I have walked, I have feared, I have wished, I have fevered, I had my wins - and lost another one - I have walked, I run, I weeped, I sweared ... is there anybody in here?
Honestly as much I loved the opening ambience and how well this nails the feeling of being in a derelict server the leap to a full on narrative with a bundled-in arg felt like it defeated the entire atmosphere this had strived to develop, removing all the mystery and desolate wandering in favor of a plotline that -- while undeniably interesting and emotional at times -- didn't make sense with the initial premise of "playing on a bunch of servers people have moved away from," and, if anything, made the experience far more dissonant as a result, since it stopped being clear why the empty fps element even needed to exist in the first place if the main narrative could stand fine without it.
I guess to put it more simply, I don't see why this story needed the empty server aesthetic when it was barely about that beyond the opening and -- going off my own experience retooling narratives to better fit what I was trying to say with them -- could've been told more effectively without it, since the empty servers only served the purpose of being a barebones (and quickly superseded by the out-of-game arg elements) interface for players to access the rest of the story, rather than something that felt like it flowed and evolved with it. You could switch the setting out for any other multiplayer game and it wouldn't feel any different. That plus -- with how much the narrative is relegated to the arg by necessity -- it becomes way too barebones and loses the impact it could have if the game was wholly focused on it, since we get too few snippets to make it feel distinguished from any other horror media about loss and decay and too little to actually connect with the characters over.
I should note that I do respect the amount of work that was put into this a ton and, overall? I did love playing it. It just felt like the focus was too undecidedly split between the story about the couple and the open-ended atmosphere the game premised itself on, with the inability to dedicate itself to either one (a game only about the vacuity and mounting, inexplicable terror in an empty, borderline ephemeral setting vs. a game about a character's failure to move on from loss) for the strengths both of them carry to come through.
(sidenote I do think there's a way you could couple them together, since abandoned locations [however digital or physical] lend themselves perfectly to themes of loss, but it'd require a radically different approach to what the game currently offers)
That haunting early 2000's empty MMOFPS maps that represented the glory of its time with bustling player capacity.
On a random cheap garage sale,an old online game that got cancelled founds its new possesor(or the person that it will posess.)
You start with a ''Place the tape to the television'' image that you can click to and an vintage blue DOS opening screen welcomes you with a close-to-reality oldness and quality.
İn the game selection menu,UI sucessfully emulates that early 90s feel wit the font and old computer screen look.Select a random map that is online and start to have fun(or don't).
In a Catch the Flag game,the realization of the Game's oldness hits you with that creepy and empty feeling cold atmosphere that the game is the most succesful in accomplishing.
Player gets the flag and something weird starts happening and game really shines in that spot
Not to spoil too much; if you are a fan of found footage indie horror,definitely CHECK OUT this game.It is worth your time.
Not joking but this is game is the best Indie Game we ever played! It was sooo amazing and the Story was mind blowing! We solved every riddle in the game and we even downloaded the game “EYE” to progress. Bravo 👏🏻! Please keep it up and make more amazing games like this one!
Im not sure if there are multiple endings - Im assuming there are - either way, this game creeeeped me out! Great work and great scares! Thank you so much for this!
It is ok, but after i finished again and want to play again, it dosen't show the servers, i did everything, redownload, reset, everything, it just dosent work, please fix it.
EDIT: Tried the konami code, it worked. sorry for disturbing.

I remember a night like this
like a foggy memory of being infront of a tv playing a multiplayer game
but no one is online
jokes aside this game was like no other easily a 10/10!
if you are able to play this game
and make sure to keep those lights off :)

What an awesome game!
For some reason, I keep moving to the right without anything actually moving me. Has anyone else encountered this bug or is it just me

I was having the same problem and didn´t know that the konami code would sove it, thanks :)
This game was very spooky and lonely at the same time.
intruder at my server:
i tried to go back but i was too worried
i liked the build up :-) my heart is still pounding, lmao.
un juego bastante interesante, con una ambientación sencilla pero bien lograda. sin duda alguna una buena experiencia de terror.
Could You Add A Build For Windows 32 Bits Pleeeeease
could you get a computer built in the current millennium pleeease
"new"
I'm in the same boat, no clue what to do.

The konami code was a popular code used in old NES video games (that have to be made by konami) to get a bunch of extra lives.
The konami code is for unlocking the servers and bringing it back.

up up down down left right left right a b is a hint
what do i do the the 100 percent save file??
turn it to png or jpg
pretty good game!
how do i play it on chrome book OS?
You need to dual boot into Linux to play any game that is not on the play store. (so you need Linux on your chromebook also)
An old but gold game that made it's appearance a couple years ago, still as good.
