It's a game about creativity and ambition and justice, set on the Internet when the Internet still promised a cyberspace utopia. Sticks the landing somewhere amidst a bunch of moods -- campy, beautiful, hilarious and gutwrenching -- it never feels unfocused despite the subject matter. If you've ever used the Wayback Machine to find an old online community you were a part of, and been simultaneously overjoyed and existentially flattened by the experience, you kind of get what this game is going for and will probably feel quite validated. If you haven't, it's still an impressive and emotional story. Only thing I'll say is that you might get some pacing issues near the end. I say 'might' because it depends on how deeply you explore the game's fictional internet early on and when you find certain pieces of information. It's a consequence of the game's non-linearity. It causes issues like that, but it also makes your experience unique and personal. It's a worthy trade-off in my opinion -- you're not going to remember the pacing issues for very long.

The game is beautiful and impressive and validating despite the pacing issues. If you love story-based games and the Weird Internet, you won't be able to escape this one for a few days.
