I have no idea if the rating will show on comments, but i will post the same here
I created a account just to say how good was playing this game <333
The history is good, the gameplay is fluid and i loved the graphics <3
The song for the credits is also a good taste, the characters that talk to you feel alive, all of them have charisma
Very creative, i can't belive i found this gem on a random comment from reddit (they are the best)
Love from Brasil <3
!Spoiler!
I forgot that you can play NOISE 1 at the ending and just spammed Ping 1 and tought i was making music with the little sounds that it makes xD
Played this all in one sitting, audio didn't work for me for some reason, but honestly I thought that was intentional, the silence. It was a really fun and challenging game while being really really fun, I loved solving each challenge and the ending was beautiful <3
Amazing game. Was recommended to me after I had recommended Duskers to someone. The sound and ambience adds a whole lot to this. Fun mechanics, and didn't overstay its welcome.
I downloaded some game that caught my attention due to its style, I thought that I would play it for 10 minutes and either delete it because puzzles are not my thing (I'm stupid) or the game would end very quickly (as often happens with games from itch.io), but in the end I spent about 2 hours of my life on a good stealth-puzzle and I won't even delete it after completing it.
!Spoilers!
Throughout the game, the mechanics were constantly being supplemented and changed, not letting you get bored with the puzzles, and the puzzle levels themselves were made perfectly (it's quite difficult to type a lot on the timed levels because I have clumsy hands:D). The plot, despite its banality, pleased with the logic of what the characters do (But the enemies without firearms made me laugh, but they don't need them to hack the character's system with just one look and disable our access). Towards the end, the game mechanics became even more interesting (I had to press commands even faster and more, my poor hands). And then the main villain came out, whose trajectory of movement simply turned into randomness, because of which sometimes I had to press commands like crazy to buy a little time, and the very end pleased me with the fact that the villain did not stand on ceremony and began to take away our abilities and at the same time the levels themselves began to adapt to these complications
WAIT, DID THEY ARE FLY TO MY ADDRESS? WHAT THE FU-
The teleportation technology is called the facsimile, fax for short. In my imagining of the technology, it would destroy you and transfer your dust to the endpoint, reconstructing you there, but faxes had to be connected by some sort of physical conduit. So they have teleportation technology, but it does not work across empty air or vacuum.
i sat down and thought of a game where you help someone infiltrate a location and stealth around the facility. i decided i need references and inspirations, so i tried to find games for it, only 2 days later did i remember itch exists, so i open this, put in the "hacking" (or hacker?) tag and this was the SECOND (first, if talking about free ones) games on the list. A GAME THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I HAD IN MIND
right down to the gameplay itself, this is so close to what i thought of gameplay wise and i can't even be mad that what i wanted to make has been done already, bc it's SO well done here. this is beautiful, the storytelling, the immersive gameplay, the difficulty (as someone who prides myself over my typing speed, this was very humbling) and the visuals too
only thing is it would've been nice if there was any audio at all, just some funky computer sounds when you do things but other than that this is such a nice experience and i'm so glad i played it. thanks a lot for this!!!
edit: i just checked and they made ikenfell too? thats the OTHER game i wanted to play like 2 days that was so close to my idea of what i wanted to make... crazy
Haha thanks for the kind words, that's pretty funny that you thought of such a similar idea. There are actually a very small handful of other games with similar mechanics, but NOISE1 is definitely the most lo-fi one I know of.

Did not expect myself to get emotional over ascii characters but here we are
This was amazing, everything about it was perfect. The later puzzles were hard but fun and the ending was phenomenal. Keep it up!!!
Thanks for playing :)

Very good game, I really love the ASCII graphics and the sounds are also awesome. It perfectly runs on linux through wine.

Yeah audio would've been neat, I agree.
Well I ended up adding Audio to the game haha https://chevyray.itch.io/noise1/devlog/787954/version-20-now-with-sound
