Absolutely loved this one and was very surprised that it took me about 14 hours to beat, was expecting it to be much shorter. Very well presented story that makes you want to keep playing. Large variety of puzzles that hit the perfect sweet spot of being tricky without ever being frustrating. Even when you're stuck, you know the solution is right there - it's just a matter of thinking about the puzzle differently. I'll repeat what some other reviewers said: DON'T LOOK UP A GUIDE OR ANY HINTS!!!! Seriously, if necessary just take a break from the game and sleep on the puzzle you're stuck on. Failing that, get someone irl to help you with it. You'll only experience this game for the first time once. Fair warning though, this game is definitely targeting people who grew up in the era of Windows 95-98, played around with MS Paint, browsed GameFAQs, had a MySpace, stared at screensavers, remembered losing dial up connection and only being able to visit cached links, stuff like that. If any of this rings a bell, this game will take you right back to that stuff (but not in a typical nostalgia-bait kinda way). If all of this doesn't sound familiar, you might not get a lot of the references in this game and might struggle on some of the puzzles - definitely try the demo first if that's you. Loved it.

Insanely good game. I got it because I enjoyed Hypnospace outlaw so much, but this is it's own little thing. Wow, what a treat that was. PS this game will punch you in the gut.

i started this game thinking i'd just be snooping around someone's 90s desktop like a nosy detective piecing together secrets for fun..only to end up staring at my monitor crying at 1 am.

Really good puzzles

Cannot believe this was a debut game, really slick presentation and very well thought-out puzzles. And it has heart! I have seen more experienced developers put out less cohesive games, so I hope they are all very proud. Looking forward to the next project!

Very nice puzzle game that manages to stay fresh for its whole runtime (that is quite long, around 9 hours for me). The story is also quite nice and is well connected to the gameplay and puzzles.
