There are several things that need polishing with regards to the lore. For example, they should make it a legal obligation for Deckers to have some clear indicator that they are Deckers, for the benefit of the public. Or as utilitarian as it sounds, illegalise Deckers from leaving their houses. Also, most if not all of the deaths described were self-fulfilling prophecies, which is kind of…

Those aside, feels like there’s a ton of untapped potential with the concept of the Death-Cast which I’d be really interested to see explored in more depth. 

Also personal nitpick, but not too big a fan of the

instalove aspect?
