I liked the idea. It's a cool game, it would be even better if we could use the keyboard to close popup windows. Great job.

I loved this! The feeling of windows 10 was perfect, and i can still hear the err.. oh, wait.

I love it, I think it's really interesting take on the theme with strong game play and presentation.

The only 'problem' I have is that it looks so much like windows explorer I keep trying to use standard keyboard shortcuts.

@dmtroy Thanks so much, that amazing to hear! Such shortcut were definitely in our to-do list but didn't have time to get to it! Thanks again!

This was a reaaally fun little game, the files and graphics were very very well done, and at first glance from the screenshots I really though this was actual malware.

Enjoyed it very much, with nothing much to complain about.

Great game i loved it, but it could've really used some more features i know that you were tied on time but you made such a great game that works perfectly with the theme .
Hope i see more games made by you!
Dont hesitate to give my game a try!

This is probably the most innovative implementation of the "Running out of space" theme and it also very well done, the Windows interface looks almost as good as the real thing. Now if only I could navigate using the keyboard arrows and go to the previous folder using backspace...

Haha, awesome work recreating Windows 10, I love it! I did not feel comfortable having those file names on my screen when I was playing this in public though...

It was so well made, whenever errors came up I was scared they were for my computer, not the game, and it just added to the experience

The idea is really good and realisation is also. I really like how you recreated windows in your game. It feels like you are on the desktop of your windows. Good job !!!

Hey there, liked the idea behind your game. Also I felt like when I was on my computer, being scared of deleting random stuff that had weird names and could cause my computer to crash :P

When I saw the folders I thought you scanned my hard drive and got the names, and then when I saw XxX_PornAnal_XxX.mp4 I thought you scanned for files too... just kidding my folder names are different.

In all seriousness though this game was really cool, great use of the theme and you emulated so well Windows 10 it was giving me virus ptsd.

I think a few minor improvements could be made (if it had any of these ignore it): navigating with keyboard, multi select, some things like that.

I think I can honestly say hands down this is the most immersive game I've ever played ;) Good job

haha, i really like games that sort of break the fourth wall. it was kind of a slow gameplay but fun nevertheless. thanks!

Loved this game, I want to put it on my friends computer for April Fools day lol. Everything from the sounds, the Pop Ups, the loading screens were very convincing. I kept hitting my windows key to make sure all my real files were there!

You recreated the Windows interface very well. You even added boot screen & BSOD, that's really cool :smiley:

I was also amused by the fact that you can navigate between folders not only using the menu on the left, but also through the top breadcrumb.

However, I have to say that the game gets boring pretty quickly. For me, it was fun to play only for the first time :slight_frown:

Great job on recreating a windows OS, really! So much little details that make it immersive:! The gameplay was not very fun, but I understand that it was not your main focus. Very solid work ;)

Wow, great job creating such a detailed file system in such a short time! Lost so much time on the "allow file explorer to make changes" when deleting viruses from the OS folders. But you should probably disable your audio rating since the sounds used are not original.
