To use Superhuman, you need to join the waiting list and have one of their team members go through a 30 minute onboarding call with you.
Superhuman CEO Rahul Vohra has said many times that he's modeled the user experience for Superhuman after video game design. Note that this isn't the same as gamification.
He views the onboarding for Superhuman as a "tutorial" level in a game, while getting to Inbox Zero is a reward and referring other people is the equivalent of playing with other people.
Controversially, he says that he doesn't care what people want or need, but obsesses over how they feel. People don't need video games after all; they operate as entertainment.
I'd highly recommend watching a talk or two of his on YouTube if you're interested in his thoughts on the relationship between video game and product design.
