April 2025
After playing the first and now second games in the Test series, there is a definite ramp-up which manifests in several unexpected ways. It's clear that the answers from this game are referring back to those from the first. While that game makes sure to ask if the player has first experienced the original game, it doesn't make mention that any files are being imported, but I suspect the answers from the first title are being brought into the analysis of the second. This game is very clever, and though simplistic in style (despite that I feel there is a lot that I'm missing out on), is surprisingly engaging. There were times while playing, that the lines between the game and my reality, sitting here at home, began to blur; to peek under the unassuming cover of the game, leads one to peek under the cover of our own mind, and indeed, our claimed 'flesh & bone' material existence. The eerie environment of the first game's room screen, and the character interactions of Fate, hint at a deeper lore that may be difficult, even impossible to breach. This is a very unique game, thanks to the dev team for a thought-provoking gaming experience, and I'm looking forward to the conclusion of the trilogy that I hope to play this evening. Much love. Cheers! (Edited briefly after uploading, to add something that I forgot to mention: the 'blanket statement' that began the final summary, was deeply touching, and the poetry of the words given by Fate, by the devs, moved me greatly. Thank you for that. It was something I desperately needed to hear.) The Secret Word given, is 'Grateful'.

I just re-took the first test and was reminded how much I loved it. It was also interesting to see how some of my answers had changed. My secret word for this one is "Survivor" I look forward to completing the trilogy soon and trying out some other games by you guys. I love how you read every comment and it shows how much care you guys have about making this experience the best it can be. I just want you all to know that I really do think you've changed my life, my way of thinking and going about it anyway. Seriously, everyone who worked on these games, thank you. I owe you all so, so much. Once again, thank you all.

I would like the option to save the feedback and the closing thoughts locally, even in a .txt file. I've been writing it down but it takes a lot of time, and I'm worried I may end us losing my notes. Your secret word is: Trust

Both games I have played so far have ended surprisingly wholesomely. It's really great how the developers build up to this, making it feel deeply personalised; then utilising Barnum statements to make it feel like it knows you. However if you see through the act, it becomes about as personal as a BuzzFeed "Which Disney princess are you?" quiz. A good bit of fun, but doesn't live up to "unlock secrets to discover how your life can change drastically with just a few, slight modifications"
