How does your game fit the theme?
Two countdowns. Both start when you find the entry point — an archived demo buried in one of the projects on the machine. Until then it's a portfolio with nothing running. Session memory. An untrusted session gets a hard working-memory cap, shown counting down in KB on screen. Every command spends some. At zero it counts out 3, 2, 1 and restarts the session. The erase. A process is wiping the drive. It's at 60% when the countdown starts and advances 5% on every restart — including the ones the memory cap forces on you. At 100% it finishes. The two feed each other: running out of memory costs you drive. The ending is a choice between the command that stops the count and the one that completes it.

Excellent job, even though some of it may have gone over my head. Lots of attention to detail in the story, visuals, and sound design. The console interface felt especially good (better than a regular console). Great job! Here's the playtest @02:27:36

Even though it took me a long time, it was still a lovely and enjoyable game to play. Well done, and keep it up :).

Loved the console UI (linux nerd here)! Took a while to understand what was going on but with a bit of help of the description got unstuck. Loved the game! Congrats!

Incredible game. Managed to figure it out without the help segments in the description. Really cool that you still have full access to the CV after completing the game, and that all the github repos are actual repos that you can look through and interact with. This is all just the gameplay. The sound design is top notch, the visual presentation while simple is exactly what this game needs. So much to this. I completed the story and I still feel like there's so much more to learn... Amazing game.

Although I didn't figure out how to play, but this texture and the sound of typing is so amazing!

Everything fits really well together like the art style, sounds and story. Very polished!

I'll need to return to this but so far I'm intrigued. Also making me recall my computer science days should be a crime, but I'll let that slide this time pal /j
