DISCOVER THE MEANING OF LIFE
With the help of the esteemed* and all-knowing** Dr. Universe, explore all the different possible solutions*** to Rowan Roach’s deeply unsatisfying life and career. Maybe he’d feel better through sickening universal optimism. Oh! Oh! Maybe try being BRUTALLY HONEST! Yeah! That’s never gone wrong before****?
COMMISERATE WITH OTHER D̶E̶G̶E̶N̶E̶R̶A̶T̶E̶S̶ CLIENTS
There’s plenty of opportunity for growth and development in this safe space from reality. From a humiliated reaper to a thirsty vampire, from the secretary to that estranged dog thing that locked itself in the closet and hasn’t come out yet. When you’re done gawking at them you might even gleam a thing or two.
YOU'RE PATHETIC

That said, that is an issue for the types who like to mine the things they play for all they're worth - I don't think someone just looking to play a game or have an experience will have that sort of hang-up.
