I wrote the hints on the back of my paystub and if that isn't the perfect visual for this game I don't know what is. It's true what they say about WORK.
This was really fun to play through! I enjoyed the integration of the websites into it all, and how there was no real guidance at all.
The last puzzle took a bit to figure out. Somebody in my Twitch chat mostly solved it lol. Took me ages to figure out how to use the final answer, though. Wasn't until I said "Screw it" that I realized that the action I took was what you were actually supposed to do.
Can you fix the file to make it downloadable through the itch launcher? I think you need a tag of some sort to say the file is for windows or something.
It's a very nice premise, but also very difficult with very little direction. I had to look up walkthroughs for 90% of it, and even then I could not understand the ciphers.
I had an amazing time playing your game, Mojiken! I really can't overstate how hooked I was. I love the style, I love the story, I loved the puzzles. Is this inspired by Katana Zero? *Maybe a spoiler??? Following 3,2,1:** I have to admit that I solved the last thing using chatGPT. I only had a minute remaining in my day when I got the third report, so I quickly entered it in GPT and it solved it.
This was a fun short experience. The puzzles aren't too crazy difficult beyond needing a sheet of paper and some time. Pausing the game DOES stop the timer, which was crucial for copying down some of the clues without so many resets. Nails the time-loop gimmick along with production quality.
MINOR SPOILER
I ended up finding the GitHub for the companion website though, so I found the cipher out of order. In the long run, it didn't ruin the experience though.
Would be cool to see an RPG YouTuber like ManlyBadassHero play this.
Hey I really enjoyed this game and i'm surprised I haven't heard about it more. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and feeling that the game give 10/10. The only complaint I have is that some of the puzzles? were too hard :( I spent like 40 minutes stuck on one part lol. anyways I made a gameplay video on this I hope you can check it out thanks!
I "finished" the game and I'm arrived at the point that all is WORK WORK WORK WORK.
I can't buy that this is the end, apart from the popup message, there are still the CREDITS unresolved and the coffee machine. I don't know, it feels deeper.
@mojiken there is a way to reset the game to try for more, or I've finished it and I'll only lose time?
I totally skipped the clock hint and judging by the other comments it was sheer luck I did it in time.
Anyway, great game, it was really fun and engaging, thanks!
Putting the link to the decoding guide on the second report is pretty devious. It got me bumping against a wall for a while making me smash the codes through hex and base64 and then there's this website that checks the code against all sorts-a different cyphers...
Also the C at the beginning of the reboot code is redundant and misleading. Makes figuring the puzzle out a bit tedious.
Anyways cool game 10/10 !!!!
By the way, I'm reading other comments and they say that if you turn the game on again after finishing it a black screen is supposed to open and a sound but when I try it just deletes the game's executable.
This test was crazy, the way it plays with game mechanics and go beyond to do puzzles similar to an arg felt so fascinating and satisfying.
I do have a thing that made me irritated,
The puzzle for the reboot of the computer is kind of confusing. For reminder a set of letters like c,a,b,d etc.. corresponds to an order to activate a computer. It's hard to guess that the first computer corresponds to a first input.So if u screwed up your last letter on your first try you have to do the order of computers 2 times to get it right because of the 1st letter not being in the cycle. (sorry if I'm not clear)
this is frustrating because of the time limit.
Anyway it still is a game I loved and recommand even though it demands a lot of dedication.
Fun experiance! The puzzles were really fun! I felt really smart for solving a bunch of them. The art and the atmosphere are really well done, and even the way the itch page is written/designed helps draw you into the world.
-- Spoilers --
I got through everything relatively smoothly until I got the third report. Had to watch a guide to figure out what the solution to that was. I might have been able to solve the final puzzle but the "clock" hint was a little too cryptic for me personally. Maybe if the lobby clock was in base 10 it would have been easy to notice that your clock was wrong which is clearly a hint, but the reason to the time difference wouldn't be obvious at first.
akhirnya selesai juga ini game, puzzle nya bener² melompat jauh dari asftu,lebih ribet dan bikin marah karena bingung, apa lagi waktunya yang terbatas untungnya itu konsep game loop jadi bisa mencoba terus menerus.
Game pixel nya selalu keren, bener² bagus banget, soundtrack dari ittou ga pernah mengecewakan.
Concept time rewind nya juga dari efek udah bagus, bener² seperti menggambar kan orang yang terkena time loop karena efek glitch nya.
Need more breaking 4th wall🏃 i wish breaking 4th wall get more upgrade and look good.
I played it with a friend while sharing information with a friend.
The mystery part was quite difficult and the glitch factor was a bit scary but very enjoyable!
The pixel art of the houses, trains, and workplaces is great, and the sound effects and special effects that complement it are good and add to the atmosphere of the game.
Really fun game! Unfortunately, it took me 3 days to figure out how to finish this game. I managed to beat it except for finishing one clue. Check timestamps for help.
Great game as usual, Mojiken. The puzzle are great. They remind me of an ARG. Personally, I didn't like the character movement, especially at the server room. But overall, It's a great game.
just finished the game (or at least i think so, i kinda believe that the test is not over) If there's one complain it would be that C at server sequence. it only throw me off once, but would be much better without it. other also already pointed it out, so..
im also still wondering about the coffee, the credit, and a couple random number that maybe will lead somewhere. but anyway great game. love your stuff mojiken. keep it up
Well I finished it. But I'm wondering how to reset your data. I would like to replay it from scratch eventually. I even tried deleting the file and re-downloading the game. But it remembers. Reminds me of another Undertale situation. Got any advice? Thanks
Update: Okay my sister and I searched far and wide for these save files. Every time we thought we had a lead it would be a dead end. We deleted BIN files, TOC files, APP DATA, edited player information in the Mojiken Studios file. We even looked for common save data files such as . GAM,. SAV, . ROM. Nothing would give this game a fresh restart. My best advice to you is to make a new account on your computer and download the game. Or play it on a different computer. If you want to replay the game. Otherwise you'll be stuck forever with Work, Work, Work, Work and typing noises. Hopes this helps anyone else.
Wow! This game is absolutely awesome, loved all the ARG and decryption puzzles in there, and the game loop was insanely well designed. Was this inspired by stuff like Steins;Gate and Outer Wilds perhaps? I can see some similarities to both. I am very excited to see what comes next!
One bug I found: Whenever you access the pause menu, the background is still interactable. If you interact with things in the background while paused and press continue, the interaction is lost. It is only possible to bring it back by again pausing and interacting with the background, when you continue it will allow interaction again. This almost made me fail at 11:59

I feel like I'm too stupid for this game.
but the graphics and the music are amazing.
Is it possible to play the game again?
My friends and I solved the puzzles together and it was mindblowing figuring out some stuff
——Spoiler—–
the number pi lol
This is a Great Game , for me a person who arent a fan of point and click games , you caught me with this one...well done
Best game on Itch. I played for 1 hour and absolutely loved it. The puzzles are so good. 10/10
Can you fix the file to make it downloadable through the itch launcher? I think you need a tag of some sort to say the file is for windows or something.
The game was GREAT. I played it while in school and honestly I did need a walkthrough to get through most of it, but it was REALLY fun
here are clues to make solving the puzzles easier not a guide on how to "finish" the game.
------SPOILER-----------
1.The note mention's the time for both D2 and event elev.
2.The urls are real.
2.The Docs have hidden massages, look for glitches.
4.to dechiper understand correspondence.
5.The first c is actually for before activating the sequence.
6.to solve the equation, remember the Clock's sequence (Don't count the zero when solving.)
also, there are report ids all over the game, they are like easter eggs try to Find em all.
I played this game because of your comment. Thank you!
The note mention the file destruction time.
The elevator guy ask for help in a text message which was sent at "11:53" and he asks to meet him NOW.
FANTASTIC GAME!!!
Thank you for all the love and care into this one. I've been needing some good puzzles for a while!
------SPOILER-----------
Keep your eyes and ears peeled for August 4th.
Neat little easter egg in one of the files on the computer. Take the code and put it into the ID number in your browser.
one of the best games i played on itchio
took me 3 hours to complete it even with a friend, but it was worth it. liked the premise
It's a very nice premise, but also very difficult with very little direction. I had to look up walkthroughs for 90% of it, and even then I could not understand the ciphers.

Help me I'm trapped in this void I can't get out please help me please

(just know this isn't actually for real this is just
…)
Can I play this on mac?
this is a test comment
The first floor is the floor you enter the building on, though. If the problem is that you can't access the event then
(hint ahead)
the "Now" part of the message is important too.
It's no problem, your message was kind of fun to read. Hope you're able to finish the game!
wth what a nice way to use comment section
didn't know you can insert gifs among the text like that
Show post...
heres a test for you:
Cool game!
...but...
Anyways cool game 10/10 !!!!

what game engine do you use?
Not the dev but this was definitely Unity. You can tell by how its packaged.
