really enjoyed this. perfectly captured the internet of the late 90s while being relevant to conversations about the internet and technology of today- sometimes unfortunately so, since the real-life internet that this game so lovingly pays homage to has also been destroyed by corporate interests and egotistical men. it made me think of all the websites i spent hours on as a child that are either gone or defunct now, with limited efforts to archive them, and all the friends i made that i have no way of contacting or finding otherwise. my heart sunk when i reached the final act and read the names of the mindcrash victims- how many of my friends from back in the day are gone now, and i have no way of knowing? in my own reluctance to be overly militant about reporting violations, i chose not to ban zane or carl, and now knowing that i could have saved their lives by doing so is singlehandedly making me want to start a fresh file already.
onto gameplay- it did feel a little clunky at times needing to have so many windows open, especially for the more complex puzzles. i also think it was a surprisingly short game, though that may have been my fault for not exploring as deeply as i could have.
in all, a gorgeously designed, funny, and heartfelt game that i would gladly revisit!
