Have some mercy
I use Godot myself for most of my projects, it's great how the entire install is just ~100MB with an included code editor! I can even run it on my phone! Of the major engines available right now, it suffers the least of the issues I demonstrated in this game π
I can assure you, no viruses of any kind were involved in the making of this game π
I'm glad I nailed the "scuffed OS" feel though π
This is more of a statement or a piece of expressive art, which is kind of a first for me. Usually I make silly little games π
Great little game!
Nice game and legit OS simulator. Installation steps may have triggered my PTSD :)
I tried to open many files, but the game won't let me see them. :[
How can I start doing a real gamedev if it doesn't let me procrastinate?

The game delivered.
The art style is good. The content of every New Document (1), (2) and (3) is great. I recommend everyone to check them out.
It is so cool that you are using your own engine! π― I usually use Godot or hand-write Javascript like this.
Jokes aside, I did not get around to making contents for the files.
Otherwise cool concept, loved the deleted files percentage at the end

I'm glad you were still able to play the game! π
I do upgrade my hard drives quite regularly, but I still always end up running out of space π
Also on the deleting aspect, it felt weird deleting memories and files like that, almost like I was sorting my own HD. The art was on point, and it was fun, I really enjoyed this very creative take on the theme.
that's a joke of course, and i enjoyed the game... i ended up deleting almost everything except the document that says don't delete :) i had fun
I'm glad my emotions got across as intended with this game π
Hope I didn't traumatize you all too much π
Sat with a smile for the rest of the game. Very cool conveyed the feeling of this situation.
Are the stats at the end really collected from the players?
Yes, the stats are collected from other players!
Really well played, annoying music and sounds with each crash/error message could amplify this (even put input controls in the registration if you whant to be devilish)
Great, right on topic.
@alexis-brochec I wanted to add some error sounds, but I felt they were a little too annoying π Maybe I'll add it as an option though.
@soul-grinder Thank you π
@tpace Yeah, they make a lot of annoying products π¦
