Desktop Explorer

Some really cleaver puzzles! I loved this game and though I may had to search up some of the solutions that's mainly because I'm stupid. But the ones I did solve I felt really smart! But there was one puzzle I HATED it was the first one I couldn't solve on my own >:( SPOILERS AHEAD THIS IS THE PUZZLE I WAS STUCK ON [spoiler] I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hated the code over the crocodile it felt like it was a trail and error kind of code like how was I supposed to know that the number was trying to tell me that it was [x] numbers deep I tried using the 0s above each corresponding puzzle tried just saying the puzzle [x] amount of times tried saying the magic word [x] amount of times. [/spoiler] I just don't know how I was supposed to make it to the solution naturally. every other puzzle is fine though even the ones I couldn't figure out I usually went "oh I can see how you could get to that answer." All's that to say this game is great if you're either smart or are willing to look up answers if you're really stuck. I usually spent like 30 minuets and ripped out some of my hair before looking on the steam discussions page

This puzzle game is incredible. Just the right balance of diverse and difficult puzzles. The story pushes the player through and slowly reveals the details. Great game. A+

Game has very tough puzzles, but the feeling of solving them just feels SO great!. The story to this is so good, It was giving chills the whole way through. I do highly recommend this game to people who enjoy stuff like this!

One of the most creative and fun puzzle/investigative games I have ever played. The puzzles are difficult enough that solving them feels like a great accomplishment because you truly have to put in effort and think outside of the box. Some puzzle games have the issue of being TOO out of the box where the solution is almost impossible without a guide. With Desktop Explorer, I rarely felt the need to reference a guide at all; however, there is a certain puzzle ([spoiler]when you are waiting for the screensaver to trigger[/spoiler]) that is not triggering properly, so I was forced to check a guide to confirm it was a bug. I loved the writing for this game, each character had compelling intertwined stories that encouraged you to play more to find out their fates. The one question I still have is [spoiler] why Desktop Explorer is evil in the first place, I feel like I missed something because I only remember the dad programming it but it seems like there is way more that wasn't discussed.[/spoiler] If you have played Hypnospace Outlaw, this has a very similar feel except you are exploring the contents of a PC rather than exploring the internet. The design/concept of some of the applications/games were so pleasing I wish they were real, like Chronolog and NextRooms.

this is a really fun puzzle game with an even more interesting story to tell. some of the puzzles were a bit frustrating but most of them were fine and it could of just been because this was my first real puzzle games lol. I would 100% recommend even if they have a walkthrough on the side for some of the trickier stuff :P

第一章解密特别意思，后面几章就有点为解密而解密，硬凑的感觉。氛围营造超级好，电脑窗口游玩的玩法也很有代入感，剧情通畅但是不算精彩，结合价格给到超大下 可恶啊我的成就怎么少了一半，是因为玩的时候是直接从文件夹打开的吗

非常惊艳非常有创意解谜过程相当有趣！好喜欢 总感觉最后的结局之后应该再给一些可以探索的谜题来着有点可惜 总之非常非常值得一玩！ 如果非要说有什么不满意的地方那应该是走迷宫那段实在是太晕了，过那一关虽然很快但是我真的差点yue出来。。头一回那么晕3D TT
