- I was hooked once inside the house :) but stuck with the nightstand - Nice ambiance (sound and FX) - It would be nice to use the up arrow key to repeat the last text entered/make the typing less tedious (although it is the intension to mimic an old os, so maybe not)

Nice experience overall :)

Hi Elderoy! Thanks for the feedback! Actually, arrow keys were a feature I would have liked to have implemented but I had to focus on other things given the time constraints. I'm glad you enjoyed!

This was super interesting. It was eerie and well executed. I would like to play a longer version of this.

Neat idea, pretty well executed. I really like the oldschool CRT effect, and the sound really sells it. I also like how you added shortcuts in the different recursion levels. I actually started mapping out the locoations (old text adventure habbit ;D) before I realized it is quite linear (nothing wrong with that though). Just FYI, I played it fullscreen in 1920x1200 and it worked fine. Also, there might be a typo in Ludum Dare, it looked like Ludem Dare to me, but that might have been the CRT effect.

This is a cool idea! I really love the old monitor style and the background ambience really adds to the feel of the game and takes me back very quickly :D Great work!

I know the Ludum Dare is on a tight schedule, but I do wish there was a bit more to poke around with on the computer. Tho, I regularly use the command line for various task; so, I naturally want to poke around as much as I can. However, I absolutely love the short story presented in the game. The ending definitely caught me by surprise. Short, but sweet. Very nice work!
