This is a very good social experiment on the Human Body! I recommend to everyone playing this.. but only with Sound on and if you don't go crazy you have passed the test!

OK, so I had already congratulated you on Discord, but I really want to leave my opinion on the forums and recommend this to everyone that sees this forum post

To anyone that hasn't tried this yet, IT'S. FREAKING. AMAZING. If you already do have 38A installed then you really should download and play it, and if you don't have it on your computer then I also do recommend that you install it, even if it's just for this episode. It's worth it.

Alright, I'm gonna start gushing about the episode so, spoiler alert!
Spoilers for XYZ: show
Alright, so where do I even start? The music?
Firstly let me say that the simple fact that you used It's the Best Day ever for the fish level(TM) has made me want to relisten to the song after having forgotten it for months. It's just that damn good.. I also really liked I'm Blue for Existential Crisis. Plus the TTS voices saying "XYZ" at random intervals are a nice touch as well (i gotta admit the one in Spanish took me off guard lol).

The general aesthetics of the episode are also really good! I know you didn't make most yourself but your theme-choosing deserves at least some credit IMO. I especially liked the outline style in Existential Crisis (I think this level has become my favorite)

Now for the most important part - The level design. Needless to say, it's great. It's very difficult (for me, i know i am trash at games) while still having kept me wanting to finish the whole episode. The death system is handled greatly and the checkpoints also helped with it. I still wonder how you did the swinging platforms in the first level (I'm guessing it is just a Call LSpin with a variable speed parameter but I probably am wrong) and the fish minigame was a really welcome mix-up of the mechanics.
Also the "THINK FAST" in the... uhh... swooper plant level? caught me so unprepared lol
All in all, great episode. 10/10, definitely recommend. XYZ.

also yes i did make an account just to reply to this post, i always forget my passwords
