When you said try to stop the computer from blue screening, did you mean the digital computer? Or my computer???

Overall interesting idea, and I'm satisfied to say that the power button is actually a button :)

This brings back early 2000s memories. But this is on steroids. What a frustrating game haha. Great take on the theme.

This was an amazing game! only gripe is that it causes so much lag if you survive for long enough that the game becomes unplayable.

there was definitely a bug that caused the virus to not scale the same in different FPS . next update i'll do some major optimization and also look into the virus's delta time stuff to see what's causing the issue :-)

That game was hilarious ! I love the concept and the popup ideas ! Even if in the end it was pretty hard to try closing windows (but realistic 😂). Congrats !

Oh wow I hate this it's amazing. I love how each popup has a unique way of closing it, I feel like there's so much scope for more popups with this idea! The vfx are fantastic as well and the sound effects are perfectly jarring. The dvd logos are a little impossible to get rid of though and tend to lag the game. I was laughing the whole time I played this 10/10!

This was so fun yet stressful haha. I like how you changed up the ways to close the popups so it's not only clicking "close"
The lagging as the computer gets progressively more infected is on point! Bonus points for the beautiful itch page as well

Horror beyond comprehension. This is what immersive sims earn to be.

Good job! At some point It seemed I was in control, but those dvds, man…

Oh my god I hate this game so much 10/10

Was actually cackling the entire time, fighting against manmade horrors beyond my comprehension before giving up in despair, watching my computer get claimed by a neverending tide of pop ups. Love the little easter egg at the end in base 64
