The real hidden gem here is the hilarious 40 minute mermaid-themed true crime podcast parody that you'll only hear a portion of if you progress quickly. As far as I can tell, it's fully custom-made for this game? Can't find any references to the characters online. https://stimulation-clicker.neal.fun/ sounds/true-crime.mp3 - it's hosted on Cloudflare, but even so I don't want to cost OP significant bandwidth, so join…

for people that don't want to click a lot, paste in "setInterval(() => document.querySelector('.main-btn').click(), 20)" into the browser console, clicks 50x per second for you :)

The real answer to the web 2.0 appified social media hell hole is automation :D

I noticed the podcast at one point mentions neal.fun, so definitely custom made!

Wow, that was amazing. This is honestly a better piece of contemporary art (in terms of making you think about modern life and what is happening to our environment, the impact on ourselves, our kids, etc.) than most of what you might see at a fancy art gallery or a contemporary art museum in NYC.

You'll never see games at fancy art galleries or contemporary art museums in NYC because games are too accessible

Don't most art museums have free days for city residents, etc.?

Almost every game requires an expensive hardware purchase and often a separate $60-$70 for the game itself

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You're downvoted, but I agree. I found it basically a hodgepodge of 80s references over a basic story with one-dimensional characters (the heroes are Very Good and the bad guy is Very Bad). I would have assumed that it's aimed at young children, if the references weren't forty years before their time.

It's not just that, but also the main protagonist is written terribly and never given any real faults or challenges to overcome. During the entire book there is never a challenge that is not resolved by the next paragraph. The Japanese friends that he makes are grossly stereotyped and are kept one dimensional during the entire book as well. The main character also strikes me as incredibly creepy, and to a level where…

The film even has a proper ending which in itself is hugely thought provoking and something we definitely should consider. The book, if I remember correctly, just sets up for another book.
