Product Description

icon-folder-48.pngA world where every folder becomes a room and every file becomes a tool.

Rename, copy, search, and undo—unlock locked folders one by one and escape.

File Explorer is the game board—the game screen is just Windows Explorer. The address bar, search box, sorting, view switching, and even showing hidden items all work just like the real thing—and they all become the keys to the puzzle.

"This becomes a puzzle" — Rename to F2icon-chess-pawn-48.pngCreate chess pieces, activate bombs by changing file extensions, connect bridges with copy and paste, find paths with a search, and undo mistakes with Ctrl+Z.

Every stage is a new experiment — from a chessboard, train station, weather station, gravity lab, disk defragmentation, to a messenger — with different rules in the same explorer.

Anyone who has used a computer—instead of the manual, the function you already know is the way to operate it.

🎮 How to use

  • Movement: Arrow keys / WASD
  • Run/Exit: Space · Open File: Double-click
  • Rename: F2 (Changes the extension as well)
  • Cut / Copy / Paste: Ctrl+X / C / V
  • Undo: Ctrl+Z · Stage Refresh: F5
  • Search bar, sorting, view switching, showing hidden items — use it all just like a real explorer.

"A game with endless possibilities, as numerous as the number of new folders you can create on the desktop"
Both your ideas and your ability to implement them are outstanding. I really enjoyed playing.
"The gimmicks were fresh and the difficulty was just right. … "A puzzle game where you twist the folder everyone knows in the correct direction. … Anyone who has handled a folder will enjoy it."
The game design using a computer system is interesting. It feels like a meta-fiction puzzle.

This game is a laboratory to me.

"Could a file explorer be something like this?" — I have been experimenting by putting the imaginations that came to mind into folders one by one. Some folders became chessboards, some became train stations, and others became weather stations that change the weather.

The stages of this game are a record of those accumulated experiments. And the folder is set to continue growing whenever a new imagination arises.

I hope you have a fun experiment in your file explorer as well.
