A few things felt a bit unrelated (the download for example), but overall it was a nice (if a bit hard) puzzle to figure out

Glad you enjoyed it.

The hope was the indicate that the bomb was using the WiFi but we didn't quite have time to flesh that part out :/

Was fun when I managed to get it, but some stuff is a bit hard to notice, took me embarrassingly long to find where the vent is I searched every wall.

Thanks for playing! We may have made it a touch too difficult :)

I couldn't figure out how to win. I stuck the cigarette into the vent, placed the long wires, uploaded vhs 1 and 2, downloaded cat stealing simulator and activated the time travel machine, but the bomb still blew up. I found a freeze gun but idk what to do with that. It was a pretty silly game and good background music so good job :)

Thanks. I won't ruin the puzzle for anyone else but I will drop these hints:

1. Think about the order you do things in

2. The bomb works slower when cold

3. 3!

I liked the 3D visuals, but the lighting was a bit lacking, and the button next to Time Machine was hard to see; I spent a long time looking for it.

Overall, I liked the concept; running around frantically trying to figure out how to pause the timer was interesting.

Sorry about the light, it genuinely looked fine on the machine we played it on, but quite a few people have now told us it is too dark. Might have to try put up a v2 with better lighting
