✦ AI summary

Players praise New Folder's striking art style, atmospheric design, and creative use of interactive desktop mechanics that create an engaging exploratory experience, though opinions split on whether the 20-30 minute runtime feels appropriately paced or disappointingly brief for the asking price. Common criticisms include the lack of a save system, uneven puzzle difficulty with some feeling too easy while others require external guides, and concerns that the game's interesting concepts don't have enough time to develop beyond surface level before ending.

Super short "Haunted Desktop" game. It's the usual, sit in front of a old school operating system, and try and piece together what happened to the owner of the computer while it behaves like it's possessed (think Simulacra but on a desktop computer and not a phone). There really isn't that much here, and I don't think this does things that much differently than others in the genre, at least after it start to repeat the same puzzle several times. It was never especially tricky, you'll probably beat it in 30 - 40 minutes, slightly more if you take your time. But it's also super cheep. It does feel a bit more like proof of concept than a full fledged game, so my hope is that the devs can do something more substatial in the future, since there is quite a bit lore in the game that they can build upon. The achievements unlock when you beat the game, but there are really only two, and if you missed one of them you can breeze through the game in like a few minutes when you know what to do.

[h2]Good atmosphere, but little more than proof of concept[/h2] [b]Puzzle difficulty:[/b] ★☆☆☆☆ [u]Playtime:[/u] sub-1 hour They created a very cool, creepy atmosphere here, but it doesn't give itself enough time to flesh out the story and ramp up the puzzles, which are too simple, too easy and too few. There is only 1 somewhat decent puzzle here, so if you play, play this for the atmosphere and the classic OS vibe (which is admittedly good), not for the puzzles. Well, the dev is open about this being a 30 min game, so I guess it is okay if you are okay with a short experience. Just don't expect too much.

This game is really interesting and even if it's a bit short, definitely worth it!

Very short, but very well made, you can sense the developer's hard work in it, absolutely worth getting..
