Short Version: If I ever have to read a visual novel with #00FF00 green as the sole background again, I'm going to strangle something.
Slightly Longer Version: On one hand, everything this game is saying is mostly true, if delivered in a dry manner. Capitalism is a hellscape and the commodification of any and every style or state of being is something to be cognizant of, even (if not especially) when it becomes frightfully untenable to separate capitalist meddling from "earnest expression" (whatever that supposedly means).
I don't think the way to deliver that message is through a stoic diatribe quoting verbose philosophers and using terminology that no-one will understand unless you have the specific knowledge of the author. For how much the text absolutely loves to relish in the (warranted) skepticism of 'new sincerity', it equally eschews any form of accessibility, almost as if to intentionally stifle and out-word any form of questioning that comes from it. I think that there is a good reason people dismiss this as a 'twitter thread visual novel', it presents the same austere and unrelenting tiredness as one to the uninitiated.
TL;DR: Sometimes, dumbing it down is a good thing,

A super small sci-fi exploration game with a ton of mystery. Plus, a fun goal wherein a locked .zip file of bonus content has a password findable in-game. Good stuff! I love the atmosphere. :)
