Good one. Could not finish it, because I'm not patient enough for these types of games, but it looks really cool :smile:

Among all of the "stuck in a social network loop" games I've seen so far, this one is one of the most creative, the unexpected turn got me (especially since I did not read the descrition, huh).
Nicely done!

And my usual respect for the web wersion, only way you could play some games on linux.

I got the first clue because of your description but I couldn't figure out the rest... Maybe make the clue a bit more obvious would help noob like me understand a little more :). The idea was good, made me think of a movie a saw recently about social media. Graphics looked awesome. Good job!

Game is most likely unintentionally hard, first clue in description is obvious, later there seems to be no clues at all, or they are way too cryptic to understand.

Graphics are really good looking and idea seems interesting.

Yeah couldn't figure it out too. Loved the graphics and the whole concept. Maybe try hinting towards the clues in some clever wa?

You set a really good atmosphere that caught my interest quickly (Where am I blobbing from? Why am I in this tiny room with Blobber propaganda all over it?), but I unfortunately couldn't find a single clue after the initial cat gif. I'm not sure if I was missing something obvious, but I read all the posts, tried clicking on everything, etc, but nothing stood out to me as being any different than the rest of the posts/images. :(

You've made a really innovative game with great atmosphere, but I just didn't know how to get into it.

The mood you created was really good, it reminds me games like SIMULACRA. That was very cool. Anyway the puzzle are too difficult and there are no help to proceed into the game. Anyway, good job!

I also wasn't able to find all the clues. You should post a walkthrough so we can see the ending. I really liked the game.
