Gameboy was created by the Pillman character in the engineering bay at Potato-1 station and embodies the addiction to games. He lives on his own territory on a planet of Addictions, where people have to compete with each other. Playing here is not just entertainment, but an important type of learning social skills and information transfer. Due to the game, the desire to compete is developed, therefore, dominant traits for further reproduction. Reproduction can be of different types: intellectual, spiritual, and bodily. The game contributes to the success of these types of reproduction and is naturally laid down as a necessary program for development. The problem is that in the modern world there are an infinite number of games and many opportunities to play them. In such a situation, games no longer help, but become an evil addiction, touching beyond the norm. It is impossible to enter the planet of Dependencies alone, only in a group (at least 4 people). Here, people are waiting for various tests that they need to pass in order to get an audience with the Gameboy and additional prizes: weapons, talismans, etc. Only those who do everything together and whose friendship only grows stronger during the trials can win.
