Wait, Wasn't This a Game? — The Secret to Leveling Up in Life
“LEVEL UP!” bursts from a green LCD handheld clutched until dawn, and the moment a red ✕ lands on “GAME” on the screen and it turns into “LIFE,” you're sucked into a full-color pixel world. There, you're LV.0. Riding a tower of habit blocks stacked one per day, you hit “LEVEL UP!” on day 66, while the friends who walked with you turn to pixel dust at “Do you want to give up?” in front of the DAY 3 sign, and the item the two who made it to the end have in common is a “15 minutes a day” clock. “Restart” in the pause menu shatters, leaving only “Continue,” and past the “TUTORIAL,” it's back to the first-person handheld as your own thumb presses START and Save.
