❤ Sorting Genetic Samples

As a lab technician, the player must sort through a collection of genetic samples by identifying and categorizing them based on various characteristics. Players must check attributes like shape, pattern, and numeric values, with the complexity increasing over time. The player has a quota to meet and works against a ticking clock to earn credits, which can then fund living expenses and other in-game activities.

❤ Escalating Difficulty and Adaptation

Players widely note that the sorting tasks start simple but quickly become more challenging. The game tasks players with continuously adapting to new sorting rules and techniques, requiring them to keep track of an ever-growing range of data points. Reviewers praise the well-paced difficulty curve, which maintains engagement without succumbing to tedium, while preserving the thematic monotony of the dystopian setting.

❤ Optimizing Workflow

A core appeal of the gameplay is the opportunity to optimize one's sorting process and improve efficiency. As complexity escalates, players must find ways to streamline their workflow and maximize productivity to meet rising quotas. This appeals to players who enjoy problem-solving, resource management, and honing their techniques over time.

❤ Supplementary Minigames

Alongside the central sorting tasks, the experience includes various minigames and diversions players can engage with during downtime. These include a solitaire-like card game and a "pay-to-win" fighting game, which reviewers found surprisingly enjoyable and well-integrated into the overall dystopian corporate experience.

❤ Customization and Progression

While not a major focus, players can use earned credits to customize their in-game living space, adding a sense of progression and personalization. Some reviewers felt this aspect could be more prominent, but the ability to curate one's environment was still appreciated as a way to further immerse oneself in the game's themes.
