Wow, what a truly enthralling experience... thank you for sharing these little fragments of your life with us. This game captures and distills many complex, hard to name, yet familiar emotions and does so in such an incredibly simple but curated way.
Despite quite literally only catching glimpses of your experience through these images, while playing I found myself brought back to small, but meaningful moments from my own life, where friendships ended quietly, or where I never quite got to know someone as well as I had hoped I would. At times I felt like I could have been looking at selections from my own desktop circa 2017. And yet, I still can't know the full story these images tell for you, but I find that's kind of the beauty of this experience; much like some of the interactions you've archived here, we often can only ever know someone through fragments, especially online.
The numerous Lain screenshots feel like no surprise at all, both because of the show's themes of identity and connection filtered through the internet, but also because this game brought back many memories for me of exploring the many fascinating SEL fan sites back in the day — many of those sites had a similar intensely personal but fragmented feel, they always made me feel as though I was looking deep into someone's inner world but without any context for what I was seeing. This game recreates that experience wonderfully.
10/10, perfect 2am deep thoughts kinda game : )
