CONTENT WARNING: GAME CONTAINS FLASHING LIGHTS, LOUD SOUNDS, AND THEMES OF DEATH. PLAY AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION.

       

You wake up inside a freezing, pitch-black basement office at night. The power grid has completely collapsed following a massive storm. Despite the entire house being dead, a heavy, beige, 1995 CRT monitor sits on the desk, loudly buzzing and casting a sickly teal glow. The power cord is sitting completely unplugged on the linoleum floor. As you hit the power switch, the machine boots into a legacy, a fragmented environment shell, forcing you to investigate a series of locked directory files to discover why the machine is running. And soon enough, you'll recover all the parts you had forgotten about yourself too. Or at least, the parts you wish you had forgotten about.

Features:

  • About 1k Words (around 30 mins of gameplay to achieve all endings)
  • 3 Endings Total (2 main endings +1 secret ending)
  • Point and Click Investigation
  • Choices that Matter
  • Text-based slow-burn psychological horror

Extra Info & Controls:

  • Escape [esc] - settings menu
  • Skip - only appears if you've already seen the text (bottom right corner of screen/textbox)
  • If it feels like you are stuck on a screen, the game is probably waiting for you to click to move on.
  • Downloading the game will give you a more immersive experience because the game can detect the computer name and use that to refer to the player - if you play in browser, you will just be referenced to as "web_user"
  • Fullscreen for best gameplay experience

Disclaimers: 

  1. This game is something I made for fun so it is not meant to be a legitimate or serious project. Merely treat this game like it's a little showcase for something I worked on to pass time. Feedback and comments are always appreciated, however, this game will most likely not receive any future updates.
  2. The AI tag was added because it was used for coding assistance. The rest of the game was done by me.
