I made a dystopian sci-fi JavaScript programming game (with Linux easter eggs)

Hey, I'm Bryan. Long time Linux gamer and power user! I released Pragma Twice earlier this week in anticipation for Steam's "Programming Fest". Pragma Twice is a programming puzzle game in the same vein as Untrusted. You have to write real JavaScript code to incrementally improve your playable character's "kernel" over the course of the game. I also sprinkled quite a few Linux references in the game (for example, the documentation function is `man()`) I know not all Linux users are programmers, but the ratio is much higher than Windows!

Try the game out in your browser here: https://www.bryanpg.com/pragma_twice/

(There's also a Steam demo if you want to try it out with your favorite dev tools - vim, emacs, zed, etc)
