How does the game relate to the theme (Haunted)?
The computer is acting a bit weird somehow? Maybe find out if its haunted or not? :)
What optional themes/'powerups' were used, if any (Psychedelic and Machine)?
None unfortunately. I mean technically, the computer is a machine xD

Liking the amount of games based in old PC's this jam, noice. Like how stuff like making the windows fullscreen, changing the sizes, pressing enter for "OK"etc. worked. That was neat. And the CRT-blur effect with the mouse pointer. Along with shutdown workin' to exit the game. Lotsa cool stuff, and a neat way of using a haunted machine fighting back like that for a spooky game.
Windows activation on the desktop background made me chuckle haha.
Rad stuff and awesome work.
Thank you for trying it out! I'm glad you liked the details I added with the interactions!
As a big fan of 4th wall games, this experience was great!! I'm a big puzzle fan and ARG/4th Wall types of puzzles are my close second, right next to logic puzzles
Thank you for trying it out! I'm glad you enjoyed the experience!
This was so good! So many different elements worked well to create an experience that was really immersive and very unsettling. The fourth wall breaks were my favorite parts and I really enjoyed the subtle story telling of what happened to Eli and what he's become.
Thank you for giving it a go! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the experience!
Awesome work! Unfortunately the linux version doesn't recognise text input so I wasn't able to delete or archive anything (unless that was part of the whole experience?). But very cool - the creepiness was it knowing where I was in the world :D
Thank you for trying it out! That's a very interesting issue, it's definitely not intentional. It should've been able to recognise your text input and autocorrects it to either Keep or Delete depending on which one you choose . I don't have a Linux system, so I wasn't able to test it, which is such a bummer since that sounds like a game-breaking bug. Sorry that you weren't able to get the full experience!
Dude this was so cool and so fun! The entire presentation is so cohesive and great. Kudos for telling a complete story. I really liked the horrific modifications to the images. It's very small, but I liked that typing was just pressing any key and auto-filling. Congrats on making a really cool game for the jam!
Thank you so much for giving it a go! I'm glad you had fun!
I wish there was a Web build. This game looks interesting. If not, could you upload a walkthrough at least?
Unfortunately, some of the game's components needs to be in Windows or Linux build to work. Web build wouldn't work. Some parts of it is also a personalised experience so a walkthrough wouldn't work unfortunately sorryyy
No worries. I'll see if I can get it to work.
i LOVE meta games!! so so good
Thank you for giving it a go!! I'm glad you liked the meta-ness of the game! xD
no, but for real!! I really liked it. the game feels very polished. the graphics, sound and storyline so cool! (using your own photos make me giggle). short and sweet
it reminds me of a meta project I worked on last year, if u curious look up for denet.exe on my page (no pressure just saying)
Thank you!! I appreciate your kind words!
I did saw your project when I was looking at ur profile earlier. I'll definitely have a look later when I have the time!
I found this game to be bit horrifying. As this reminded me of the time 2004-06, i was very small.
and i used to be alone at home. when the computer would act out in between -- i would really jump out to restart it -- to keep it safe.
Great game 👏👏
Thank you for trying out the game! I'm glad it reminds you of the early 2000s vibe which is exactly what I was aiming for!
I like the idea of having a computer in-game
it reminds me of fears to fathom
the game is really polished
Thank you for trying it out! I'm flattered that this game reminds you of fears to fathom.
and a game called "scrutinized", your game gives me a lot of nostalgia, really great game im keeping it for later
I haven't heard about that game, I'll definitely look into it more!
This game is really scary! The concept really interesting too. I always like horror game that have unique ideas. Great work!
Thank you for trying it out! I'm happy to see that you find the game scary xD
