Very cute, very fun, very satisfying!

I really enjoyed the unique format of unlocking information - and the story the game told really touched my heart. Loved playing this.

So fun, gave me goosebumps!

Typing out sequence of events in rot13 because it's still confusing:

In my initial playthrough I typed Unknown for the last identifier of who Stephen was, because I thought the option existed for a reason. Even though the arm injuries were suspicious, the rules were confusing until I wrote them down. They're still confusing ngl! I played through again to test my new theory and WOW, chills! Loved this game!

Very fun, VERY hard, I started over from the beginning two times because I kept jumbling together info in my notes and thoroughly confusing myself, and on my third playthrough I finally found the last two sites I needed for everything to make sense - Fgnpv'f naq Qjnva'f!

I enjoyed this so much! Going through glitchy half-dead web pages and feeling such glee when a link actually worked! So much fun! And it was very satisfying to put clues together and reach conclusions. The ending made me smile, I'd suspected it early on, after ernqvat gur zrffntr ba Tvey Qrif Havgrq, and it was great to see it also be connected to why we wanted to find the game. Looking forward to playing more of your games!
