Man, that was a neat game. Really enjoyed the 90s nostalgia. The art, music, and writing were all on point. I have fond-ish memories of geocities and xanga and the like, and it was fun to explore a well-done and humorous recreation of that period.
Unfortunately, in only 6.5 hours, it managed to be both frustrating and monotonous. Most of the first handful of cases felt more tedious than engaging (looking through dozens of pages for "shocker" images in particular), and the final case was just a bit too esoteric for my liking. I only missed one little thing (something that showed up temporarily on a flashing page) and ended up spiraling off, despite knowing the general type of thing I needed to find. I ended up using a guide to figure out that bit since I'd hit my frustration point. Oh well.
Still, it worked really well as an interactive art gallery with a bit of a story to it. Definitely worth the time if you have any amount of 90s nostalgia or just enjoy the particular stylings of the period. Just don't torture yourself for hours on the last case like I did haha.
