Phonemae is a chill take on the incremental genre, at first it's very manual, I recommend you play with a click macro to finish the first 2 cycles (prestige equivalent) since the game isn't sponsored by physiotherapists. At the moment the upgrades aren't incremental (infinite) and I hope the game gains enough traction to get such a gamemode implemented.
The game has a passive narration, you're some kind of an afterlife memories harvester and they kinda feel close to home with their descriptions. You'll mostly find basic memories but as you progress you'll find weird ones, as if they're talking to you, telling you weird things about yourself, the worker.
This game feels closer to a philosophical take on memories and how we all share similar ones even though we live completely different lives.
The more you advance, the more the world seems to become unstable as you (indirectly) find your own memories in the souls, past lives memories telling you that it's not your first time doing this work.
I might be completely wrong but that's how it made me feel:
This part feels like a criticism to society as we forget the past and the mistakes done (in history or personally) just to do them once again and forget again, a perpetual cycle of self denial.
