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!
