Saturated Installation by LDJam user 376294
Introduction
TO AVOID CONFUSION WITH MY GAME, YOU'LL NEED TO ACTIVELY DELETE GAME FILES WHILE THE GAME IS RUNNING TO KEEP UP YOUR SURVIVAL, YOU CAN ALSO UPGRADE THE MEMORY CAPACITY INGAME
This game will manipulates files and folder. The file that the game are working on are only the ones within the game folder itself. The game may create temporary files but thoses files are released when the game is closed. This game is not sentient.
There is no need to worry about the files that are manipulated, those files are unpacked from the game itself and does not include anything that will be executed by the game itself. The game will unpack files like .pdf, .mp3, .ini, etc.
Goal of the game
This is a survival game. You need to survive the longest before the game "installation" folder runs out of space. You’ll start with a limited amount of space that is allowed winthing the game folder. The more you survived the more you can upgrade your software to handle more stuff, but be aware that the more you survived, the harder it gets.
In order to survive the longest, you’ll need to play with the game folder content itself to remove unusual stuff or just to check what it "instals".
01 - Installation
You need extract the game from the zip file onto your computer. Beware that the game will not work if it’s installed in a protected folder, a read only folder or in folders that needs administration rights like “C:\Program Files”.
02 - Gameplay
You might always need the game folder open at all time. That is the reason that this game is only in windowed. Every files that the game creates can be opened to check and understand if this file is worth or not. Be carefull to not destroy game functionality.
03 - Examples
This is what you might find as the game files ingame.
To understand what you might need to do is to check inside every folder except for the “!!THIS FOLDER IS NOT PART OF THE GAME!!”. Maybe there is something not useful inside the “Fame Assets - Maybe” folder? It is for you to delete or make backup of. Is Backuping cheating?
(THE FOLDER CALLED “!!THIS FOLDER IS NOT PART OF THE GAME!!” IS NOT MEANT TO BE PLAYED WITH)

### What to understand first
I am making a game about "file size". In this game you'll need to work with the game file itself. It is a survival game against the game itself.

### I struggled for 4 hours
Yesterday I had a problem with unpacking content into the game folder itself on another computer. My game engines has so much information missing. I found out after the 4th hours of struggling that I need to tell my engine that my files are on my C:\ on my own device I make my game with. This is because the engine itself does the job by itself after making a build of the game and work around the files you tell them to pack/unpack from your main computer.
The thing is that my main game developpement hard drive is my M:\ not my C:\. I found a problem with how my game engine works.
YAY~

To get past the husbando attack and other stuff you need to delete some files that has been created into the game folders OR upgrade your memory into the game itself ;)
Thanks for playing
Awn thank you so much this means a lot! I was really not sure about this concept at first because I felt like everybody would think it's an actual malware or something.
I had a lot more idea for it but got ditch. I had placeholder for the husbando and waifu but I rushed drawing them at the end because I wanted it in the Compo. but that's the joy of the game jam!
Yeah I was not really able to adjust the difficulty properly too I didn't have much time. I has a huge problem with the files that are unpacking.
But thanks a lot!
Oh and I broke the size counter haha:
(I went over 100,000 Ko)
a little more randomness in the pacing of the attacks would've been interesting but for a jam this is already pretty good!
Thanks a lot! this means a lot
I loved your game but I am not able to rate it. Is it over?
