What Happened to Pinewell?

This seems like a cool idea, but my brain might be tired from jamming, I couldn't work out the bestfriend password and couldn't seem to click anything else. Looks cool though!

That was a fun game！I quite like how it's never the same name, ID numbers or password in a new playthrough. The audio used in the storytelling was a very nice touch too - especially near the end. Well done!

Maybe I'm dumb, but like the other guy said, I couldn't figure out the password in the opening scene. I tried dog, bff, password, pinewell, couldn't click on anything and couldn't find any hints in the description. Shame, graphics look good and it looks fun.

Very creative use of the theme! I like games where you have to explore a computer space, and this was well done! I managed to upload the files and get the message received, but could not do anything about the timer running out. I had a lot of fun with this, it could only be better with more to find. Excellent work!

Cool game, impressive operating system recreation and puzzling! I regularly went through the cycle of "where the hell do I find this information" to "oh wait could this be related?" all the way to "AHHH that's definitely it". Great work!

Very clever little puzzle game. I noticed that the information needed to proceed changes with each playthrough, which is a nice detail.

Wow, that was awesome. A really tight and enjoyable experience; great job on replicating the old Windows look! Had a lot of fun clicking around and interacting with the emails, lol. My favorite part was how the music ramped up during the "uploading" part, it really added a lot to the tension and atmosphere. The ending was also a really nice touch, bravo :)

For anyone who is confused about how to get past the first password - Look at the files visible on the desktop, and the password 'hint'.

I really like how the interface feels very reminiscent of windows xp! the puzzles are nice, too. For the original password i had to look into the comments here for help though x) overall cool game!

This was really good, only wish there was more!

Hey! We made a similar game! The first time i heard the knock sound i had headphones on and it startled me very much. Nice game!

Awesome game, it was super fun trying to figure out how to get access to the information. The countdown music and the sound effects near the end made me jump and got me on edge. Great work!

Cool vibes, especially loved the aesthetic and the audio at the climax!

Great job!

I love the procedurally generated clues! That's an amazing details. I have to get back to work I'll continue the case later on!

Really Exciting game. The music as a very nice melody but is a bit repetitive though, it could use longer breaks between loops or lines as something more ambient.

So tense, I have played several times, is there alternate endings? I managed to upload just in time, I think, but then... Is there something after that?

This was a pretty cool puzzle game, loved the interface!

Very cool game, I like the ending and your music and sfx for it--really well done.

That was solid. Took me a minute to actually get into the headspace, but once I did, the puzzles were fun. Great job, and excellent vibes!

I like how the first password was the hardest! :smile_cat: Really cool game... hopefully next me will do better.

What an ending :dizzy_face:

What an incredible atmospheric experience, great job!

@dhim Thank you for your feedback! While there is a goal, the game ends the same way whether or not you achieve it. The only difference is whether or not you recieve the confirmation message from "Unknown Sender."
