How it feels

A short, retro-styled point-and-click adventure that uses hacking and economy puzzles for mild satire, with a light, punny tone and no real challenge.

What players say

Players say it is short and easy, with simple math puzzles dressed in a nostalgic 90s Windows aesthetic. Many note it feels like a mobile port with poor screen resizing and frame rate issues. The puzzles get repetitive, and the daily achievement for a full year is a grind.
