I couldn't figure out how to progress, went all over the room pressing E on everything, sat down several times, tried to "drag" the screen or the chair with my mouse, jump out the window, rotate the tab in the computer in a spiral all over the monitor to summon something (xD) and change its size in different ways or go lie on by very comfortable looking bed... Couldn't find the way to unlock summoning.

However, I wanted to mention that I really liked some small detailes you put in. Like the time piece shows current time from my computer, and the date (save the year ofc) is the same. Also, it says "logged in as Xiaomi" and that's my laptop's brand so that's probably me :D

Also, the atmosphere feels great. Makes me want to explore this world and find out more. I read the forums, the entries are funny :) So the game is not scary but has a nice unsettling note to it thanks to the audio and the scenery.

The mountains look gorgeous, I really wish I wasn't encarcerated in this room xD And the theme of Old Tech is interpreted in an interesting way, using anachronistic approach.

I still have it downloaded so if you give me a hint maybe I could play a bit more!

@kanity Thanks! I added a step-by-step solution to the itch page (the LD page doesn't support spoiler tags).

@alaah Thank you! I peeked Step 1, and gotta say I didn't even realise I can do that :') I will try again!

Hard to understand the message in this game, even with step by step. Because there are no any indicator that you did something right when you hit items on table. But I loved the details in magic mirror and really nice sound of hitting something on the table

Those angular red mountains under the heavy grey sky look striking. The very simple colours give the landscape a lonely, otherworldly feel - a great visual introduction to a surreal little adventure.

Yeah I have to admit I ended up checking almost every step in the walkthrough ^^' but I liked the overall concept and the humour of the game! It was funny and not too long :) Confusing, sure, but I enjoyed it (with the walkthrough xD)

Great game – my favorite part was the epic judo battle between Altman and Musk! /ref

I really like how this game looks. The combination of dark red tones and the sky gives it a Martian feel.

Hope to play it tomorrow. I don’t have a Windows PC with me right now :(

I needed the first step of the tutorial, didn't realize there was a reply function lol. I then obviously replied to every possible message. I enjoyed my playthrough! Not sure why it abruptly ended like it did after I summoned when trying to fix the låååmp.

I really liked the vibe of this game and the weird combination of tech wizards. Modern science is like magic, so it makes sense. It's funny how the world immediately feels alive with just a few forum posts, while we're just stuck in our basement chugging mana potions all day while banging random things on the desk.

Also I can't believe you had that epic fight in the background, really makes the mountains pop when they explode due to the impact of musks corpse when that elephant slams him into it. It's not just a striking visual, it also delivers a powerful message that genuinely resonates with me. Good job!
