And there's all this buildup to how the one thing he's been working toward his whole life has been getting this promotion at work, and he has the golf date with his boss and his buddies And then the actual game is just this generic golf game

And then the endings drop back into Great American Novel mode and what happened in the game determines whether the character becomes a hypocritical plutocrat or runs off to the mountains to find himself or dies by suicide

(The "winning" ending requires that you take second place but let the boss actually win)

He gets the promotion and embraces the empty promises of the American Dream and is able to throw money at all his problems to make them seem to go away (his wife doesn't leave, he sends the kid to a military academy)

If you actually win the game and humiliate your boss in front of his friends you end up getting coldly ignored at work and fired a few weeks later, which precipitates the mental breakdown that leads to your suicide

Ironically the only way to give your character enough time to realize his life is bullshit and he needs to consciously step away from it and rethink everything is to do mediocrely enough at the game that nothing about his life changes

(If you do really really badly at the game you become a laughingstock and are so humiliated you also kill yourself The fact that getting the best and worst possible scores leads to the same ending is, like, deep)

The best ending is actually really the best ending because it involves a plutocrat becoming embarrassed
