PROMETHEUS Project
"Dr. Vance didn't just quit. He was deleted."
PROMETHEUS Project is a short, narrative-driven puzzle horror game set entirely within a Windows 95 operating system.
You are a data recovery specialist hired to investigate the abandoned terminal of Dr. Vance, a lead researcher on the classified "Prometheus Project." He vanished two weeks ago. The company claims he resigned. The data says otherwise.
**[NEW UPDATE]** The conspiracy goes deeper than just one computer.
Snoop through emails, crack password-protected folders, and recover encrypted files to uncover the biological horror that Vance released in the server room. But be careful—you aren't the only one logged in.
🕵️ Features
- Immersive Retro OS: A fully functional 1998 desktop environment. Drag windows, browse files, and feel the nostalgia of CRT flicker and hard drive hums.
- Environmental Puzzles: No hand-holding. You must deduce passwords by reading sticky notes, checking emails, and finding personal clues hidden in photos.
- Digital Horror: There are no monsters chasing you in 3D. The horror comes from what you read, the grainy images you uncover, and the realization that the Admin is watching your every keystroke.
- Multiple Endings: Will you be silenced by the system, or can you broadcast the truth to the world before the connection is severed?
- Expanded Investigation: Dig deeper than ever before. Use the new Calendar App to spot anomalies in employee schedules and the NetConnect tool to hack into remote workstations.
⚠️ Warning
This game contains flashing lights, glitch effects, and themes of psychological dread.

i fear i am stupid but i can't figure out what to do first, like right after to computer boots. i've read everything but i guess i'm not picking up on some clues or something. but i really want to play, any hints you can give me to point me in the right direction maybe?
Thanks for your comment.
Your first hint will be in Dave's email.
My hint : Look out of the box :)
is "goodbye" the end? also nice little short game, after I was done being stupid it was a great experience.
For now "goodbye" is the end, but I'm working on new content and story line to make the game a little more longer.
Thank you for your feedback!
Great game!
Waiting for updates and new contents in the future
SOON !!
