I think this is just a game advertisment.
Maybe it's somewhat promotional, but there's a meaningful and interesting story here. What do you want? For-profit stuff can never show up on Hacker News?

#12I played through this last night and it was interesting, surprising, weird, and very artistically and technically competent. I think it's the most interesting game I've seen this year, and I play a lot of games. The only thing that was slightly disappointing was that it's short, which I mitigated by playing it through twice.

Of course not. But it's extremely clear to me that the primary focus of the article is promoting the game, and the story is secondary. After having seen a lot of these articles, it becomes easier to distinguish the real story ones from the "ad" ones. And thats why they do it, its effective, so many people can't tell its a paid advert.

The piece was too long. Could you please TLDR; where one can play this game?
