Maybe link to an about page. Dropping me straight to a login/create account is off putting. I'm sure it's a fun and interesting game but I want to know something about the content before forking over bits of PII.

Oh wow, this comment is absolutely perfect for this post.

Just so you know, you are technically losing the game right now :)

The game is rigged, but you cannot lose if you do not play.
I mean it could be PII, but it doesn't have to be. Just randomly generate a username/password. If your name is john smith there's no reason why you need to use "jsmith" as your username for every site.
Yes but it requires effort to create an account and remember a password, etc. and there's no incentive to do that without an about page or some other information about the game.
I just made up something. I wasn't intending to come back, but I could always create another one if it was worth it.
Yeah maybe just try JS or even J?
Good points, but I can't respond to your points without creating spoilers
The form is literally the game. All these comments are even better and more meta than the game itself.
They did say it was dystopian…
My hint is stop once you’ve entered anything more PII than your IP address in their server logs.
