... right. So about this one..., May 10, 2026

This is going to be a very short review, simply because I find it difficult to talk about a game that seems to resist any clear understanding of what is going on. I got the main general gist of the loop, and the characters were interesting and I enjoyed the dynamic between them, though it definitely got way too confusing to follow at times. Most of the time I sort of wandered, choosing what I thought was better. Also, I thought the parallel links at the bottom with more clear defining of what each of the choices led towards was interesting but I couldn’t pin down a meaning. It got more interesting once there were no links in the text and only in the navigation bar at the bottom, which ultimately led to (Spoiler - click to show)the supposed escape from the game that the story seems to commenting on. I liked the idea, and (Spoiler - click to show)if you look at the url of the ending, it seems to be by Tundish, so I wonder if D E Haynes is Tundish, or that is simply a citation?

One note is the entire text seems like it has more padding on the left than on the right side of the box, which is a subtle but wrong feeling. (I’m certain it isn’t purposeful, so just noting.)
