Players only need to pass a certain number of levels
before moving to the next stage of grief, but as they get more difficult skipping a level may not always help.
The game consisted in finding all the story bits in a
zone before moving to the next zone, and in assembling the bits in your head to form a coherent picture.
By
asking before moving to the next stage, it gives both parties a chance to pause for a moment and consider what advancing means to them and if they are ready for it.
