Setup

• The game begins each chapter with Echo in a new environment (e.g., park, gym, office, train, home).
• Player starts with a neutral rating (3/5 stars), representing public perception.
• Echo’s environment and NPC reactions are initially neutral and evolve based on player actions.
• The interface displays simple, minimal UI: current act, visual feedback stars, and subtle emotional cues from Echo.

Victory Condition

• The game has no traditional “win”, but the goal is self-realization — to end the day aligned with your authentic self.
• Narrative outcomes depend on the balance between authentic vs performative actions.
• Achieving a balanced or authentic playstyle unlocks Echo’s true reflection ending, representing inner acceptance.

End / Lose Condition

• There is no hard fail state, keeping the experience calm and reflective.
• The “loss” is symbolic—a loss of identity, not game progress.
