I don't have the words. This was, without doubt, the BEST game I have ever played on this site in many years of being here. I genuinely cannot put into words what an experience this was. I came into it expecting a fun little spam filter simulator with some comedy, and god were those expectations blown out of the water.

The entire concept of the nous, the plot, everything was absolutely masterfully crafted. Never in my LIFE have I been this engaged and emotionally invested in a game. I absolutely adore the characters, they're incredibly well fleshed out and the environment is so palpable it's like I'm there. It took me several sessions of real life days to finish it and I do not regret it for a SECOND. 

Not to mention the amount of foreshadowing was insane- it just kept going back to previous emails and I kept having that lightbulb moment of 'Wait what about that email earlier!' The sheer relevance of so many emails initially presented as just throwaway stuff for game content was incredible. And oh my GOD that moment with the paypiper made my heart drop to my stomach???? (And then realised the piper poem foreshadowed it oh my god?????????!?!)

Honestly just so much realistic progression of the plot was such a breath of fresh air. So often in games or movies you can tell when a goal is a dead end or is 'too easy' to just work. I never got that feeling here, every new development came as a welcome and invigorating surprise. It's the most fun I've had on this site...pretty much ever!!!

I wish I could give this a higher rating than just 5 because I'm honest to god blown away by this. This is genuinely an experience I'll never forget. I tip my hat to you with a great fervour, for you are insanely skilled :D
