- Loved the aesthetic and pixel art, controls were initially a bit confusing (Kept pressing 'E' to continue dialogue not realising it was exiting the dialogue). Not really sure how to progress, feels like I'm missing some controls to hide in the bins based on the gif being shown

I really like the visuals on this, the one-bit style looks great and I like the variety of background art you put in there. The shaders also look really good. I wasn't able to figure out the harddrive puzzles either, but with a bit of work on the gameplay this could be super cool. Nice job getting it done in under a day :)
Thank you for playing :) !
Also to complete the puzzle check out the first post replies. ;)
[NOTE: if you are reading this and haven't played the game yet, ignore this comment and GO PLAY IT, i might just be dumb xd]
you certainly surprised me with that ending xd. i am extremely impressed that this game was made in under a day. the visuals look really good, love the 1-bit style (reminds me of a lot of games but this top-down perspective along with how the little characters are drawn reminds me of Minit the most)! the crt scanline effect also really looks good in this style, especially when the aberrant comes into play.
only managed to get the 1 obvious harddrive in the game, but if there is a way to get the other two please let me know (i only have one brain cell, have mercy)! i only figured out about the trash cans being a safe spot from the monster due to the preview gif in this page, though i like that idea, creates this dynamic of planning out your routes to be able to do what you need to do and get to safety before the monster comes out.
i really liked the visual presentation in this one (the audio also elevated the experience as well), great work!
thank you so much for playing my game! Even though I'm not really happy with the end result I'm happy someone enjoyed it! (p.s try interacting with the trashcans when the aberation is not chassing you to get the other disks, you might just find a nice surprise ;) )
i tried to interact with the trashcans, but it doesn't seem to do anything on my end (the interact key is E right?). not sure if i'm supposed to hold the interact button, press something else, or if there is another trigger that i have to do before checking the trash cans. sorry if im missing something obvious :(
I think I know why. interacting with the trash cans is the same button as hiding in them. You can only hide if you are being chased.
oh i tried pressing E before interacting with the dumpster, and after interacting with the dumpster without being chased, couldn't get the interaction to work (tried with each trash can besides the one in the starting area because i couldn't go back to it after leaving the starting area)
