When I downloaded this, I didn't really know if there was more than one possible ending.
If turned out to be the best non-branching thing I've played on this forums.
I have lots of problems playing kinetic novels, because the writing is NEVER as good as a actual book, (
Ok, as a GOOD book. I did read actual books that are worse than some kinetic novels I've seen) and when I play,
I'm only okay with lowering my standards for the literary aspects if I'm allowed some kind of input. (
I don't know if other players feel this way, I speak for myself alone)
But this? It didn't feel linear. I was frantically doing things all over the place and it felt urgent!
I mean this. I must have spent more than an hour with this, frantically typing NUMBERS, and that was somehow fun and made me feel involved in the story.
You did a great job. Kudos to you.
The message board feel was great, petty forum posters with petty feuds and trekkies.
Have you played .Hack G.U? It's an rpg for the ps2. It's set in an MMORPG (it makes sense in context, believe me) and there's a "message board" filled with
users that comment the player character's exploits, and just basically any random topic
that suits their fancy, they post fanart, they ban trolls, etc.
I LOVED the message boards, and wished there were more ways for my character to influence things over there.
I don't mention this implying this game looks like that game (It doesn't, at all), but just because you might like to see how other minds tackled a similar idea. 
with a little bit of 
for the ending.
