- Incredibly well-polished experience that leverages the genre of the OS simulator and pairs it with horror. I like that it was a focused game and it didn't obsess over the distractions that OS simulators usually have. Purely narrative based but with a few minigames and puzzles to keep the player interested and engaged. The game is a well-realized project from a team effort and achieves exactly what it sets out to do. Great stuff!

Wow, this was really incredible! You did a great job recreating the feel of a 90s Windows PC and had a nice variety of minigames within the computer. I especially liked the hidden kitty pictures :) Great work!
Loved the artwork and game design! The sound design is also awesome! Enjoyed the game overall! Cheers
Excellent story, great aesthetics and sound. My only complaint is it wasn't longer.
Great job, it has a really tense feeling, and fun mini games. Love the ol windows 3.1 feel!

And this is why you don't access top secret files from the government, folks.
I really like 1. The simulation of old computer system. 2. The sound when interaction, they are really realistic. 3. Your game website is cool as well, fit your theme.
Two things, both good :)
First- i like games that get me to interact with a computer system- Orwell, Hacknet, all zachtronic games. Your game was right up my alley, especially, because it really clicked (and now I realize I made a pun).
Second- am I crazy, or is my game unintentional sequel to yours? :)
Overall- really loved your game. Keep it up!
Very cool concept of having the player interact with an old school OS system as the core gameplay loop! I would've loved if you could look a bit more around as when there was an unexpected sound, my mouse automatically flickered to check out where it was coming from (which is a great thing!) but I couldn't actually turn the character around. A very nice, concise entry!
Loved the idea behind this game. Using the computer was fun.
Don't make me go bad to that OS!! The horror spilled over me in waves. Then I played it, it was all awesome. Not a bad thing to say. KUDOS
Very Impressive, although I did get stuck on some bits :)
Man i love computer-horror games! Loved this one so much :D The windows 95 aesthetic is done very well. Simply loved it no complaints. Well crafted and polished game! Geat work :D
Note: I also made a computer horror game. It would be really cool if you guys give it a try :d
Very immersive and spooky!! I enjoyed playing
Very cool game. Love the OS and the UI - really amazing work! I got stuck a few times when watching horror movies and the BSOD was funny, I had forgotten about that! Great job and slick entry!
Nice game, I really enjoyed it, Everything was really nice, and the ending had me really preparing for a jump scare, but there wasn't anything..
I have not seen windows 98 in a long time :) this was good and reminded me of how things used to be where you would just have to know a site because there was no google. #Stickdeath.com
Great interactivity. Nice work!
Really awesome concept, and Fantastic Sound Design!
this game is awesome :D! Though I got stuck at the shoot the nodes part after clicking it twice. Overall, good work!
I just checked what happens when you open the vault twice, and you didn't really miss out on anything, since you still see the ending. You just had to wait a bit longer.
Glad you enjoyed the game!
