Dialup Debug
Your old PC can't get online. DIALUP.EXE keeps failing, and the keyboard is broken. Half the keys are scrambled, some are cracked, and some are missing.
Luckily, a ladybug lives in there.
Walk across the keyboard and press keys to find out what they really type. HASHMAP.EXE fills in as you go. Spell out the answers, dig through the folders, find CONNECT.EXE, and get on THE NET.
Every step costs a move. Cracked keys cost more to press. Missing keys are holes you have to walk around. Run out of moves and it's game over.
Stuck? HELP.EXE on the desktop shows the controls.

Install instructions
1. Download RetroBug-windows.zip and unzip it anywhere. 2. Double-click RetroBug.exe to play. There's nothing to install. Windows may show a "Windows protected your PC" warning because the game isn't code-signed. Click "More info", then "Run anyway". Requirements: Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and a graphics card that supports Vulkan or DirectX 12. Most cards from the last 8-10 years do. If the game won't open, update your graphics drivers. To quit, use QUIT on the start menu or press Alt+F4.
