About This Game

Your uncle has given you his old PC as living inheritance. To your surprise, it still turns on! Inside, a letter tasks you with investigating a missing person’s case along with a mysterious puzzle game named Desktop Explorer. You’ll learn that your uncle wasn’t the only one who used this computer before, and that the program inside it has a deeper role in this 90s atmospheric digital mystery.

You’ll have to maneuver through a simulation of an old, fictional operating system. Desktop Explorer encourages out-of-the-box approaches to puzzle solving as common computer features become gameplay elements. Modifying files, reading their source code, or even changing the date settings in the computer might help you find the next clue. Nothing is off the table!

Each past user left behind a myriad of digital activities. Learn about their thoughts and worries, then see how Desktop Explorer used these details against them.

An innocent chatroom used to form long distance friendships becomes a playground for eerie riddles set in an “uninhabited” virtual space. Explore offline 3d spaces and see how they influence the computer’s files in real time!

A terminal prompter turned into retro puzzle adventure will have you switching between text-adventure interactions and a point-and-click perspective.

Conquer Desktop Explorer’s multiple facets in puzzle solving while keeping your guard up against its ominous tendencies.

You’ll have access to forgotten user profiles, each with their own documents, images, journal entries, etc. However, examining these files alone won’t uncover the deepest mysteries surrounding this machine. Connect the dots between cached websites and read between the lines in what’s seemingly ordinary. If you gaze too long into a machine, the machine will also gaze into you.
