The unstable genius has purchased a pirated copy of the Ludum Dare 49 winning game! Can you help him to get it running? It's up to you in this escape the room like game with amazing Video Production and a budget of over -$0
This game... Is why I love LD... I can't believe how much you've done. That video was hilarious and the whole concept after that portrays so well testing game jam games :) Always something wrong stopping the game from starting.
I felt like a real h4x0r when I figured this out, great job! The little touches like the opening video, the torrent file, and a few others (no spoilers) were really welcome. The puzzle was the perfect level of difficulty too. Great job!
Really captured the agony that I've been through to play some game entries in the past. However, it does make me miss the days of putting games on CDs or disks and giving them to friends. Nice use of video and sound clips.
XD - You're crazy man ^^. Do me a favor and make a 10 minute short film using your acting and voice acting skills :). Your game is a good snapshot of my everyday life and of the LDJAM in general. I had to give it a high score.
Can we see you on twitch or so? You have THAT remarkable face, you know? ^^ I foresee a great career!
A very entertaining entry, man i really wish this was longer, and there were more live action films. The begining short movie sums up whats going through my head during a school exam.
Most fun I had in and LD game. You are amazing. Tho I guess I got stuck on jibberjabber part but maybe that was the end of the game ahaha. If it wasn't, I would play it again
I have nothing but praise for this. Very clever and original idea. This is the reason why I love Ludum Dare. Very funny, quirky and yet reasonably challenging. The intro had me in stitches. You are very talented! Absolutely phenomenal entry. I would expect this game winning the whole Compo!
Super fun, clever experience. Really unique take on the theme. The error codes provided adequate hints such that I was able to make it to the end after a few tries. Nice work :)
Hilarious! I love this game, this is super funny. Especially the dont look folder was cool... The concept was great. I think the audio commentary was excellent, although the music was bit repetative. But otherwise all pure fun.
Good entry! Fits theme, is funny and fun to play. Good job on details like the message when trying to use auth key without actually checking what it is on a second playthrough.
Hahaha, the intro was phenomenal, as are the selfies :'D While the puzzles themselves were a bit easy, I still enjoyed exploring the contents of the different folders! Thank you for this awesome Meta-Game!
Seeing the video at the beginning I was hoping it was one of those old skool Sierra games like Phantasmagoria ;). The actual game was still very funny.
Wow! What an epic and weird game. I love it. I was expecting to run into some key generator music but the key was supplied lol. Really fun and silly. Great unstable work!
Could have used more ascii-art and virus laden keygens--but the intro video sound effects were top notch! Not sure what you were aiming for difficulty-wise but it was achievable in the attention span I had for it if perhaps a bit short. Nice entry!
One of the best things about ludum dare is when you see games that are a little bit experimental or try something new and different. This isn't the first game to have live-action cut-scenes, or to be set within a fictional O.S., but together with the off-kilter sense of humor, it's enough to make it feel quirky and interesting.
The game is just the right size, too. it's large enough to be satisfying, but small enough that it never gets boring or has parts that were obviously unfinished. I say this mostly because I always find managing the scope to be difficult in the short time-frame of the compo.
If I had to find one thing to complain about, it would be that the music doesn't quite loop properly (at least on my computer), which I found surprisingly distracting.
For now... the one entry that I spend the most time on .... good choice with the music style. Big congrats on an off the normal path entry.... way of that path
Haha! Love it! The execution of this gem is just spot on. I have never seen a full motion video in an LD game before, and the puzzle factor is just great. It really feels like something that could be real. After a while I found out what to do with that license haha, the sound system is very interesting aswell, I did not expect that the music was playing from within the OS :P
This game was hilarious I loved the little challenges especially cause those problems feel just as random as real pc ones do too lol, also fun to see a fellow Canadians game I noticed because of the money lol. Great job super innovative and funny. I also loved the hidden photos folder nice touch
Freaking fantastic experience. You had me at the live-action sequences, but the rest of the game proved to be really entertaining. Kudos for all the small details, like the authenticator.
Strenghts : Hilarious sequences (live-action, interactions) So many details (authenticator, …) Not impossible to complete that these games sometimes are
This was hilarious and as a fan of escape room style games I really appreciated this one. Great job! One note is that it was sometimes hard to find the window you wanted and bring it into focus.
Had my laughs while playing this! The intro is just perfect, the idea and implementation are great. "Quests" are intuitive and satisfying to solve! Creative piece of art! XD
I had a really really fun time playing this. Although it had not addictive gameplay loop, and I drag and drop stuff everyday, doing it here was actually fun!
This game had so much character! I mean it. Other games I've played for the jam have done some things amazingly well, but none of those had so much character that I'll remember them in time for LD50. The intro cutscenes, the humor, everything. Well done!
Love the usage of recorded videos at the start! Struggled a bit with drag-dropping the ld game file into the main folder for some reason. Overall really fun game, good job!
for all the kids out there.. if a dude wants to sell you the ld49 winner game full fixed packaged for windows.. you probly should get out of there quick! this was a cool game with funky videos nice job i had a fun time!
I love the theming of ludum dare and having my very own page to play around with haha. The game itself was well polished and worked well with the windows. I love how you used real life videos and images to make it feel like a more complete experience.
The puzzle was cute and I liked that there was extra content to look around through. Great job overall and thanks for submitting it for me to try \o/
Well, this game gets 5 stars in humor purely based off the opening video sequence with Simlish dialogue. I love the tounge-in-cheek feeling of this whole game, and the idea for the gameplay here is really creative while still fitting the theme well. This game is especially impressive, considering it was made for the compo. Nice work, overall.
This game is really unique, and the opening video is amazing. I wished there was more to it (unless I missed something? I played it twice and think I found most of the interactions). Regardless, what was there was very entertaining. Good job!
I finally managed to finish the gameplays and uploaded the game session for this game. I hope you like it and that my comments can be understood as those most interested in enabling improvements to the project.
Thank you for requesting this gameplay!

Well, I got stuck after activating the Jibber Jabber client. I don't know what to say... It's perhaps not the game for me.. sorry. It IS pretty cool that you implemented operating system tabs, however.

Awesome to find a live action game.
Can we see you on twitch or so?
You have THAT remarkable face, you know? ^^
I foresee a great career!
Good job man!
PS: how did you get a copy of my game?
Unless this game wins the Compo, in which case...
On a side note, that pirated copy seems very expensive, most likely more expensive than actually buying the game lmao
I lived through the pain of getting something to work and getting an error time after time. Thank you for that:D
While the puzzles themselves were a bit easy, I still enjoyed exploring the contents of the different folders!

Really liked the video intro!! Fun game, amazing for compo.
Good job

That's something I never even thought about ... I guess it was more because it's pre-release? :smile:
I haven't really seen real life elements mixed with video games.
I liked the humor and the mood in the game. I found the game to be pretty funny.
I like the sounds effects that play when you try to run the LD winner program.
I liked your interpritation of the theme.
Overall, Great game. -WitekWitek

The game is not necessarily deep gameplay-wise but the puzzles were quite cool and well designed nontheless.
And I also saved one of your photos to use as a sticker on whatsapp.
