Torture Time

A game that is not a game.

The idea was to make a game that starts out as a game, and progressively remove gameplay elements, until it is no longer playable.

The music was supposed to fade from typical 90's action game music to a few weird noises and SFX alone. The bright colors was supposed to slowly fade. The GUI pieces was supposed to be taken away one by one. The only remnant of this idea is the fact that 'Level 2' is never presented.

In other words, take a game mood from something like GTA2 and slowly turn it into something unbearable. When would the audience reach their breaking point?
