I remember the days of BBS on my Amiga with Zyxel modem back then. I think you captured the vibe perfectly. Great storytelling. GFX look even better on real Hardware imho. In your case, I need not say anything about the sound and music. Splendid as always. Sometimes your adventure felt like a real "desktop movie" . Nice arrangements with authentic looks. I wonder if younger generations could also appreciate all the details.

I played it on an ogGBC with EZcard and no issues so far. I wish you much success in the comp.

thank you so much for taking the time to play it. I really wanted it to be accessible for people who didn’t experience BBS era but also filled with nostalgia for those who did. I’m very glad you enjoyed it.
