 Since he is not actually God and lacks omniscience, the narrator cannot always predict the outcome of his directives.There is comic relief provided by groups of dissidents who try to sabotage God's plans and whom he repeatedly smites by "divine" wrath using the game's controls.As the narrator continues to play the game, he starts to see parallels between characters in the game and people in his own life with similar events happening on both sides of "Planck's Wall" as he refers to it.
