Imagine that you are immortal. Just imagine. And yet you are omnipotent. You can create worlds. Watch them. Manage them. Destroy them.
It should be funny, but sooner or later it will get bored.
You are not interested in studying the nature of the reality around you - in addition to everything, you are also omniscient. You are bored. Your eternity is becoming more and more insipid. Immortality, omnipotence and omniscience are already a burden. So what are you doing? You are creating a new world. No, the whole universe. You set the initial conditions, adjust the parameters. And you yourself enter the game.
Your character is random, by default has a minimum of knowledge about the reality in which it is placed, and is endowed with a minimum of physical skills. The memory of you now is completely erased - this is necessary for complete immersion. The gameplay is finite - well, at least here, at least for a while, you can feel the charm of mortality, ignorance and helplessness, feel the fullness of the taste of being.
The main goal is missing, because if you reached it, you would be out of the game. And so the whole point comes down to finding the missing goal.
Finally, you are almost happy. Enjoy great graphics, unpredictable plot and the process of finding the meaning. And only a fleeting longing for something long lost or forgotten makes you sometimes thoughtfully raise your head to the sky …
