Interesting concept, but the console commands are very tedious to use and rapidly drain away the fun. I got to the "Can you hear it too?" part, but then it wasn't clear how to advance and I wasn't interested in messing around with the command system to try a bunch of options. I recommend toning down the console command aspect. For example, don't require the <>, make it not case sensitive, and remove the need for the user to constantly use the arrow keys to move their cursor to the right spot in order to type. Also, please give more hints on how to advance in the game.
I'll also mention that I'm too young to have played text based PC games back in their day, so my only experience with them is in nostalgia horror games like this one. Therefore, perhaps the way you setup the PC in the game is accurate to the time period, but I still recommend making it more user friendly. Many players are too young to know how games worked back in the text game floppy disk era. The other horror games I've played in this style just have the text commands follow a basic grammatical structure like: USE HAMMER ON DOOR, LOOK AT BATHTUB, GO TO KITCHEN, etc. That makes it much easier for players.
I liked to Lucy and Unknown Tape, so it was disappointing that I couldn't figure out this game. However, I'll check back in the future to see if this game gets improvements.
Thank you so much for your feedback and the translation suggestion, I will definitely have to think about it :) I am currently working on my next project and I might try to get in touch with you!
