DONE! Hope it works. Enjoy!

vnator 2013-08-27 05:06

Any hints for the anagram?

endesga 2013-08-27 05:28

Very cool :)

brotherst 2013-08-27 08:24

ENDESGA - Thanks! :)

Vnator - if you look at the scrawls on the desk you might see that the security guard who operates that terminal harbours a bit of a hate boner for a certain something. Thinking about that with the letters you've got should help you a bit hopefully. Each letter is only used once.

Very, very good. Great graphics, unfortunately no audio.. but a really well-executed game.

brotherst 2013-08-27 14:20

@MvdLaar - Cheers! Yeah, audio certainly would add to the experience :( I think you can rate our entry more effectively if you pretend that you've been struck with sudden deafness ;)

vnator 2013-08-27 16:13

Ok, thanks. I'll think about it some more.

tainted_code 2013-08-27 23:30

Oooh, liked the graphics a lot. Great game!

thermite 2013-08-27 23:30

Very cool, love the clean graphical style. Just needs some moody music!

imef 2013-08-27 23:36

Good game! I love every little detail in it. ;)

vnator 2013-08-28 01:01

My little brother ended up figuring out the anagram before me. Now I just can't find the disk. Every puzzle solved makes the game more fun. Once again, nice job!

darien 2013-08-29 12:56

Probably I'm just a dope, but I got absolutely *nowhere.* Lack of an "invert Y axis" option doesn't help; since time is so sharply limited, mousing the wrong way gets extra frustrating.

Also: your .zip file contains the executable with a .txt extension. Is that by design?

brotherst 2013-08-29 21:39

sorry about that. We honestly had no idea anyone played with inverted mouse controls.

Let's see if you find it a bit easier with your preferred control scheme :) f7 and f8 are now invert x and y axis respectively.

Also .txt file was my fault :P (Rob, the artist)

Vnator - Thank you! Glad you like the game enough to come back to it! Thanks for playing!

Thanks everyone!

Starting the .exe I got a System Error (missing libvorbisfile.dll, libvorbis.dll, freeglut.dll). Downloaded the first 2 of them, couldn't find freeglut.dll after a quick search. Abandoned.

almax27 2013-08-29 21:57

Very nice game.

brotherst 2013-08-29 22:01

@LordHellMaX - You must have managed to download the file in the few minutes that we mistakenly uploaded a file containing just the executable. The download link now contains all the required files, as before.

brotherst 2013-08-29 22:02

Sorry about that LordHellMax, they should all be in there now. I may have been screwing with the files while you were downloading.

skywing 2013-08-29 22:24

Amazing, one of the most interesting games I've played so far. Time loops are just great.

legacycrono 2013-08-29 22:46

Hmm, not working for me. It crashes right at the start. =(
Here's the log file: http://pastebin.com/1wNXai22

blackbulletiv 2013-08-29 22:55

Great theme, graphics and design. It'd be awesome with some audio.

Problem is I have not a clue how to solve it, and I certainly don't have the patience to keep banging my head at this for hours. What am I meant to use for this anagram? The IOU message? The scratchings on the desk? The "test_" text on the other computer?

brotherst 2013-08-29 23:17

Sorry about that Legacy. Our resident code monkey will have a look at that soon.

BlackBulletIV - Haha. Hmm, I guess this kind of game is not for you :) Thanks for the kind comments!

ellipticaldoor 2013-08-29 23:32

Don't work for me :(

brotherst 2013-08-29 23:36

Any details ellipticaldoor?

nickc 2013-08-29 23:49

Interesting concept. Like everyone else said, needs some music but otherwise appears to be well executed. However, I couldn't get very far even with the hints here.

Also, is the loop supposed to instantly reset when I hit the G key? Because it is, and since it isn't listed in your controls I figure it might be a testing thing :P

theholychicken 2013-08-30 01:44

I am getting an "APPCRASH" on my windows 8 laptop when I try to run this.. The console thing manages to run, it goes fullscreen with a white blank game area for a few seconds and crashes.

nickc 2013-08-30 07:12

Came back after a clue from my friend and we worked it out together. Very clever little game you've got here! :)

gmaker 2013-08-31 13:35

:-) cool game! good job sir!

tamat 2013-08-31 15:12

I have an strange dejavu with my website intro when playing your game: http://tamats.com
good work!

dalbinblue 2013-08-31 15:33

Cool concept, feel stupid though. Got the password, but couldn't find the disk.

lokarunith 2013-08-31 19:53

The camera movements give me headaches but the concept is very cool. There is a bug that makes the game go back to the begining after writing "killing" on the computer.

bneutral 2013-08-31 20:46

I won! Took me forever to realize how to get the floppy from the floor.

brotherst 2013-08-31 21:58

@BNeutral - Congrats! I think you might be the first to do so!

x-or 2013-09-01 01:33

Had to n/a this one... only brought me a black screen on startup. =(

brotherst 2013-09-02 07:19

@Lokarunith - Seems I left "G" bound to reset the environment. Just don't press G :) And what is it about the camera movement that gives you headaches? I'd like to avoid that in the future.

porglezomp 2013-09-07 16:24

I want a mac build so desperately.

bmacintosh 2013-09-07 17:43

One of the best looking-games I've seen so far.
