it feels like narrative dissonance. I thought the objective was to make ourselves taste awful before we get eaten again. Why do we die to things other than a human eating the cone. How do I even die from cactus?? Like did it get hit by a gust of wind and kill me??

Because within the twenty minutes before it gets eaten, all sorts of accidents could also kill it—which is why every move you make matters. This is the trial before rebirth. Twenty minutes ago, the ice cream was outside, so the poorly placed cactus fell from the balcony and crushed it. We set up a lot of things for fun, but maybe we really did fall short when it comes to the backstory. Thanks for playing!
