loved playing this game. It's got a fantastic sense of humor. The art style is unique and appealing, you can click all the pretty green things, there's labcoats and big round glasses. The character designs are FANTASTIC. I love the different expressions, but molly's are probably my favourite. :p

(minor spoilers below)


The pov character looks very much like us and has a whole lot in common in terms of system dynamics, nearly 1 to 1 in fact. (minus the imperialist schtick) It was fun being put in a situation and seeing where different parts of us taking the lead would guide the story. I'm interested in what an EM ending would look like, but I'm not too  certain she has much of a presence outside of moderating the system, so maybe that wouldnt fit. The way the endings are shown, and the different things you learn through the different playthroughs is done well, and makes replaying the game feel much more interesting.

The parts with being bullied as molly were really hot. I'm very into being hypnotized, but i think i read this in too distracting of an environment to be tranced by the hypnosis parts of the story.

We joked about the game making us more plural, but it really did help us be more conscious about making choices regarding how we choose to respond or speak as a system. It helped us recognize some of the ways our system could operate more equitably, and understand some of worse ways things have gone internally in the past. We think it made us better at consciously choosing who we are, which is something we've never been able to do much before.

Thank you, from all of us, for making this.
