# Overall Design
## User Journey
On first login, the user will be informed that the website is intended for
adults and the dangers of starvation play. Once they have gone through the
acknowledgment, they will be shown the "logged out" mode for game, where there
is no cooldown for asking for meals. This is intended to be a testing
environment both for development as well as for users to understand how the game
works.
## User safety considerations
To prevent refeeding syndrome, the game will not allow users to set the maximum
fast duration over 3 days, and will be significantly more likely to allow food
after 1 day. This makes sure that refeeding syndrome risks are minimized ([This
article](https://www.verywellhealth.com/refeeding-syndrome-8720457) indicates
that 5 days in when risks start to become noticeable).
