I was confused as to if I had any control in the hacking section, not sure if there was any gameplay past that point. The only suggestion I thought of was to maybe have the full dialogue message appear first when a button is pressed and then skip it if it is pressed again, rather than having it skip right away. I found myself naturally wanting to press a button to see the whole text so I could read it faster than the typing speed. Great job on this though!"},{"author_name":"Graydom","author_uid":"38536","time":"Aug 25, 2014 @ 4:26am","epoch":1408940460,"text":"Someone is tracing me from the middle of the ocean.
