A very interesting and unique game.

The premise is a little silly, since it kind of depends on characters frequently posting their email passwords on social media... and the idea that the boss doesn't want to be called "boss" out loud, but does want to be called by his full name... but I guess that was all part of the trap. Also, the idea that Distant Lurker would find out a rich guy's BANK ACCOUNT password, and then use that to access their email instead, is very funny.

I liked the artwork but the UI was a little tough to look at.

This was lots of fun to run through!

Thanks for the feedback, I guess the context was a little odd since I'm not a particularly good storywriter :P The amount of unexplainable irony in this game is incredible heh

When you mentioned that the UI was a little tough to look at, did you mean the text (size or font) or the design of it (like colour and arrangement) or something else?

Glad you enjoyed it though :)

The fonts were fine, but the colors were a bit too saturated for me, and some of the features were a bit confusing which didn't help (like check mark to start a new conversation, versus connect to repeat an old conversation)

Ah I see. I tried to pick suitable color palettes from online resources but I'll keep that in mind.

The checkmark is used to enter a new link, (in which pressing enter works too) while pressing connect is connecting to the same link which would cycle through to old and new conversations.

I guesss I could have simply have had the connect button everything would be simpler. :P

The feedback was really useful, thanks :D
