You start working under your grandpa in the workshop because the world is all-too-quickly shifting back into traditional and simpler ways to live. Grandpa, born in 2009, couldn’t keep up with the pace everyone is learning to make things by hand, and sticks with his familiar digital lifestyle. He helps out in the shop by ordering supplies you need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Grandpa advocated for maximum efficiency and autonomy to his life. Upon reflection, he cut out what life was worth living for. There are times when you should contemplate for hours, to write not to be scaled and to make only for your satisfaction. This game is to let grandpa understand why the world is moving back to slow work.
Sammie also learns that her lifestyle is volatile and although favourable now, will have advocates pushing a generation to a new direction, of which Samm either follows or stays with what she knows and believes in more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Personalities<\/h2>\n\n\n\nSammie<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- This is referring to the people I read about on philosophy who basically antagonise how modern people live. There are many blogs about how people should live slower and more intentionally and they have inspired me and changed how i live.\n
\n- Examples of westenberg.<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
- The science of doing nothing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Slow productivity and Deep work Cal Newport<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- I want this to feel like an argument against myself because I struggle with overthinking and commitment and other things. I want this to arrive to a sophisticated conclusion because I know a lot of people struggle with this even more than me.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Grandpa Greg<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n- Greg is referencing people who love all things tech. In my opinion, they’re people who value efficiency of everything and want things done fast and at scale.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Ironically, because Greg has so much tech, they’ll have to spend more time managing it rather than creating things as tech has promised him.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Greg will also represent people who aren’t bothered or think it’s worthless to think for yourself. He is always after anything to make<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Rough Storyline<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
note: The narrative happens at night Gameplay<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nSeason 1
You start working for grandpa, you instantly come across a mess and you have to adapt around it as you first do your commissions. Grandpa is quite friendly but does point out why you want to do physical commissions when now everything can be instantly made and printed.
You say there is value in making and giving it away, its meaningful to slow down and focus efforts into a single project for the day or week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- You continue moving his stuff out of the way for your needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Grandpa Greg retreats to his room.<\/li>\n\n\n\n

\n- Sammie starts prying more about Gregs lifestyle<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Sammie keeps talking about how schools are teaching her now, which provokes Greg<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Sammie challenges Greg, as a cherry on top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Greg challenges Sammie back, but you notice that hes starting to sound more like AI\n
\n- Use an actual AI prompt and argue with it. Write it down.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Greg makes a point that he creates things just like Sammie.\n
\n- Sammie replies that it looks more like he’s polishing and managing his tools more than using them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Sammie points out the amount of stuff he has both around and digitally.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Season 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Sammie confronts that tech has stolen his agency of life.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Greg gets fed up and lashes out slightly<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Greg doesnt want to think that he is living incorrectly<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Greg stops ordering supplies for Sammie<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Sammie sees that Greg plugged himself into an AI bot that is trying to answer how hes living right or wrong. He’s completely absorbed and unresponsive to reality.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Sammie spends the next day trying to unplug his safely.\n
\n- As she learns, she becomes more appreciative of the complexities and navigating through them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Sammies resolve to Greg is that he doesnt know who he is because he traded his life and ideas to AI and automation. He needs to come up with his own conclusions.\n
\n- Grandpa slowly comes up with his own personal conclusion:\n
\n- My generation beliefs withered.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Your generation is impermanent. Can you handle change?<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- I couldnt, I double downed. All these things hold my warmest memories.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- I’ve isolated myself from you by staying here.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You helped me and figured out how to use my tools. I should start seeing how you work too.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Season 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Sammie starts to understand that her lifestyle is temporary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Greg is slightly startled about how much of his life is automated.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Greg starts thinking by himself a little more (as in, without using AI)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Sammie starts accepting that whatever the generation believes she should be doing and she likes doing, will be kept to herself when she is like grandpa.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Dialogue Scenarios<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Sammie’s Dialogue will be curious about how Geoff lived back in the day. She would ask provoking questions because she was taught about how 50 years ago tech swallowed humanity. She will be open without insisting on her views but will argue for her opinions.
Sammie will change after realising that the way she thinks will also feel as outdated as Geoff’s, how it’s ok<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Geoff’s Dialogue will be precise, slightly cold and for all the stereotypical tech advantages.
Geoff will change by trying to understand the failing of tech, and why people are much more reserved by it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/am3n24\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2026-08-13-at-19.55.53-1024x655.png\")

Empty ethos of my secondary school.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\nSeason 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- I grew up on this platform called Youtube. There, the price you pay is simple. Either you do it for yourself and get hardly an audience or you succumb to their desire by paying with who you are.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- How is that any form of connection? Youre virtual and letting yourself go!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Season 3<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Sammie gets taught about the downfall of tech of which grandpa denies as something that is good.\n
\n- Eventually, as the climax reaches, grandpa partially admits in his generations flaw, but asks Sammie if she is willing to give up the lifestyle she grew up with,\n
\n- Youre right that this tech has its own issues. Like everyday something breaks, or needs a software update, but every generation compensates on something. You deny a lot of good from tech, you deny brilliant minds that genuinely wanted better for us. We still had people who fought companies even if they worked for them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- There must be a reason why all of this collapsed and im trying to handle it whilst keeping what grew me as a child.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- will you be able to handle the world changing if traditional media falls again? Will the world ignore the temptation of efficiency even in a decades time?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Technology seemed like it would never fail until it started eating us whole, because people became the bottleneck of efficiency. So we collapsed it to rebuild another version of what it means to be alive. And we chose to make less. Depend on less. Have less. And therefore care more. Take our time. Contemplate like the Romans.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- It seems like the last few generations wanted a break<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- But it also seems that speed has been seducing humanity once more.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- You are very talented with your hands Sammie. You’re patient and calm and show it with every plan, chisel and carve. And this generation loves that. But can you handle that when everyone moves on?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Season 4<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Sammie, I hope I didn’t startle you too much and I hope your studies go well. I think all I want to say is, keep track of how your generation will change. Try understanding it and follow it. And if there is something you love about your generation, cherish it, and let people understand why. Don’t hide yourself away like Grandpa Greg.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
