You can write real programs on the computer inside my game. Every BradScript program declares one world mode at boot: WORLD_2D for sprites and tile maps, WORLD_25D for mazes, doors and minimaps, or WORLD_3D for a native 3D renderer with terrain and models.

Before you can hear Pacifica's pirate radio, you have to install the sound card. In my game you get the LAPC-1 and its driver working, tone-patch into the relay, and your onyx-black Bradsonic becomes one more link in the daisy chain keeping the underground on air.

Murder Meet Cute is a really intriguing FakeOS interactive narrative where you're a computer fixer in the 90s unfortunately finding yourself trying to solve a murder. Aesthetically it's FANTASTIC and I'm so intrigued by the narrative and the hints 👀!

Desktop Explorer, on the other hand, is a more involved FakeOS game with some of the most intricate, outside-of-the-box puzzles I've ever seen, and an unexpected heartfelt story that pays off. Do love when a game can be multiple things.
