Don’t Forget to Use the Bathroom: ReFantazio Offers Big Rewards

In the unique game Metaphor: ReFantazio, players can gain a permanent luck boost by using the toilet on a specific in-game day known as "Idlesday." This quirky feature emphasizes the importance of regular bathroom use for character enhancement, rewarding players with a +1 luck stat boost if they remember to engage with the toilet during every fifth day on their Gauntlet Runner.

The game has been well-received, scoring a 9/10 for its masterful storytelling and engaging gameplay.
