So I decided to give it a go. And peek at the files, it appears there is an admin login of sorts, but I cant quite figure out how to get that to proc. There also appears to be some sort of verdict thing as well with some detective. Hmmmmm.
Haha, curiosity got the better of you! The worst OS has also been released for use in state police departments. but that’s not related to game dev. You can check it out here: At Sixes and Sevens.
Makes sense. Thanks Worst Event, I was prodding at trying to figure out how to invoke a logout function or set myself as administrator for a long time using the functions available in the terminal :)
Hey, uh... I can't download the Windows version. I operate on Win 10
if you are using itch client then you should try downloading it from the web on browser.
Nothing
I've lied, it just downloaded
After the initial phrase, I only get a black screen in Windows

```Thanks for the detailed specs and console output.
There have been some known issues with AMD GPUs when running Godot games. In many cases, this is fixed by updating the GPU driver, so please try updating your AMD graphics drivers and see if that resolves the issue.
As an alternative, you can also try turning off AMD FreeSync in the AMD driver settings.
If the problem still persists, please try running the game from the command line with MSAA disabled:
--rendering/anti_aliasing/quality/msaa=0As a last suggestion, you can try forcing the OpenGL renderer:
--rendering-driver opengl3Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for taking the time to report this and test the suggestions.
Thank you! I first tried with MSAA disabled, but it didn’t work. Forcing OpenGL worked even with my GPU driver outdated. Then I tried again with the latest driver update, and it opened perfectly, with no flags.
I still opened it through the console to check if any errors occurred, and it showed an error that appeared with almost every action in the game:
ERROR: The InputMap action "toggle_terminal_menu" doesn’t exist. Did you mean "terminal_clear"?
at: (core/input/input_map.cpp:263)
By the way, this game looks good. I feel stuck at some point, like I don’t know what to do. I really tried hard to find something. I don’t blame you, it’s all on me. Thank you for your time, and keep it up!
Edit: Sorry for my confusion at first! I honestly felt stuck, like there was nothing to do except refresh emails. But now I realize that’s exactly the joke: it’s a satire of game development, showing the frustration and the sense of doing “nothing” while waiting for progress. I think it’s really clever how you captured that feeling with such minimal mechanics. It’s very meta, and now I appreciate the humor much more.
Glad you've managed to play the game in the end and Yeah we have way too many normal, useless error messages that there is no need to worry about them at all :)) Also appreciate your appreciation! :

Looks like it's not a sale.
Just a temporary download.
Honestly, as a dev, this was painfully accurate—bugs, doubts, and endless chaos. Great job showing all of that inside a game.
I've been following you guys for a while now and this is something i know only you guys could ever make
what a great experience
jeeez that was too realistic ...
The game is fantastic, rhe developers are shorly very creative! Withot any doubet
excited to try this out :)
