About the Game



The 98xx was an old computer OS from the 90s that’s recently been discovered after many years of being lost. There are still a few working files within the OS that can be explored, but there are a few unexpected glitches. One program in particular which goes by the name of "Jumping Julian" on the surface seems like your typical 2D platformer, but as the game goes on, weird things start to happen. Play at your own risk!
