I am extremely smitten with this game, so all of my critique is about the set dressing--not the great game front & center.
This is the only pressing issue I found: the OS button that brings up the dropdown for the terminal, map & everything else is right below the close button on Windows. I was playing windowed instead of fullscreen and I accidentally closed it once, you might want to move the taskbar somewhere else the screen, or let the user configure its location for those clumsy players such as myself. Also, in the future I'd like the launcher to save my settings, I had to reset it to windowed each time I launched. Now everything else is nitpicking, I'd like to be able to ls directories instead of having to cd into the directory I want to ls, I'd like to be able to use semi-colons to split commands without needing to <RET> between each command, I think it'd be cool if bin/ actually contained all the executable commands, and I'd like the mail button to show all the mail instead of closing the mail window if I'm looking at a specific email. And may I please have neofetch & scrot.
I think I did cause a parsing error & had to abort the game (happened at roughly the 5 minute mark in the playthrough). Here's pastebin of what popped up https://pastebin.com/gD2iZ2YM
Overall I think the gameplay is great--it really reminded me of when I installed linux for the first time and I just spent hours going through all the manpages, and the ＡＥＳＴＨＥＴＩＣ perfectly captures a /g/ desktop thread. It delivers the fantasy of being a Hollywood hacker expertly. Here's a video of my (second, I forgot to adjust the video resolution for the first) playthrough of Hack[ware]. I'm excited to see what gets added in the future & how development progresses!
