The Human Expenditure Program is a game that is loved for its strangeness. These are not the usual action missions but psychological challenges.
The questions: He may ask you simple things like, "Where do you want to spend your money first: food, medicine, or entertainment?" but the way he phrases the questions and the expressions make it strange, more like an experiment than a game.
Unexpected requests: Sometimes he makes you make unreasonable choices, for example, choosing to sacrifice a basic need in exchange for a meaningless one. This makes the player both confused and curious to see what the result will be if he follows.
In the Human Expenditure Program, in addition to answering strange questions, the player also has to participate in mini-games that the interviewer gives to test you. Each game is usually very simple in operation but creates a feeling of tension or absurdity because of the context and accompanying dialogue.
Some of the game types include

Some levels require you to allocate resources such as energy, money, or even happiness between different stat bars. If you put it wrong, there will be a warning.
