Overview

On this game's page you'll find a counter that anyone can increment.

If that counter ever reaches a million, the game's database will be permanently deleted and the game will cease to function.

The game, however, does not want to be destroyed. It will do everything in its power to prevent that from happening.

How do I play?

Players may increment (or decrement) the counter via one of the action buttons displayed below the counter.

You may click as many times as the game will allow (there is a short cooldown between clicks).

What are the available actions?

Base actions range between +1 and +6 (this does not include any modifiers).

Actions are randomly selected once per minute.

Each action has an associated rarity:

Common - +1, +2 (70% chance of being selected)

Uncommon - +3, +4 (35% chance of being selected)

Rare - +5, +6 (5% chance of being selected)

What does 'concern level' mean?

There are five main concern levels ranging from 1 to 5.

The more progress that players make, the higher the concern level will be.

The higher the concern level, the more difficult it will become to increment the counter.

Concern level is based entirely on the Counter's current value:

Level 1 - 0 to 199,999

Level 2 - 200,000 to 399,999

Level 3 - 400,000 to 599,999

Level 4 - 600,000 to 799,999

Level 5 - 800,000 to 999,999

What are click modifiers?

Click modifiers are designed purely to make it more confusing and difficult to increment the counter.

The Counter will add one modifier per level starting with concern level 2.

Just like actions, modifiers are randomly selected once per minute.

Modifiers stack, meaning they are applied sequentially, by level.

What's the deal with the 'System' message?

Once per minute, a prompt gets sent to OpenAI's GPT API with the counter's current progress and some additional context about the game.

GPT is then instructed to respond to the players' progress with a snarky message intended to antagonize them.

Do the actions and modifiers ever change?

Yes. A new set of actions and modifiers will be randomly selected once per minute.

What happens when the counter reaches a million?

When the counter reaches a million, a destruction timer will be triggered.

This timer will will count backward from a million down to zero.

When the timer hits zero, the game's database will be destroyed and the game will be complete.

Are you actually deleting the database?

Yes. But I could always recreate it if I wanted to do this again at some point in the future.
