Okay, this is my favorite game in this entire jam so far, and I've played almost all of them.

It's hard to overstate what I felt when I got into it and realized what the game would be, when I saw the fidelity to what the web was like back then, and what the people were like too, drama and everything. God, the character interviews/impressions of other characters, the emojis, the way of speaking... I'd describe it as taking psychic damage but in the best way possible. You have no idea the feeling of painful nostalgia that struck me while playing this. 

In a way it makes me laugh at the silliness we had back then, but it also makes me sad at what the web became, and how simple and nice things were back then, even if we were too young and dumb to realize. 

Besides that, this game and the site itself is so... well made. Everything strikes a chod with my memories of back then, and the story of the "game" inside the game and the people who worked on it is so wonderfully presented, especially in that 'News' page. I found myself scrolling down with actual dread.

Honestly, kudos. This is one of my favorite pieces of storytelling I've seen on Itch.io yet, and I'll make sure to follow you and recommend this game to the people I know, because it deserves to be played by us who were around the web back then. Congrats!!!!

what an unbelievably sweet comment!!!!!! Thank you for taking the time to post it!!!!!!! 

this was my first time doing neocities, im so happy you think it looks good!!! Honestly, like i said on another comment, i actually was not really part of any online community back then so im thrilled that my vibes-based recreation-speculation hit the bullseye. Im really happy i was able to create something that rings true for the people who lived it!!!! It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.... 

Im glad i inspired dread in you with the news page lol. There were definitely parts that made me sad to write, like... THEY HAD THE BEST OF INTENTIONS WAAHHH.... THEY WERE FRIENDS ONCE.....HOW DID THEY LOSE THEIR WAYYYYY.....WAHH...

Again, thank you so much!!! I cant even fully communicate how touched i am by this comment!!!!! ;;;w;;;;
