you also don't fall asleep at your desk as a response to a birthday party in the office early in the morning after a good nights' sleep, but if you play a one-sided game in this that's what happens. it's not a reality simulator, incredibly few video games are. the whole thing seems like a conflicted struggle between "I want to make a game" and "I need to get my points across", often to the detriment of the game-part. It's an interesting concept though.

  I think the subject matter makes it interesting conceptually, not gameplay. Execution matters regardless, but not all innovations are in mechanics of gameplay.

  Can you name another multiple choice game about this subject?

  I think you're overly inflating the word "interesting" here. It doesn't imply novelty, innovation or anything groundbreaking. It's just of interest, which isn't a high bar.

My lived experience is that high stress situations frequently make me feel like just going to sleep.

  This may have multiple causes (past experience/trauma, energy levels, existing depression, sleep troubles, anything on the spectrum of autism, like ADHD...). As far as energy levels go, if you are already tired, you may lack energy to cope with stressful situations, which leads you to procrastinate or even sleep too just not face it. From personal experience, low (just below the lower limit, so nothing seemingly dramatic) vitamin D levels may affect one's energy levels negatively (always tired, brain fog, everything feels hard...), and having appropriate vitamin D levels may already provide one with a clear mind and remove the hardship of dealing with most of what others consider as seemingly simple situations. You might be depressed because of low energy levels, instead of the other way around. So, make sure your energy levels are appropriate and that your mitochondria work fine. (Any LLM will provide you with detailed info about energy levels and mitochondria). Of course, that's only based on personal experience, and I'm a software engineer, not a Doctor. Have a nice day.

  Same if it involves a human yelling. If I'm in my bed while it's happening , I might actually sleep briefly. It becomes impossible to stay awake sometimes. Other high stress situations involving actually solving something motivates me though.

    Other people's? Like, I don't get meltdowns myself but I've seen others that do.

This seems to be a common issue with mediocre video game writers and designers, especially those politically motivated. If you can't trust your audience to make up their own mind about the subject matter then maybe the interactive medium isn't the right one for you.
