Like other comments have said, it feels so real. I got to the part where I got to the commands, but I couldn't get any further :( and then the text glitched out... I'm really sad about that I wanted to complete the game. Anyways, I really like how different this is.

I've been playing for a half hour and I'm super stuck. I can't figure out what to do with the override commands. Do i have to enter them in morse code? It's hard to get one in between the other errors that stop the button. I gotta review other games for that sweet sweet Karma. But I would love to see a walkthough or something. It's reward to figure it out myself.

Everything was executed so well and so cleanly. Really neat minigames incoporating the filesystem and such. I only wish there were a couple more minigames, but I'm glad the ones that were in were done so well.

So creative and I have no idea how you made the text files work with the game but it was amazing. Really funny writing and an interesting story. Such a well thought out game, it's amazing you built it in a weekend. Only problems I ran into were that Security code X9 wasn't working for me, so I had to restart the game. Also the game crashed at what I assume was the end, but because of the format of the game I couldn't tell if this was intentional or not. The way your game worked was like nothing I have ever played before. I'm really impressed and would definitely pay for an expanded version.
