A puzzle adventure set in a digital world where hacking digital entities isn’t just about solving puzzles, but also turning heartbreaking life events into moments of joy, even if only for a moment.
Exist.EXE
SteamExist.EXE is a pixel-art puzzle adventure where you play as Marcus, a game developer grieving his mother’s death. He’s pulled into a digital world where his programming skills can be used to hack objects and shape them. Here, hacking isn’t just about solving puzzles; it’s about turning heartbreaking life events into moments of joy, even if only for a moment.
As Marcus explores this digital world, his journey becomes one of self-discovery. An AI resembling his late mother wants him to stay in this perfect digital world to escape sadness. But his best friend reminds him to stay in reality instead of getting lost in a fake perfect world.
