I love the concept, I am sure that this may be some peoples game but its not my kind of game. But what you did was outside the box I like it.

That was an interesting concept - exploring the defeatist and inherently flawed ideology of anarchoprimitivism through a text-based adventure game.

Unfortunately, the password-guessing process is too tedious.
The seed gate password is "domestication" mentioned in the third document but there is no clue to the other ones.

Developer

That was an interesting opinion that I do not share. 

I have included some tips that will help with the guessing, but I cannot update until the jam is over. I will quote them here: When you try the seed gate, Anastasis will say: You should start at the end and work backwards.

I like the concept, I like the idea, and the displaying of the code is smooth and nice. Maybe some texts could appear a bit faster when you go from one place to another, it gest a bit boring waiting everytime to see the same text about the terminal connecting.
I could not do any evaluation, did not understand how it worked, but read everything, search a bit, but had no idea.

Developer

Thank you for your feedback, NilsK!

I'm glad you enjoyed the concept and the presentation! You can press the spacebar to skip the typing effect.

Could you let me know more about where you got stuck or what was unclear? I'd love to help and see if there's something I can improve.

So, I never play these games so maybe there's some "codes" that i don't know of, but I read all the things, and I couldn't do the exams, so I knew I had to unlock the gates, and it asked for password, and... had absolutely not a clue about where to search for. Like the seed gate is the first gate, so do you find answer in the first file that you can read ? And if so, what indicates you where to probably find the password ? I searched for 10-15 minutes I would say, but I only read people sending letters, so.... don't know what I'm supposed to do with that

It’s probably a design oversight on my part. I should have made it clearer . In the first terminal, there's a text about technology that repeats the same term three times—that term is the password for the circuit gate. Thanks for the feedback; I’ll work on making these clues more intuitive!

aaaahh okay ! maybe i'll try that to see how the game is after that ! Bear in mind I don't do a lot of these games, I still read everything, but maybe a bit too quickly. I guess the thing is I didn't know where to start to search for things
