Final update: changed the loading screen to have a link to the followup game (where I'm adding all the features and content I didn't have time for during the gamejam): https://tmachine.itch.io/shadowlink-2025

Work in-progress: new build now uses ChatGPT to power the NPC characters - so they'll respond to any/everything you say, and it can be a bit easier getting info out of them (you don't have to use the magic keywords any more). I'm gradually converting the existing missions so that they work with the new AI-powered NPCs. Aiming for a new release in jan 2025.

In case you're stuck getting started:

  1. speak to your Mom first, she has the initial easy challenge for you
  2. the manual for the wifi router is saved on your Documents folder, it explains how to access the router. You've got a few apps...
  3. for most of the game you'll be using the Terminal app to do hacks (basic info in the manua ) until you get to the GUI apps later
  4. you need a username and password to get into the router ... where might you have saved that info already?

Other tips:

  • all windows are resizable, position them wherever is convenient
  • if you close a window and re-open it, it will re-use the previous position BUT ALSO save that position (even after reloading the page/browser)
  • you can change volume, mute, using the settings in bottom left, or switch tracks
  • every server has a 'shellinfo' command if you can login. servers running 'bash' have more commands available, and support tab-autocomplete to automatically fill-out possible commands (just like a linux shell) - saves a lot of typing
