this is just not a very interesting game, other than having good music and a nice aesthetic. the story is a very stock mystery with vague journal entries from gone or missing people you've seen a thousand times in this sorta game and dialogue writing that lacks clear personality or points of view. the puzzles are ok in the first section where it has a couple neat gimmicks with file manipulation and then they just kinda forget about that and the game becomes escape room style puzzles where you're doing nonograms or simple cyphers and it's all couched in pieces of text that're like "my favourite animals are THESE ONES, in THIS ORDER. they're THIS COLOR. also, FISH of different colors have DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF STRIPES" and then you count the stripes on the fish in the order of the colors. it's very silly and not very atmospheric and mainly just not very fun to solve and lacking in a-ha moments

本质中评吧 虎头蛇尾的作品 游戏开头非常惊艳，谜题设计恰到好处又融合了电脑系统的各个小细节，可以看出很多小巧思 可惜过了Hal的章节就急转直下，Max的章节简直就是又臭又长，大量的晦涩电波内容，而游戏大部分时候缺乏合理的提示机制，而且NextRoom的操作感也不是很好。里面还有许多神秘公务员小考题，虽然游戏本身提供笔记功能可以用，但属实不太好用，这块谜题水平和之前完全不可同日而语。 熬过了这块，Admin和终章算是稍微回升了一点，新机制也有一些意思，但是……这就没啦？实在是太短了，还没体验多少新机制游戏就结束了。 总体来说如果满分5分，游戏是一个5-1-3的结构，极其优秀的开篇，晦涩且又臭又长的中篇，质量回升但很仓促的收尾。 如果全程都能保持开篇的质量完全值得这个价位，可惜后面拉了

really creative puzzles that made excellent use of its file exploring framework and a surprisingly emotional story that had me a little misty-eyed by the end! fans of hypnospace outlaw will definitely want to play this :] and for fellow cowards: there isn't really anything in the way of jumpscares, at least not imo. if a window opening on your computer after you click on something counts in your book, then yeah maybe it does lol

I played a demo of this at SIX a few years back and the game hasn't left my head since. (got a neat Pizarro sticker from a dev that's still on my pc case!) The concept is so shockingly simple, it's a miracle nobody's done this exact blend of it before, but the execution is magical. This game combines elements of point-and-click mystery boxes, narrative mystery, horror, and the wonderful world of 90s-era desktops, software, and web design. It's a genuinely one-of-a-kind experience. I want to compare it to Hypnospace Outlaw, but frankly even that doesn't lean in as hard on manipulating things on your virtual desktop. Please try this game out. It's awesome. I promise it will surprise you, even with all I've said.

Não tem tradução para Português Brasil, achei o jogo interessante em sua ideia, mas me decepcionei.

Wonderful game, feels like an ARG or something similar to Petscop and the likes with it's own charm that keep drawing you into it's mystery while dripping with clues and references that takes the cake. Love the game and keep it up!

个人游玩时间是7~8小时，但仅供参考。 原本以为又是个唬人的小品游戏，没想到体量比想象中还要大3倍。 游戏无论是画面、演出还是音乐，都非常精致，是很舒服的氛围作。 部分谜题可能需要问向导才能Get到，但确实很有意思。 防剧透就不多说了，很不错的桌面探索游戏。

前期还算是符合预期，中期Max的章节有点拖沓了也比较容易卡关，最后收尾有丶仓促但也算是在耐心耗尽之前结束了… 剧情、文案比较一般没太多记忆点，比较可惜的是恐怖元素没想象中多＆劲，纯体验创意解谜的话可以尝试下√

This is a really fun game from my point of view, the puzzles are fun, the retro aesthetic is amazing and the music is wonderful. If you wanna try a spooky puzzle game that gives a good challenge, it's a must buy. 10000/10

以OS为表现方式是惊艳的，但离开第一章后脱离了OS。 文本不能复制、没有Ctrl键的交互等等直接打断了心流 可以看出作者想表达的点很多，但平衡游戏性、操作性和故事性有很大问题，许多谜题过于抽象，且没有提示，看似能给提示的NPC没有实际作用，在主线中还必须记住剧情中人物的信息，整体体验是失望的，望多打磨细节
