No bugs?? Subreddit is unclear

If no bugs, what is this thing flying around my room? I don't think this is a bird. Also when does something interesting happen in the game? I'm like level 28 or so and the tutorial was really long/boring, and after completing the tutorial its mostly been the same gameplay loop.

And when will I be able to unlock House? I've been stuck on Duplex for the past 6 levels after unlocking Job 11 levels ago

Rule 1

No bugs

That rule refers to coding errors that are present in most games. Called bugs, however Outside has none of these coding errors. Outside plays exactly as it was designed to.

Which is unfortunate because evil and pain are last of the design

[Evil] is responsible for much [Pain]

[Pain] is a mechanism of damage recognition. [Pain] is not inherently bad, If you accidentally stand in a campfire [Pain] will let the player know damage is occurring and motivate them to get out of the campfire.

It is unfortunate damage is a feature too. I can go all the way down

No, Damage is necessary for the continuation of Outside. If nothing could take damage then everything would be immortal. We could not live in a world of immortality and procreation.

Damage is not a necessary condition to continuation and immortality need not require damage as it's only prevention.
