About the Game

This a goofy game. An idea I couldn't get out of my head. It's also a love letter to when the internet was awesome. Or, awesomely awful. It's also a commiserating head nod to everyone else out there who was, or maybe still is, their family's computer tech support. Just because we knew how to make an Angelfire website, didn't mean we knew how to fix a printer...

And after all these years. I still don't know really how to fix a printer.



Plot:

Your parents need to print travel documents for their couples retreat, and then race to the airport! But there's one problem... their printer driver is missing! As their very, very patient child, it is your duty to navigate an OS, internet, and series of malicious viruses from the early 2000s, and get that printer printing!
