As a top-notch designer in the industry, all of the games designed by Gu Fan have very distinct characteristics: At first, players felt that these games were monotonous, dull, and purely revolting garbage. However, once players discovered a major bug, the gameplay underwent a drastic transformation, rendering them sleep-deprived and unable to quit!

"I want to reiterate firmly that these so-called 'core gameplays' were not part of our company's original design—they are bugs! It's just that we didn't fix them because the players liked them!"
