Very clever take on the theme, and I definitely liked the bits of lore. Feels a bit incomplete - definitely ends abruptly - but a great concept!

Thanks! We definitely wanted to get a lot more content in there; we had a few different assets and sequences that didn't quite make it in, but we didn't get the chance to implement them.

Oh well! It's a learning experience, right? Haha!

So.. this was great. It invoked a very unique mood- Nostalgia mixed with.. something else. Really great mood. The idea was very nice as well! Good job!

This feels incomplete, but I love the idea. I would have loved to see what kinds of puzzles you could come up with for this concept.

Is it possible to make an executable instead of installing flash to play it ?

I'm assuming that when the screen goes white, it means I won...

Was definitely hoping for more. This could definitely go more places. The "Take", "Delete" and "Restore" options hint at that and I can see needing to browse email or programs for bits of information or digital widgets to fill your home folder. Plus, there is hints of a story and I'd be interested to see it unfold.

does your musician have a soundcloud page? I've been listening to the serenity fields track all day

My five stars for the theme interpretation. It's a very clever choice, nicely done (what a work on the "GUI", though!)

Good job!

Note: biting comment to follow, but rest assured, I liked the game, and gave a lot of stars for it.

I thought the was cute, but the objective wasn't very clear. The controls are a little cumbersome, with the need to wait until wonderlink reaches a location before allowing the only available action, open to take place. Combined with needing to close the window often, I'm often annoyed at how much I have to move the cursor. While I love the music, I thought it was rather unfitting for the game. I expected something more mellow.

Still, great work.

I feel like there's more to this that I somehow can't get to, since I never had to enter the password (Even though on the screenshot there is a password entry box) and never got to see the room in the 3rd screenshot.

The game just faded to white after I opened Internet Adventurer, which I can only assume is a bug.
