reviewed Project RyMe

At times this felt a lot like Hacknet, which I really liked. There's quite a lot of putting together breadcrumbs and stringing together chains of information to lead you farther in the story.
I would say I didn't particularly enjoy any of the mini games sprinkled throughout. They all went longer than I wanted and my laptop couldn't handle the perf very well, so they felt slow and clunky. I get why they're there, and they benefit the story, but I would have changed my review up to about 4.5 stars if there was an option to skip to the end of the minigame each time.
I really liked the variety of characters in the group chat. Each one had a distinctive personality, lovingly crafted and authentically imbued by the creator. I recognize every one of those archetypes from my years on the internet. I gotta say I'm either Izanami or Caleb.
To sum it up, I really liked the writing and story, all of it. I liked the hacks you have to employ. It made me feel cool. Unique and awesome game.
