I liked the intranet entries and filing mechanics. I found the writing level to be very advanced so sometimes hard to follow, but very poignant. I still need to finish the game though probably drawing myself a  map along the way. 

I wanted to ask about your background (probably some kind of programming if you use twine and something literary?) and what other text based games you could recommend, out of curiosity. We worked on a text based game too and would like your feedback on it :D it is pretty short and from a writing perspective not that "sophisticated"  I'd say. Would love to hear if you have tipps on writing for our game and in general. Good job!

Thank you so much for your detailed feedback! My writing could… probably use a little editing. Left to my own devices I love (and overuse) my commas and run-on sentences.

I don’t really have a background in coding or writing! I started using twine as kind of a side thing while doing a visual art degree, and quickly fell in love with it. I’ve always loved complicated fiction, so I figured if I was going to make games it’d have be text games!

Some text-based games that have really inspired me: Digital: A Love Story (love the interface for this!), 1893: A World’s Fair Adventure (insanely detailed), The Fire Tower (gorgeous location descriptions) and Reagan Library (eerie, melancholy, sadly a bit unplayable on modern computers).

Will leave a review on Parasite shortly, but I really enjoyed it!
