KUMBANET
Lore (Should be obvious from the game):
The year is no longer used to measure time, humanity has progressed far and wide. Every physical frontier has been conquered every danger neutralized. However, not every danger is physical, sometimes a even a single thought can wipe out a large civilisation. KUMBANET has been formed by the federation to validate regions of thought before allowing humans to ponder them.
You've been reincarnated by the galactic federation after a long life of doing nothing, decaying and playing GBTK submissions. However, the federation is not going to be paying for your vacation in heaven for free, they want something back. You've been signed up as one of the human contributors to the KUMBANET network, your first task is going through the archives of the old EarthNet and coming to terms with the fact that this is your purgatory.
How to play (if you REALLY can't figure it out from the brilliant tutorial):
Downloadable version reccomended. (WASM is still kinda jank)
QWEASD to move, C to something, collect thoughts (the cubes) and once you got 3, press the button at the bottom left (IT IS THERE TRUST ME, YOU WILL HEAR IT).
