A full-dive simulation game, where the novel is both the script and the game.
When the bell rings, a character’s inner thoughts are speaking. You have to listen to the characters. It’s both a hint and a restriction.
“Dangerous action. Do not imitate” is a warning. Be careful.
When the protagonist’s brilliance shines forth (toes curled in embarrassment, dying of social death), hold your head high and endure it. Remember, as long as you’re not embarrassed, everyone else is.
Theme: The most important thing about playing games is having fun.
