0–1H PROMISE
The first value the game proves and asks the player to trust.
NOVASMC STRATEGY SHOWROOM · 0–100H VALUE CONTINUITY LENS
Does the value promised in the first session survive complexity, accumulated investment, social dependency, and the 100-hour horizon?
Lost Ark, Clash of Clans, Monster Strike, Homescapes, Roblox, and State of Survival compare six routes of value continuity across the 0–100-hour line.
Apply the same question to every title and read repeatable structures with contextual differences, not as a ranking.
CURATION STANDARD & SHARED AXES
Six updated titles selected to compare accumulated mastery, collection, space, world, and social value across a common direct-play horizon.
The first value the game proves and asks the player to trust.
How the core loop expands without losing its original meaning.
How time, currency, roster, and knowledge become durable assets.
How competition, cooperation, and social obligation alter the value contract.
Whether the first promise remains recognizable inside the mature system.

SHOWROOM SYNTHESIS
The purpose is not to rank games. It is to isolate repeatable structural signals while keeping the difference in each title's context visible.
COMMON SUCCESS DNA
Value remains continuous when every new layer extends a decision the player already understands.
Accumulated time becomes trustworthy when knowledge, assets, and relationships retain a credible future use.
The 100-hour horizon exposes whether complexity deepens the original promise or quietly replaces it.
DECISION IMPLICATIONS
Let the player trace how the first skill, reward, and goal remain useful across later systems.
Review the same value contract at 1, 10, 30, 50, and 100 hours instead of treating retention as one average.
