i actually made this account just to comment because this game is so insanely good. The way the mechanics of the game and the narrative and the aesthetic all unfold and develop concurrently is perfectly executed. It's so good how the game evolves from just figuring out how to use the system, to figuring out who's who and what the house is like, to finally actually figuring out why everything is happening. I also love that the UI still has nice quality of life additions even though it's uncompromisingly stark. It made the game feel like a truly believable operating system that some weird investigator might actually use instead of being intentionally obtuse, but also still controlled the drip feed of clues and story beats at the exact right rate to keep serving me aha moments both mechanically and narratively. Anyone who has any interest whatsoever in detective games at all should play this, and especially anyone interested in knowledge gated esoteric/ergodic narrative.
There was only one confusing part of the puzzle to me when I finished up the game that maybe someone could explain. Jung'f fhccbfrq gb or gur fzbxvat tha yrnqvat lbh gb 00-qernz?
