A downloadable 'operating system' for Windows and macOS

You’ve discovered a discarded operating system—Windows 2, a prototype that was never meant to see the light of day.
At first, it looks like a forgotten relic of computer history. A strange desktop. Old menus. Corrupted icons.

But then the system begins to speak.

The shell, your only guide, pleads with you: something is broken, something is wrong, and you’re the only one left to fix it.
Scan the drives. Explore the network. Read the corrupted files. But be careful… not everything wants to be repaired.

This isn’t a system you can control. It’s one that watches you back.

🖥️ Features

  • A fully explorable fake operating system interface, built to look like a forgotten Windows prototype.

  • Corrupted programs like Notepad, Hard Disk, Network, and more—each holding clues, threats, and traps.

  • An AI guide called “shell”, who isn’t sure if it wants to save you or consume you.

⚠️ Warning

This game uses sudden system errors to immerse you.
It is not malware, but it may feel like your computer is being taken over. That’s the point.

After starting the game you need to wait 10 seconds after the loading screen ends, otherwise errors may be content.

🎧 Recommended Setup

  • Play alone, in the dark.

  • Headphones on.

  • Pretend you’re really fixing an ancient machine.

🕹️ Controls

  • Mouse & Keyboard only.

  • Point. Click. Dig deeper.
