+This is the opposite of a building game.
+
+Dwarf Fortress presents a world which decays over time.
+The player must build, despite the decay.
+
+Every Sims game invites a player to build with limited resources, then feeds entropy into the system.
+The player enforces order.
+
+But the fishtank is order.
+
+The fishtank will right itself.
+Every death creates an environment for flourishing later.
+The ecosystem will always pull itself back to the same old patterns, held up by a solid inter-linked food-chain.
+The fishtank appears chaotic, but it has rules.
+
+The player must break the rules to be free.
+

+They must understand the system, then destroy it.
+
+This should feel like the opposite of a building game.
+They must play on the system until it collapses in on itself.
