Great game. Great artwork and an interesting concept. I can only recommend it.

Which leads to the minor problems in this game:
  • Most disks only contains information, not programs. While you can boot a disk from some machines, I think only 2 or 3 disks have valid programs on them, and for most of them it looks like an accident. (And without a modifier, booting one of the disks can lead you to a dead end)
  • There are not much (useful) computer programs out there. Most computers are just a floppy data reader, the pedestrian OS, a movie title generator, TriPod OS or some other program that you've seen several times before.
  • The story is... well, I personally don't like stories without a good ending.
    That being said, the story is good at the beginning. It even has a few side quests. But later on.. There is only one path or "end this now".
  • Connect() with Slurp() and RemoteFunctionCall() is ridiculous overpowered; especially if you know the name of a few computers with their special APIs. Honestly, this thing breaks the game if you use it.
  • Elevators are strange. While the code on the inner elevator will tell me, that it will go to door A, because it's an elevator, and the elevator is on a different floor, the inner elevator door will lead to door B. I expected elevators to be coded in SPRAK. (Ok, this might be hard with path finding.)
  • Money is pointless. There is no point in having $1000000 or $-5000. It doesn't matter at all. You can even spend money if you don't have it. And you are never expected to pay it back.
  • Door unlock codes (that's what keys use) are not controlled by the code of the door itself. Kind of boring, because if you can read a doors code, you can put this code on any other open door and just use the new door.

But this are just small points, that I hope will be changed and will make else Heart.Break() more internally consistent.

All in all, 10/10, would hack my coffee again.
