• Great atmosphere, art and music. The gradual corruption of the computer is very cool. Hope to see this one expanded in future!
• Immediate 10/10 vibes dropping into the game and hitting that gorgeous surrealist animation study environment. Made me excited to play. Struggled a bit to get into the desktop (I think I kept trying to push all the buttons). The OS simulation was very nice, real smooth, the functioning music player was a great touch and I was so impressed by the quality and composition of all the tracks. I of course lmao’d at sefira2 and the DWS ARG folder and a bunch of other things. I noted how powerful the world-building and character-building of having a folder like “Thesis Outline” was, as well as desktop images like itachi.png saved. WebAngel was fantastically done and I confess sent me into an ARG ratboss death spiral for a bit as I tried to figure out if it contained some kind of code or cipher. Read it forwards and backwards, read the first letters of each word forwards and back, and the last, etc. Searched the computer for a key to the cipher. Finally had to ask my fellow judges if I was being an idiot and asked them to help me. I tried/considered a few different puzzle solutions which had me very engaged - do I have to drag a particular file into the trash (mouth is waste)? Do I have to play a certain song in order to view a certain image? What’s the connection? Loved the progressive strangeifying of the environment sprite. Beautiful touches everywhere. Huge props to the artist - really fresh feeling style that I was enamoured with. When the “ticking” SFX came in I nearly jumped (high praise), and it was a great little horror scare and sense of deepening to end the experience. Y’all did great and I can’t wait to see more.
• I really loved the art, and the vibes were great - I see some cool potential here. I'll be keeping an eye out for any updates.
