You play it by opening folders, reading, occasionally deleting or typing text.

You are in a parallel future of 2034 and there is a spook radio station that you must find and destroy, avoiding droners.

This is neat! Highly

This is neat! Highly coincidentally, I have also posted a game here which incorporates numbers stations and is played by navigating folders.

As a side note, in Windows Notepad the text files all display without line breaks when you open them because Notepad only recognises one kind of line break character and it's not the kind you used. You could fix this if you wanted, but it's kind of Notepad's problem. Also, when I tried extracting it with Windows Explorer it ignored (or couldn't see) everything beyond the Your Next Steps folder. Windows seems pretty awful in general, huh?

Thanks!!

Ah, wow, twins!

I love the concept of Alpha Duck 5100. Enjoyed the video. Couldn't figure out how to open XXXXX.mp4 tho.

Thanks for the line-break comments. Would be interested in hearing how to make it work for PC/wordpad.

Do you think this would work better as a Twine-ish game rather than folders? Is the folders too twee?

twine is great for some

twine is great for some quick self expression thing, but i think the biggest problem when people make twine things is not having any sense of pacing (of which i am also very guilty, because i'm lazy)

If you extract it using 7-Zip or something, the other folders should show up.
