A surreal adventure into an old OS. Greetings Stranger,
I do not know how this Machine came into your possesion, however I am certain that it is a matter of fate. What is hidden in the depths of these files is of the utmost importance. I cannot in good conscience ask you to unearth the secrets that lie ahead, but I have no choice. I beg you. Venture forth, DEEPER AND DEEPER.
Regretfully, A hopeless soul.
(FULLSCREEN RECOMMENDED)
Sadly the build we managed to upload before the deadline was broken, so we were only able to upload a Post-Jam version about 10 minutes after. You can also download a Windows Version if the Web Player is broken for you. Sadly we can't support every Screen resolution right now, so let us know if you have issues.
I was only able to decipher the first password as well, but I loved the atmosphere and concept. Maybe I'll try again later when my brain is working a little better!
I had issues with the downloaded version, the mouse was stuck in the lower left quadrant of the screen, I really enjoyed what I was able to play. I'll come back and finish if that gets fixed
I loved this game, tho i did figure out the password to the main file, i couldnt get the pass for the coordinates, maybe is my fault that i cant remember where the north/south is haha
A really nice game! I know these two guys only had a few hours to get it done, since I worked with them on my last project till sunday night. Great outcome for such a short period of development!
I really liked the graphics and corrupted pc mood! Took me some time to get the first password, guess I should have slept longer!
@nanda@wandersen I'm using 1366x768, things seemed a bit squashed but aside from an issue with clicking the button to start the game it played fine. I'm glad I got to play the rest of it because it was really good and I wish it was longer. The screen shader was pretty awesome but I have to give mad props to whoever did the dithering on the background image.
@mmason Thanks a lot! I'm glad you could play it after all. If you mean the desktop wallpaper that was me but you can actually dither like that in one click with Aseprite ;D
Also we're thinking about fleshing the game out properly, so if you're interested in that you can follow us either on itch or twitter (@starbannergames and @WandersenCS). Would be much appreciated :)
I like the vibe and the atmosphere and I kept playing until I finished it. Good job! My only "but" is that I managed to unlock the final password having missed the previous one (just by guessing) so I had still one folder to unlock and I missed part of the story.
The short, but well executed, game shows a lot of potential for future add-ons. There was one thing that kind of bothers me, and that was being able to guess the final solution without having to solve all prior puzzles. All in all I enjoyed the playthrough a lot and hope for more content in the future! :D
This game is super intriguing. I love the indie wave of simulated OS's. Sadly I couldn't finish the game, I always got a game over when openen chaos.exe and didnt find out the temple log password. I wrote @wandersen on twitter to avoid spoilers here in the comments.
Other than that, super enjoyable and the perfect music choice!

@poweranze the game at the moment is only consisting of three puzzles an we deliberately kept the main file to finish the game on the desktop itself so that clever people could skip a few things (why they would want that is their choice), if you want to get in contact on Twitter my handle is @WandersenCS :)
Wow! this is so cool! It's kind of similar to what I did. It's cool that other people thought about old OSs and the internet etc. when given the theme. There's a lot in this that I think would have improved my entry quite a bit. The tactile feedback from clicks and typing feels so good and the screen filter really adds to the vibe. Very Nice and polished feel!
This is super cool, how did you make this thing in a jam!? Feels really polished, I wish it woul've been a bit longer, but it's pretty awesome anyway, just made me eager for more puzzles. Great job!! Loved it
The idea reminded me of our own game from a year past, Hype Dream which also was a old OS simulation in some parts but in more Instagram-like, pastel palette so when I saw your game I had to play a "dark and creepy" version of this concept :D And I'm glad I did so! Excellent, one of the best entries I played so far! Thank you for this amazing experience.
Thanks for submitting your game for me to play on stream! I played it yesterday. You can watch me play it here (at 4:04).
Unfortunately, my mic was off at the time, and I didn't realize it until someone in chat pointed it out later. So, here's my thoughts:
I really like the concept of piecing together a story by going through files on a computer. The aesthetic was pretty cool, too. The puzzles weren't too difficult - I figured out what the password for the "Chaos" folder was after the first two clues - but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It was pretty short, and I found myself wanting more at the end, but the content you already have is well polished.

@ladybenko yeah we know haha. We will probably expand the theme with more users and deeper puzzles
:D
Nothing to add
Other than that, super enjoyable and the perfect music choice!
