Ego

*Ego giveth and ego taketh away...*

Egocentrism

The milkman is gone. Kongle is gone. Gamedev is gone. Game itself, is no more. This is the only way it could have ended. Dev lost its ultimate practitioner. It had become a self-sustaining system. Dev was crushed under the wheels of a game created to create the game to crush the game. Samsara of cut content and crushed ideas. Development without life. Null ouroboros. All that remained is:

Game Without Reason.

Theme Interpretation (*Tiny Creatures*))

The tiny creatures were supposed to be represented by all the little nagging thoughts that keep pestering one as they try to engage with / create any creative media. I over scoped. I failed miserably at doing this, and got nothing.

Notes

This game, if it can be called as such, lacks gameplay.

Even so, do play it. There is a *GODMODE* to let you experience everything without the pain of actually playing the game lmao.
