Life is a video game.

Everyone else is an NPC.
Don’t confuse what they want
for what you want.

Want to care about an NPC?
Invest more in their storyline than yours?

Totally ok.

You’ll want to keep your health stats up, naturally. But you don’t have to play for the main any more than you want to.

Your main is just the character you most directly control.

It’s an infinite, 1-player game with lots of cool NPCs.

(Of course, you can totally go for it if you want to.)

Depending on your region, you might get a storyline that says if you want something, you can just move in its direction and get it

It’s just the marketing

You might have this edition if your main

- speaks English
- lives in the West
- really likes the idea of free will

It works more like a game of Space Invaders. You can move left and right, but you can’t make the baddies come any faster than they’re going to.
