"Me when the hole is hungry" aside from all the other great things about this game, the way people speak/text is just so natural, while also being so distinct between characters also the custom emojis that we don't get to see but *do* get to see the name of?? genius touch

Not just a surprisingly well-implemented gameplay gimmick, but a devastatingly accurate picture of the various types of jackasses that work in tech.

Saw that powerpak made a video on it, dropped everything to play the game first, enjoyed everything about it and now I'm back to the video as I write this. Found the characters to also be very relatable, especially Ella and my own experiences as a transwoman Thank you very much for the experience <3

Extremely gripping. It paints such a clear picture of it's little world that by the end I wasn't even really reading the words, but was just picturing the environment around me.
