You're Norton, the last chance to save this computer. Norton's job is to keep the system from collapsing from overload. Norton, being a cute little antivirus, has to protect the computer from the vicious worms and trojan horses, and unveil the cause of this infestation.

You will have to know when to fight and when to retreat, because your weight is not your friend, and can lead to a rather unstable experience.

Oh, and keep in mind you might get a surprise when attacking your enemies.

Tips:
- If a platform collapses and keeps you from progressing, try using a fan to glide further!
- If you're really stuck and no fan can help you, you can always restart using the escape button.
- If the graphics are too demanding, you can turn off the most demanding effects from the in-game menu.
- Platforms glow depending on the current weight on them. If they start shaking, run!
- If a platform doesn't start glowing when you step on it, it's not because you lost weight (sorry), but because it's a sturdy one that won't collapse no matter what. Cherish those!

Controls:
- WASD to move
- E to interact
- Space to jump and glide
- Left mouse button to attack
- Escape to open the in-game menu

(Edit: Hotfixed interactables getting disabled, navmesh generation bugged, no game audio and wrong menu showing on death, sorry about that :grimacing:)
