Recommended Feb 12, 2026
The main part of the game has you exploring a fictional titular website with an in-game browser, where each page gives you hints on how to access the next page until the ultimate password on that website. So that part of the game is essentially a sequential series of puzzles, which are fairly diverse, with some good original ones. Occasionally the puzzles will have you cross referencing with some other fictional websites, but rarely will you have to make multiple web-page hops to make an inference. There are also some puzzles, mostly at the beginning, related to managing your fictional PC before you can access the main katydids website. All in all it was fun and the puzzles are very fair.

It was fun but short. Good puzzles. My brain is feeling activated. I just wish there was more.

Love everything about this, my only complaint is its too short but i got the game on sale so i can't complain much about that. A good few hours of gameplay here on a retro desktop which is nice.

None of the puzzles really hold your hand. I wanna say there's only one that's kind of obtuse (or should I say, nothing is kind of obtuse) but apart from that one, everything else was phenomenal
Recommended Aug 1, 2025
The puzzles aren't too bad, though you might want to have your real-life internet up for some of them. There are some flashing text jumpscares/jump scares, but they're not to loud-- just green text with static noises. You can get all the achievements very easily.
