This game sure was a surprise for me, but a welcome one nonetheless. It has a lot of content to offer, with many types of inmersive and well achieved parody versions of pretty much every computer OS ever covering Windows, Mac and even 8-bit based machines from all the way back then. Not only that, but it also takes advantage of the key features of said emblematic OS and transform them into reward systems to the player for experimenting and playing around with them, including a fake web browser, the trash bin (which acts as a tamagotchi of some sort) and even commands in the CMD.
The core problem I see with it is the gameplay which, despite being a noble idea and being actually fun and relieving, it becomes way too repetitive way too quickly, especially if you want to obtain the Pro and Expert versions of each system. I mean it when I say there really is no point in grinding the game besides unlocking some extra interfaces which are more of the same thing to begin with, it really becomes that tiring after a while, but I guess that's why it is a hypercasual game...

Fun game. I like the steam version too

imagine if i could play this on my computer that would be so cool

this one's fun, I like this one

legalzinho, ainda mais se vc pegar as referencias de coisas antigas de PC e old internet

The game has a lot of content, which is a good thing, but the progression is somewhat slow and repetitive. It feels like the game was designed with a focus on mobile, and when transitioning to the computer, they poorly implemented mechanics that were previously paid.

One cool aspect is that the resolution for my monitor only became available after unlocking the corresponding monitor. Besides the normal mode, there are a few other common computer games like pinball and solitaire, along with mechanics involving the trash can and the command prompt.

There are several versions of Windows, a different mode that you unlock much later, and an 8-bit version. However, it didn't quite grab me to unlock everything since it requires doing something repetitive many, many times (more than a thousand times).

Overall, the concept is neat, but it becomes tiresome before you get to see everything. I wish the progression were smoother.
