A truly excellent little sci-fi horror story with world-building so compelling and nuanced it feels like it could be real.The atmosphere is strong with this one, the email pop-ups and soundtrack giving a very technological vibe that fits perfectly with a bio-horror story. The flow of panels is mostly intuitive and communicates the story very effectively, though there were a couple of times I had to backtrack to figure out what I had missed.
My one minor nitpick is that the ending feels a bit abrupt; the pacing of multiple panels come at you all at once gives the feeling that we're ramping up to a climax, only for it to suddenly roll credits. I wonder if placing the montage before the final message from the blog "the exchange" and making that the ending would have been more effective pacing-wise.
That's a small thing in the face of what an absolutely excellent game this is. A rich world tightly knit together by increasingly horrifying concepts. This isn't one to play before you go to sleep, but if you can handle it, definitely give 20-ish minutes of your time to read through this amazing horror story!
