So I trusted you and turned off all antivirus measures. But this error pops up.

Yeah I'm not sure about this... I'm already regretting downloading this 'game'. It crashed on me with a suspicious error message. It's gonna be a hard pass for me.

I also got an error message when starting it. It triggered my antivirus when starting...

Didn't run for me either, so... I guess it lives up to the title at least!

@chuckeles @splicedev @otresnjak Hey, thank you all for trying it out. I was afraid something like this would happen so I better explain myself here... :-)

@chuckeles it seems this answer is not for you, judging from your tongue-in-cheek way to formulate your comment, it seems you are playing the game right.

For the others, please tell me WHAT the error message is exactly. Does it produce a log file...?

If you only experience anti-virus alerts, that is a different thing, as said in the description, those should be ignored. But if you encounter any further error messages, it might be a good idea to investigate them...

I couldn't start it, immediately came up with an error and outputted an encrypted log, and trying to decrypt the log isn't possible since I don't know what the password is. Shame because this game looks like it would be funny.

@gamepopper Continue, you are already playing it. :-)

@gonutz Okay now you say that, this game just got a bit more interesting. Thanks for filling up my documents folder with thousands of text files. :smirk_cat:

@gamepopper Now you're on to something! :-D

Let me known when you get your errors fixed and have played the actual game :-)

Dudes, keep at it. Apply your brain, you'll figure it out :D

Gotta admit, it's a challange

I just got past the many log files, you can do it, too


No spoilers though :P


Edit: I've done it. That was, well unusual I have to admit, but alot of fun. I tend to like riddles anyway, so a riddle that requires you to come up with creative solutions is right up my alley.

Great game though imho, 5/5

Don't even need to pick up the game to give it 5* for humour. Comments only add to it :~)

Interesting...

Very interesting game indeed! I like this kind of puzzle. Very creative!

stumped at the thousand log files, but what a hilarious and outside of the box creation. love it! :)

Well that's incredibly cool. No points for graphics (obviously). But the humor was interesting satire, and the whole concept is extremely creative. I haven't finished it yet, but I don't see what it has to do with the theme.

I feel dumb right now, I cannot seem to get past the very start of the game (although I know this is part of the game). I tried adding --decrypt-log to the end of the file name, but that doesn't seem to work. :S Really like the premise so far though!

I guess there is some problem with your game... 

@nexusviper I don't see one... ;-)

In case this was not a troll post - let me tell you that you are already playing. Have fun! :-)

Heh... that's clever. I'm embarrassed to say what I had to do to solve the log files... Well done.

@liauj Oh please tell me! I am very excited to hear the creative ways in which people solve my evil puzzles :-)

Congratulations, by the way, on making it through!

@kevin-liu Hey Kevin, how is it going. Have you managed to "play" the game set? :-)

@gonutz I managed to get past the initial part-- now I'm stuck with a ton of log files, hahaha.

Just passed it.. with the help of the "walkthrough" :)

@khaoz-fang you mean the walkthrough of main.go or which one? :-)

Really fun idea! I love puzzles and this one was great. Good job

I'm extremely confused on the text files and I've been trying for over an hour. Can someone please give me a pointer

I did it! I've never felt more accomplished and frustrated in my life!

As annoying as it is, I really love this game. It's very unique and frustratingly funny. I found the auto-save thing hilariously unexpected. I wouldn't have gotten passed the 1000 .log files without looking at main.go. That challenge seemed a bit unfairly tedious, even after combining them into one file and removing the "loading image 'nutshell/computer" text and scrolling through it just because of how massive the one text file was, but other than that, all of the puzzles were very clever and funny. It does fit the theme very well. I spent an hour of my life to "buy" a <5 minute game, but it was worth it. You are evil, this game is evil, but great job!

@muchoswaffles thanks for the great and detailed review! I love to hear how people solve the puzzles and how they feel while doing it - mostly frustrated like you I guess :-)

For the 1000 log files, there are multiple ways of solving that, yours is a good one. I have not even thought about many of them but going with you approach, how about writing a script that replaces the "nutshell/computer"s in the original 1000 text files with nothing and then sorting by file size? I had not thought of this yet.

By the way, that is why I am so proud of this game. It does not give you the solutions and not even the tools to solve it. You basically have to be a programmer to be able to come up with solutions for the puzzles, you need to know your computer and have the right toolbox to get through the game. This is my first entry that is more on the experimental side of things. My other games were classical 2D jump'n'runny games that I am also very proud of but this time I wanted to do something new.

Also big props for interpreting the theme. I was thinking about writing this in the description because I feel the same way about computers in general. They often work terribly and I have spent a large part of my life getting them to work the way I want. That, to me, is what "Your Life is Currency" is about in this game. I did not write this in the decription, though, because people are smart and they can figure things out!

I had the same problem like nexusviper. Sorry that I couldn't play it, but it was probably a good game.

@nexusviper @franciszek-pyrc You played it, you just stopped. Give it another try. You can do it. Solve the error message.
