== Plot == | |||
The game starts off with the player's computer getting hijacked by [[DevX]]. The player is then informed that he was "involuntarily selected" to be an alpha tester for ShiftOS. The in-game computer's hard disk is then formatted with the fictional file system [[ShiftFS]] and ShiftOS is installed. After installation, DevX contacts the player with some basic information on how to use ShiftOS' [[Terminal|command line]]. | |||
== Gameplay == | |||
After the opening sequence, the player gains the ability to use the in-game operating system's command line to open a basic set of programs, which show basic black and white graphics (aside from the [[Video Player]] and [[Web Browser]]). ShiftOS' virtual currency, [[Code Points]], can be used in the [[Shiftorium]] to upgrade the operating system with new features (such as colors and the [[App Launcher]]) and additional software (such as [[TextPad]] and [[ArtPad]]). Code Points can be earned by playing minigames such as [[Pong]], [[Knowledge Input]] or by customizing the operating system using the [[Shifter]]. | |||
