我们读到了一篇通过脑机接口治疗抑郁症的案例，它引发了我们的思考，包括该技术的风险、伦理问题，以及资本介入可能造成的负面影响。因此我们写了一个抑郁症患者上班的过程，他在最后得知自己没有抑郁症，脑机接口手术也是被迫完成的，一切都在公司控制之下。

我们借鉴了卡夫卡《变形记》中变成虫子也坚持要上班的主人公。坚持上班的荒诞，旨在提醒玩家事实没有那么简单。游戏中的细节也证明了这一点。我们制作了主人公家中和公司的场景，将谜题嵌入进去，让主人公的偏执融入到游戏玩法中。

在特色玩法上，我们受到了解谜游戏《Hue》的启发。在不同的精神状态值下，主角的视角颜色不同，同时物品也会发生变化。

带有阴谋论色彩的剧情背后，是我们提醒人们注意技术双面性、警惕资本介入、引发相关思考，同时呼吁人们关注抑郁症患者处境的美好愿望。

We read a case study on treating depression through brain-computer interfaces, which sparked our reflections on the risks, ethical concerns, and potential negative impacts of capital intervention in such technology. In response, we created a narrative about a depressed person going to work, who, in the end, finds out they are not actually depressed, and that the brain-computer interface surgery was forced upon them. Everything was under the company's control.

We drew inspiration from Kafka's The Metamorphosis, where the protagonist, even after turning into an insect, still insists on going to work. The absurdity of this persistence serves as a reminder to players that the reality is more complex than it seems. Details within the game also reinforce this notion. We designed the protagonist's home and workplace scenes, embedding puzzles into them, allowing the protagonist's paranoia to blend seamlessly into the gameplay.

In terms of unique gameplay, we were inspired by the puzzle game Hue. Depending on the protagonist's mental state, their perspective's colors change, and so do the objects in the environment.

Behind the conspiracy-laden plot, we aim to remind people of the dual nature of technology, the dangers of capital involvement, and provoke related reflections, while also calling attention to the difficult situations faced by those suffering from depression.
