Abstract
The goal is to enable users to wake up at their desired time without relying on the snooze function. [Solution] The game program causes the processor to perform the following steps: set a first time for sounding a first alarm to wake the user; set a timing for sounding a second alarm that follows the first time and is triggered in response to the sounding of the first alarm; sound the set first alarm in response to the arrival of the first time; start the first game processing of the first game in a user-operable manner; and, before the timing for sounding the second alarm arrives, accept a predetermined user operation on the first game processing, thereby disabling the sounding of the second alarm and providing an effect that makes the progress of the first game more advantageous than if the predetermined operation were not accepted until the timing for sounding the second alarm arrives.
