itch.io

I played the demo for a moment, but got stuck right at beginning. Either it is not working as it should, or I have no clue what to do.

First one thing. I first thought game still wasnt working, but when I hit the enter, I realised what was happening. Point is, when you type with your keyboard, you dont see what you are typing, but you only see what you typed after you press the Return-button, then it displays the text.

This would be good to fix, especially since it was bit annoying trying to figure out where some of the special characters come from my keyboard, when I had to type them and then push the Return to see what happened, instead of being able to push the keyboard and see what character came up.

About the game itself.

I tried to login: administrator, and Password: fake-it_*!* (or however it was), and it didnt let me log in.

Using admin/admin however did work.

After that I used ls to see file inside, and I assume it was showing me two directories, "home" and "etc", however, using "cd home" or "cd etc" didnt work. Was that a bug, or was it not really supposed to work that way?

I also tried "cat home" and "cat etc" in case they were files.

Only other thing I got done was using that whoami, to which I got result of "observer".

It was sort of fun, but getting stuck right at beginning, not knowing why was quite much a bummer.

Also, it is bit problematic that you actually have to know how to use something like DOS to play it. For I could see that some players who have never used DOS could be interested in experimenting how it was in the past with DOS with some fun storyline to try out, but I doubt they got anywhere.

At least tell them to know to use the "HELP"-command, and through there they can get further. I myself used Amiga, and went to Windows directly on PC, so dont really know those commands either, hence would suggest adding (or maybe there even already is) something like HELP command to use with commands to get more indo. Like "HELP LS" would tell what LS does and how it can be used, if there are some options in way of "LS -L", I remember some commands had things like that back in the day.

This way players not familiar with DOS, and those like me who dont quite remember it anymore, or was using different DOS (In my case, AmigaDOS) could get the needed help to be able to work their way forward in learning it.

Anyway, could be fun idea there, but got stuck right at beginning, so didnt really get to see anything if there was fun to be found there.
