Desktop Explorer

good game, puzzles are actually decent. Make you think and investigate rather than keeping the answer right in front of you, also very wholesome vibes. Gives whimsy horror

the game is interesting, ill give the devs that. thats really my only compliment though. i never played the demo so i went into it pretty blind aside from being under the assumption that its a "desktop explorer" game... >.> act 1 does deliver on this with having to sort through files, find hidden images, etc but then is gone after. act 2 is puzzle based and you are now playing a game within a game. i did enjoy that part but as a different game. i stopped at act 3 because it literally stopped working. idk if i did something wrong but when i eventually looked up a walkthrough, their screen was entirely different than what mine let me see. so who knows. i do have a big gripe with this game though. i love puzzle games. i love investigative games. this game however, is snobby to the max. puzzles with solutions i never in a million years wouldve thought of, extremely tedious puzzles (im talking 20+ min each for the average person to be able to solve), and they were just honestly outright boring. it feels like the dev is a huge try hard for how unnecessarily tedious and ridiculous some of these puzzles are. it feels kinda like a "if youre not smart enough then this game isnt for you" attitude. eventually i got to the point where i had no interest in doing another longwinded puzzle and it was easier to just look up the solution so i could progress the game. im sure there are plenty of people who enjoy the tedious types of puzzles, but youre secluding a huge group of other people by making them as constant as they are in this game. TDLR game is interesting, but focuses very little on the actual OS exploration/investigating aspect and too much on unnecessary puzzles to increase play time. also, please fix the softlocking issue.

I love retro, horror, and puzzles. Had it all. Always happy to find indie treasures like this.

Short but really interesting game! I really loved the aesthetics and the mechanics were brain scratching but really fair! Really recommend this one if you love the old school feel and puzzle games, I have a feeling you will not regret it

差强人意，感觉虎头蛇尾的。推算谜题于我来说太难了（找凶手和国际象棋谜题），卡了很久被迫看攻略。另外国际象棋部分简中汉化是否存在问题？完全没办法满足不正交相邻条件

I had fun, pretty solid puzzles and enjoyed the 90s and 00s computer vibes, reminds me of using the old windows 95 computer my dad kept in the basement.

Probably about halfway through the game, but I am already confident to say it's a minor miracle how well the game emulates a computer interface as well as uses those features to add depth and surprises to the gameplay instead of it just being an UI surrounding a regular puzzle game / visual novel like many of it's peers. When you want to take notes, check the programs tab in your pop up start menu, open the note pad app, resize it to fit around the other windows you have open and start typing a note and hitting save on the file all just running on what intuitively feels 'right' with no help needed, that's absolute magic right there.
