- Atmospheric story game with very nice pixel art and a surprisingly immersive mood. I liked walking around and piecing together what happened, and the machine virus idea fits the theme well.

Clean graphics and a brilliantly created atmosphere
Atmospheric story game with very nice pixel art and a surprisingly immersive mood. I liked walking around and piecing together what happened, and the machine virus idea fits the theme well.
The pixel art looks good. The ambient music is nice but maybe a bit too chill for the story...
I found myself skipping dialogue because it was repeating in a row. It may be a good idea to disable the intro dialogue interaction listener after the player goes through it once.
The key in the dungeon should disappear similar to the floppy disks. It was confusing if the character took it or not especially since there is no inventory.
The walk cycle is rubbish - it looks like the character is bending the knees in the wrong direction... Needs to be redone. Apologies for being so direct.
I chose the ending where I reset the computer. Nothing happened then - just returned to the main menu. That's anticlimactic. I guess you didn't have time for the jam and you are going to make it more interesting after.
I'm curious to see what happens with the other ending.
This game has potential to expand. Good luck!
Thanks for the thoughtful feedback — really appreciate you taking the time to play and be direct.
A few quick responses:
Thanks again — feedback like this really helps us improve the game. :)
I couldn't beat the battle level there were some bugs while conversation was going my guy was getting killed repeatedly, etc. Interesting story and pixel art.
Thanks for the feedback, we'll make sure to go over those bugs and try to squish them :)
The game didn't quite fit on my screen, but that didn't detract from the experience :) The visuals are gorgeous, great job!
Thanks! We appreciate it :)
Classic story, odd mix of genres, a bit clunky controls. And yet... I was immersed completely until the very end. Good work.
Thanks :) We plan on updating the game in the future. I'm glad you played until the end, thank you once more.
I really enjoyed walking around and figuring out what happened. Loved the story!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it :). We plan on expanding on it and fixing a few things in the future 😄
Cool short story and the combat level at the end was a nice addtion.
Thank you! We do want to work on it in the future, fixing some stuff, and overall expanding on it.
