Whose Hellos Are These, Anyway?

In this interactive text-based game, you find yourself in the lively, chaotic city of Babblesburg, where every stranger insists on greeting you with exaggerated formalities. You play as Alec, a disillusioned private investigator who is tasked with uncovering the source of a peculiar phenomenon: a bizarre epidemic of overly-friendly 'hellos' that has spread through the city. As you navigate through quirky neighborhoods, interact with eccentric characters, and uncover strange secrets, you must piece together why these greetings are making some residents disappear without a trace. Will you be able to solve the mystery of the missing hellos before they swallow the whole city whole?
