TLDR: 2 bugs, One with faulty camera that spins randomly, one with the correct file downloading, but turning into a different file on the server (and not counting for the diagnosis)

So, I wasn't sure that this was part of the game. But it got frustrating so i ended up getting an ending that resulted in me getting fired, just so that I could start over

I was downloading and uploading files, but at one point (only after maybe 3 or 4 uploads) it started to where I would download lets just say the didza (that was the first file this happened to me with) and then when i would go put it onto the server, it turned into the twenty file, even though on the disk it still said didza. This happened for several files (I then did the file twenty, and it turned into some completely other file) and then i would still need to put the correct file on, or the diagnosis wouldn't change

Once I went back in, and started it again, it seems to be working correctly.

I'm on the web version btw.

Oh, one more annoying bug, the camera is glitchy, especially around corners, its almost like I hit a corner and then the camera spins around so i'm looking the opposite way, even with mouse sesitivity below .50

I got 3 endings, and killed by ben (so I guess, technically 4 endings? lol)

Anyways, I wanted to see what the virus would do to me. So, after I completed it fully (after making ben mad) I decided to make him mad again, and let the virus take me... Only theres an issue I ran into.

The first time I got through it after making him mad, it took only 1 maybe 2 server visits for him to start sending a virus, which was annoying (since I DIDN'T want it lol)

When I actually WANTED a virus on the next play through, I didn't get one until after I finished the VERY last request lmao, also, that was the only playthrough where I saw Ben a total of once. Scared the shit out of me because I wasn't prepared though lmao (since I had gotten through it three times already, without seeing him XD

Talk about horrible luck lmao

Hello! Glad to hear the issues you ran into were quite minimal (Although the files breaking does sound quite substantial we're glad it was fixed by an easy restart). It would seem that you have gotten all 4 endings then, congratulations!

To break down the AI of Ben a little bit, it is COMEPLETELY dependent on luck. After angering him, there's an around 70% chance that he will spawn with every file transfer you do. After he spawns in one of the vents, he will hang around for about 15-20 seconds, then go away and send a virus onto the main terminal. If you do notice him however, you scare him away, thus preventing the virus. I hope this clears some things up. :)

Ah! That makes so much sense then! I only scared him away that one time (even though i'm pretty sure he scared me much more lmao) and so the rest of the times, I heard the vent, but didn't see anything (but I might have been too slow, or looked the wrong way, etc.

Anyways, the game was fun! Thanks for making it <3
