i dont feel good about saying much on this game bc so few people have played it and i had the benefit of going in nearly 100% blind, and while there are things about it that are incredible that i think no other game has done (narratively and mechanically), and while the writing at its best is incredibly touching and whip-smart, its is a fucking mess and nearly completely undermines itself by the time its finished.
felt like a fucking genius when i guessed first try that i had to increase the last digit of the password by 1 but let me tell you the last thing "click through everything in order until you find the thing that progresses the story and then rinse and repeat" adventure game design needed was having to input up to three different numerical strings between each attempt. taking the dyslexia L once again
