Not recommended May 26, 2026
Thought this might not be like the other game which was a pure rage inducer and would be an actual fun game, but I disagree, a cool concept but not entirely executed in the best way possible. Like even having the ability to do something else with the money other than saving for some weird spoiler thing. Maybe adding a custom sandbox and looking for the malware itself by unusual stuff happening in the sandbox environment would've been much more fun instead of a basic text box saying you have malware. But then again maybe its just me and I expected more of PC builder simulator but software wise game.

A fun little game, gave me some sensible chuckles during the solutions and emails and stuff. Worth a gander for sure if you want to relive your 1990s malware frustrations KEK

This is somehow one of the best games I've ever played. It's difficult for me to say why. It's fun, kind of funny, kind of mean (without going too far with it in my opinion).... But it keeps things simple. Even the so-so translation doesn't really put a damper on things (and may actually add to it). The only thing is the final final secret puzzle (it's a code) - just look it up don't try to solve it, yourself.
