The atmosphere grabbed me from the first second: the Phoenix BIOS boot screen with a Pentium 4 and DSL, then a login prompt where you type your own handle and get "last seen: 2003.11.04" back. Jacking in drops you onto a moody hex-grid network with a 10:00 run timer, and I loved that kite immediately calls you by your handle ("...idle? is that actually you?", "two years without a word") before setting up a fake practice job to copy payroll_2006.xls from the accountant's machine. The neon-on-dark look and the 2006 details make it feel like a lost game from that era, and the idea that crashed PCs stay dead the next night is a great persistent-world hook.

Amazing game. I really enjoyed all the details put into every computer. Although the visual filter at least for me makes some of the file names hard to read. I also really enjoy that your actions have serious consequences in this game, makes the game feel way more alive.

Incredible submission! This game really captures the feeling of "snooping" into people's business via hacking their computers, and does a great job of simulating hacking in a very fun and juicy way. I absolutely loved the narrative and could have played for much longer, but I want to rate other games, haha. I will be back, no doubt about it.

One thing I think I was missing was more stakes. Like something I needed to be making the money for (like rent, or debt or hospital bills) aside from upgrades. Something that made me feel, in a narrative way, like I should take the risky jobs.

Other than that, no notes. Really loved everything about playing this one. Fantastic artstyle, theme, story and execution. :D
