This is a cool concept and I was really intrigued by the different ways to interact and find information.
Though I must say that this game was too smart for me. I really needed the hints and I’m grateful you provided them. :D

I feel like I must be missing something, but I only ever made it to the not-the-worst ending.
SPOILERS:
- After getting into deep mode, I'd constantly be put on the waitlist, no matter when I entered deep mode (and generated a profile). I thought maybe I'd try using up more authentication tries and that would change the outcome, but I got the same few generated profiles.
- I wondered if I had to find something in deep mode before the error was generated, but I didn't get enough feedback that that was necessarily the right path, and maybe I was just trying to make up a goal for myself in the puzzle - the "you failed, try again" text gave me hints to get to deep mode, which I'd already found, so I ran out of ideas there and stopped.
Still, it's very intriguing and I'm sure there's more to it from the comments below. The evolving tooltips that I DID find cranked up my curiosity and my need-to-explore reflex like crazy before I ran up against the not-the-worst ending a few times.

Midelle and the Blessings Gone WrongA lot of fun, with plenty of hidden depth. Extra points for being topical too!

By The SeaThis is great! I'm not very sure why and I only maybe only half-understood it, but it is a very creative and engaging use of ink.
