The ARG aspect was pretty interesting, but the gameplay was lackluster. There was really no story but what I assume is that the file is the uninvited guest, which, when put in the newgame folder, possesses the game world and becomes free

I mean, the gameplay wasn't that special, but the idea to require moving files around was really interresting, it's fun to think about, what would be possible with a meachanic like this in a bigger game :)

It was strange but funny) First, I launched the game, and there was a dance. Then, I replaced the old game file with the new one, and everyone died. Now, someone is free. I didnโ€™t understand anything but I like idea with replacing game file to change levels!

Nice ARG idea! Don't see a lot of games where you need to mess with the game's files. Thanks for not blowing my headphones out in the ending

  • I'm sure it doesn't help that I'm playing on a toaster of a PC but the flashing lights were INTENSE. Made it hard to see what I was doing sometimes.
  • The description implies something else spooky/scary to encounter but I didn't see it. Maybe I just didn't play long enough?
  • I was able to figure out how to pick up the buckets because of playing lots of other games in my life but it's not at all explained how to do that.

The game looks great and controls well. Just wish there was more to do and that it was better explained.

The click all should be fixed and you can edit it to what it really is.
