Front / Description:

As a player, I want to be presented with action events that are engaging, require my input on how the development team or others should act, and are crafted in a creative, funny, or educational manner. This ensures I remain engaged and entertained while selecting options that subtly sabotage the project, consistent with my role as a tester with hidden motives.

This story involves narrative design and player choice impact consideration.
