I played this game previously, and I also thought about LessWrong as I played it, namely in the context of AI FOOM. In a very real sense we only get once chance with it. If we get it wrong we'll have to "live" with the consequences forever. This drastically amplifies the importance of every single decision that we make.

Yes - it was a good reminder of what real life is like, as opposed to re-loading a save.

I very much enjoyed the understated style, and the banality of despair.
