99 Floppies on the floor - Demo
A downloadable game
July 20XX
I've found a floppy disk hastily buried on the ground. No label, only a note saying "#01".
After three weeks of intense searching, I've found five other floppies.
That's enough for a demo I guess.
All theses floppies are encrypted. All but one.
What secrets lies within theses floppies ?
Why would someone try to get rid of them ?
And it's up to YOU to shed a light on all of this ! Solve the puzzles , found all the password and decrypt all the files in this unique mystery game !
<==============================================>
Instructions
* The game take place entirely on the files of the games, and on the executable "Flop_util.jar".
*Each numeroted file represent a floppy (#01, #02, etc..). To unlock the next floppy you need to retrieve the paswword from the previous one. DO NOT RENAME, EDIT OR MOVE THESES FILES.
*If you think you have a password, type it into Flop_util.js , it will automatically unlock the corresponding floppy.
*The game has been tested on Windows, might not work on Linux or MacOS.
*You do not need any particular computer related knowledge, as I made this game accessible for anyone.

Hi to another French dev!
The jar is working on Linux, as I would expect. Although I don’t have a working password so I can’t really test the game’s features, but the app is running correctly at least.
Just use
java -jar flop_util.jar
Your description n itch.io mentions “Flop_util.js” instead of “.jar”, by the way.
I tend to like meta-games, but I admit on this one I’m a bit lost. There seem to be a catch on #01, but I don’t feel like I’m missing anything (as in investigation games where you know you didn’t use that specific clue yet). And because locks are sequential, I cannot start working on #02 or #04 in parallel while I’m thinking more about #01. I’ll try to spend more time on it.
