Thank you for playing! In fact, the game and its gameplay are based on real life, but it's in a backward sequence.
The gameplay represents the present, and the bigger mechanics of the game are rooted in the greed of people around the world, LOL.
The VHS effect before the cinematic reveals the event where the developer discovers he/she has been betrayed by a greedy person.
Finally, the cinematic at the end portrays a person who is excessively greedy and willing to do anything to make money.
