I enjoyed this story very much. It has taken a lot of the thing we see in gaming pastas (game knowns who you are, says or does things it shouldn't be able to etc.) and grounds them in a more realistic setting than just the old "Haunted Video Game" story. There are reasons and explanations given, and though they may at times seem far fetched, they are totally plausible, and that makes read more interesting than the typical gaming pasta, for me at least.

Spelling, grammar, format, clarity, style, I feel like they were all in fine order. I am unfamiliar with the Fallout series, but have a basic understanding of what the games look like, and how the gameplay works. I think that the descriptions of the gameplay in this story were such that I could imagine everything being explained without having ever played the games. Since I don't play a lot of modern games, that is a good thing ;)

I understand that some awful topics are touched on here, and It's good that you say that right up front, that way people who don't want that type of story can skip it. Personally, I don't feel like this went into exploitation territory, but it's a thin line to walk.

I'm rambling, yet again. Short and simple, I enjoyed the story.
