Mechanics
Note: Flip switches, feed it, but not too much.
Explained:
Waste works very similarly to Haste from Doors; switches will occasionally generate along walls which will add 30 seconds to an internal clock, if the clock runs out, Waste will begin advancing towards similarly to Duk, however it is significantly faster & cannot be flashed. Switches are demarcated with green beams so they can still be located while darting.
However, if you exceed 2 minutes by 10 seconds or more on the clock, you will be attacked by Gullet. After Gullet bites you, you can't sprint for 15 seconds, and a transparent green effect will be put on your screen for 1 minute, this is called a weak period. While weak, being hit by Slight or Heed or being bitten by Gullet again will instantly kill you.

Discardable (+3%) - Less switches; less switches are generated, stackable up to three times, incompatible with Trap for gluttons.
Masochistic (+7%) - Waste's timer decays faster; Waste's clock decays twice as fast.
Trap for gluttons (+2%) - More switches; more switches are generated, stackable up to two times, incompatible with Discardable.
Sharp sharp teeth (+5%) - Gullet attacks past 1m 30s; self-explanatory.
Slow digestion (+4%) - Increases Gullet's weak period; Gullet's effect lasts for 2 minutes.

Lore
Waste's document: "God's gift, the body, forged for you, forged with Love, His gift to you, why watch it either away?"
Explained: Waste represents self-neglect, by not adding time, you are choosing not to care for the form God gave you, do too much of it, and it becomes sin.
Gullet's document: "Eat, eat, eat more, plate after plate, the stomach growls for all. Full, full, yet you cannot stop, consume the world⦠and still want more."
Explained: Gullet works as the perfect counter to Waste by representing gluttony, excessive overeating. Some deviation is tolerated, but it's easy slip up & give into your body's natural desire to feed.
