TLDR; MIXED FEELINGS. Secret word: Deserving Not my least favorite, yet not quite as memorable as the first game and chamber. Main issue has been pointed out before: the font. I think it is difficult for most and illegible to some. I also find that its design makes the text less creepy- maybe it reminds me too much of old creepypasta images and stories. While I did like the 'jumpscare attempt' and little horror interactions, I do think the game goes a bit too far in the "meta" comments. This happens in the sequel, too. Immersion is broken when the game asks you things such as "Would you believe me if I told you I can see you?".. I also think by attempting to heighten the tension and discomfort felt in the first title, a fine line was crossed. Sometimes, too much provocation fails to inspire the reader. There were moments in which I stared at the screen and felt a certain disbelief at how edgy and taboo some of the questions attempted to be. I say attempted because it really is more confusing than disturbing: once again, immersion is broken by thoughts such as "How is this related to my psyche? Why would the game ask this? That's just gross, no?" Anyhow, I still did enjoy answering the questions. Some of them did make me ponder and I did enjoy the reflections about time and how we spend it. It's worth checking out as it helps build the bigger picture for later games. The advice given is nice and the community built around the game helps it flourish.

Secret Word: Deserving Unsurprisingly, I wandered back here from Markiplier's channel, and it was still fun to do even after watching him answer most of the same questions that I did (there's a chance they change depending on your answers but I'm not about to cross reference an hour long video). These small doses of truth you get at the end are kind of like tarot cards to me, their earlier description about the game telling you things you already knew is accurate, but in the good sense. Tarot is about kicking your subconscious into making the decisions it already knows it wants to make (one of the reasons they're always better set up as a self-read then getting someone else to do it, the irony of how the game works is not lost on me), and this game helps you be honest with yourself. Lie about your answers, you're only hurting yourself by not getting the truth. Step into a cave and finding only silence doesn't make it the cave's fault when you didn't yell for an echo. Take a chance to know yourself, I'm sure you'll get along swimmingly.

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
