Task: Log into the console and locate "userID."

As an extension of my previous project "Portrait Against Perception", I created a mini point-and-click puzzle game "userID" to explore the futility of getting to know someone's "true" selves due to the constant flux of one's identity. This piece is also my critique against the Internet's normalisation of privacy invasions.
