Here I am thinking "oh this gives off Stanley Parable vibes" and I get a Stanley Parable rip-off joke in-game.
I loved it, nice self contained experience, and I was genuinely amused by the jokes.
The VA was top notch.
And knowing that the shader receptacle is an actual thing that does something and not just a meme makes it even funnier.
If I had to criticize anything its the weird shift → crouch binding, my muscle memory kept making me crouch when I wanted to move quicker.
If that was intentional then, hats off to you, you got me ahaha.
