Alright where to start with this, sooooooooo I guess let's go over the negatives first, since it's practically free and made in litmited time I will go softer. 

Major Problems:

1. It's far too easy to close the tabs, all you have to do is close the main one and they all disappear. It doesn't help that you get a colossal amount of time to react once you hear the walking sound.

2. Since there's no sense of urgency, being the fact there's no time limit you aren't punished by anything. You could've created a scenario where she's about to be deleted or something else in about ten minutes. Making it so that every time you have to wait for the person checking on you to leave or complete a task, it adds tension and worry about whether you can get your memories back before deletion

3. Having the person or employee checking up on you to change his pace, perhaps sometimes he could check your screen faster, needing a fast reaction time. But of course, then it might make it more annoying idk.

Minor Problems:

1.  The console could've been used better, halfway I was typing in stuff I saw that I thought would be cool. Such as the infamous: Plan C, which you unlock and learn later on, perhaps adding a separate inbox where you can type code words in, such as Turtle or even the name of the person doing the logs where if you typed it in you could've gained more information. Like a lorebook. 

2. There are some cool logs to read, unfortunately, I learned early on that the only parts that matter are the highlighted pink ones. This made me not read and skip the others, I went back during a second playthrough and read some, interesting but maybe this could've been done differently. 

3. Lackluster ending, I guess you ran out of time, no epilogue or anything, I assume that Vedal transferred Neuro back home, but considering "Plan C" which from my interpretation they took her forcefully, makes this ending a little bit more bittersweet and open-ended. Cause I assume the company willing to go those lengths will try to get Neuro back, will Vedal and his friends be on the run? Will it turn into an action movie? Questions questions, uh I'm just rambling now.

4. So this is more nitpicky, or maybe my game is bugged out. But when I got to the part where I needed to type into the console the walking mechanic just stopped. This feels... Weird, why would it stop now? The tasks are still happening, and I know why. Because it resets once you exit the console, but you can do tasks while typing into the console. But you would have to exit out to not be caught which would reset the console, making it practically impossible. Just a small nitpick, Idk.

Positives:

1. I like all the art and the atmosphere, well done, clear, and conceived.

2. I love the premise of this game, and obviously it's inspired by certain events *Wink Wink Nudge Nudge* it creates a vibe of bittersweetness.

3. As per usual the storytelling is good, just wished you got more time to read logs, you slowly uncovered events and more, making me guess and come up with headcannons on certain things.

4. The game runs smoothly with no problems, and no bugs from what I've seen.

5. I like the music, hehehehehe

6. Actually required a decent amount of brain power, still easy though. 

Alright, we came to the end of my review for this game. As Usaken I shall dub the game with a 5/10 score, which means it's "decent". It set out to do its premise and I think it did it well obviously if given more time I think the game would be a point higher. Buuuuut since the game is free and I'm biased being a fanfic author myself and in the discord. I shall give the game a 6/10, which means it's "good" in my book. Soooooo YAYA!!!!
