It's as if you were on your phone
You are standing at a party. You are here as a good friend invited you. You know one person at this party. You've barely had anything to drink. It's a little too awkward to not bring out the laser to cut the tension - your phone. You could open your email, whatsapp, youtube, twitter, instagram, hn... but that would cause excess cognitive load and kill the calm of the mind. And you want to avoid this. Play it is as if you were on your phone.
You are in the bus by yourself and there's a pretty girl in you line of sight. Too awkward - yup pull out the phone and play it is as if you were on your phone.
You've somehow gotten yourself in the middle of a family event and it's awkward ultra pro max and... you guessed it - sling out the phone and it is as if you were on your phone.
The game will also ofcourse give physical cues to appear most normal - extreme awkwardness can make one look like a lizard.
Also from the same author, absolutely hilarious it is as if you were making love.
