Fun game, I played through the entire game in a little over two hours. The frantic command line typing reminds me a little of Duskers, but this truely is a unique game of it's own.
I liked how each character's dialog had different formatting. That was a nice touch to make the characters distinct.
yeaaaah! i would love it if the game had sound. i made the whole thing in quite a short period of time, and i had to get back to work on my main project (ikenfell.com), so i didn't have time to create+implement sound.
it might be nice to do a Version 2.000 later on and add sound
Hey! Not working on Windows 10 Pro 1903. All I got is black screen and white rectangle in center. After that game quits. Let me know if I can be of help.
Can you try updating the game and running it again? My theory is that you are in a country whose system defaults to using comma decimals, which would break my JSON loader. I added a fix for this and would like to know if it works!

This is pretty great! Couple of puzzles ended up being quite a few tries despite knowing exactly what to do, but generally I enjoyed the style and the atmosphere a great deal.
Odd question, though - trying to avoid spoilers as best I can, I've been asked for a song. I have no idea what to do. Just an endlessly blinking cursor and no progress, no idea what I should be doing for that request. There's not even any sound in the game anyway! Am I missing something obvious?
Ahoy! I've tried to run the game several times without any luck. All I get is a blank screen. Pressing F minimizes the window or restores fullscreen. No audio, nothing.
have you had a chance to try it with mac yet? i'm worried that you bought the game and never got to play it (in which case i can look into refunding you)
Howdy! I do not have a Mac. Sorry for the confusion and delay in reply (was traveling for work).
So far I haven't been able to play it. But I haven't lost hope. I'll try on my desktop computer, and I'll try from the itch client instead of by direct download and see if it works. :D If there is anything I can do to help you diagnose the problem just let me know! :D

thanks! glad you enjoyed it, and also glad you enjoyed the little visual flairs :)
Amazing game! Every new feature and step along the way kept me involved and super entertained.
One small wish for a further update: just a little sound, maybe when the player does a certain 'noise 1'...

Really enjoyed this game! The puzzles were challenging without feeling unfair, and I liked the writing. Pairs well with the Hacknet soundtrack!
haha thanks! listening to a hacky soundtrack while playing is a really good idea! :)

Hello! I have also the same problem (Windows 10). I ran the game from the command line and it gave me this output:
https://pastebin.com/xEV6NTNd
For me, it seems like it failed to parse a number from a JSON object. But maybe it's not the case for you.
I got the error with JSON running from the console as well. If I run it directly it's the black screen and white rectangle.
i’ll try to upload a fix for this today and post back here when it’s uploaded

You did it! It works! Good job.
awesome! thanks for replying and updating me

It works for me too!
I am indeed from a region that uses comma decimals.
Thank you!
Update: I ran into a new problem :(
The first 2 levels run fine, but after the 3rd one is loaded, the game crashes.

Same issue here.
I'm having the same issue.
Is there a fix?
edit: changed the formatting to Canadian English in Windows settings. All fine now.

the answer is in the title
God dammnit I can't believe I didn't try that command.
Thanks!

Any ideas?
can you give me any information about what OS you’re running?
Windows 10 Pro 1909, Dell XPS 13 9370.
Sorry, I didn't realize you added a mac build.
if you have a mac apparently it only works if launched *from* the itch.io app (even on catalina)
have you had a chance to try it with mac yet? i'm worried that you bought the game and never got to play it (in which case i can look into refunding you)

Welp, no luck on the desktop computer (also Windows 10 Pro).
Tried it from the Itch app as well as running it directly.
If I run it directly I see a window saying it's downloading some plugins and creating a tmp directory. But otherwise that's it.
'Q' exits, 'F' toggles fullscreen. Am I just dumb? Is this just how it starts? O.o
