Honestly amazing game. I love horror mysteries and this is by far the best one I've seen. It was just the right amount of creepiness and thrills. Every time the computer glitched I got goosebumps.
I also loved the story, it had me on the edge of my seat and my heart dropped when I read each letter. This game gets a 5/5 from me. GREAT WORK :D
More ppl need to play this game, its a shame only 40 ppl have played it

Really impressive amount of stuff done for a game jam! I love this 2000s vibe, and the audio is super well done.
Great Job ! :D

The Last BeaconIn the middle of the game, google suddenly intruded and asked if i wanted to save the 'password'. Real life google! Not in-game google. You can imagine my reaction. Immersive enough, lol. Don't play in window mode if you don't want that kind of immersion like me. One of the best game i played in this jam. It is so well made. Love this. The old windows aesthetic, the picture you created, the music, the case, the flow, all perfect!

The Madmans RoomWow! This game was awesome! Probably one of the few I've played to the end. One of my favs of the fest. This isn't even really my type of game, but it's really well done-- love the atmosphere, the old school vibes, and it's genuinely creepy and mysterious. I can definitely see this as a full longer game.

The Guild Master Is Watching!Amazing game, liked the story and the twists. Visuals were amazing. A shame is kinda short, perfect for a jam, but definetly there is a lot of potential here.

Beyond a Reasonable DoubtWOW the UI felt so real - I can tell a ton of work went into making it feel like a real computer! I got stuck on one part where i clicked on one of the articles via the group chat message i believe and i couldn't figure out that i needed to find a second article until i looked at the cheat sheet, so really appreciate having that handy while giving players the ability to hunt around for the answers freely (: i was so immersed in it - would definitely be interested in an expanded version of this post-jam! 10/10 amazing

Forged in SecrecyYour game reminded me of the movie Unfriended: Dark Web at the beginning
The story, UI and interaction system are great, well done!

A Past JourneyInteresting idea and great realisation, well done! I'm kinda disappointed there were no ghosts though.
Or weren't there?

Grimoire ForestCool little experience, love your visuals. The game looks and sounds great.
You've managed to keep your focus tight and it shows. Everything just flows nicely, great show of respect for your player's time.
Having the ending explained at the end may be a bit patronizing however, but that may just be me being prideful.
Excellent entry.
