[char limit, v condensed version]

The main interactions in the game happen via a number of verb timer pods, like Work or Dream or Study. Put card(s) into a pod, start the timer, and in ~60s open the pod and take the cards out. Like a microwave. The bad: instead of placing cards into verb zones, pods have to be clicked open and closed, and cards taken out one by one. (You can click twice to take the whole lot, but then you'll have to look for them around the table, over or under other cards).

Expenses are also a pod, one that auto-refreshes and grabs a Funds card every 60s. To not die, you need to produce Funds cards faster than that. Other pods pop up and spawn penalty cards you need to destroy before they trigger a loss.

New characters have a choice of 2 jobs. One is menial labo(u)r, and produces 1 Funds each 50s (45 if you exploit a bug). It doesn't autorestart, so you have to pause the game as soon as it's done, or the cycle loses you money. Add the time to unload and load the pod and the time it's destroying penalty cards and not earning you money, and you're looking at 1 useful Fund every 15 min at best. 4 possibly productive actions for an hour of frantic clicking.

(There's a 2x speed button, but it eats into your reaction time and penalties pop up twice as fast, so the end result is about the same for twice as much clickling.)

For the other job to be at all profitable, your minion has to kill the boss. Minions are rare, recruiting attempts spawn penalties, and only 1 of 8 is a combatant with a chance to succeed (still small). Upgrading minions requires a lot of appropriate Lore, bought at random with Funds (hope you don't get a mundane book)... you see where it's going.

It is a realistic cult sim, the cult in question being an MLM pyramid. If you're thinking about joining one, buy this game: same soul-crushing bankruptcy-inducing self-actualization BS but way cheaper than an IRL MLM entry package. Otherwise, avoid it like crabs.
