Impressive work to recreate the computer and the feel of windows 95! I like the integration of "real" Google into the puzzles, this is a clever concept but might be double edged. Thinking back, the puzzles all made sense but I totally had to rely on the walkthrough to go through it. It was still fun though. More like a "Ohhh yeah, makes sense, wish I saw that".
Some feedback:
- Especially when dealing with that type of subject matter, having players click on suspicious links might not be the best. I wonder, did you actually create those websites yourself for the game (very computer, etc.)?
- Searching for the post in google didn't work very well. Even using the walkthrough, I had to force the search to not default to windows 95 until I eventually found the link. Honestly, if I wasn't following the walkthrough, I probably wouldn't have even glanced at the website or even find it in the first place.
- I wish there could be a full screen option on the webgl version. I couldn't make out the * (was it to indicate space, or was it a #) on the postit. Actually never occurred to me that it was a * ... The bot game was also so small that didn't really pick out the clue there.
Good submission though. Different than most of the jam games. Good job!
