The Order Of The Silent Fire
by PirateGames
Newly released WikiLeaks documents have revealed an imminent threat from a domestic terrorist unit working from inside the CIA.
The document states that a nuclear attack on U.S soil is on the cards any day now.
You are Andy Anyman, John Doe, your name isnt important, the man without a face, a part time cleaner in an unassuming government building.
Doing your rounds you find an unguarded terminal, you need to scour it for data, find the launch codes, decrypt them and prevent the attack.
Without login details you're only hope is an easy to access guest account to get started.

UI Graphics Tutorial/Learning CurveWell, the idea is interesting, but the gameplay is very difficult in that I don't know what to do. Immediately as you get to the login screen, I got stuck. I had to look around everywhere until I realized that I could get the login info from the trailer. But even entering doesn't get you far as apparently, based on the trailer, you have to find a prompt console and I could not find it for the life of me. The only clue doesn't seem to help: I have no idea what F10 + Static is. I have a feeling this is one of those games where you have to look up info from outside of it, like some kind of alternative reality game. Sounds good in practice, but the execution leaves a lot to be desired. Perhaps if there is a community then this game would be much more playable, but as a solo game, impossible. My suggestions is to provide some kind of storyline to get solo players going. Instead of this Andy Anyman (a.k.a. the player), have an actual character going through the game and maybe use his monologues as some kind of tutorial of sorts.

Thanks for the great feedback, that is very useful, originally it was intended to be that you are in at the deep end and have to figure it out yourself, I think I will add a storyline in the form you suggest and have an optional hardcore mode that plays as originally intended. I did write a walkthrough that is actually written from the characters point of view so I could probably adapt that for purpose,As to the F10 + STATIC, in the music player that appears to have 4 tracks and two empty tracks, one of the empty ones actually contains a sound file that you can play like the others, but is actually just some static audio noise, if you press F10 while that plays, you get access to the console, most of the game is based around the console, so at the very least I need a more obvious way to guide player to opening console for first time, most of the other game command can be learned through the console itself.
Cheers mate, youve given me some food for thought!!

No problem. Like I said, I like this idea of tampering with a computer, but there needs to be an entry point for newbs like me. You need a hook and in this type of game, the only hook I can think of is a storyline that gets you hooked into it to keep the player digging deeper into whatever dark secret they have uncovered. That's why I suggested to have an actual character invested in this that guides the player into what to do, at least in the beginning stages.

I’ll be working on that today. I’m thinking perhaps to have it so that if the player right clicks on something then a text box could pop up explains the characters thoughts about that particular thing. Anyway I’ll work it out, cheers for the feedback!Roast Em
