Oh, I misunderstood. I thought the button was just clearing a game, but I saw in one of your responses that the entire player file is cleared.
In that case, I like something like "Erase Player" more.

Maybe "Reset Save File", or "Reset Save Game", or just "Reset Game", or maybe "Start Over".
Those are what popped into my head, but I'm always unsure about this stuff. "Names for Buttons" are such a hard part of UI. I can agonize over a label for hours, only to end up back where I started.

Me too! All the normal work and routines start to seem meaningless when they're about to go away in a few days. I always get a sort of pre-trip depression (even for really fun trips!).
There's a sort of opposite feeling when I get back—everything's fresh again, with open, uninterrupted space ahead.

I'm doing that for my game (no assets, all graphics and sounds are procedural). It's probably more work overall, but fun opportunities emerge for exploiting the procedural nature of everything (special visual/aural effects in deep sync with the dynamic game system, etc.).

Well, it might be better than the "working on a 'simpler' game (in order to prepare for working on my dream game)" to "5 years of development: what went wrong" pipeline, lol.

It's not an app, but I love this book:
shop.himalayaninstitute.org/collections/...
It has a 60-minute stretch sequence for general body/range-of-motion maintenance, with pictures of all the stretches. Not sure if it involves every single muscle & tendon, but it sometimes feels that way to me.
