How does the game fit the theme?
It is a game about stopping an AI, when they first enabled the AI, they thought that nothing could go wrong...

Nice game ! I like the fact that we can keep notes of the combinations in the office. Great submission !
Thanks for playing! I really enjoyed your game as well!
Cool game! Great work!
Thanks for playing!
Thank you so much for playing!
Wow, I wasn't expecting this much quality by this game, I was genuinely surprised. What I loved most was the eerie-mysterious atmosphere, and it was really captivating!
Thank you so much for playing and rating!
Cool game! It is polished but I often got stuck in the chairs, I though the character is a bit too wide.
Thanks for the feedback, the movement is a bit janky, I agree
Nice puzzle! The last one got me ˚₊𓆩꒰_🧠_꒱𓆪₊˚ I couldn't solve it without commetns, sry =(
The other puzzles were pretty clear and intuitive. Don't know if I was lucky, but i found codes just when i needed it!
Appreciate the feedback and rating!
I liked the premise and the gradual unfolding of the levels. Putting the notes to walk over is a nice way of communicating to the player without an intrusive or tedious mechanic.
The two things I'd suggest are - making the player size smaller so it doesn't have collision problems going through doors. The other would be to keep the notes with door combinations close to where they are used so that it's not a matter of memorisation and guesswork. (For myself once I got past the laser on the right side I couldn't open that door despite trying combination after combination.)
Thanks so much for the feedback and rating! I don’t know if you noticed but if you go into inventory then press 2 you can go into a notes page where it shows found notes you have taken note of.
I like that the controls and gameplay elements get explained ingame via notes.
The inventory looks good, sets the office vibe.
Sounds are ok.
Thanks for rating!
Really liked the theme and the general vibe of the game, great job!
Thankyou for playing!
Rated -- really cool premise; and the music sets the vibe so well!
Thanks for rating!
I enjoyed the story telling, and great sound track!
Thanks so much for playing!
Cool game! I had a good time exploring and opening the doors with the codes I found on notes. I like how fast the character moves when you sprint around. I got really close to the end, but I couldn't figure out the 2nd server code, I even read your hint in the comments below, but still couldn't figure it out haha. Had fun playing your game, great work!
Oh so sorry I watched your stream, the comment has a typo, the left one was the up down right general code, and the right door is the one in the note, with both the general codes (up, down right first then the other one), then up down up down. I made it slightly unintuitive, and didn't get any time to playtest. Thanks for playing though!
You tried the correct one at the end, but you tried it before the combination was reset, in the keyboard input controls it says walk away to reset, but I forgot to add that to the controller controls too.
Great game! I did have a bit of trouble with the codes in the server room. It would be great if there was some auditory feedback with every button you push to indicate if that was the right or wrong thing to press. Other then that, great job!
Great feedback, thanks! I’m already working on an update with SFX along with many other things.
Awesome game! Rated!
Thanks a lot for rating my game!
Broad shouldered and to the point. Controls/movement were a bit difficult, took me a bit longer to get the hang of than I expected. Overall, well done. Keep on improving. :)
Thanks so much for your feedback and rating!
Short adventure game with clear intent and story! Could have made the doors smaller for better movement.
Thanks a lot for rating, I agree the doors are a bit of a nuisance.
nice game simple and easy well Done !
Thanks a bunch!
Interesting game but write gate code was a little bit difficult because there is not any feedback about that. Movement was fun, i was struggle to move through doors but i liked that !
Thankyou! Yeah, I didn't have much time to playtest so didn't really know whether things were intuitive or not.
The game has a cool vibe/atmosphere! I wish there was some sign to see if I'm inputting anything into the arrow key code things though? >_< I'm stucked at the very beginning lol
Yes, thanks for rating, I'm working on a small update with some bugfixes, improved intuitiveness and sound effects. It won't be part of the jam though sadly.
Shh I won't tell anybody if you update it >_>
Really nice small game! To be honest i had a bit struggle with the code because i didnt know to where exactly to apply it but i got the hand of it! Great job!
Thanks for rating!
