It's an ok game. I like the concept, though!

People saying that they hate ARG
But I kinda like it

I have to admit that the initial concept of it seemed very special, but it was subverted with an ARG lost love narrative that.. Well... While it was trying to tell its own story, it doesn't quite hold a candle to the potential of the premise itself. I would love to see it explored further. The abandonment of these old multiplayer spaces. The experience itself, valuable.. The ARG elements, if you like it, well, it certainly delivers for people who love a good unreality puzzlebox. Can't exactly knock it, but it's not what I was here for. Worth a try. If you've ever felt pangs of sadness opening Half Life Deathmatch or Unreal Tournament Gold. Anything like it. Witness a slow digital death.

Honestly, I feel kinda bad rating this game as low as I am. I feel like it accomplishes what it's trying to do, and I really like it's aesthetic and premise. The reason why I'm rating it so low is because even though I really do love ARGs and ARG elements when used in video games, this was still really disappointing for me, mostly because it's not the game I WANTED. I would totally be down to play an entire game that's JUST exploring an abandoned multiplayer lobby, liminal space style, and the narrative and ARG stuff took away from what I enjoyed about this game. But when you take away those expectations, it's probably pretty okay. Idk this game is free, if you wanna check out an already solved short little ARG experience, then yeah go for it. Otherwise, probably not what you're looking for.

fuck arg's fuck the caretaker and fuck p.t.

Was cool until I realized it was an ARG. I admire the effort but it's just not my thing.
