You were Abira2000, the good old fashioned antivirus Bob always kept installed in its computer. Everything was fine until he replaced you with a newer version one day and tossed YOU in the trashcan! But now you'll have your revenge... Become the virus and explore the intricate web of Bob the boomer folders, get to the computer's root and share online his darkest secrets to get your revenge! Move with caution, though, because the new Abira 2023 is scanning each folder, and if he finds you you'll be ejected!

  • Keyboard controls: Keys - Move, Spacebar - Interact
  • Gamepad controls: D-pad - Move, A - Interact

Made for GGJ 2023, the theme was "root".

Best Game Design Award - Malaga Jam Weekend XV(2023)


Post-jam update: We have added some extra details. We did some assets during the gamejam but didn't have time to implement them. We have added some extra stuff like music files too.

Still, the level design is the same as the original jam version.

Amazing idea and execution!

So cool!!

This was a very original and fun game to play. It excels in every aspect: visuals, design, sound, story, etc. It's my personal favorite from the jam. I think it would be a hit if expanded with more mechanics, secrets and objectives.

Congratulations!

Thankss ❤️❤️❤️

hi, small bug.

in the controls it says to press A to open a folder, but I do and nothing happens.
unless there's a key conflict that's blocking it.

Hey! It's not a bug, it's a typo.

With keyboard, controls are arrow keys + spacebar to interact.
With gamepad, controls are dpad + A (in Xbox controller) to interact.

During the jam, people played with an XBOX controller. Hence way you saw the "press A to open folders".

We have updated the controls.txt image.

thanks.

La intro y los pequeños mini secretos me han dado la vida, diez de diez.

It is a nice game, but mind if I ask if there are any other objectives than reaching C:?

Hey! Thanks for your comment. That's the only objective of the game for now. The theme of the jam was "Root", hence why the goal is to reach the _root_ directory

YAY!! Bear with my ignorance, please. I really liked the context at the beginning, btw.
