A new experimental type of virtual reality has begun development, and you could be a potential tester. Do you have what it takes? Do you want it badly enough?
Do you want to experience true escapism?

bitsy games can sometimes struggle to really Pull Me In emotionally but the writing here was so beautiful that i was more invested than anything ..... got both endings and both made me EXTREMELY emotional. amazing Amazing lil game, net captures both the sympathetic and the uglier parts of depression so well
thank you for playing <3 I appreciate the kind words
made an itch.io account specifically to leave a comment here. i was totally chill for the whole game and then that last bit with maury made me IMMEDIATELY leave that building. this robot cares about me and wants me to live and i could not ake myself continue knowing that. should not have played this near midnight but. i think i got the proper experience.
thank you for making this.
thank YOU for playing! I’m touched it left enough of an impact on you to make you want to leave a comment :,)
thank you maury

A simple and thought provoking story. I empathised with Net, and I liked the AI's characterisation, too. This game is very non-judgemental about people in this situation, and I think we need to see more of that.
thank you so much. I'm very happy you could find something meaningful in this little game :-)
