I CANNOT RECCOMEND THIS GAME ENOUGH!!
★★★★★ / ★★★★★
(my thoughts + tips below)
if not for the puzzle aspect, FOR THE LORE!
this game took me about 3-4 hours (i did not skip ANY lore and I read through every document a few times. lore skipping will probably result in 45min~2hrs of playtime)
i cannot believe that such an amazing game was made in such a short amount of time. the dev team did absolutely wonderful and i hope you guys continue to make more wonderful little games like this!
some small tips to help you: (these aren't spoilers, they will just make the game a little easier!)
- under preferences in settings, check 'show undiscovered counts in the archive.' it'll show you how many documents you have undiscovered that you can find by clicking on the words in THAT document! it also will tell you exactly what words they are if you hover over the little number.
- the documents in the archive tab are in chronological order! sorted oldest to newest.
- THE NOTES TAB IS YOUR BEST FRIEND! i jotted down what i thought words meant (using context & the words surrounding it) and it helped me SO MUCH!
(keep scrolling to see my interpretation of the words! while some of them may not be accurate, it helped me a ton!)
!! SEMI-SPOILERS AHEAD !!
