Welcome to the Game 2.0

Welcome to the Game 2.0 is a puzzle style horror game and was released on April 3, 2018. The characters in this game are unrelated to the first but some of the game mechanics are the same. Such as the main game mechanic which is search on the deep web to find codes that you need to get to your goal which is to get into the Shadow Web.

You play as Clint Edwards who is a detective investigating the disappearance of a woman named Amelea. In the beginning of the game you see a livestream of her saying she is being chased by people in masks which Clint concludes is most likely a cult group called Noir. In the game Clint has to from 10PM to 4AM which gives the player 3 hours in real world time to find all of the codes.

In the game you have to defend yourself against five major threats that will result in a game over. The are a hired hitman, the police, cultists from Noir, a serial killer called the Breather, and a secret killer known as the Doll Maker. They each have a different way of being dealt with and avoided which Adam gives you in the form of documents.

The easiest to deal with are the police which you can avoid if you hack into your neighbors’ Wi-Fi and jump between them to stop them from tracing it to you. There are two stores that allow you to buy things that help you throughtout the game like software to hack safer Wi-Fi accounts, security supplies, and VPNs that earn you DOScoin (the form of money in the game). However the things you buy other then the software require you to go outside to get them in the alleyway which is where the Breather is. This also makes it easy to avoid him if you don’t really buy anything.

There are two other major game mechanics which are that you are constantly getting hacked and the power turns off at random times which makes the player nearly blind unless they have a flashlight. The game auto saves every 15 minutes however if you get a Game Over it starts over at the title screen deleting any save data forcing you to start a new game. Which is one of the reasons the game has been called absurdly hard to play and the developer himself is disappointed in the endings considering how much work and time you have to put in to get them.
