You love your parents. But as you hear that familiar ring tone play once again, you know deep down that they're not calling you to catch up or ask how you're doing or have you over for dinner: no, they're calling you for tech support. You sigh, knowing that no matter how much you help them, it has and will never be enough for them. This isn't how you expected to be using your degree you studied so hard for. But what can you do? Say no? You love them, after all. So here you go, into battle once again!

In this, you'll have to face off against the virus that holds the computer hostage through a diverse series of minigames that will have you flex not only your typing skills, but your multitasking skills as you dodge bullets, solve equations, sort arrays, gather collectibles and more...all at the same time! Can you survive this multitasking frenzy all the way to the end? Unfortunately, this isn't something you can beat by just turning it off and on again!

Inspired by games like Typing of the Dead, Undertale, Big Brain Academy, Earthbound, Warioware and more!

Expected playtime for story completion - 15-30 minutes

Programming, Art: Lucas Gonzalez-Fernandez (FutureCopLGF)

Music: Pedro Gonzalez-Fernandez (soundtrack available here)

Sound: Bfxr, Undertale, Chrono Trigger, Time Crisis, Contra, etc

Made for the Flash Forward Jam 2022!
