This is the first story-based entry I've come across so far. Great, layered use of the theme.

I love that jaunty music. Gives you the proper creeps.

I think it'd be great if you can get a clue in the cheaper nodes too, just to give more illusion of progress. (Although story-wise, it makes sense that the important info is hidden behind harder-to-hack nodes.)

I couldn't figure out the 2nd number so I kept guessing using the other three that I know. Maybe you can also punish players for guessing randomly. :)

Hi !
Thank you for your comment !
Yeah the absence of clues in the beginning is kind of necessary to the story in my sense.
I was planning to put a set number of tries together with different endings depending on the time you take to guess but, you know, time ^^
Just a clue for the second one: take a random cartoon and look at the hands of the characters ;)

Happy you liked the game !
