That's one hell of a cake story! :] I dig the ARG approach- you don't see that a lot.

it's an interesting concept, and a crazy ambitious idea for a jam game, but it clearly needs a lot more stuff to be fleshed out enough to truly work.

I think I got it. What was before, cake or recipe? Nice entry!!

Neat idea, although it did feel a little creepy, haha.

Felt a bit uncomfortable, at first I thought you made some mistake and shared more than you wanted to for this submission, then I saw the screenshot of the pictures and realized it's all part of the plan. Brilliant idea :)

Jimbo Wales writing a reference entry for Singlets? Hahah! Clever going all throughout. Really felt like a super sleuth cracking the code to the private video. There wasn't enough info to draw a clear picture of the story, but I enjoyed my time in there. Well done.

Really interesting! Spent the first 20 minutes or so trying to figure out if Sandstorm was real, though.

Holy crap this was smart game.
A detective story in the computer.
Great meta and gameplay!

Pretty clever and really really cool!

This is amazing! Love the simrob easter egg. I'm not sure if I've done everything or not; I've found a couple of unlockable, uh, things (trying not to spoil), but they were almost identical except for a bit in the middle, and it didn't give me a clear direction to gofrom there.

Hi Nut --
You've got all the content. There might be some additional insight if you look into the real-world history of the site, but this is basically an intro and as such there isn't yet anywhere to go from there. I do have some thoughts as to where I want the plot to go, so fingers crossed and maybe there will be more in the future. :) (I see we're friends-of-friends, so I'm happy to discuss on Twitter/email if you're curious where I see the plot going.)

horribly fecking lost, but love this originality and effort. kudos......What cake is it?

Really really awesome concept, I love this. (semi-spoiler) The password for the second video doesn't seem to work though, I swear I figured it out correctly and put it in right...
