My childhood experiences were a huge help in beating this game. I never imagined that something like this would count as early education.

Enjoyable for what it was! Some sections felt poorly translated, and a few sections of the puzzles felt unfair to the point of impossible without a guide, but overall it did what it set out to do, made me laugh a couple of times, and is worth the small price tag for 90 minutes or so of content if this game seems like your kind of vibe!

The puzzles are entertaining and I like the theme. Some of them are really devious and will make you think, how did I miss that detail? Sometimes it'd be nice if there were more hints within the text, though. Also, it's inherently funny to be buying/running an application called Malware on purpose. The game is a little short but it has workshop support which is nice.

my computer crashed after booting it up the first time and I sat there for 5 minutes thinking it was the game 10/10

I briefly considered refunding this before my 2 hour window was up but changed my mind after deciding the broken english and general jankness of the UI was hilarious. The story sounds like something a high teenager would have come up with as a computer science project. It devolves into a checkbox scavenger hunt after the third or fourth "level" and I had to translate a chinese guide as the solutions are often completely nonsensical. I unironically fucking love every second of it. Is the game worth 3 dollars? It was for me. Would your 3 dollars be of better value being spent on literally anything? Probably. Can you buy 2 hours of entertainment for anywhere near 3 dollars in this economy? No, I don't think you can.
