Very unique game! I love the idea and its executed perfectly. The only glitch I had was the text messenger went blank once and I had to restart. I thought the tomogachi was a nice touch.

YAY! We're so glad you liked it & thanks so much for voting! :)

Cool concept! As @rumiaobsessed said, the text messenger got buggy, but the rest is EPIC!

What a brilliant concept. This is fantastic, really well implemented. Without the comfort of a game window it feels almost surreal. Very well done!

Wow... this is so amazing. Like other comments have said, it feels so real. I got to the part where I got to the commands, but I couldn't get any further :( and then the text glitched out... I'm really sad about that I wanted to complete the game. Anyways, I really like how different this is. Probably my favorite game I've played so far. 10/10

mateu 2021-10-05 04:21

Oh, also I forgot to mention, I loved, loved, loved how you interacted with the text files and programs and stuff it was awesome

I LOVE this concept. I've been playing for a half hour and I'm super stuck. I can't figure out what to do with the override commands. Do i have to enter them in morse code? It's hard to get one in between the other errors that stop the button. I gotta review other games for that sweet sweet Karma. But I would love to see a walkthough or something. It's reward to figure it out myself. But at a certain point, I just want to know what happens.

@big-play-ben Ask christopher in the chat window. They might be able to help you if you tell them about what you found

big-play-ben 2021-10-05 05:08

Thanks for the hint. I think I won? That was pretty excellent!

I love this concept! Really fun to manage all the desktop elements.

This game was insanely cool! Everything was executed so well and so cleanly. Really neat minigames incoporating the filesystem and such. I only wish there were a couple more minigames, but I'm glad the ones that were in were done so well. I think I may just be bad at puzzle solving, but I couldn't figure out the thing Christopher was telling me about. Overall really neat game and pulled off really strongly!

It is 2021)

So far it is the best game I have played in the last 5 jams. Interacting with text files on your own pc is just an awesome idea. Great game! :)

frozedon 2021-10-06 07:26

@teegan Thanks for the feedback! We have decided to add a folder full of hints if you want to give it another go. There may be much more to this game to see.

leumas 2021-10-06 07:38

Hey, great game! I love the idea and gameplay is also really nice. I had fun playing it :)

lisky 2021-10-06 08:34

That's really nice idea o.o I actually like it. Keep working!

not-an-apple-a-stone 2021-10-06 08:48

Whoa! Ive never played a game like this before so this was quite the experience, loved everything about it!

ghubert 2021-10-06 09:08

Need pause the work when chatting...

erukolindo 2021-10-06 11:45

That was an absolutely fantastic experience. I don't even have any criticism. It's a clever, well executed idea.

mordrick 2021-10-06 11:54

Argh! I'm on vacation right now and that reminded me so much of my regular work ^^.

Nice approach to the theme and it really didn't help me to have about 14 windows open when I started that game ^^.

Love it! Keep up the good work!

uglyswedishfish 2021-10-06 18:22

Spectacular stuff! Love the idea, and the execution is brilliant.

lucdeligne 2021-10-07 03:58

Fantastic idea and flawless execution. It kinda blows my mind that you were able to make such a complex game in such a short time.

chairshot-games 2021-10-08 22:39

Best game I've played of the jam so far! So creative and I have no idea how you made the text files work with the game but it was amazing. Really funny writing and an interesting story. Such a well thought out game, it's amazing you built it in a weekend. Only problems I ran into were that Security code X9 wasn't working for me, so I had to restart the game. Also the game crashed at what I assume was the end, but because of the format of the game I couldn't tell if this was intentional or not. The way your game worked was like nothing I have ever played before. I'm really impressed and would definitely pay for an expanded version. Great job!

Super unique idea here! I have to confess I felt a sudden injection of stress as soon as the Slack window appeared :sweat_smile:

I also spent far too long trying to find where the key codes were, I didn't realize it was being added to the filesystem. That kind of breaking the boundary between the game and the game files was really interesting (once I got the hang of it)
