Get a snack at 4 am

The game starts with the player waking up in their house at 4:00 AM, after their self-conscious informs them about their starvation. They will advise the player to go find a late night snack, as long as they be sneaky about it. After this, the player is free to explore the game world.

They are able to explore the different locations in the game, which are mainly the house, the outside and the store. They are able to pick up items by interacting with them, and they can be used to complete different tasks and witness the various endings. Sometimes, special events known as rare occurrences can happen. Witnessing rare occurrences or experiencing the endings can net trophies, which are then placed in the player’s bedroom.

The game keeps a track of the total amount of play time the player has spent in the bottom left corner. It only advances during actual gameplay, not during ending or menu screens. There is also a ton of static easter eggs and references sprinkled across the entire game, particularly in the main three locations.
