You are on an old computer trying to connect to the internet. Explore the desktop, collect the credentials you need, and maybe meet some familiar friends along the way.

This is a narrative game with light puzzle elements, so be sure to talk to characters more than once: they may have new things to say as you progress!

This is my first-ever Bitsy game, made in 48 hours for Ludum Dare 60! Please be kind <3

It was really fun learning how to work with Bitsy! The engine has its quirks, but it's fun to work with at the end of the day. I wish I'd had more time to spend on figuring out the audio side of things, but that'll be for a future jam (or maybe even a future iteration of this game? o_~)

The source code (.bitsy file) can be downloaded on the itch.io page included with this submission.

Credit to my partner for playtesting, and also for being a great sounding board for design ideas <3

A little rough on mobile, but still doable. Nice nostalgia trip. The emoji being mildly malicious is a great touch. ;)

@b4ux1t3 Thank you! The default Bitsy mobile experience is a little rough, I agree - upon doing some quick research, it sounds like there are ways to hack the javascript to improve the experience, so I may dig into that some more for my next Bitsy game (or if I revisit this one) to make things a little more accessible!

Fun little game! It did make me quite nostalgic, and the writing was good enough that I found myself a little disappointed when it ended, I wanted to see how mouse would react to all the insane things going on in the future! Anyways, nice entry :)

Shoulda encrypted those passkeys...
Really liked the nostalgic references, and how self aware Clippy- I mean Clippert and Clipford are

Great idea! A loop across computers, I’m really looking forward to more shining text. Who would refuse a cute emoji not getting too close? 😄
