Tone & Content

Darkly Humorous - Features profanity, crude humor, dark jokes, and NPCs that will absolutely insult you. Captures the unmoderated chaos of early internet chatrooms where everyone was "unwell" but entertaining.

Developer

Created by happystoner5420 Games as a tribute to the wild, unfiltered era of Yahoo Chatrooms (1996-2012) - "gone but not forgiven."

This is essentially a psychological horror comedy dressed as a chat simulator, where the horror comes from recognizing how much of early internet culture has persisted inside these digital ghosts, and the comedy comes from watching 50 broken personalities interact in their digital purgatory.
