In general, I really like this type of "read between the lines" storytelling method. You executed really well! There's also tons more you could do in this game, I feel. I knew something was up with David from the get-go and was right to stick around until the end :)

Let Mi Pet U, Hooman!I enjoyed it! As time went on I was able to get more reactions out of the person haha. Great overall concept and execution!

Insecticide: Bugs vs AliensReally cool concept, I like the idea of having to learn more and more about the person in order to be able to know what to recommend him (yk, kinda like a real algorithm)

The Reclamation (GMTK)Love the atmosphere, and the idea is clever and nicely implemented.
You can go deep with this one, I felt it has potential. Heavy on the words, but for people like me who dig it you can create a whole universe within the game, and discovering it feels great.
Nicely done!

xxKillerxx's PCGreat idea, it has a very "Emily is away" vibe to it, and I would love to see it expanded where David has more personal interactions with the people on his feed. My only negative was I felt like I ended up not liking David as I kept playing, but that might just be a taste thing.

The Final FrontierVery creative! I wasn't really sure how to interpret the feedback that I got in the bottom right, like "see you in fourth grade", but cool idea!

You are the CodeFun game! Being the algorithm is a really great take on the theme. I like how you need to figure out what David likes before you can choose the right posts.

Tether the WorldI loved this concept! And I'm very sure you had a lot of fun coming up with some of these posts haha. It's very simple and easy to grasp, and I really enjoyed messing with David. Really good experience, great work!

My Trainer is Dumb?Nice game, you nailed the feeling of being the algorithm trying to guess the user's likes. Congrats!

Iceberg CommandInteresting game, I think I got a good ending. Not sure, just a feeling of that. This game is a great short description of what social media is overall
