i did not complete the whole game but i think you already know this music would have been soo good .

Nice adventure game but also quite confusing. The visuals were very nice but I quickly found my self lost what to do. I think that having more clear indicators of what to do would help a bit. I did like the description to the left but it also felt a bit out of place, I would probably rather just have all the information in game. My main criticism is the lack of audio, it would've made a huge difference to the game, even just having a sound when you click a button. Despite these issues, the game was still great and a very creative take on the theme, good job!

There's not a lot of options to pick from and would be more interesting if there's only the terminal, that left column doesnt gave me much information. Overal an intriguing game and a nice entry to those fans of text adventure games, good job!

I liked this game but the password part was kind of confusing but still loved the game and the post processing on this was perfect!

This was a fun text adventure. I really liked reading half of the conversion at a time when logged in to each persons computer. The passwords weren't too difficult but it took me a bit because it was a bit unclear how long/hard they could be and the format of the "information bar" on the left was a bit confusing at first. Definitely worth playing if you like text adventures

Cool to see in depth made text adventure during gamejam. If it had typing sound and some music, the atmosphere would be awesome. Quite enjoyed it :)

It hadn't occurred to me to add typing sounds until people started talking about it here, actually. Thank you for playing!

Interesting character writing, setting, original use of the theme... Yep, it feels good! As others said, a bit of music (or maybe atmospheric SFX?) and UI sounds would add to the whole thing. It really seem to be the kind of game that could rely a lot on its atmosphere to work!

In any case, I like it and hope that your lil' project will be featured as one of the finalists.

Oh, I didn't expect a text adventure in this jam.

I really liked it though.

The gameplay of looking at different terminals to find information on how to access other terminals was really fun. And while at the start I obviously was a bit lost I found my way around pretty quickly. It's always a nice feeling when you read something and notice "Hey, I could use that information!".

The presentation is understandably pretty basic, but the color scheme fits the feel of the game and the effect on some of the text is surpising, when it happens and helps the mood.

I had fun playing this as it reminded me somewhat of games like Outer Wilds and Tacoma, with their basic premise of looking at stuff, getting more information and trying to figure out what happened.

All around good stuff and apart from more content to further flesh out the mystery and give it a proper ending I'm not really sure what could be improved.

Really enjoyed this one! Nice break from the panic and madness of other entries. Could see this working as a great mobile game, in fact.

A cool take on the theme, going for a text adventure, has a great atmosphere and is a decent challenge!

Submitted(+1)

This game was really well thought out and executed! It really felt like you were snooping around through these computers, and puzzling out all of the passwords–while relatively easy–was still a lot of fun! You created a fascinating dynamic between these people we never interacted with, and I'd love to explore that world further. Great job!

pretty original concept, haven't seen many text adventure games. Good work!

Ooh, cool to see a text adventure, haven't played one in awhile. I really liked how you made the screen and text look, good writing too! Only complaint is maybe some atmospheric noise would be nice. Good submission!

Warehouse 13!

It's really cool that you pulled off a text adventure, with some neat things. The flickertext was pretty atmospheric! Got Daniel's and Jake's password pretty easily. The others took a bit longer, but I've got em all, including the second [redacted to not spoil] :) Was fun to figure out!

I love text adventure games and this one is really well done. The glitches in the text really give it an extra touch. The storytelling is really well done. I love the little touches like Diane written with a heart on the i.

As a SCP fan, I found this very amusing haha. I'm a bit biased though as I'm not a fan of most text based games, but I have to admit it was a bit fun solving the mystery of each person's password. It did look really good though, the green glow has a nice old school terminal feel. Great job overall!

Submitted(+2)

Good job. I found Daniel's password but no luck for the others...

Without revealing too much, the ">help" command will give you hints if you're nice to the computer. Otherwise it'll just make excuses to not help you.

While I wasn't expecting to see a twine game in this jam it's definitely one the best games I've played so far. 

It did remind me somewhat of the ios game Hack RUN which had a similar style.

I also liked the font used in the main window.

Overall great job, well done!
