You are able to create obstacles with just the click of a button as you try to race through this strange place. The graphics are very minimalistic and feed into the theme fantastically well making for some interesting visuals throughout.
You Cheated Not Only the Game, But Yourself refers to a viral tweet made by Twitter user @Fetusberry in which he criticized PC Gamer journalist James Davenport for resorting to cheats to beat the final boss in 2019 video game Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Harold cheats on his wife and she gets suspicious of his prolonged absence. It's up to you to convince her otherwise.
The big cop-out would be to accept popularity rather than opting to try to create potent work. It's so easy to do the popular thing, the expected thing, and that's where you start to cheat yourself - and your fans, in the end - because there's an inherent dishonesty in pandering and dishing up what everyone's expecting. Some people, it seems, might just be incapable of monogamy, and if those folks are also stuck on the high of betrayal, chronic cheating is the name of their game. So how do you spot a compulsive.
Life/Routine in name is very interesting and I feel feeds into the game by suggesting that life is as hard as you make it for yourself which I feel is quite an interesting stance on things. Although this may not always be the case it really is quite an interesting taken on things and one that evokes quite a lot of thought.
Average play time – 3 minutes
Life/Routine is a great little game that will occupy you for sometime as you decide on your own difficulty level, and remember at the end of the day you are only cheating yourself. Life/ Routine is a very well thought out game that asks some interesting inward questions about life.
