Looks interesting, but I couldn't figure out how to enter the password into the computer. Could just be my unfamiliarity with text-based adventures.

Thanks man!
Music was really hard. I started working on doing some procedural arranging of loops for variety, but I couldn't get it to produce reliably good sounding music, so I just went with something simple, if repetitive.
Hi TripleHexel,
I think I might have fixed your problem (I changed the shell for that script to bash instead of sh), but I'm not sure as I can't reproduce it myself.
Could you try again?
If it still doesn't work, please try running the following command from the tulip directory:
$ ./ltclient data
I've updated the Linux build of the engine so that most of the dependencies are statically linked. This means you don't need to install specific versions of glew, glfw or openal to run it. There are no changes to the game itself.
Hi ohsqueezy,
I did some research and that error could happen if you're using the default Windows OpenGL drivers (which have no hardware acceleration). Installing the latest graphic drivers from your GPU manufacturer might help.
Ian.
I had to play this twice. Quite moving.
Innovative idea! I think it would have been even more fun with keyboard controls though.
I found this game intriguing, but I had no idea what I was doing. I'd just join up random nodes and click them and eventually progress to the next level.
Really beautiful. I love the way the trees grow outside the game frame.
I "click to begin", but nothing happens (using Chrome 26.0.1410.64 on Windows 7).
Nice. I couldn't stop playing until I finished it.
I don't know how to start the game. Press enter: start menu item disappears, but nothing else happens.
Thanks for all the kind feedback everyone :)
If you're stuck at the first blue part, here's the solution: https://vine.co/v/MvXj0tgBLdg.
Wonderful. The synthesized narration was surprisingly effective.

I really like the way gathering more "markers" causes the anti-bodies to become more alerted to your presence.
Thanks for the feedback everyone! I've added some play tips to the game's description and turned of donations on the itch.io page.
