This is pretty cool. The hacking mechanic is interesting and fits well with the pacing and the time pressure. It's slow, but not too clunky.
I wished there was still feedback on which computer you are when performing a Check file.
I managed the first room but got caugh in the second.
Good mood and nice choice of music too.
I like the simplified, node-based take on hacking this game uses. I just wish there was a bit more to do than hunt down files and transfer them. Maybe you could do things like hack firewalls (enabling access to nodes you normally can't reach) and hinder security (giving you more time to execute your hacks)?
I couldn't understand what I have to do until try 5. But then I got it and stuck on the second level!... the problem now was that in full screen I can't see few nods on the left... but then it went better :) So yeah, nice idea. Graphics. But a little confusing at first.
Interesting gameplay - very easy to understand. However, I'm not really sure if there's any strategy - you basically have to guess correctly, or you lose.
I felt the gameplay was a bit confusing, and that whether you succeed or not is basically purely by chance. On the other hand, the game has a very good mood and fitting graphics, it just needs to be a bit clearer and give more feedback to the player.
Also, I'm a little curious as to what really happened in this "darkest timeline".
Neat game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Ludum Dare 37 games, if you’d like to take a look. :) https://youtu.be/YxApuQ84rNY
