Flying Squirrel OS

**Flying Squirrel OS** is a fake operating system made to look like the User's desktop created by Game to stop them from launching the game program in Mise En Abyme. Despite this, it seems to have various items from Game's own desktop.

## Story

### Mise En Abyme

When the user is (supposedly) sent out of loading screen for Game's program, they are redirected to the "their desktop", which uses Flying Squirrel OS. Game then changes his voice, claiming to be "your consciousness". He tells you to restart your computer, and to "not open the PROHIBITED folder for any reason". He will continue to give various other reasons for the player to restart the machine until the player unlocks the folder.

### Epilog

If the User chooses to delete Game's code, Game and GiGi hide in the hidden OS desktop after they assume the User has left. The Russian Voice calls (under the name REDBOY) and informs him the User is still there.

## Contents

### sKite

sKite is a video chat application. The window has three ads playing on loop. The last one in particular advertises ZinWip, which can make you thinner. After Game (called NOTME) calls you for looking in his +18 folder, you can view his sKite profile. Among other details, the player can find Game's favorite number, needed for Game's administrator password.

### ZinWip

ZinWip does nothing when clicked on, but if an item is dragged onto it, it will shrink them as advertised in sKite's ads. Shrinking the trophy, nut and bottle opener does nothing, but shrinking the key will allow it to be small enough for the PROHIBITED folder's lock. If an item is at minimum size and gets shrunk again, it will instead be brought back to normal size.

### Music

The Music folder has 4 sound files that will play on the Squirrel Media Player indefinitely until paused or a new one is chosen.

* Track 01 - The Nutcracker, Tchaikovsky: This track features a literal nutcracker on the media player. It is a rendition of the Nutcracker. The nutcracker itself can be used to open the hazelnut for the squirrel on the desktop, who will release the key.
* Track 02 - Shake my head, Archive of Hell: This track features a flaming skull on the media player. This is a loud metal sound that shakes the entire screen when player. Eventually, an error will occur and cause the track to stop, going back to the default track 04. This shaking can be used to open the Private folder's hidden contents.
* Track 03 - Relaxation, Nature sounds: This track features rain hitting the ground. The track is simply just relaxing rain ambiance. The water from the rain can be used to fill the trophy for the tree.
* Track 04 - Elevator love, 13th floor quintet: This track features a boombox playing music on the media player. It is the default song played, but serves no purpose in gameplay.

### Pictures

The Pictures folder has 3 image files the User can examine when clicking on them. Each can be rotated and some can be interacted with.

* Image 01 - Future hazelnut tree: This image is of a grassy field with symbols laying out an equation. "Water droplet + Sunshine =", and a small tree sapling. This image, at first, takes place at nighttime. If the User can change the system clock to 2pm, it will change the image to daytime. And while it's daytime, the User can take the trophy filled with water and dump it on the tree. It will grow in a hazelnut tree, and knocking on it's bark will drop a hazelnut.
* Image 02 - Programming tools: Despite the name, the picture is of a closed drawer. If the User clicks on the handle, it can be opened. The image can be rotated upside down and it's contents (the bottle opener) will fall out.
* Image 03 - ID card: A picture with 1s and 0s patterned all over. It cannot be interacted with at all. A number near the bottom left (row 13, column 4) will always be different (2-9). This number is the "odd one out" used for Game's administrator password.

### Private

The Private folder contains things not meant to be seen by anyone but the owner. Clicking it will appear to show it as "EMPTY", though this is clearly a fake picture covering up the actual content, advising the User "DO NOT SHAKE". If the User plays Track 02 from the music (which shakes the screen), the note will fall down and access to the folder is now allowed.

The private folder contains two things:

* Truth01 - A text document promising to reveal "the truth about Roswell", but is instead a message from the FBI claiming that "due to a technical error" the information has been lost (although they add that the truth is "a weather balloon").
* Super private - A second folder containing two more items.

#### Super Private

* Truth02 - A text document promising to reveal "the truth about Kennedy's Death", but is instead the same message from the FBI from Truth01 (although they add that the shooter was also "a weather balloon").
* Ultra private - Another folder containing two more items.

#### Ultra Private

* Truth03 - A text document promising to reveal "the truth about Apollo 11", but again the information is replaced with a message from the FBI. This time, they simply say "WEATHER BALLOON" and nothing else.
* Giga private - Yet another folder, this time only containing one item.

#### Giga Private

* 18+ - A folder containing three images.

#### 18+

The 18+ folder contains three images of motherboards wearing human lingerie, all titled as "Miss (whatever country)".

* US\_MISS - An image of "Miss New York" wearing a bra with stars in the background.
* FR\_MISS - An image of "Miss Paris" wearing underwear with stocking holders with the Eiffel Tower in the background.
* JP\_MISS - An image of "Miss Tokyo" with underwear (noticeably having one bit censored) with hears in the background. Near the top right of her is a random three digit code. This number is "Miss Tokyo's private number" used for Game's administrator password.

After this folder is opened (and all the others are closed), Game will call you on sKite, stating he will call the authorities regarding the classification of the (non)game and that these images are not his but "for a friend".

Opening the 18+ folder gives you the **Have you no shame?** achievement, while opening all the "Truth" documents gives you the **Conspiracy theorist** achievement.

### Trash

The Trash is where deleted files go. Clicking on it simply jiggles the lid of the icon. Using the bottle opener from Image 02 will crack it open, allowing access. It contains three items: two documents and an application

* WORST PINBALL EVER - A pinball game. The User can grab a ball from the decorations and achieve the hi-score to get a trophy.
* Password - A text document giving the numbers for Game's administrator password (which will help the User access the clock), asking to list in this order:
	1. Spot the odd one out on my ID card (found in the Images folder).
	2. My favorite number (found on his sKite profile after opening the 18+ folder).
	3. Miss Tokyo's private number (found in the 18+ folder).
* GOODBYE - A text document, apparently from GiGi. It simply says "Game, I have to leave. Sorry.".

Opening the trash can gives you the **Private Detective** achievement.

### PROHIBITED

The PROHIBITED folder is a folder with a lock on it. Game advises the User (as his conscious) to not open it for any reason. The key is held by the flying squirrel seen on the desktop, but won't let go without a cracked hazelnut (this being the segment's main puzzle).

Once the User obtains the key, and shrinks it to the proper size with ZinWip, he can open the folder's lock. This causes Game to finally break his character and warn the User not to open it. If he does anyway, the only contents are a single application: This Is Not A Game. Game will move the icon around the screen, but if the User is quick enough to click it, the program will load.

### Clock

The clock is an application used to tell the time. However, it is password locked. Inputting the correct code (as detailed in the trash can) will allow access to the clock, displaying the time as 2:00 AM (the late night). The User can click the loose line in the A to change it to a P, making it 2:00 PM (the afternoon). This will help the tree from Image 01 to grow by giving it sunshine.

Successfully imputing the code gives you the **Administrator** achievement.

## Trivia

* Each of the "Truth" documents are promising information on an infamous topic known for it's secrecy and connections to conspiracy theories.
	+ 01 deals with "Roswell", referring to the Roswell incident where a military weather balloon was recovered, but many believe this is simply a cover for an alien encounter.
	+ 02 deals with the "Kennedy's Death", referring to the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy, which is a subject of many conspiracy theories to those who don't believe in the official conclusion.
	+ 03 deals with "Apollo 11", better known as the first moon landing, which is also a heavy subject of conspiracy theories proposing that the landing was fake and humans have not actually been to the moon.
* In the Kickstarter Alpha Footage, the desktop looked slightly different, but contained all of the same elements (aside from the Clock, which is seen in the top left corner rather than being it's own application/icon).
