128k - a detective game
Search an old 128k Macintosh to find the hidden password,
using real world Google and emails.
IMPORTANT:
Make sure that your email account
allows mail from “canned responses”.
If you are uncertain, you can use a
trash email account. I recommend

This game is not playable if the bot isn’t

Yo, what is the name of this game genre? Where you play within a virtual computer? It's super interesiting.
i just call it a computer simulation game. This was the first one I made, check out my later games if you’re interested in the genre!
That's awesome! Thanks. Do you have an instagram or discord ID, I would love to interview you, I'm a youtuber. I have 2 channels both in spanish and english, with 1 million subs across. I would love to know more about you, your work and this genre of games.
Sounds like fun! Write to me on Instagram, I'm called Deklaration there as well.
you seem to be able to crash the web game by fucking around in the calculator ("unable to convert string to real")
haha, yeah. the calculator is a mess! this game is five years old and i think the bugs are there to stay.
hey, i can't figure anything out, do you have any hints on how to find the password possibly?
Hey! Someone actually made a walkthrough for the game a while back. See if it can be of any help.

damn, the reddit page has been shut down for "spam"
does that render the game unplayable, technically? unfortunate
also, dev, I'm not sure what caused it but my "password" file had a different binary code than the one in the walkthrough you posted, and I had to get the correct binary from the walkthrough :/
mine was 00110100 00110110 00110000 00110001 00110101 00101010 00110010
Well, look at that. I guess that's it. If the Reddit page has been shut down, I don't think the game is able to work. I can see if I've got the original files somewhere, but I built it in a now obsolete engine. Thanks for letting me know.
Weird thing with the binary code as well, got the same error. Guess the game is breaking down, piece by piece. What do you think, should I remake the whole thing and find some other way to do the Reddit stuff?
the reddit idea was fun, the first post that showed up was from r/rbi, from someone who came across the sub completely by accident. from that post I saw that there was a bot in your sub posting the same thing every so often? you could try remaking the sub with a single pinned post, shouldn't get taken down then. though.. reddit is kinda dying. could be an alternative out there I'm not aware of. either way, good luck! loved the game idea personally
Great idea about the single pinned post! I've updated the game and did just that. Thanks for the help on getting this game running again!
Go to the trash bin and try to open the file "Password". It should give you some clues.
