thank you for reading me.
