Impressively complete and great worldbuilding. Somehow, as well, the perfect shade of green.

I found the surrealist humour of this narrative rather enjoyable. However, I did run into a big at one point where at the store it prevents progress due to no more content in the loop. I had to restart the story at that point.

Final BattleYak butter and ginseng soda...
I enjoyed the surreal happenings, but suddenly there was a game objective(?) and I started "losing" – which (for me) seemed contrary to the set-up. It went from "anything will happen and it will be surprising and arbitrary..." to "figure out this very specific moon-logic puzzle or you will die and lose your inventory..."
- the inventory was persistent (even insistent) when I had no THINGS (maybe should skip that part of the loop)
- When I clicked on "Self" in the Jung book, the webpage crashed… or maybe I had an existential crisis.

The Vanishing HitchhikerI was a Jungian, and then I found the Jung book… I think it was in the contents page, with many definitions. I clicked several and got standard definitions, but when I clicked "self" the webpage shot to the top (showed the beginning of the story) and I couldn't scroll down - sort of like the page was reloading, but no error… I had to reload the webpage. If there is no unusual Ink there, it must have been a web glitch? I will try another round later, see if I can hit it again.
