this is a unique interpretation of the theme and very nostalgic ride. Would be interested to see where you take things after the jam, if you choose to do! Well done! Would appreciate your feedback on our game in this last hour! Cheers!

I love these types of games! I played it with a smile on my face. Now I'll be wondering what would happen next 😂 Great job!

A creative and very natural fit to the theme all smothered in wavy gravy!

Developer

Absolutelly hits too close to home and this totally wasn't me in 2005. I love games that incorporate PC UIs and this one has a lot of mystery unfolding that unfortunately is too short of an experience to properly answer. Genuinely my only gripe with the game is its length, as it causes the looping aspect of it to not really be fully utilized, but I love the concept and crave for more. Otherwise, all the polish that went into making the game feel like an old-school install of windows is very cool.

Developer

Thanks so much! Really encouraging for future work!

Really unique, love your take on the theme, and love the vibe! The UI is a little broken on my ultra-wide monitor, but you should be able to fix that by forcing a normal 16:9 resolution.

Overall the aesthetic and story was super cool. Great job!

Thanks so much! So glad you liked it. I’ll definitely look into adding more screen options. Appreciate the feedback!
