Very creative, I did bring out a morse code translator and the hexadecimal color search to decode the messages and the code pattern, which was fun to do to get to the end. I also really liked the prompt at the end, which reminded me of one of the Nier's endings.
I guess my character would have sent out: .. / .- -- / . .- - .. -. --. / -.-. .... .. .--. ... / .- -. -.. / ... .- .-.. ... .- --..-- / .- -. -.. / .. / .- -- / .- .-.. .-.. / --- ..- - / --- ..-. / -.-. .... .. .--. ...
Loved this a lot. The mood is immaculately done, and the gameplay elements extending beyond the window are really grand.

Enjoyed this one on my first playthrough even though I died unceremoniously firing up the bioreactor. As weird as it would maybe be, this thing could be expanded to a pretty cool "full game", IMO. Just have to write... hundreds and hundreds of thousands of words of text, nearly all of which is OS-speak. T-T
I will return to try this one again—trying to review as many entries as possible. It's a um... rather short list so far. :)
Thanks! Yeah, it sure has its trick to tell the player what is going on with only OS speak. figuring out how to do minigames with ArcWeave was a head scratcher, some didn't make the cut. Glad you liked it!
I feel ya on the arcweave thing. Once I realized I could make timers and TWO buttons that weren't choices, and I could move buttons / make them invisible based on variables... it opened it up a lot but I didn't have time to USE this opening at all. Made a NES-style typewriter-text-in with bloopity noises for dialogue — didn't use it cuz scared it would break on mobile... but yeah you could in theory make a reasonably well featured sokoban game or a board game like Catan inside of ArcWeave if you wanted to write completely insane CSS. :D
I don't think ArcWeave intends to allow as much CSS as they *do*, honestly.

You right! I added transcription for accessibility, but telling them to get the audio and something to write dots and dashes might prepare the player. Thanks for the feedback!
You’re very welcome!
