I very much enjoyed the walkthrough narrator verbiage where you have to be assured the tasks you're performing are vital towards your success in the game ("Trust me, you're gonna wants this later on..."). Definitely takes me back to those old FAQs!

I like the personal additions and the creative ideas for this game - unique stats like "Marytydom" and "Serendipity" are interesting in a Disco Elysium kind of way to me, and the fact that the effect of some stats are unknown adds to the intrigue.

thank you all so much for commenting. I really like writing so it's nice that someone else likes my writing.

I'm kind of surprised that this is the only entry which took a horror approach -- it feels like there's a lot of potential there! But I like the subtlety of how you approached it by scattering strangely abstract touches like "a weird light beam that cuts through the clouds" throughout an otherwise pretty straightforward, even somewhat irreverent, description of a game. If anything, the weird text that appears seems kind of out-of-place because it's so abrupt -- I think you could have written an even more effective atmosphere without!

Also, I'll second kilowatt64's point: I love unusual stats in RPGs.
