Our take on No Players Online
Its defining structure is an investigation conducted inside a fictional desktop, where downloading games and combining them becomes part of uncovering the mystery.
What is No Players Online?
Explore an abandoned first-person shooter within a simulated desktop environment.
Search files left by the previous owner, visit an obscure game forum, download other games, and play Minesweeper. The Soul Transfer application combines complete games, with possible corruption as a consequence. An old multiplayer capture-the-flag prototype provides the central mystery. Assemble clues about the developer and the conspiracy surrounding him.
