Ooooo I love the atmosphere. Had an idea of making a desktop-helper esque game but it evolved into a puzzle. The VFX are good. Good job!

это круто

@eklsn Thank you! Almost from the very beginning, when we started exploring this topic, we came up with the idea of an assistant like Clippy from Microsoft Office—but in the form of a virus that wants to steal files. We also based the theme on the ciphers that were in use at the time (mostly DES, of course, but we wanted to create a progression, so we added the Caesar and Vigenère ciphers). I hope you enjoyed playing!

A simple but really good concept, and very well executed! My only complaint is that the text on the decoder is hard to read. Sometimes the symbols are barely visible, so you have to guess what they are.

@anku Thanks! Unfortunately, it's because of the screen resolution, but you could say it all comes down to the atmosphere and setting, hahaha 😅. When I checked it out, I saw it myself and thought, “Damn, this is actually cooler this way! I think it'll look better this way than at a higher resolution.”

Found a bug: pressing the spacebar while playing in fullscreen causes the game to crash. overall nice game! If you have some spare time, feel free to drop by our page and try out our entry as well. Would love to hear your feedback!

Pretty cool and unique game, really like the overall. I did find that the last computer was a bit confusing, the note in the desk could've been written a little better. But overall it is a pretty cool game, has potential for more.

@dracco-0n We hadn't even considered using the spacebar, which is why we didn't realize there was such a bug - thanks for the feedback! I think we'll play through your game soon and give you some feedback - good luck!

@neeko69 Thank you! I personally thought I had explained everything quite clearly, but the problem is that we aren't native English speakers, so we can't fully assess the accuracy of the machine translation. We would appreciate it if you could provide some specific details; that would be very helpful to us.

@ernar Don't worry, I'm not a native english speaker as well. The letter says "The name is in the boss's letter on the next computer" that "next" made me confused, as there is no "next computer" in a sense that there isn't a 4th one, but the letter is on the second one. I think maybe a better could be "The name is in the boss's letter on the second computer"

@neeko69 Oh, now I get it. Sorry about that - we were in a rush to release the game, so we didn't have time to thoroughly check the text for accuracy. Thanks for your help!

@kseny Спасибо! Нам было бы очень интересно узнать, что именно вам понравилось и что, по вашему мнению, мы могли бы добавить. Если у вас есть какие-либо идеи, буду рад их услышать!

good <3

I did not play it throug since I just get annoyed with the "manual old shcool" puzzles like scribles etc (its me issue mostly), and stopped after pc1

I had hard time reading the text on computer, though it the visual does improve the mood. You style is pretty nice and the clipy as hint system seems good, though maybe slightly handholdy at start.

ernar 2026-10-24 16:11 ♥ 0

@prunus-padis Yes, unfortunately, the hints are too obvious - the file names and their contents. We decided to make these compromises so that players wouldn’t give up on the game before reaching at least the second computer. By the way, a close friend of mine barely managed to finish the game even with my hints... We focused more on the gameplay mechanics themselves, and we’ll be able to refine the appearance and placement of the hints as soon as we receive enough feedback. Thank you for playing our game and writing a review - we really appreciate it!

Great job on this project! Loved the visual style and the overall atmosphere you've created here, fits the jam nicely. Left full ratings! Greetings from the Meow Bomb team — feel free to stop by our page if you're looking for more games to rate!

I love the vibe, but the camera needs work: turning around makes it glitch out hard. Also, the cutscenes leave this annoying delay at the end where your character just stalls for a few seconds before you can move again. They definitely need to be faster!
