Hacknet

This is clearly an amazing game, a near spot-on simulation, and also a headache. My subjective experience was not fun. The Unix-like interface felt too much like work, the weird people-pleasing politics felt too much like a job, and the random timer-activated stressors, yep, felt too much like a real job. The story and the text seem okay, some of it super tropey, others of it genuinely surprising. There is some branching, but it was not enough to really carry me forward.
