About
Welcome to TEREBRO INC., 1986. Your assignment as a Risk Assessment Data Processor begins tonight. A workspace awaits, where the legacy of the corporation teeters on the brink of the secrets you'll uncover.
Entrusted with TEREBRO INC.'s archives, you'll delve into a trove of documents and recordings, each piece a fragment of its hidden history. Amid the relics of its operations, discern the truths that could either fortify or fracture the company's future.
Beneath the dim glow of a desk lamp and the moon's watchful eye, your office becomes the stage for this nocturnal vigil. With the static hum of a radio for company, you'll sift through data, connecting dots drawn across time. The voice of your supervisor, distant yet direct, guides your journey into the archives, challenging you to piece together a narrative that should perhaps remain covered.
Armed with a GPS, an encoder device, and more—you stand as the arbiter of history. Each document, each decision, brings you closer to either preserving a legacy or uncovering a truth too potent to ignore.
As the night deepens, so does the mystery. What truths lay buried within TEREBRO INC.'s past, and what will you choose to do with them? The fate of the company reputation hangs in balance.
Will you be its guardian or its destroyer?

Fun short game. Puzzles are challenging, but not terribly so. Decent creep factor that won't put off people who aren't into to horror but enough to whet a horror fan's taste. Voice acting was a little off-putting but not terrible.
This game sucks ass. There's barely a story, the voice acting is completely unconvincing, and the gameplay is literally just read a file and do a worksheet about it.
Very fun game kept me immersed the entire time. Hope they come out with another game like it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Very neat little puzzle game. Good to play in one sitting, and easy to replay for any missed or additional achievements.
Really cool! My partner and I loved it! We just wish it was longer! We'll be watching this dev for sure!
Nice story and idea, needs fleshing out a bit imho, but for £3, can't complain. However, the controls are bloody awful. The switch between A/D and arrows is annoying as hell. Just let us click the things and rotate with the mouse, same as navigating around perhaps.
Interesting little short game - some of the files took me a bit to figure out but I may have been overthinking.
A short, ok, and simple puzzle game. 90% of the solutions are completely straightforward and easy and a couple require some deeper thinking.
Cool short mystery game with hint of horror themes. The radio having different ost and radio jockey voices is a very nice touch of detail. Only downside I do wish you can shift between screens with mouse via clicking by the border or something. Due to being so honed into the docs I tend to forget to utilizes the GPS for some puzzles [this could just be a me issue tho]
neat
