About

You can't quit the game, but you can't play it either. You're stuck forever in endless menus full of glitches, unless you manage to break the code open. It's a very unusual action-puzzle game that will make you think outside the box. Each screen is a new surprise, although not always a pleasant one. An ominous presence, taking the shape of an insufferable smiley face, will constantly taunt you and prevent you from progressing. You'll need to find a way to make it glitch!

Disclaimer

This game is defective. You can still try to play, but you won't go much further than the main menu unfortunately. Well, maybe someone smart will be able to make it work, for instance by making the game glitch or something. But I doubt it. We've already tried everything.

Records of various problems we encountered

When we start the game, we're just faced with endless menus that make no sense.

error_file_1

I mean just look at this mess. Someone managed to get to the world map and it's clearly unplayable. It seems there's a trick to get past that, but no idea what.

error_file_2

We've spent a lot of time designing this character creation tool, but to no avail. It doesn't work either now. The game worked perfectly well some time ago. We don't know what happened. It's as if something messed it up... from inside. I know it sounds insane but there's no other explanation.

error_file_327

We even hired a software engineer to break into the code and see what happens, but it's always the same. There's that weird smiley face taunting us and preventing us from going further. It was embarrassing not being able to answer the engineer's questions. I've asked the team and it's clear none of them programmed this thing. Where the hell did this smiley face come from?
