Super cool! Very nice experience!
The game did a good job setting the scene before letting things loose, which I appreciated. It was pretty obvious that something was up, and letting the anticipation build while being given the opportunity to look around was interesting.
I just replayed Blood Trail before this, and can sort of see how one thing may have lead to another, at least in a Vague sense.
Right now, the main thing I'm wondering about is what was up with how the knife ended up where it did. Hallucination? Gaslighting? Or... Hmmm...
I'll probably play this again later to check a couple of things I may have missed. It seemed like there may have been a couple of other options available(I gave Pholus three snacks, but didn't find an admin passwords that I know of, or find a use for the medkit). Also, I might take a crack at decoding that last binary message at the end.
Thank you so much for the work you've done for this setting, eagerly looking forward to where you might be taking things!
