This is a gross misconception of what actually was reported, nor can anyone say it’s “common.” In people who are already frustrated with certain elements of their lives, those frustrations came to the surface for conscious resolution – the entire point of that scripting. The disconnect already existed within, the title does not “cause” it or “lead” to it, the individual was already experiencing it and was made aware of exactly what was happening.
@friday actually had the best example of it, as he was already experiencing a form of frustration with his chosen career in the medical industry due to corruption and misinformation. What he reported was that the frustration came into his conscious awareness and he chose to stop using Genesis because he was already so far into his education and decided that he could actually still do good within the industry by working to change it from the inside out.
From that perspective, the scripting WORKED. Instead of having to deal with unresolved emotions regarding this, he was able to resolve the issue and then quit the title – one of the things I spoke about when we made Genesis. It wasn’t meant to be used continuously, it was made for shorter runs to bring these issues to the surface.
When I tested Genesis, it helped me clear some issues regarding hobbies of mine. I’ve always wanted to make a video game, or engage in some kind of media where I could flex my narrative muscles. But I always had a problem working on something that didn’t seem “practical” and very helpful to humanity. So the entire time I was working on a hobby, I was constantly thinking about how I should instead work on something SubClub related. Genesis helped me clear that by helping me see the subtle connections between my non-SC creative work and the SC creative work in ways that I can’t openly explain but I understand.
Saying there’s an “identity / purpose” crisis can be a bit misleading as to the nature of what the title is intended to do. It’s intended to help you find your purpose, which most people don’t engage in due to various reasons. Self-confidence, self-worth issues, issues with wanting to feel needed, etc. It brings those to the surface, which may not feel the best, but may be necessary to proceed nonetheless.
Hence, a short run of Genesis could indeed serve as a foundational title if the person is open-minded to what they TRULY want to do as opposed to what they feel like they must.
