I am having trouble seeing a reason for the loop? At most I can see trying to rush 1000 power evolution and trying to dump essence into essence generation.... but it does not seem to be doing anything?
This seems more like a guess the route puzzle game rather than an incremental?
My main point is it's not really engaging a reward to try and get the essence and go a searching for the other endings when essence gives minimal rewards.
Thus, guess the route puzzle game.
edit: unlike the inspirations, it also does not seem to have the stats effecting how quick events go via skill levels.
