I wanna play your game, but I have only Linux Mint on my machine. I can't rate your game, sorry. See our game (it's multiplatform).

I played it but I don't think the big screen in the room reflects the changes I made to the computers. A good general idea though.

I had a lot of fun snooping on other people's business. [Illuminati confirmed]

Neat concept but... i didn't really see the game portion. Every time i went to a computer and ran the virus thing and the cleaner and then went to the door and shut down nothing persisted.. like the game resets after you look at a computer.

so there's no win state and there's no progression, all that i could do was view some humorous pics and folders which is a bit funny but not really fun.

@benjamin-armour to be honest, that was left to implement... in that sense, this is more of an "experience" than a "game", depending on your defenition of game :stuck_out_tongue: But thanks for checking out our project anyway!

I love the idea, and the experimental feel of the game, having no win state and relying only on the humour en joy of discovery is a very ballsy move.
However it lack consistency:
* The graphics on the menu and on the rest of the game doesn't fit
* Same for the audio, the menu theme has nothing to do with the Bossa nova (and having music only on the shop room is a bit frustrating.
Did you actually make this Bossa nova theme ? I love it.
Anyway, very original idea :)

Thank you for your reply @marcenat !

Indeed, the graphics are a bit odd... to be honest, we were praticly a team of 2 people, and neither was a "lead artist", we kinda just put things toghether, and spent most of the time working on the computer interfaces themselfs and on the characters we wanted to be present

also, no, the Bossa Nova is a version of "Garota do Ipanema". The idea was to give that vibe of "this is a plain pc store, with some pcs and some background music". Sorry if that wasn't what passed on... we'll try to be better next time! ;)

It's not much of a game with real gameplay, but is fun anyways.
