Short but fun! Enjoyed exploring the world and figuring out the possibilities. Looking forward to new chapters!
Sometimes it's a bit hard to aim the interaction, i got stuck trying to click the recycle bin, even thought i was on top of the window. Your play-through video helped.
Overall great experience!
I don't know why but this 2nd character crying (won't say much - don't want to spoil to others) really scared me out, lol. But hopefully things were fine or almost, haha.
Really original entry you made there! Short, but okay with time we got for the jam. Really cool!
Very interesting. I enjoy the concept of being a little digital guy. I liked how the story plays out, and I didn't figure it all out until playing a second time. Wonderful game overall.
Great work adding achievements! Love the concept but would like to see even more with it! The game left me wanting to play around more in the computer world*
Very very dope, I was able to find all except one achievement on my own (I looked at your playthrough for the time achievement.) I really like it!
This was interesting! I don't ever recall being physically inside a computer!
The game is epic and really unique. I loved the achievement system ingame. I like how there's no hint or any kind of tutorial. Great concept :)
Very cool storytelling game. I like the show don't tell aspect of it. It encourages the player to explore the environment and unlock bits and pieces of the story. I think I got the general gist of the story - the coughing dude is dying, and he stole the Uplink technology to upload himself into the computer only for it to shut down anyways, right? If so, that's pretty dang dark.
As for the gameplay itself, a cursor would've been useful so I could tell what I was pointing at. I also think the windows being platforms should be made more obvious, it took me a while to get that I could jump on them.
Overall, very cool and unique experience. I enjoyed playing through it!
Yeah, you got the general gist! Thanks so much for playing the game. Really glad to hear you enjoyed it :)
The idea is really cool, never seen anything like it.
The achievements were a good way to keep the player interested to find everything (It sure worked on me).
Just a shame that my slow brain takes so long to read backwards xD
You wanna know a secret? Use a hand mirror if you have one :D
Very cool concept, unfortunately I also got stuck after the second news article, had to watch your youtube playthrough. I really like the show don't tell attitude the game has to the story , that was very well done. Maybe a tiny cursor would have helped to see what the camera was pointed at, as I found it sometimes difficult to select the button I wanted.
But overall, great idea and great execution !
Loved this concept, I think you executed your idea great. Fits the theme well, well done!
Thanks for playing! I'm curious; were you able to complete the game?
Yes, I was!
Really cool game. But I couldn’t figure out how to progress after I reached the second news article. But overall it was a great experience.
Hey, thanks for trying out my game! I've provided a playthrough on youtube on what to do if you'd like to see the rest of the game.
