How it feels
A deliberately frustrating maze game where the controls sabotage you with real Windows keyboard shortcuts, turning basic navigation into a struggle against both the game and the operating system.

What players say
Players describe a short, meta puzzle game that uses Windows hotkeys as its core mechanic, often tricking them into hitting Alt+F4. They find it frustrating but hilarious, and appreciate that the quick loading makes accidental closures painless.
