I got to then end!

  • The empty input also crashes the game(just pressing enter at the prompt)
  • If you’re going to make a text terminal your main features, please, tab completion.
  • knowing to omit the backslashes for the dates is kind of correct, but also awkward, since in the worst-case you try 6 different options.
  • I didn’t know you had to press ‘enter’ at the menu for a second, might want to prompt for that.

All that being said, I like haunted terminals and this had about the right level of stylization, so it was cool!

Thanks for playing!

  • The empty input also crashes the game(just pressing enter at the prompt)

yeah, i fixed that already in the post-jam build, but i forgot to add it to the known issues list 💀

  • If you’re going to make a text terminal your main features, please, tab completion.

yep, didn't have time to add it during the jam, but that's on my roadmap for the post-jam version

  • knowing to omit the backslashes for the dates is kind of correct, but also awkward, since in the worst-case you try 6 different options.

didn't even think to add hints about the date format, thanks!

  • I didn’t know you had to press ‘enter’ at the menu for a second, might want to prompt for that.

mouse support for menus is planned as well

is your GPU intel?

Known Issues:
* Intel integrated graphics might not work, RTSS will crash the game if out of date. Dedicated intel cards might or might not work. Any NVIDIA/AMD GPUs with OpenGL 4.6 support will work i'm pretty sure
* Running the 'cat'/'read'/'install' commands without passing a file or pressing enter with an empty command crashes the game
* IF YOU CAN'T RUN THE GAME AND YOUR GPU ISN'T INTEL, CHECK IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE  "OpenCL™, OpenGL®, and Vulkan® Compatibility Pack" INSTALLED (AND IF YOU DO, UNINSTALL IT)
