This is nicely written. The text that you mouse over to reveal more doesn't feel very intuitive, but I really liked the text you could click to cycle through different options. Maybe have more of the story be revealed through clickable elements so that the player/reader has more agency and can go at their own pace.

I love the humor. I included it in my Spring Cleaning Twine Jam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

I had a lot of fun playing through your game! The narrator has a distinct, interesting voice, and a lot of the game was very funny (and vaguely depressing, when you think deeply about the social circumstances you were commenting on). I do feel that gets a bit absurd/characters are overly caricatured at times, but I also understand that this is satire and probably a feature of the story.

In terms of game mechanics, I'm not a big fan of the mouse-over text. I feel that it's way too easy for me to accidentally open something and it breaks immersion/the text that I was reading. Also, there are segments where you had to wait for text to appear, which is unintuitive at first. This is just personal opinion, as always. 

A few small nitpicky things: 

- You have a lot of extra line breaks (or lacking line breaks) in the game. This is a problem I encountered a lot, and it's annoying to resolve, so I understand not wanting to deal with it.  

- A couple of typos, nothing serious.

Thank you for your submission~ it was a pleasure to play this game!
