Stop!
⊹ ˚ ₊ ✦ ₊ ˚ ⊹
Sometimes, even the most mundane tasks drain all your energy: washing a mug, carrying a notebook, mopping the floor.
Every movement brings you closer to burnout, and sometimes stopping to take a breath is more important than rushing ✧
⊹ ˚₊ Overload ₊˚ ⊹
While the heroine is moving or firing, a dark vignette constricts the field of view—from full screen to a tiny circle around her. After a half-second pause, the world slowly expands back.
✦ Movement and shots narrow the view
✦ Along with the vignette, a mist of bubbles appears
✦ A pause—the only remedy: the view expands, the mist dissipates

Take your time

If nothing is done for 30 seconds, the heroine begins to recover: +1 life every 5 seconds. Speed is not rewarded—the ability to pause is. ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

Surrounding the heroine and the enemies is a fine, light outline, ensuring they are not lost in the haze. The edge of the vignette wavers, as if the darkness were breathing.

A short, looping background ambient track with a smooth crossfade—no abrupt cuts. The pitch of each sound gently shifts, to prevent monotony.
