About Online Business Sim 2:
Found this game thru Jay Tholen’s twitter, looked like fun so I bought it without looking into it too much. The medium is through a computer screen much like Tholen’s Hypnospace Outlaw, but the story itself is unique and actually pretty disturbing imo. I will admit that for one of the “puzzles” I had to root through the game files to better search the webpages, but you may not run into the same road blocks. Check out this game for a unique take on a short horror story without any jumpscares, although you should be warned that the body horror warning by the author is no joke. I checked the “received for free” box as I was a playtester. The first time through the game, I was absolutely shrieking with laughter for a lot of it (Turd I miss you bro) and when it got real, it got really real. Some of the imagery gave me an adrenaline spike, it’s pretty jarring at first glance. Putting together the storyline is half the game – as it comes together, I found myself needing to keep going deeper. The meta-narrative in the release, which wasn’t present in the beta, is really satisfying while still raising so many more questions. This story really stuck in my craw and I adore it. I really didn’t enjoy this game. It’s confusing and incredibly weird. I thought it was going to be like Emily Is Away, Pony Island, and those other weird simulators. It wasn’t really. It was short, strange, and not very fun to play. It’s basically reading through a bunch of old chat logs that I don’t even really understand. Also: THE ACHIEVEMENTS DON’T WORK. Which really bothers me.
