Thanks again for playing - we knew it'd take a lot of patience to fully experience this game for anyone compelled to dig into it. Even with some of the quality of life improvements you suggested, it'd still be quite a lot of reading and puzzling so your efforts are appreciated!

It's a unique title, and we'd love to revisit it some day in the form of a spiritual successor if not a direct sequel.

I think there's still a lot of potential in the realm of stories-happening-inside-computers-inside-your-computer. I do have a couple of other recommendations for those, if you're interested:

- Location Withheld, by Bryce Bucher

- DEAD LETTER DEPT., by Mike Monroe/Belief Engine

Hi again! I tried both of those recommendations and I just wanted to say you definitely outdid them

For Location Withheld I made the error of playing the demake. While it certainly has a little more charm, it definitely lost appeal in the transformation, as there's less interaction with the environment.

As for Dead Letter Dept, it was more of a job than a game, lol. It kinda dragged on too long doing that dull chore, even for a demo.

I also played the 2000 Navidson lane and it really got me at the end...

I really found nothing like The Gladdening Chamber where you have to parse through lots of information and filter the clues to find a solution. I guess I'll keep looking :)

This time I'm coming to you with a recommendation of my own.

Have you played Stories Untold? The recent announcement of Silent Hill Townfall from team No Code reminded me of Stories Untold, a game they made some years ago.

I haven't played their other game, Observation, yet, but Stories Untold is very much in the vein of the games we've been discussing, and it is pretty good I would say.
