You bought a PC that belonged to a suicidal developer, do you dare to run "Game.exe"?

Needs more 'Haunted PC' and less 'Slender Man.' Don't die or you need to restart your whole computer, IRL. Could see this being fun if it took longer than 10 min to complete and had more haunted PC apps to navigate through. Price doesn't really match a flash game; GAME.swf.

I enjoyed the game I'm not 100% sure if it's worth 5-6 dollars though it's extremely short, and there doesn't seem to be a ton of extra things in it tbh. I really liked the little dialogue we got with our boy oliver even if he had a potty mouth and I enjoyed the mini game. Finally a Slender man type game where the enemy doesn't go full insta kill mode when you're close to collecting all the items.
As some other reviews have pointed out, this is essentially a slender clone with a somewhat unique framing device to draw you in.
I love games like hypnospace outlaw and simulacra, arg's and creepypasta-esque horror in general, so a game about a found computer with a haunted game on it is very attractive to me.
However the haunted operating system concept factors into it very little, and basically the game consists of the following and can be completed in about 10 minutes (spoilers, if you can call it that):
find Game.exe in files, it's corrupt look at command list, open prompt use 'fix Game.exe' open Game.exe find 10 candles and avoid monster
That's it, that's the whole game and while there are a few narrative clues to be found in some of the documents, it's just not that fleshed out or interesting of a story aside from the game itself being very shallow. No Players Online is very similar in concept but executes it better and for free.
If you could get it for free it's worth the 15 minutes or so, but I don't think it's worth money, and on that grounds I can't recommend it. But I'd love to see a more fleshed out version of this concept.
