About the Game

Welcome, apprentice. I, Webediah, Wizard of Wares and Configuration Extraordinaire (Mr. Web for short) henceforth task you with protecting this operating system against malicious forces unknown. Ponder incoming downloads in my Orb of Scrying, banish malevolent files, dispel pop-ups, and be sure to manage your CPU usage efficiently—lest the Purple Screen of Demise befall you…

Features:

  • An enthralling game of balance and management

  • Unique, nostalgic blend of Y2K operating system aesthetics and whimsical fantasy 

  • Colorful cast of fanciful fellows

  • Personal tutelage from Webediah, wizard of unmatched accomplishment and notoriety

Your Tasks:

  • Accept or reject incoming downloads with the help of the Download Codex

  • Move downloads along quickly to keep the Download Queue clear

  • Keep your CPU usage low by avoiding viruses and popups

  • Laugh at a minimum of 1 in 10 of my Webediah’s jokes
