Desktop Explorer

Desktop Explorer is a quite fun concept, and I think that the execution is quite strong on the puzzle front. It is difficult to judge a game based upon the puzzles, because their difficulty is dependent on the person doing them! (For my money, only two or three puzzles here were quite hard. Other than that, its coasting.) Where this game shines for me is the vibes. And the vibes are truly *[u]Chefs kiss[/u]* If this had a mode where I could just put one of the desktops on and chill out with the music, chunky ui, notetaking app, that would be very rad. Moving past the presentation, the structure of the game is pretty straightforward. Each pc user profile is a different chapter, and they tell a story of a family all together. Milage will vary, but I found one quite good, and one quite whatever. I think that the story the game is telling goes to some interesting places, but [spoiler] the story is fundamentally a difficult thing to tell, and the game doesn't land it.[/spoiler] [spoiler] The thrust of the story is a family that has fallen apart i guess? But the actual text of the game doesn't really make this clear, and in fact the characters relationships are a bit murky. [/spoiler] Anyhow, the game runs well and only had one issue with the actual performance of the game. In the arcade, I had a wonky camera trigger. Still, it was absolutely playable and was no hinderance whatsoever. In conclusion, great vibes, fun puzzles, interesting story that doesnt nail its landing. Very much a good game to hammer through over the weekend.

Muy buen juego, muy buena historia. Admirable su trabajo, muchas gracias!

peak that worth your time and effort go play it

The style, the puzzles, the sounddesign, the art, everything in this game is top ten of all time hot damn! I absoluetly loved it!! Though I did have to look up some (four I think) of the solutions, just to feel stupid afterwards xD Go play this game if you love challenging puzzles, like seriously go play it!!!

great game

such a cool experience. i thoroughly enjoyed this game from start to finish, makes me wish i could play again for the first time. the operating system functions extremely well, and it's almost indistinguishable from just using an old computer. the story is deep with a lot to uncover. if your looking for a short but fun way to kill time and solve some puzzles, i would highly recommend!
