Incremental Watcher

Welcome to "Incremental Watcher".

Introduction
I decided to create this experiment after reading various posts on reddit and X regarding the AI debate and noticing the recent trend of "games" that have you do brain-numbing tasks and/or just watch something happen with absolute minimal gameplay.

This "game" was created entirely by AI (including the cover image) in one shot after drafting the design document. It took only 1 hour to create (15 minutes of which were spent by AI actually doing the code/graphics etc.).

Treat this as a social critique / experiment / performance "art". I want to put the finger on the attention economy and what people actually play / stream / watch these days. Please be invited to a healthy debate and discussion, but stay civilized.

The "goal" of the game
"Incremental Watcher" allows you to watch several streamers playing "Needle in a Haystack", trying to find it. This takes each streamer up to 5 hours. Some might give up on the way, go offline and try again later. Others will find the needle before going offline. Your job is to be there when a stream hits the win and click the "Thumbs-Up" Button in the bottom right of the game-screen to applaud him for winning before he logs off. Doing so grants you 1 W.

After that, you can continue playing and watching various streamers to accumulate more W.
