BEFORE YOU COMMIT
Calculate the result
Check your current age, then do the door math. The largest number is rarely the smartest choice.
AFTER THE CHOICE
Keep climbing
Near the upper range, favor reductions. If Too Old appears, move quickly before your health runs out.
THE RULE THAT SAVES RUNS
Too Old is a countdown, not an instant loss.
Current footage shows Age 98 still labeled Ancient and Age 134 labeled Too Old. Above the practical safe range, the game warns you to lower your age and health begins to fall.

FIELD-TESTED ADVICE
Treat 100 as a working ceiling in the current build. If you cross it, choose a reduction door or sprint toward the finish.
