Long Game Turns Quitting Games Into a Different Kind of Game

Field notes

Long Game organizes gaming reduction around three possible paths: honest tracking, a declining weekly budget, or an indefinite quit attempt. Its proposed interface includes an urge-delay screen, a dated three-question reflection, and eight permanent ranks earned through sleep, deep work, exercise, and social contact. The homepage gives a concrete sample target—4 hours 10 minutes used against 7 hours—and cites research while noting that correlation is not causation. The app itself is described as forthcoming for iPhone.
