This is almost perfect. What would make it really perfect is if I could mute it.

Also, it doesn't make any sense. Why do I have to give up toys because I have a sibling? I can still have my own stuff and have a sibling, or share. And why nightmares for not having a sibling?

Why do I lose carelessness because I'm an adolescent? Teens are just are careless and ignorant of how things work as children are.

Why is it "good grades" or "fun"? Why can't it be both? That doesn't make any sense. And why does it cost me my best friend? Wouldn't my best friend want me to succeed and support me? Wouldn't I want them to succeed and support them? Why can't we both be getting good grades together?

Why do I have to be addicted to something because I have "bad grades"? That's ridiculous. I know plenty of people who didn't do well in school and they have good jobs, partners and family, etc, and don't have addictions.

I lose my grades because I have a "first love"? Nonsense.

Why do I have to choose between a nerdy passion and sports? Why can't I do both? That makes no sense. And how does that decrease my social life? But also, how does doing sports decrease my safety?

Degrees or fun? "It's either that or parties, buddy"??? That also doesn't make any sense. I can do both and so do a lot of other people. Why is it one or the other and why make it sound like if you're not getting your degree then you're some kind of loser who doesn't have fun? I choose degree and now it says I'll never get to party... Uh, that's not how it works.

I have a boring job so I'll never have my artistic career...?!?!?! That doesn't make any sense, either.

Lost parents because I never went back to visit them?? I can call them, I can write them emails and/or video chat......

Buying a house doesn't mean you can't or won't travel.

Why do I have to lose my nerdy passion? There are plenty of older people who work, have partners and families who still have their nerdy passions.

Lost hope because we're all going to die? You made it automatically happen as though it's something that happens to everyone.

I have another addiction because "nothing else sparks joy"? How could you possibly decide that? I have a decent job, make decent money, have a home and a partner. I have friends and a nerdy passion. I have and do things that are fulfilling.

You didn't add anything for old age... You make it seem like old age is empty and pointless.

This game is terrible. It doesn't give accurate choices. You set it up so that it ends the way it ends.

The whole game is set up for the end. You'll always have the same (or most of the same) things in life no matter what happens. You lose and gain things. But in the end, only some things matter, and that's you. You get so many things but in the end, only a few things out of so many things stay. One of those things are you, your house, and a couple other things. It's hard to explain my thinking but I honestly do agree with some of the choices and sacrifices, like losing friends because of grades and etc. But there is a message, and the game is set up for the end to convey that. That's my interpretation at least.

I understand what you're saying, but your entire argument is nonsense. It's set up to reflect the dev's narrow view of their own existence and experiences, and not the many possibilities of other people's experiences. I didn't lose friends because I focused more on grades and I didn't become a drug addict/alcoholic because I also chose to have fun while also focusing on my grades.

These "choices" don't reflect real life. They're narrow and lazy.

But, again, it's a fictional game based on fictional choices and fictional consequences.

Eventually what you see in it is entirely up to you, and I'd rather not force a view on anyone or reveal what the game really is about, but maybe it's not about you, and maybe it's not about winning or "being both" either.

It's just a game, calm down
