So glad someone notice what we did with the theme! Yes indeed we wanted to make player challenge the idea of are they really not alone. In someway this can draws parallel to how social media sells themselves as connecting the world but people that are "connected" can still feel alone and lonely in the physical world. Or in short: a person in a crowd can still feel alone. Also appreciate it a lot that you noticing all the subtle visual story telling too!
Anyways, glad you enjoy the game and thank you so much for the feedback!
