This man has done the impossible
Wow, I've finally found something that (unintentionally) explains Ckyschdhannl* from my connected story multiversal lore. Essentially a multi-dimensional machine that "grew" from an original A.I. core, and just kept adding to itself, the technology getting more and less advanced as the civilizations it got the tech from appear and vanish. Eventually it grew to the point where it's essentially an entire plane of existence itself, and almost impossible to navigate unless you have a direct neural link to its systems because everything is so tangled up that it doesn't even follow Euclidian space in some places anymore. Much of the tech has no recognizable purpose because whatever it does is connected to another part of the machine located in seventeen-dimensional space twelve light-years away, assuming it's even used anymore and not replaced by another bit of machinery. The whole thing has become so complex not even deities can wrap their minds around it, and the A.I. itself has trouble keeping track of just what everything does, where it is, and why it does things.

Anyway, onto the review, I review that review 10/10.
Gave me a good idea of what the game is like, took me on an emotional and logistical roller-coaster, and gave me the perfect thing to link to when explaining a thing in my lore that I do not want to have to explain in detail frequently. Perfection and madness at its finest. True insanity.
