Not sure if it's a bug, but after re-calibrating the alphabet module I typed in the command again and it went back to no power, couldn't proceed from there. It was however a really good laugh up until then, very innovative idea, great job!
Killed the power a second time and wasnt able to restart it. Quite a fun game to that point though. But i dont want to go through all the reconnecting the wires a second time. sorry.
I was really enjoying the game right but did get stuck when it asks you to restart the terminal, since I wasn't guessing the right filename for a while. I love the graphics, and I enjoy terminal based games, but not knowing the commands can be frustrating. Overall I enjoyed the experience!
This is an amazing game, i got stuck by the power cables, but then i was messing around with them and i got to the point where i wanted it so that every wire was connected to everything, and it worked! i love the alphabet puzzle tho, its a really clever idea
Keep up the good work!
Well, I'm taking a bit of a break to come write this while I'm stuck with a completely fucked up font. It started up being quite simple but for some unknown reason it keeps getting changed and getting more and more screwed up. Now there are only like 5 different letters and some many duplicates of them that it is kinda impossible to decipher anything. I managed to make sense of the command list (except for their descriptions I guess?) but no clue what to use them on...

And now that I came here and saw a glance of your screenshots (and obviously couldn't resist about looking at the non fucked up manual, it was all smooth sailing. Still have a feeling I did something wrong and was supposed to fix the alphabet somehow. But that hint message reset right back to "reboot world one" that I didn't quite know what to do. So I hacked my way with a completely broken alphabet. I also did the image puzzle before the reboot sequence.

There were some huge performance issues and I dunno why. At start it kinda ran fine except for a minor hiccup every five seconds or so but it got much worse the longer I played. Especially when the console was rendering text. That timer must leak or increase or something cause it kept getting slower and slower to render a single letter (or hieroglyph in my case at least). So near the end when I output the manual, it took way more than a minute to fully show up. And while it was doing so I tabbed out to start writing this and it even lagged my writing to Chrome. And I'm on mac btw.
Really liked it, was right up my alley. Well the font thing was annoying (and the text slowdown didn't help either) but that also wouldn't have been so bad if the alphabet stayed 1:1 and not 5 different letters are square. The rest of the game paled in comparison difficulty wise to that's why I think I did something completely wrong. The wire puzzle hint about shot circuiting wasn't really helpful but that puzzle was quite easily solvable by just fiddling around for a bit. Other than that, I found the "hints" way too hand holdy.
Anyways, good job, you've made an interesting a fun game! :tada:
Awesome game! I love these kinds of first person puzzlers and especially the hacker vibes!
Somehow the game is unbelievably slow on my machine. In fact even when I switch windows to a different application like the webbrowser this also gets slow. Weird thing is that int only uses 20% of my CPU and memory is also more than 20% left. I have no clue what's going on. Makes it sadly unplayable.
I'm on linux, downloaded the archive, made "404 - World not found - Linux.x86_64" executable and ran that. Was that correct?
Great game, love how immersive it is! Would have liked more sound though. You should expand this, I'd love to see where the narrative would go.
A very good effort! I was stuck on the power wires for the longest time... a hint that I should select the next colour would've been nice.
Felt a bit sad at the end that I couldn't actually build a world, but enjoyed the experience of figuring that out.
Some sound and music could really have elevated the mood in this game to the next level (it was quite good even without any).
