Just jotting down an idea for now. The details may change when I start writing.
A new game called Soccer Life has just come out. As a devoted player of a certain life simulator, you have to download it and see what it's like.
You're a hardcore completionist, but for some reason, you can never reach the end of the Belgium route. Every run falls apart halfway through for one reason or another. After 10,086 attempts, you've had it!
You close the game, open a certain mysterious mod site, and start installing mods like crazy for your Belgium save.
There's no way you still can't beat it with mods. Surely you can win that amazing trophy, right?!
You return to the game and stare at the effects running amok. You scream. Oh no, you installed the wrong mods, and why are they all glitching out?!

Noah always feels like there's something strange about this world. For instance, a billboard will suddenly appear by the pitch, advertising: "So close, so beautiful. Spend your weekend in Hebei."
For instance, his teammate's pajamas will suddenly vanish from his suitcase, replaced by a high-slit black slip dress or some bizarre wedding gown.
For instance, while celebrating at the corner flag, a flock of birds will suddenly swoop down, trying to nest in his hair, as if he were a Disney prince.
For instance, he'll wake up with rainbow-colored hair and have to play like that, with the colors changing between halves.
Noah is confused. Noah finds it strange. Noah is completely baffled.
Well, he got the trophy, so that'll do.
Theme: Go win the championship!
