Even for someone who isn't into inflation it was a surprisingly effective game at balancing entertainment, actual fun, and wanting me to finish the game. I especially like the parrels for "There is no game" and you might've nailed the 2nd half depending on how you wanted it to be, I was really ready to claw by eyes out at how boring it was.  Although im not sure if you intended it to be as boring, (certainly Avril literally spoke about how bored the player must be, and she was right). The only fun in that portion of the game I actually had was at the end where I could see the cake and audibly said "Finally its over." I would say this can be blamed on just how long it is between each dialogue option and how mind-numbing the clicker is.
