just made my account so i could post a review, but i've already played maybe ten times now. nearly every day since i downloaded it. things i hear irl make me think of the server members. seekL has taken over my life.
on a more serious note, this was one of my very first itch.io games and i'm so glad i came across it.
writing code to dig through tables of data for progression is a lot of fun, and personally added just enough of a challenge for me (someone that knows near nothing about programming). add on top of that a cast of completely anonymous yet very unique characters, they all play into creating highly entertaining conversations and lots of memorable moments.
regarding the interactions with odxny, i felt that the progression goes pretty smoothly. while the romantic aspects are a bit ambiguous, i don't think that's a bad thing- i enjoyed the focus being put on learning who they are as a person. a lot of the calls involve simple conversation or banter, but that's more than enough to help you see them as someone more than just a username on a screen. (although i'd really love to know even more about them. and the other hackers. ougghh.)
also, the bgm is awesome (i'm constantly streaming it), and the va did an amazing job voicing odxny! highly recommend finishing all three endings to get the bonus menu. it'll be very worth your time.
seekL is probably going to stick with me for a long while. it's fairly short and not overly complex, but something about it really clicked with me. i'm excited to start playing through the creators' other projects, but i think i'll end up coming back at least a few more times— this game now has a special place in my heart. :)
