I love the concept behind this game! It did such a great job at building tension. I had a lot of fun, even though I also ended up getting stuck/at a point where the hint didn't help. I'd love a video walkthrough, cause I definitely want to finish this game! Regardless, I'll definitely revisit later.
The idea is nice, just could use something to make the gameplay more engaging.
This is such an interesting concept and I had to get outside help on some of the ways that a command shell would work and I got through most of the diaries but got stuck. Love the idea and execution this was awesome!
I was able to beat it by googling some decryptions but it was super fun! was a really fun puzzle game
So I am someone who LOVES games like this (type-help, the roottrees are dead) so this was right up my alley and I was SUPER excited to see a game like this submitted! I think it's an interesting spin on the theme, and I appreciated how accessible it was for someone that doesn't know a lot about computer "shells" like I do. I was really enjoying it, and will definitely come back to it later!

I got as far as decoding the binary in diary6.txt and then got a little stuck. I agree that the hint system isn't super helpful -- the only hint I ever got was "you may need to use outside websites," which I felt like I understood after the first time I went to a cipher translator. Unless, of course, it's referring to a different website I just didn't find.
Man the hint is useless and it's too difficult as you are not told all the commands required. However I still managed to play but later it made me ragequit. Maybe good for someone who do not want to have fun but a head ache.
I can't play it because im on mobile but im sure its wonderful, im sorry.
