- 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!

I was like: why using an old computer with Windows3 interface would be scary? man…this experience is awesome ! I was just expecting different ends depending on the actions made but the current one is totally nailed. Great job to the team!
Amazing style, great build up!
This is by far the best game I have ever played during the jams!
Hey bullfrog!
WOW! Just wow. That was a really really cool experience. I saw you posting updates in the Discord and was like "oh man, that is one I have to try". I was absolutely not wrong either. This is definitely a must-try game from the Jam -- really great job.
A couple notes after playing (nothing huge, just nitpicky stuff I noticed):
What I liked:
Really fantastic experience and I hope you continue to develop it! Looking forward to any future projects as well!
Hidden cat pictures >>>>>> automatic 10/10
it's my favorite game!
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
