Viral Network
The player will act as a computer virus, navigating a network of 2000s-style computers belonging to 5 different victims, which will be unlocked gradually. On each unlocked computer, the player can investigate emails and files to uncover secrets and gather clues. These clues and knowledge can then be used to unlock new computers by composing enticing emails that will convince each character to download the virus.

there is a bug where the game crashes when trying to open the "readme" program in the starting PC. To avoid having to open it to read the game's "how to play", here is the text contained in it:
"Hey, you. You're finally awake. As a state-of-the-art, AI-powered, sentient computer virus, you are bound to great feats!
But before you go ahead spreading yourself through computers all around the world, let me explain how you can achieve that:
- Once you are in a computer, you have to check for connections to other machines in the same network.
- To spread to other machines, the user has to download the virus in their computer.
- Send e-mails containing the virus file to the people you want to infect. But you have to be convincing! Victims will not fall for it if you don't use the right words and / or attachments, or even if you don't send it from the right e-mail address (Check the "help" button in the email client for more information).
- Search through the computer's programs to discover a person's interests and how to lure them into downloading the virus. Collect words and attachments from various e-mails to help you build the perfect bait.
- And always (always) attach a "click me" sticker in your e-mail. This is what contains the virus.
Good luck in your journey to world domination ;)"
Good hacking game! Do check mine out.
