How have you integrated the theme in your game?
The game rules require protecting the nodes, but only by attacking the nodes can you get the endings and secret information.

Enjoyed the game, and had fun reading all the messages. Definitely very funny writing however at the end when I got to all the password protected things to read the game barely gave me enough time to read 2 which was quite sad since i was enjoying the text. And since the game isn't fast enough to quickly get back to that point and I didn't feel like replaying it 5 times to read everything. Apart from that the game didn't feel too sluggish despite not having too much to do since the emails were entertaining, frequent and long enough, good job :D.
thank you so so much for playing and posting commentπ₯Ήπ€²ππππβ¨πππππππβ¨πβ¨πβ¨ππβ¨really sorry I forgot to mention, you can use that pause button anytime! that one in the lower right corner ππππ
Awesome game, i got all three endings (unless there is one for not blackmailing anyone) and enjoyed the whole way through
omg you really did this! thank you so so much!!! π₯Ήπ₯Ήπ€²π€²π€²ππβ¨ππππππβ¨πβ¨πβ¨πβ¨ππ₯π₯π₯π₯lovelove
The crt effect is really cool, the vibe of the game is very intense and hacker like. I didn't manage to get to the end but its definitely got me curious. I assume I need to hack the nodes to get the ending?
thank you!!!β€β€β€ yeah that's right you need to hack the nodes!
There really isn't any direct music but the sounds are great. I enjoyed the gameplay as is but wished for more. The system used in the game reminded me more of a background puzzle than what it is. However the game is too intense at once. To make gameplay more approrachable it would do good for perhaps maybe an A.I that takes over for the player for a minute. Just for a break in game to do something else within the game. And I don't mean actual A.I I just mean like a character or mechanic or something. Basically something to do besides the main loop.
Otherwise the art was nice and you made a polished and playable game.
thank you!!! It sounds so cool and I really thought about this idea! but I didn't have enough time TwT
I also wanted to add more tools and cipher puzzles, maybe I'll update it when I have time!! β€β€β€β€β€β€β€β€β€β€β€β€β€β€β€β€
You should add skip story btw. But I love this game and I felt like simple business man
added!! thank youβ€β€β€β€
Felt a little too slowpaced but I love how well this works with the theme. I'm a fan of the simple aesthetics
thank you!!! β€β€β€β€β€β€
