Faith: An 8-Bit Horror is a game about notes.
Zoomers are never gonna believe this, but back in the day information technology was hella scary. People would tell you to never use your real name online, never enter sensitive information like social security or credit card numbers, basically don't share anything online you wouldn't share with a person you didn't trust in real life.
It's hard to believe today because it's no longer taboo to be a fuckin' idiot online. Use your credit card to book a stay in a stranger's house. Live stream yourself beating a person half to death in a nail shop. Start an MLM. The sky is literally the limit.
The internet didn't get any less dangerous. Marketing just got way better.
Also, hackers got lazier. Well, I wouldn't say lazier, let's say less motivated. Hacking and being a DJ had a lot in common back in the day. Both endeavors required an understanding of the subject matter, tools, and training to make the music happen. Both endeavors were also exclusionary, not a lot of people had patience, so not a lot of people did it.
Nowadays the only requirement to be a DJ is a thumb drive. You can rent the equipment.
Imagine being a jewel thief who spent their whole life learning how to break into hyper-protected vaults. Then a decade later some kid comes along and creates a chain of shops in the mall that asks people to give them jewelry, and people fight over the ability to do it in order to get imaginary currency in return. Such is life.
Not that there are not some real deal savages still lurking out there, but if those folks are on your head you probably know you got way more than furry porn on your hard drive to worry about.
Anyway, Faith is an old game. Airdorf is coming out with another soon, I hear. Something about elevators. I know Faith doesn't look like much, but fidelity doesn't have to be hi-rez. It usually isn't.
Rip TC Rip TB Rip Tall-T. Love is wise, hatred is foolish. Get out there and do great things, we believe in you. Also Jobs.
