PEAK GAMING! I honestly love games like this that incorporate a UI like a phone or a computer, so it set up to a great start just because of that. The plot was intriguing and the minigames were fun as well! I got a bit raged out on the last ones though lol but they were managable. There is a spin mechanic which is really different from the rest we've seen, but it's there.

My only complaint, and to be honest if it wasn't because of this this would have turned out to be one of my favorite games for sure, was the ending...
I'm a real sucker for story games, and you got me hooked up to the story with reading the files, the logs and all that, and the ending was really underwhelming for me, sadly. That said, it was really great game overall, and would love to see it continued!

tysm!!! and sorry about the ending seeming unsatisfying, i can't do anything to change your perception on it but i am gonna try to explain my thought process as it was intentional! basically throughout the entire game its being built up that like this is august's computer, something happened to him, you're playing as parker investigating the computer, you learn about their relationship, something is trying to stop you, yadda yadda. from your perspective, you're helping parker find closure, you're searching desperately for an answer that could ease his grief. while from the anomalys perspective (hopefully you read that massive boring school paper), it being a manifestation of nostalgia, its desperately trying to protect the last pocket of august's legacy untouched by his disappearance. neither side is technically in the right or wrong, but both sides represent unhealthy ways of dealing with grief. so when you get to the ultimate file simply titled "KEEP",  having it actually contain an answer to what happened to august or something that would be worth preserving would go against the entire message i was trying to make. anyways sorry this got a little incoherent, i tend to ramble but still, ty for playing my game and im glad you enjoyed!

oooh, I see that you were going for more of a metaphoric explanation, it seems. I unfortunately didn't really knew much of the lore tbh. I learned that there was a disappearance after playing it when I read the description in the page as it is not much explained, I think, in the game. (There is only the text of like "oh, have my computer, this is the password" but that's about it). And I just kinda jumped into the game, so I probably missed that.

Since that was your goal, maybe it would have helped (at least from my perspective) making it more obvious for ppl like me who didn't read the description lol. But cool idea nonetheless!
