and getting asked a question then reading through other texts to unlock a file to answer that text to play otherworld to perform the ritual that was all just perfect
This game not only showed us what happens when loosing the ones you love and taking your life and living with it forever. It also really developed our brains to solving clues and riddles and makes us smarter. 10/10 Highly Recommend
This was incredible! I loved investigating the old computer. The story is really sad, but I loved it. I'm still curious about Orion though.. (SPOILERS!!) Judging from the webcam footage we saw, and the fact that Orion could type on the Otherworld chat the same alonegurl15 did, that means he did the ritual and he was still in the game right? Then how could he talk to us, but alonegurl15 couldn't talk to lawson or anyone else?? why did she act like she was alone if he was there? Very creepy to think about. I'd love to see another installation of this concept or world!! <33
I doubt that, at least on some level, since from the webcam, footage, we can see Orion was a real person at some point. The discheveled state of the room + the flies indicate there is probably Orian's deceased body laying around there somewhere.. I assume that after basically uploading his consciousness into the game, his real body was left to rot. Wether the person we talked to though was the /real/ Orion.. Who knows. (;
Long reply but... Orion kind of has an issue as a character... or not?
First, you can only guess Liz met Orion on some online chat group. The notepad diary makes it sound like Liz only knew Orion for 2 months, where Orion introduces her to OtherWorld and also Scott, before Liz did the ritual with Orion on Halloween.
When you first talk to Orion though, he talks to you like he's still alive and presumably in his 30s, so he says in your new chat that "you used to be friends as kids" when you say you can't remember who he is.
That's when he tests your knowledge of the ritual you did and then gives you a new invite to OtherWorld. Once you're in though, he types like he really thought you were Liz.
Also I think the webcam footage would make more sense if it's a new owner (like you, RIP) who recently died from cursed PC stuff, and Orion's soul simply still has PC access unlike Liz who only has OtherWorld access. This would make sense since Orion never had that cursed text font like Liz did and can use the chat app like normal. The reason I don't think the body can be the real Orion is they did the ritual 20ish+ years ago, so his body would've been cleaned/just bones and building abandoned/cleaned/resold/destroyed by then). This could just be dev oversight in the story though. Or maybe the story takes place only a few years after the ritual but I missed a clue somewhere.
But again, Orion types in the chat app like he's a regular human and not someone who's also ritualistically digitalized himself. He's obviously in OtherWorld and can talk to Liz, yet he gives another code to Liz on the chat app acting like it is her and he believes her and hasn't talked to hear in 30 years?
I'm just gonna say Orion's lost his memories like a schizophrenic (due to soul degradation and the ritual) so he forgets Liz is in the game and fools himself to believe he's a real 30 year old that can use his PC still (since he still is). Seeing Liz pop up as online on the chat app must have made him immediately log out of Otherworld and even forget he probably just saw the real Liz there.
Had my eye on this for a while and I'm so glad I played it. It was a really well crafted story and the puzzles were so smart! I loved the first puzzle where the desktop was the solution, and using the songs over that; It was just a really well thought out and such a fun and creative way of doing puzzles! It was also interesting to see the story unfold and see what happened to everyone associated with Liz and herself too. It was super fun, and you did a great job making the game! Good luck with future projects!
The puzzles are so creative and the story is amazing. The style of the game is so nostalgic and super cool looking. Im surprised that its free considering how good the game is. I love it sm!! I wish for there to be more games from you in the future!!
I'm in love with this game. The style of the game, the backstory and the puzzles are all so amazing. I played this game a few days ago with my friend (she also loves this game) and we had so much fun solving the puzzles together! I made an account just to review this game LOL. I definitely recommend this game! (I'm shocked it's free, I would pay 5-10$ for it!)
THIS WAS SO COOL!! PLEASE DO ANOTHER ONE, i enjoyed this so much. It reminds me when i was little playing a game called digital world, had the EXACT same thing on here. Please do another on!
I really liked your game. The atmosphere of this game touched pieces of my soul. In general, I play flash games quite rarely, but one wonderful day, a friend came to visit me. We decided to tickle our nerves, so we looked at an online site for horror games. There I found this wonderful game. I like that this game doesn’t frighten you too much, but rather draws you into the special atmosphere. Even I, being thousands of kilometers away from usa (i like this country lol :D), really appreciate developers from there. I use a translator because eng is not my native language. Perhaps my comment maybe sounds too formal, I don’t know eng slangs well. ^^
This is the best itch.io game I have ever played :0 The atmosphere, the nostalgic elements and how polished everything is astounds me. The puzzles are hard but not frustratingingly hard to the point where you want to quit, and the story is so interesting and meaningful, I can't find the words for it!!!!!
Please make more games! You have such a talent for this, and I would love to play another web game of yours.
For such a short game it has so much depth and is done exceedingly well. I love it so much! The puzzles were fun but not too challenging, and the horror element was done well. Great game!

you're welcome
this was really sweet, reminds me that death is scary and forever is scarier<3
What was that creepy song that was playing when selecting the images for candle part? I cant find it anywhere.
damn the it was pretty intense at the end
wait this is so good ❤️
what is this, I saw something while going through orion's messages and clicked on it, It gave me a download (in the game)
dev said that he also have no idea what is it, i think maybe it's somehow connected to orion and how he got in the otherworld
the name of that picture was "redherring" and irl red herring is a thing that takes people attention away from central point
Fun, no jump scares, just spooky, nice 90s PC programs, laughed at zanga and loseamp
the end hits hard though the game was supposed to be a horror genre
it was perfect
i want more
the puzzles just make me feel so smart
when I do get them right
and getting asked a question then reading through other texts to unlock a file to answer that text to play otherworld to perform the ritual that was all just perfect
exceppttttt
I WANT HAPPY ENDING
that was great ngl

Is Orion like... the devil or baphomet or something? I was wondering this throughout!

this was so good..
I'm stuck on the part that says "a simulation or a fever dream or both"
its after the statues
see what the combinations do to the water in the fountain the fountain and look at the keyboard
what do you mean
the answer in the fountain is forever its hard
Good game but I'm stuck on the statue part
look at the orders in their hands
Hints are in the objects they're holding, 2 of them are obvious the other 2 are a little funny but you can figure it out.
THIS IS SO COOL!!!! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE KIND OF RETRO(???) GAMES STYLE !!!!!
THIS WAS SO COOL!! PLEASE DO ANOTHER ONE, i enjoyed this so much. It reminds me when i was little playing a game called digital world, had the EXACT same thing on here. Please do another on!

one of my favorite short games I've ever played. 10/10. hit different remembering my own earlier too young internet experiences.
Is red herring just what it's called? Or can you do something interesting with it?
You can click something in there
