life is beautiful

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ i loved this haha. maybe one of my favourite uses of mechanical gameplay in recent years, the keyboard exclusive format does so much for immersion and tactile gamefeel. ♥♥♥♥ had me sweating a bit. doing a hacking game that isnt some bs minigame thing and actually digging through command lines and file systems is really cool to see and super gratifying to crack. i get if youre like some uber-nerd that might not be all that out there but uh, i'm not that, so i thought it was dope. incredible rise of tension towards the end, the rapid fire typing segments are such a great idea to channel the pc's emotions as well as manually escalate the scenario without doing like, press x to kill yourself or whatever. adore the va performances and found footage style at the end. nasty and cool. thanks mike
