Syntax Overflow
A downloadable game for Windows
Oh no! Your friend just fell face first into a strange computer and now he is stuck inside!
This is a cooperative puzzle game about deciphering a cryptic language inspired by Chants of Senaar, We Were Here and Keep Talking & Nobody Explodes.
To play you need two computers and a friend, preferably one you won't have the urge to kill when they don't understand anything you tell them.
One of you will play as a clueless doofus trapped inside a computer and the other will be sitting behind said computer guiding them to the exit.
Communication is the key to understanding the mysterious language of this computer.

- With their help solve the puzzles and escape
The Guide
