I'm embarrassed how long it took me to figure this out. Literally beat the whole game and then watched someone else's playthrough before going "Oh hey, that's an hourglass"

This pulls you into the world? I'd be way too interested in how the gravity of the situation is still stable. It's neat, but doesn't look plausible.

It isn't stable, when it runs out the star explodes.

This is a great video essay with spoilers: https://youtu.be/H-yTZFi-_eY?si=MTCX0Qid6Xc826p9
