Now featuring a SECRET MODE which unlocks the Eternal React Boulder as a PLAYABLE CHARACTER. Since this game is tortuous enough without having to search for the secret, you can use this clue to help you:
Where boulder meets Content's delight
See where Sisyphus takes brief flight
Interact by candlelight
On the side that's not the right.
Happy reacting only!

I liked this simulation because it reminded me that I must imagine Sysiphus happy. I am reacting to content
edit: the content crashed while I wrote my reaction. I guess I have to reload the web page and do it all over again
Well, isn't that the most wicked boulder I have ever seen. The dread filled music was a great touch as well! I highly encourage others to click "don't" on the main menu.
Despite not having read Camus, this felt very real.
Also, the drone sound that happens when you double-click on dialogue was incredible.
