I love the idea of browsing a haunted, or virus-ridden OS with bugs you have to work around. However, that premise is shattered the minute you boot up the game and get the message from the "User". Then it quickly becomes one of those games where the plot is driven by the fake chatroom and not the act of browing and exploring a fake OS. You kind of depend on the person in the chat room to give you the "next step" to access more files, or trigger the next part of the narrative.This game also does that "fake typing" thing (Where you can press random keys but pre-canned responses come out regardless of what you actually typed), so you can literally roll your head across the keyboard to advance the plot. I personally hate this trend in general because there's always a disconnect between what I feel at the moment and what I'm typing out. It constantly reminds me that I'm just playing a game and not actually browsing an emulated OS. To top it all off, your responses for the first few minutes are whining about not playing a game you downloaded from Steam, and that really brought me out of the whole thing.My other issue is with the "OS emulation" aspect in of itself. Sometimes it's fine, and allows you to copy, paste, and type whatever you like. But one huge issue is the inability to move windows around by clicking and dragging. This gets especially annoying later because there are clues on certain windows that you need to advance the plot on other windows, but you have to close one window to access the other window behind it to type in the information you just learned. So, play this game with a phone or some pen and paper handy.One other thing I hate, which is another annoying trend in games, is the puzzles that exist outside of the game, which you can only access by downloading certain files from dropbox and mediafire. Not only are these rather artificial, if just one of them ends up corrupted or pulled down, or if the site hosting them goes under (remember Megaupload, anybody?) it runs the risk of breaking the entire game and making it impossible to progress. There's also a QR code, which is a whole other can of worms, but thankfully, it's just one.Last bit, and this is going into spoiler territory, so don't highlight it if you are still interested in playing. The virus itself only shows up in the last few minutes of the game, which was extremely disappointing. I expected it to start interfering with you in subtle ways throughout the game, but the corruption only starts happening during the climax of the plot and when you attempt to install another virus to fight it. That said, the imagery for the final "battle" was AWESOME, and I would have loved for that to be spread across the game.In conclusion, that is how I feel about the game. I still recommend people check it out because I would actually like an Archimedes 2 that maybe doubles down on the OS emulation aspect, and I imagine that would require a higher budget and more development time. This game was a neat little experiment overall, but it just didn't click with me.. This game is a bit like a treasure hunt - you have to follow the clues to advance. They break the 4th wall making you the main character which is a very cool concept!I like that they take you outside the game in your investigation, using google and you tube etc it's exactly how you would search for answers in reality. It is a short game but for a quid on sale it's an ace way to kill a few hours. I wouldn't call it a horror game but the hyper-realistic style makes it a bit creepy. I really enjoyed it even though the ending was a bit 'meh'.**I have seen some reviews warning against the game because your investigation leads you to download a file - they then decided to stop playing. I had no problems with the file, it was completely clean and in keeping with the premise of how you conduct the investigation so not dodgy at all. Just open it in your sandbox if you are cautious.**. !!!WARNING!!!This game is DEFINITELY not recommended. It downloads files from random file-share sites so you'll never be sure it's secure (man-in-the-middle-sharing). ATM 3 of the links game gives, those site's don't work. This is a malware program, not a cool alternate experience game.This game should not be on Steam.. really good game, its very interesting and feels very real. it actaully requires you to go outside of the game to figure out some puzzles, ex google maps. def worth it at the 2 dollar price.. Sounded like an interesting concept, but wasn't really much fun to play, mostly because of the UI implementation (I know I'm in the minority here, and usually I wouldn't bash a low-cost indie game for production values, but I think a bit more thought towards usability wouldn't have gone amiss).- You have to keep monkey-typing into the 'MSN'-like window to advance. You don't know how much monkey-typing is needed to complete the text you're typing, or when you'll next need to monkey-type, so there's a constant cycle of mouse-keyboard-mouse-keyboard, etc. Ok, minor inconvenience, but it grates - there has to have been a better way to do this.- Windows can't be moved around, rearranged, or ordered on the desktop. There are times at which it would be useful to view information in one window so that you can type it into another, but that ability is missing.- At one point it's necessary to download and listen to some audio files. This is a cool aspect - merging in the 'real world' with the game - but the sound quality of the files was so scratchy\/distorted\/badly-levelled that I couldn't understand a word. Perhaps just me, or perhaps they're supposed to be a 'thematic' challenge in this way, but I didn't have any audio-cleanup software handy, so this is the point at which I gave up.- For some reason the Steam overlay didn't work while in-game, so any time it sent me out onto the real web I had to quit the game entirely then reload it.Judging by the generally-good reviews, there's probably something worthwhile here if you're willing to stick with it, but I guess I had a patience-failure with this one.. Similar concept to Her Story in that this is a game about interacting with an OS. However this game requires you to go outside the game, and use Google Maps, mediafire and even email to get to the end of the 'story'. As other reviews have noted, you will NOT be able to play the game after you beat it again. Which is a shame because I would have liked to play through it at least one more time. Also, the second screenshot on the store page is right from the end of the game! This definitely made the ending a lot less of a surprise than it should have been imo, which is also a shame.Nevertheless, it's a fun little distraction for an hour or so, and worth it for this price.. Don't search up any tutorials on this game. This game so far is really mind-bending and weird, the puzzels are very unique and strange I am having a blast playing this and strongly recommend this game as it really deserves more than what it has now.
