i mean is interesting about this fact...this game talk about depression and anxiety so the life is like a game you can't pause it or escape it, that's for why you need to finish the game or stopping him by closing it manually

Alt-F4 triggers an achievement, try using Enter-Alt-F4.

hi, it is not "messing" with your computer persay but is accessing your files it tells you this before you play so things like being able to leave the game

because the game is in you compture
(no data is being sold don't worry and it only access very basic things.

The point of the game is you have to do it in one go, so it stops you from exiting but there are ways around that but know if you exit you lose all progress and have to restart (your steam achivements are saved though)

in windows to exit i press the windows button or simply turn my compture on and off. (sorry for bad spelling)

when the game is loaded you receive these messages warning you about everything that is to come. The game also states to press Enter-Alt-F4 instead of Alt-F4. Cant really feel bad for ya.

If you can't spare an hour and a half to play a game, why bother starting it?

If you read the start up screens it tells you that to shut down the game you need to press return(enter key)+alt+f4. Please read those screens. They contain valuable information and warnings.

That's a rather odd thing to say. So people should only play games if they have at least an hour and a half of free time? Some people are curious and want to see what a game is like before playing it through, some people only have half an hour break to spare etc.

Then they should manage their time better before attempting to play a game that clearly states you can't quit without completing it.

"The point of the game is you have to do it in one go,"
so it's a sort of roguelike game?

Not at all. It's a narrative game. Somewhat walking simulator adjacent. It's not at all similar to a roguelike. It's just designed to be played in one sitting, to the point where you're unable to quit the game until after you've completed it. IIRC a play-through should take between 1-2 hours.
