I really enjoyed playing this. I did end up needing the hint site that was linked a few times because some logical connectors weren't quite intuitive to me. But that's a me thing and not a game thing.
My one piece of minor criticism [rot13]:

(no spoilers here) INCREDIBLE GAME!!! such a nice way to use my brain finally. it was a bit frustrating at times and there were moments where i was like "where the hint button :((" but y'know what i'm glad that there wasn't a hint button and i'm glad that i kept going. proud to say i figured out 97/98 files on my own! i say that it was frustrating but tbh if it were any less difficult it probably wouldn't have been this satisfying to complete! thank u for making this game i love u <3
Fantastic game! I think my favourite part was the way it played with mystery tropes to lead you in the wrong direction (ROT13):

This was great. I found all the scenes on my own, but not the final message or 'credits.' Not sure how we're supposed to find those. Also didn't understand how to input letters into hangman, needed a hint for that. I really liked the story, it was spooky and awful watching it unfold once you start to get it. Especially when you realize what's going to happen as a result.
The game can be a little confusing at first, but once you get the hang of it, its really easy! If you get stuck, here's the link to a walkthrough that I found buried in the comments :p
We played about two hours of this game at the Seattle / Tacoma IF meetup for May and had a great time with it! I'm looking forward to getting back into it and solving the mystery.

is there supposed to be audio?
No, you're supposed to imagine it.
This game was amazing. I really enjoyed the gameplay and the story. Please make another one similar to this lol xD
