You can’t really expect people to sit there for an hour holding a button looking at a number slowly go up. I managed to escape by jumping on the ladder in the shop and going over the wall instead of having to waste my time looking at a number going up
Maybe if you added the voice lines it could be interesting but currently it is just unplayable. The occasional need to have to walk away from the button and spend a couple of minutes worth of money on food is not exactly good game design. Running on the treadmill is kind of amusing but not enough to make up for the lack of a game.
Sorry for being blunt, but I know you can do better than this
