Very cool game! It must have taken a long time to get all the logic coded.

The tips in the comments really helped to get things started quickly. Unfortunately, I got stuck after a while and didn’t get a response in the chat. But I’ll try again later.

Well done!

As with the other commenter below: yeah, sorry about that! I created a discord for the game (linked from the ? icon), I'm happy to give step-by-step hints/advice to anyone that needs it. The main issues seem to be:

1. HINT: the start of the manual (in the Documents folder) explains how to 'connect' to a router, and what to type in to reboot it; the other doc has the address + username + password

2. HINT: the NPCs (like your Mom) are very stupid - they only respond to keywords - and they try to literally tell you what to do / what to respond to them. e.g. your Mom wants to know when it's done, so you can say to her "done" (or any variation on that) and she'll re-try the wifi

Oh I see, so apparently the 2. HINT is what I was missing. I always typed something like “does it work now?”

(...notes down extra keywords I need to add there :))

After the jam I plan to convert all the NPCs into ChatGPT-driven bots, and then it should be easy to get what you need out of them - they'll steer conversation, and be much much better at accepting responses

Based on comments from you and the other playtesters, I've added a whole tutorial (disguised as a 'finish installing your OS' wizard), and in-game hacking manual. Live now if you select 'Gamejam+ tutorial' on startup.
