1980s. Office. Three computers. Noises from doors. We are new employee, who`s gonna check all PCs. We found something. Or someone?.. Anyway. We see just one line. Can I help you? But.. Can you help Me?
AI tools were used only as a programming aid (ai-assisted code: writing and debugging).
This is our first time creating a 3D game and our first time participating in a game jam (not counting one instance where the project turned out pretty poorly), so we’d appreciate some advice on how to improve our skills.
@eklsn Thank you! Almost from the very beginning, when we started exploring this topic, we came up with the idea of an assistant like Clippy from Microsoft Office—but in the form of a virus that wants to steal files. We also based the theme on the ciphers that were in use at the time (mostly DES, of course, but we wanted to create a progression, so we added the Caesar and Vigenère ciphers). I hope you enjoyed playing!
A simple but really good concept, and very well executed! My only complaint is that the text on the decoder is hard to read. Sometimes the symbols are barely visible, so you have to guess what they are.
@anku Thanks! Unfortunately, it's because of the screen resolution, but you could say it all comes down to the atmosphere and setting, hahaha 😅. When I checked it out, I saw it myself and thought, “Damn, this is actually cooler this way! I think it'll look better this way than at a higher resolution.”
Found a bug: pressing the spacebar while playing in fullscreen causes the game to crash. overall nice game! If you have some spare time, feel free to drop by our page and try out our entry as well. Would love to hear your feedback!
Pretty cool and unique game, really like the overall. I did find that the last computer was a bit confusing, the note in the desk could've been written a little better. But overall it is a pretty cool game, has potential for more.
@dracco-0n We hadn't even considered using the spacebar, which is why we didn't realize there was such a bug - thanks for the feedback! I think we'll play through your game soon and give you some feedback - good luck!
@neeko69 Thank you! I personally thought I had explained everything quite clearly, but the problem is that we aren't native English speakers, so we can't fully assess the accuracy of the machine translation. We would appreciate it if you could provide some specific details; that would be very helpful to us.
@ernar Don't worry, I'm not a native english speaker as well. The letter says "The name is in the boss's letter on the next computer" that "next" made me confused, as there is no "next computer" in a sense that there isn't a 4th one, but the letter is on the second one. I think maybe a better could be "The name is in the boss's letter on the second computer"
@neeko69 Oh, now I get it. Sorry about that - we were in a rush to release the game, so we didn't have time to thoroughly check the text for accuracy. Thanks for your help!
@kseny Спасибо! Нам было бы очень интересно узнать, что именно вам понравилось и что, по вашему мнению, мы могли бы добавить. Если у вас есть какие-либо идеи, буду рад их услышать!
