Change of perspective

A game about indie game developers, which gives us the players a glimpse of their world. Ironically, the first assignment in the characters soul crushing day job is to enable a DRM. You find the puzzles either inside the characters PC in "real life" or by exploring the VR game inside the game. You will not develop new algorithms, but you will reconfigure unchangeable code by setting variables to limited available values or to other variables of the same or other objects. This means you only need to analyze the code and not rewrite it. How fast you can solve the puzzles depends on how fast you understand the code snippets. Experienced programmers will solve them quickly, but probably get reminded of how they did a similar bug themselves, because they are very real / common ones. Like it is with software, fixing one bug might create a new one: If you fix a display showing inappropriate content by replacing it with a picture of different size, the game closes the first bug just to open another one for wrong scaling. The map has kind of a 3d aspect: Where there is a little doors symbol you can go in-/outside. Sometimes these were missing and it took me a while to see where the level went on (especially in the 'reboot level'). Technically it's fine, I never encountered a crash or game breaking issue and you can rebind keys even to other mouse buttons than left/right. The story reminds you there are real humans on "the other side of the net". The sometimes depressing parts are accompanied by passion and determination. A recurring line in the story is "reality is cruel", but the story is centered around reality being formed by all of us and that it's the greedy or plain stupid people who make reality cruel. Just give it a try if you are not afraid of a look behind the scenes of the industry.

I would juts add if you are pixel art entusiast like me and dabble in pixel, i belive this game serves a very nice example for inpiration and ideas for you to do something of your own in pixel art.

So. Incredibly. Boring.

Nice pixel art, but otherwise very boring game. I didn't encounter any technical issues before I gave up on it. The idea of the code puzzles is neat on paper but doesn't work well in practice, the entire game feels like a chore, slogging through the pointless backgrounds. The walking speed is very slow - running is there but it's easy to miss the interactive spots so it works poorly at the end. I deeply regret I paid for this.

Great game but clumsy controls

The title says it all. Could have been five stars if the control was a better.
