A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Raven is just a regular, young woman. She goes to work, she goes to sleep, she checks her e-mails… In fact, there's nothing special about her. She's just ordinary.

If she's so uninteresting then why was she targeted by an entity calling itself 'File'?

Part desktop simulator, part platformer, this is a game designed in 2.5 months for #PixelHorrorJam by myself & James_T_Ripper

Inspired by the popular titles Welcome To The Game & Pony Island, File requires the mouse to be controlled in order to maneuver Raven's computer in search of a set of programs, each more horrifying as you progress

Controls

  • Once a program is executed, the D/Right-Arrow Keys can be used to move the player right
  • Alternatively, the A/Left-Arrow Keys can be used to move the player left
  • Like most platformers, the Spacebar is used for jumping in levels which require it

Veoma zanimljiva igrica, sa odličnom pričom koja ima smisla, na kraju stvarno neočekivano, i stvarno si/ste odlično napravili igricu!

This was honestly a great game! I loved the art style and also the whole creepiness of the game. The story was pretty great too! How the sister's demise was eluded to from the start; with the mails and everything. It was well done! 

Only thing i can suggest is to add some background noises to creep out the player. And also have things being done in the face camera; like when File says that he snuck in through the curtains, maybe add a figure moving in the background or a curtain moving and same thing when he mentions the bookcase.

Also thought that the panel on the wall was completely random? There was nothing that eluded or made the player go to find it unless they were randomly clicking. (Or I might have missed something, sorry if I did.)

Other than that, the hidden messages in Morse and Binary were really good and added a layer of immersion, which was really cool! Nice job on that! Overall it was super fun to play and the platforming was simple yet challenging!

How do I get a third ending with a video camera of the main character?

There is currently only 1 ending to this game, which does not feature that at this time

Thanks

Hi there, thank you for reviewing our game on your channel! Unfortunately we're not planning to make a sequel to File.exe at this stage as we'd first like to pursue more diverse projects to upskill our game development capabilities.

Hey, I was thinking about playing this game for my YouTube channel, but I'd like to know if there are any jump scares in it and how bad they are. I'm fine with minor jump scares that aren't loud, but otherwise I freak out. Looks great though!

(+1)

This is way better than I thought it would be. Such an awesome and unnerving game.

Thank you! :)

Adorei o jogo! Bem simples e em algumas partes rola uns sustos e até arrepios! Fiz uma gameplay no meu canal, convido voce a assistir! 

We really appreciate you playing our game on your channel. Keep up the great work! :)

is my computer really "secure"

I dunno, you tell me! ;)

First of all thank you for sharing your work with us Taronia Gamenstein!
I had much fun playing your game and also i did a video which i've already upload on my channel. Fun fact: I really liked the attemp of putting different languages in there at the part where you wanted to mention that the in game character had failed (Found my mother tongue also "απέτυχε" which is written in Greek xD). Hope to hear more from you in the future!

I uploaded a playthrough of this game. And I have to say, this one did a really good job of creeping me out; especially listening to that music! *shudder* I swear, I will never talk to a sentient killer program again!...Ya know, IF I survive this one! Thank you for making this game. I can't wait to see more! :)

Thank you very much for making this! :)

Hey, guys! Pretty fun game for what it was! I, personally, didn't find it tooooo scary. I became more interested in what was happening than "oh, i should be scared". I did like the game, but it's not as scary as I thought it would be.

Anyways! Here's my video on it! :D


Thank you very much for making this! :)

No, thank you for making the game!

I'm that bad at Platformer games that I needed to split my Let's play in two. Here is the second and final part to my File adventure. Thanks for the great game team :)

The soundtrack is super catchy! I hope you like my lame freestyle lmao. I liked how it's a desktop interface game, really quite unique!


Thank you very much for making this! :)

i'm bad reviewer, honestly i liked your game, good gameplay and story but very short few minutes need to completed if was little longer, good job

Thank you for your feedback!

There's only so much that can be done within a 2 and a half month period, and although an extension for the game itself was brought up as an idea. It didn't end up being feasible in the end as it may have dragged the story on for too long

(+1)

Pretty cool. I liked the story, was pretty creepy.


Thank you very much for making this! :)

Well done team! I had a lot of fun with this game. So much, that I had to break it into two parts. It has nothing to do with my platformer skills... I flew though all the levels... Didnt die once... cough... :P Here's part one. Stay tuned for part two. I'll try to be less crap in part two. Maybe.



Thank you very much for makng this! :)

This was actually extremely fun! I really enjoyed the use of both binary and Morse!! I can't wait to see more of your work!

Hey I made this account just to comment. The game is zoomed in and I can't zoom out or change the resolution. I can't find any sort of options menu. If I go into properties I can turn it to playing 640x480, which lets me see the entire screen, but then the text is squished and I can't read anything. Can you please add a setting to at least let people play this in windowed mode?

There's only so much that can be done in this engine regarding an in-game set of options for resolution settings, full screen toggle etc.

However as there's others like yourself struggling with this same issue, I'll throw together a windowed build for all Operating Systems soon

Thank you so much! As long as it's windowed I think it'll play right. Please let me know as soon as you can do this so I can play <3 It looks really cool!!

No worries, the windowed versions should be listed in the Downloads section alongside the others :)

How do you play the game on Mac? I tried using "the archiver" and another zip file to extract it and nothings working. is there a unique way to extract the game onto your mac computer?

By using the alternate build which features a .app file which should execute on Mac rather than the .pck file
