I really enjoyed the mystery because I love puzzle games, but I got stuck unfortunately. Would have been nice with some hints, maybe!
Not a bad idea, but seems difficult to do much with in the time of a game jam, or even just in general. So many things that could possibly be typed in. I almost gave up because it seemed too hard to guess what would be accepted or not, but I guess I cleared it after just randomly typing "code" and going from there. It seems like there might be more to it than I saw, since the second time I saw text I didn't the first time, unless I just didn't notice it.
He didn't understand "yeah sure", and with the help menu, I was starting to understand it as a text based game, and just randomly guessed at "go north". I have no idea if I skipped anything or what.
Maybe a bit odd for that to be the first one I've seen from unrated games in unreal, but I guess you work with what you know, lol.
Hey, thanks for playing! I completely agree, the project started more as trying to get a computer terminal to work which turned into 'I wonder if I can fake a sort of language recognition'. So the solution for recognising words is not nearly as effective as I would have liked. I'd love to revisit the idea someday but yeah, trying to do some sort of language recognition from scratch was a bit optimistic for a 48-hour jam :D
I love the retro computer! It's Commodore pet inspired, right?
I think I encountered a bug where my head would keep bobbing up and down after possessing the PC. It made it really hard to play the game :(
Thanks for the feedback :D The computer was 'retro computer terminal' Google image search inspired haha, but definitely meant to be Commodore shaped. Sorry to hear about the bug, I know exactly why it happened but surprisingly never encountered it during development, whoops!
