One Critical Minute
It is 1991, a missile has been launched, and the President's IT man is incompetent. You are sitting in an unmarked van outside the White House, armed with a scrapbook of hastily thrown-together notes and an old PC. You might just be able to save the world. Don't be long though, in one minute the missiles will hit their target, and you will be tracked down. Good luck.
3 different endings, and one minute.

This was a joy to design and make - my first game jam submission! (Hopefully of many!)
I have a youtube channel, check it out if you want to see the game's devlog, or my main project, Lumbermill, being built in weekly videos!

how did u make the command line
I really enjoyed playing this game. When I played it for the first time I immediately felt like a hacker and that lasted while i played.
At one point I was sure that I couldn't complete the game but I continued to look and felt very good when getting the different endings.
I like the style and especially the music. I find it very cool how you play the game a lot but every time it's a bit different and you have to look at your notebook and stuff.
Like Amit Netanel said about writing in the notebook; I think that's a great idea because I had to write some usernames and stuff down anyway.
Improvement points from my perspective would be some sounds for when you first start up the game and look at the notebook and the backstory.
The difficulty is perfect and the game felt realistic in a way that I was actually there; hacking the white house.
10/10
recommend playing (all the way through)
Awesome, glad you liked it!
I am confused what to do after logging in as barbara. The only thing there, the emails, have nothing important in them.
Really enjoyed this game, beat it fairly fast as it's pretty easy to work out where you need to go what steps to take to get there :)

10/10 is game is very nice
An excellent feature would be to add your own notes between sessions. I did that with Outer Wilds and it was a blast! (of course there's nothing preventing me from doing it with my own notebook, OF COURSE - but it would still be cool).
Game: Its 1991 you are sitting in an umarked van...

January 1, 1983 is considered the official birthday of the Internet.
Pretty fun, but I couldn't figure out what to do after logging in as Steve. It would also be nice if there was a clock showing how much time was left.
The music in the background is the clock, it gets more intense as the game progresses :) and look for other users logged in, might help if you have info on one of them ;)
