DreamNet

one of those fake os games, done with about as much competence as microsoft does windows, so I guess it's realistic enough. multiple languages, can create more save slots but no timestamp, just a date, so one can only hope it saves constantly. I only ran it once, couldn't be bothered to check. no windowed mode toggle to click but f11 works, as I learned by pressing alt for alt+tab that brought up the menu on top that shouldn't be there. amateur hour. there's a floating bubbles toggle (why are those even a thing?) and a single volume slider that isn't enough because there's music and sfx. I'll never understand these idiotic audio settings with volume sliders for some and toggles for others. if the game has 2 different types of audio, add 2 sliders, simple as that. and while the initial music was playing, the slider didn't do anything. plus the music player is bugged. the seek bar for one of them makes it out to be some long number but it's just a couple seconds, and the seek itself bar doesn't work but it does in the media player. there are files to go through, some basic mini-games and a website that's essentially a screenshot, nothing's clickable. eventually a creep hits you up on messenger but you already ran out of stuff to do after a few minutes and get bored of waiting for the next interaction. they ignore whatever you say anyway. I agreed to activate the camera to keep things moving and the reply was no, you're right, you shouldn't. then more waiting. and when it told me to open pictures, clicking the desktop icon did nothing, had to go to file explorer. so I quit, stop wasting my time with this buggy piece of ♥♥♥♥. though for all I know it might've been the end anyway. there's no exit button either, of course, you can log off, then elegantly press alt+f4.

这让我想起了幼儿园时在WINDOWSxp系统上经常玩网页游戏和看卡通片的经历

i love it

very very short! pretty cool though

00年代のウィンドウズっぽい環境で、永久に時間が止まった世界にいるらしい過去の時代の人とメッセージアプリを通じて交流するゲーム。 雰囲気はなかなか出ているが、日本語翻訳は低クオリティな機械翻訳で何が起こっているのかはあまり分からない。 似たゲームでいうと『餓史シャチの幸』とかだろうか。しかし向こうと比べると、こちらの方はアングラ感やホラー要素はほとんどない。 設定画面からセーブができるが、新しいセーブスロットを作成しても、はじめからのデータが増えるだけなので実質オートセーブしかないと思った方が良いかも。 【注意】PCのカメラを使用するシーンがあります。配信などでプレイするなら注意。

今年比较惊艳到我的作品，美术和音乐也非常对我胃口。不过剧情偏短而且很多东西我感觉没有讲完。（不过也很可能是我没有会到意）但是总体仍然很好，本地化也很好理解不会有障碍。很不错的小品，在我玩过的独立游戏中我觉得质量偏高，而且还是免费的。
