How it feels

A deliberately frustrating meta-game where you must manipulate your computer's performance to control your character, making each play session feel like a chaotic technical experiment.

What players say

Players say lag is the actual game mechanic, not a bug. Having a weaker computer helps, while powerful rigs need to use tools like FPS caps or process tricks to make the game harder. Most finish in 10-20 minutes.
