# Product: Playing the game

Our apps are products. The documentation is also a product.

Running a product is a game, and the game is about building the health of the product in response to incoming stimuli.

What else can be considered a "product", in the way that term is used here?
{% endhint %}

Imagine our products as members of Lightward themselves. Locksmith and Mechanic and their respective documentation – [they all have the same priorities as you do](https://www.lightward.guide/priorities). The only difference is, they're not autonomous. They need you to help them make good on those priorities.

That's the game. You're playing *as* the product, and your goal is just to be healthy, respecting the [priorities](https://www.lightward.guide/priorities) of those three tiers of health.

## How to play

1. [**Load the game**](https://www.lightward.guide/product/1-load) by seeking out all relevant context, everything that previous players have saved for you to use.
2. [**Play the game**](https://www.lightward.guide/product/2-play) like only you can. In this moment, you are the protagonist.
3. [**Save your game**](https://www.lightward.guide/product/3-save), such that someone else can seamlessly pick it up and continue gameplay later from where you left off.
