This is great, and informative!
I feel this could be localized for wider reach

Sweet and lovely, I have enjoyed this game a lot :)
The game's retro-gaming theme induces that longing for the old simpler, carefree times, and then the story tells so much about many core aspects of good online community building. Additionally I feel that choosing an “average” young person’s perspective (rather than directly a minority’s one) should work nicely for those players who did not yet spend a lot of time to consider diversity of the people they meet online and possible personal responsibility of each community member for its well-being… If anything, I want to see the game as having a positive, hopeful message that tells us to work on creating new better spaces and care for the ones we have now, rather than just a cry of longing for the ones in the past.

Really liked exploring these spaces! A great idea to play on the idea these are more complex than people think...
[content references follow] I love how the first room/term I've found was trans, and that apparently there's a only fem room... (haven't tried walking through color-coded doors, turned around...). Also the room which allows to choose and experience pronouns is a great way to explore options and check on feelings
Love the aesthetics, love the music, love the nostalgic Web 1.0 feels, and love the writing with all the characters and community feeling! I've needed to take a short break each time a chat notification for the dad poped up... The material gets stressful (especially for things I relate to), but in the end it's all uplifting. Thanks for making the game!
