I think it is reasonable to expect that a game that is called ”Autism Simulator” is likely neither going to a) be easy b) very enjoyable c) make much sense. You could also complain similarly about the game called ”Paying Hospital Bills Without Money” being unfair or that ”Terminal Cancer Ward” -game is impossible to beat. Hell, why not complain that Josef K in Kafka’s trial is quite unfairly treated? I think it is fairly reasonable to expect the player to manage their expectations and consider the game more as an art piece. Otherwise you miss the point completely.
I think it's very reasonable to expect it to make sense. For an autism simulator in particular, I expect my stats to make more sense than in the average simulator.
That doesn't mean it has to be easy or even winnable, but I should be able to figure out how my choices directly affect me.
And those other games you theorize put the difficulty in the title. "Autism simulator" does not, and it says at the start that this is supposed to be a "typical work week".
