First I’ve heard of this, immediately wishlisted. The Beginner’s Guide had a huge impact on me when it first came out as I was going through some major imposter syndrome and career angst, and here I am in a place of extreme burnout and Davey is making a game about working through burnout?

Trying to get over your work related burnout through doing more work - is probably the dumbest AND worst idea I’ve heard in a while. Why would anyone do that other than that they’re in a kind of pathological denial or hace unresolved issues driving such behavior.

At least in my experience, enjoyable work on a project you have control over is quite different from working on projects for the corporate overlords with unreasonable expectations and deadlines. The former can be a really good outlet to remind you how rewarding work can be when you have control of how, when and what you work on.
