Alpha Reboot

I got past the first round by guessing the missing letter, but I couldn't work out how I'm supposed to use the quantum stabilizer since it's also password protected at the start and I couldn't find any clues about its password.

I saw the cover image and I knew I had to check it out. So far it has succeded in holding up that curiosity.

@tesseract Thanks, I'll try to update the spoilers. I wanted to make sure people would see the password easily, but I think most people don't assume it can be multiple times in memory (just with different corrupted characters.

I didn't realise that there was anything non-random in most of the memory. I'll try this again when I've had some sleep.

This is awesome! I couldn't figure out the 2nd round - but like @tesseract says I think I'll come back to it when I've had some sleep 'cause I'm not at my best right now lol

I am not good at word games ;(

command line game is so cool, system unstable is good for theme

problem is my input like ack not response, maybe it's a device problem, i'll try another computer later:)

ilokimo 2021-10-04 18:39

@nekowei hmm it's case sensitive, needs to be in lower case. Was this the cause? or might be a console text glitch saying you need ack but it has already been accepted, you can try "help"

This is fascinating and it made me feel quite smart for finding our at least the first password

Woah, great take on the theme! (and I like terminal games 😁). I tried to go as far a possible without looking for your spoilers, its fun with great execution. Good job!

Lots of fun! I love games in the terminal as well. Good job! Had to rely on the spoilers

Really cool take on instability. I finally got the through the first round, I'll probably revisit this later to try the other ones. This did a good job at making each discovery feel important. For it just being a terminal screen and a few beeps, this did a great job of building mood and tension. Great work!

I haven't seen many text based game, so points for originallity! It was a bit hard, but I liked it
