Hey Explorers!

We’re so happy to announce that the Desktop Explorer demo is back on Steam and just in time for spooky season! 🎃

Starting Friday, October 10th, you’ll be able to play the opening chapter of the game. Try to solve the first few puzzles inside a fully functional desktop environment and uncover the beginnings of the story. Every file, folder, and discovery will bring you deeper into the mystery that lies within this computer.

Since our last playtest, we’ve made tons of improvements based on your feedback. Discover some new eerie details lurking in the background. 👀

If you missed it the first time, now’s your chance to dive in and explore the mysterious digital world we’ve been crafting.

💾 Add the demo to your library and start exploring TODAY!

If you do please make sure to give it a review on Steam. It helps a ton!

Thank you for all your support. It really means the world to our small team.

Join our discord server and tell us what you think of this new demo!

…

The next subject is critical. We got this strange photo from an unknown email. How this is related to our demo is still an enigma.
