all i can see are the messages the contacts and the photos

same, I can't click on anything else

This felt like a cross between "Simulacra" and "In Memoriam". I'm not a fan of Facebook, but it was nicely integrated into game. I particularly liked the gathering of information outside the game. But gathering the clues was fun in general.

I found the scope of the game decent. At some point it can get a bit tiring/boring to scroll through umpteen messages and you managed to avoid that. But I'm still looking forward to the updated version.

Fun game!

I hope for at least a minor update for next week ;) Scrollbar handle is definitely something that would make the game more pleasant.
