This game makes me so anxious by all the noises and the stress of looking through the websites. Definitely recommended to those who are very patient, and are willing to get jump scared a few times (by either a death or *interesting* content found on the web pages.) Despite all that, I think it's a fun game! This is my first review, so please be nice! Or not

The biggest threat in this game is copying and pasting. Seriously, do not trust the in game copy paste. When you're ready for the Noir tunnel, paste the codes into a text file on your IRL PC. Then paste back into the in game PC. I can't believe I almost gave up a 4 hour run when the game was just adding invisible characters between them.

There're almost no deep/dark web games for some reason so this one definitely gives you unique horror experience and it's clearly inspired by the real dark web with its absolutely screwed up websites. The main objective of the game seems really interesting and the process is very addictive even though it can be pretty exhausting at some points 'cause of permadeath and some bad designed elements. However, this game is a rage game, it's obviously not for everyone, and beating it is questionable 'cause I swear this is the hardest game I have ever played. It requires perfect hearing, reaction, memory, attention, accuracy, focus, and also deep knowledge of the game, multitasking, time optimization, strategy, patience, exploring, analysis. I have never seen such a hostile and unforgiving game to a player, you can die even if you simply blink at wrong moment then you have to start from scratch all over again. This game is also extremely complicated and full of surprises, it tells you almost nothing, that's why reading a wiki after a whole bunch of fails is inevitable 'cause sometimes you simply can't figure out what you're doing wrong and your patience is over. I started this game for a hardcore challenge reason so I'm okay with part of issues, and I cannot but note 1337 mode which is absolutely ridiculous and awful no matter how you look at it 'cause it's inhuman, tedious, bugged, almost unbeatable, you have to be an exceptional and disciplined gamer to complete it. As a good thing, this game is full of mechanics so once you beat normal mode you can play it again and enjoy chilling and trying some new things during the run. In summary, I have very mixed feelings about this game and recommend playing only normal mode if you want some next level challenge and horror experience. I cannot give the game a neutral rating but I both like and hate it.

I went into Welcome to the Game 2 thinking I was prepared. I watch horror movies, I’ve read a few creepypastas, and I can handle the occasional jump scare. Oh, how wrong I was. This game is like being stuck in a haunted internet cafe in the year 2065, and I wouldn’t want it any other way. The atmosphere is thick with dread, the kind you can almost taste (it’s not a pleasant flavor, more like “what if the internet ate you”). The hacking minigames? 10/10 for frustration. You’ll feel like a tech genius one second, and a confused potato the next. You know you’re doing something important, but all you can think is, "Please, I don’t want to get kidnapped by creepy faceless people. "Speaking of creepy faceless people, let’s talk about the AI who watches your every move like an overprotective, passive-aggressive parent. The thrill of trying not to be caught while surfing through the darkest corners of the internet is oddly exhilarating. Nothing says “fun” like trying to crack codes while an ominous figure lurks in the shadows, waiting for you to make a single mistake. That’s what I call true gaming.

gotta say, this game is past the point of being hard. it is downright unfair sometimes. but then, that was what i wanted out of the game, so it succeeded at that brilliantly. in my mind these games are the soulsborne of hacker roguelikes, and as somebody who considers himself a casual gamer at best, i sought out wttg2 specifically because i knew i would have to get good or die. i went from panicking, my hands literally shaking over every little thing when i first started, to playing with at least some level of confidence and poise. i still jump at some of the jumpscares and my heart still pounds when i make mistakes but now i can at least react to them with solutions instead of just freaking out. thanks for this awesome game full of terrible things, adam. you glorious madman
