Such a cool idea, and I enjoyed Microcorruption, but ended up getting stuck in the second or third level and couldn't even figure out the right questions to ask to get help. (I stepped into the irc channel at some point and asked some simple question, but got an answer that I couldn't even parse. So I realized I was out of my league and needed to learn more basics first.) My one concern is about something that was me…

The notion that some (potential) employer might consider using it to the hilt as a "bad" thing sounds profoundly worrying to me. Probably not someone I'd want to work for.
