I did not expect this one to hit so hard.
I'm getting old. Beats the alternative, but I have to live with that. And when I picked up this game, I did not know how many memories of staying up all Friday night on AOL would flood back to me. Hours spent in IRC, browsing strange websites made stranger by the ignorance of youth.
So, nostalgia.
One could have fun simply scrolling through the pages, listening to the strange music, and finding all the little quirks hidden throughout this world.
But they gave goals, so I hyper-focused on those.
And that was part of my problem with the gameplay of this game. It was a little too much like the old days. So when I had to find something to progress, there were more times than I would have liked where it was annoying to do so. This is a fake history. Make adjustments for the sake of the gameplay. Please.
Which might have annoyed some folks or, most likely, wasn't what the dev wanted to do. So the gameplay soured for me a bit here and there, but, as the kids say, the vibes. The vibes really made this one.
