This was incredible! Great job capturing the eerie melancholic vibe, I spent the whole gaming in anticipation of what horrible fate befell August. I'm a little sad to not have an answer to that, but man if that isn't artistic af. The bullet hell portions were insanely fun; I appreciate that you only made the player restart the one encounter when they fail, and not the entire section. Your world-building was beautiful, and I love how you told it through realistic chat logs and notes-to-self. My only issue is that clicking X on a window would carry that click action to the window below it, but that's a minor bug that can be solved by changing to "On Pressed Up" rather than "On Pressed Down." Excellent job!!
Nice! You've nailed an aesthetic that really works in your story's favor. The puzzle-y bits are simple enough for stupid people like me, which is always appreciated.
This is a very small issue, but I think worth noting if you have any future plans for this. Hitting the "x" button of a window that was over another window closed both windows. Just a little something that bugged me at first.
Overall, really cool. Plus, I'm a sucker for a game with good writing, and the writing here really works for me. Great work.
This was genuinely a really, really great game. The subtle worldbuilding through text logs and notes, the foreshadowing that things aren't quite what they seem, the puzzles made of having to piece together scraps of what feels like another life, one that we only see the shadow on the wall of. So many details that would have been easy to call redundant and cut - but their inclusion made the entire thing feel just so satisfying.
The interface was clunky, but that was a deliberate design choice - and the action sequences felt amazing, even if there were times when I struggled to get through. The "You Are An Idiot" page was genuinely difficult to get through - the only time I felt an unfair difficulty spike - but the feel of progressing through was awesome.
The end reveal of the story is hollow - but it works, because it's addressed in satisfying way. It was genuine poetry, that ending - especially the sudden cut to black, with little fanfare.
This was a short but sweet experience. My only wish was that I wish it was longer.
Nice dude! I like the ambience and overall graphics! cozy.
tysm for playing but the game wasn't meant to be cozy, like at all😭if you haven't, please try to play the full game!! like 99% of it is hidden behind the first password puzzle-
Ah mb lol i guess i just liked the visuals a little too much😂
Love this so much! Can't even think of any real meaningful feedback to give. Incredible work!
I really liked the story building. My only gripe is that I couldn't see what password I was typing in, so I wasn't sure if I made a typo or not.
The conversation with the friend feels very authentic, it’s great. I also liked the atmosphere of the PC screen. The sound effects are excellent. Good game!
Awesome, my wife played this game and enjoyed it very much and only needed my help on the final boss at the end! No complaints, perfect game
Well done, I liked your game, though the part where you have to click the spinning icon while it moves around was too challenging for me, I can't click fast enough so I couldn't go any further.
aww sorry to hear that xP! i encourage you to try to complete it but if it's really too difficult here's a video of someone playing the full thing at around the 4:24:30 mark!
big fan of desktop style games and you nailed the vibe for this. big lore fan over here of any game ever so this was fun to unpack and explore, could definitely continue the concept!
ty goat you won me a $5 bet
Great game, the passwords are thought out. Loved the music for the "refresh" scene, really fits the aestheic and vibes!
Really cool game! puzzles were so well thought out and not too hard to solve!
nice game!!! Loved the windows 95 style
Great logic puzzles and mini games! Excellent Work!
This is just so cool for the length of the jam! The mouse click is very satisfying, i felt like i was really using an old computer in real life :))
One of my top favorite games in this jam so far. Really well designed progression and felt super polished. I hope you keep working on it!
THIS IS SO COOL!!!!!! The audio and visuals were great, the storyline was interesting, and I really liked the action segments. Only issue was closing out of a tab sometimes closed the previous tab too.
This game is so good, I started reading all the text even though i had already found the answer
Tough but enjoyable, and generally very well-polished. I liked the overall vibes and way the story was told, with some solid worldbuilding throughout despite the short runtime, good use of resources. My only point would be that I'd prefer being able to hold the mouse down but otherwise I liked the challenge and way it was put together. Great visuals!
Super cool and original puzzle/story game that got me really invested in characters that you never see on screen. This is peak story driven game and the fact that this was made for a jam makes it even cooler. Great stuff!!
