Not convinced by the experience, but the game looks good and it's immersive. Well done :-)

Awesome, your game is magnificent! I had a blast playing it, really cool stuff!

eklsn 2026-10-20 04:42 ♥ 2

Damn I like how accurate did you portray the terminal :)

It has a great detective atmosphere. I also really enjoyed rummaging through someone else’s PC.

I really enjoyed interacting with the terminal, but I was a little lost. Maybe consider letting the ↑ and ↓ keys cycle through previous commands to avoid repeated typing? The overall style is fantastic!

This feels very authentic... the hum of the machine and clicky clacky keys was super, plus the (very real) frustration of font choice in the introductory letter. Even the bewilderment of not know what on earth I'm doing, made me pine for my old Amstrad and simpler explorative times. Very nice!

You've nailed that old terminal look! The “CELL Labs loves you” welcome is already making me suspicious haha. Having to dig through someone else's messy computer is a great setup for a mystery.

Such a unique style, you guys did an amazing job!

dracco-0n 2026-10-20 11:16 ♥ 2

I wasn’t able to finish the game because I got a bit lost and couldn’t figure out how to return to the main screen after clicking on a letter. But I surely like the shader style in the game :)

The vibe is quite intriguing. The color dispersion of character and gray hue really put a special vibe.

witheredwizard 2026-10-20 16:11 ♥ 1

This one really makes you think. I like the idea.

Well, I don't think I'm going to finish this one on the first go here. There's a lot to dig into! I'd like to come back to this at some point because I want to see where it was going, but I spent about 30 minutes on it and need to move on to other games. Very cool what I've seen so far - I love these sorts of pseudo-ARG experiences.

Some spoiler-y discussion of what I've done and where I'm stuck: !> I can get to Mustard's room to the east, but can't do anything there. It just says I enter the room, and no other options. !> I have gotten the A1 LED to turn on. !> I have decrypted the passwords, and logged in and scoured the drive as all the other users. Mustard can see the services files, but all interactions with those files fail, so I'm not sure what else to do there. Scarlet's sequence B files allow me to input a code in the hatches room that lets out smoke, but no other sign of what that's done I've been able to find. !> I see watch in the lobby, and the game seems to want me to grab it, but I can't !> I have a bunch of other half leads that I can't figure out

All in all, I'm happy with the experience that I got out of this, but I'm intrigued to see what I missed!

Cool little game, reminiscent of the adventures games of old. The print mechanic is a fun twist!

radiolaria 2026-10-21 06:47 ♥ 1

I LOVE THIS. I unfortunately didn't figure out how to see all the commands to get through the game, but I adore the sound design and visuals. Great work!

nesmon 2026-10-21 11:01 ♥ 0

Good work! Good game! Good usage of theme. I don't think there is something bad at all!

mushlord 2026-10-21 15:36 ♥ 3

Awesome atmosphere; it really brings to mind the style of Mike Klubnika. I enjoyed the interaction with the terminal—the game is good.

pigeonescu 2026-10-21 19:44 ♥ 1

Really cool atmosphere, It reminded me a bit of stanley's parable. I got a bit lost at some point, would love some extra info about the game on the itch page.

ok-octopus13 2026-10-21 20:11 ♥ 1

This was a super neat game! I loved using the old terminal, and the sounds were super satisfying. I can totally see this being a full puzzle game I would play. I definitely agree with the user saying up and down arrows to redo commands would have been nice to have. But this is a fantastic entry!

Very cool Linux simulator!

I was dead after that near 3 hour game before yours. I will be redoing this one tonight or on the weekend stream. the bash implementation is very fun. I love a good adventure game and will have more energy on my next session with this one. thanks for sharing! expect another comment soon with a fresh vod link.

That's very impressive! There is a strong oppressive mood with such simple graphics and nothing happening. Exploring the computer feel tense and engaging somehow. The print mechanic is great, again simple yet very effective.

The blue color is very, very hard to read on my screen (or for my eyes). If you are able, a small update that makes it a tad lighter would probably help a bunch of players. I got stuck for a while cause I was entering "waiting" as a command. It's kind of dumb from me tbh, tho I think the keyword highlighted not being the exact command sometimes is not ideal and can probably lead to the same kind of things in other places as well.

I had to stop at some point but I'll make sure to come back and finish it. Congrats!

Love the vibe and the usage of old tech. It had an almost analogue feel to it. A bit difficult to get the camera and the terminal but solid entry

tigerj 2026-10-27 13:21 ♥ 0

I am really hooked on the story and puzzles going on here, I plan to play this more deeply off stream where I can focus on the game, story, and puzzles. This was my second session playing it, there is so much to think about and consider (plot, puzzle, and story).

Lots of text/reading zaps my energy sometimes, can drain me on camera/stream. I want you to know I really love this entry and the terminal/bash experience + printed artifacts are immersive and cool. I also am a pretty crappy typist lol. https://www.youtube.com/live/1jKZ760uuDk?t=14572
