YES!!! This game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ amazing. I love this game so much, just the lore and the gameplay is amazing.

such a cool ass game, pretty unique and weird but in the best way possible

insanely good game. oozing with atmoshpere and dripping with juice. buy it and play it.

i loved this game, not only did it give me chills throughout the first ending but i think the idea of console hijacking and being able to play around with the terminal especially when you start to understand how it works is really fun, this is why i live for psych horror games

It was a cool game, however I thought it was kind of badly optimized (although my computer is pretty old) its still worth playing even with a low framerate!

This is definitely worth your time, but don't expect to do much hacking. I beat this in about 30 minutes. On one hand, this game really nails a lot. It's atmospheric and stylish. The sound design is excellent. It does a lot of great worldbuilding with not that much dialogue, which is hard to do on such a short game. I felt like I understood the world without being info dumped, and I wanted to stay in it longer. Even the brief voice acting was punching above its weight for an indie game. On the other hand, this game is 85% watching things, 15% actual hacking. It's clear the person who made it has some sysadmin knowledge because many things were familiar to me, but I don't particularly care about accuracy in a hacking game. I want some kind of puzzle solving. Instead, I felt like the bulk of my gameplay was spent being slowed down by little inconveniences. You can't read a directory without navigating to it, you can't "tab" to autocomplete file names or paths, and there was a particular command that just silently failed to load inputs if one of your arguments contained non-numeric characters. Instead of doing a puzzle game where I'm using my brain, I felt like I always knew exactly what to do but was just wrestling the terminal. I know these inconveniences are thematically appropriate when working with such old hardware, but my point is there should be a little more hacker gameplay and a little less busy work around the inconvenient terminal. Also, huge missed opportunity. When you first start hacking into the device, you open a bunch of files on it. There was so much cool stuff! Error logs, readmes, config lists. I thought that'd be a good place to put some clues as to what the company is like. But you can't read any of them. Every file in this game that is not directly related to beating it is "corrupted" and can't be read. That's unfortunate. It would've been a really organic way to learn something. As such, I think this game works better narratively than it does being a hacker sim. But it was a very interesting world to be in, and I think this dev continues to demonstrate proficiency over short horror experiences.
