I had a good time playing this game. I've never played any input-based type experience in which you feel like you are scouring the web for information, learning about people's secrets, logging into their accounts, etc. and I really liked feeling like I was immersed in what I was doing and in all the info I was collecting.
However, I would say I would only recommend this game to people that aren't looking for some in-depth hacking simulator. This is more of a guided story experience, which is my preference, so I liked it. It was a good balance of feeling like I had to do stuff on my own plus a few indicators that I'm on the right track.

A few critiques I have are that some of the clues are very easy to scroll over and not collect, which made me want to look up a guide for a lot of the sequences. I tried to do the majority on my own, but towards the end of the game especially, I was heavily leaning on online guides to know what to do. But with that being said I am REALLY bad at puzzles and have little patience, so maybe take that part with a grain of salt.
Also, the translations and awkwardness of the dialogue in this game is very prominent. It can be a bit jarring to have such a graphically unique and interesting game have those awkward dialogue moments that a lot of the time didn't make complete sense. But if you can look past those issues and just have fun hacking away, it's a fun game at its core and you can tell that the developers put a lot of love and effort into it.


All in all, it held my attention as a destressor from everyday life (besides the minigames, which I wasn't good at, so they kind of stressed me out. lmao). I might return and play the DLC sometime. I don't think I'm invested enough to collect all of the achievements.

So, I managed to finish this game it was really good. I got into it after a YouTuber I follow played the demo of its sequel, and then I played that demo, and then the demo of this game. I bought this game yesterday (as of this review) but I managed to finish it today.
It's essentially a sort-of story-focused puzzle/detective game where you collect clues by snooping around people's Internet profiles. The gameplay was fun, the occasional gameplay shifts were fun too. Though some of the puzzles are rather difficult to solve without a guide.
It's sort of styled like Ace Attorney where there are 5 "cases" you have to solve. They are all quite interesting. The characters that appear in multiple stories are the most memorable imo, though a character from the last chapter is especially memorable.
I'll get the DLC some other time. In the meantime, I'll achievement hunt when I can.
The translation can be somewhat iffy, and it's very noticeable when a voice actor veers away from the script, but it doesn't harm the gameplay experience at all.
