Apparatus: Exanimus [EARLY VERSION]

I found it! I know you guys aren't gonna believe me but I found it in an estate sale, some guy called Adrian...

I'm gonna post some pics soon, maybe a video to show you the box. It's in really good condition.

But that's not even the best bit - I popped the disc in... it installs. I've played the game! It runs fine. But it's nothing like any information I've seen online about it... there must be a lot of active imaginations out there

You explore this really creepy environment and collect keys to progress. Right next to where you start is this weird skull door with a keypad, I have no idea what the code is - I think we have a lot of digging to do

Haven't you read the rules? I can see you're new here

Pics or it didn't happen...

Yeah this has gotta be a troll post lol. So some newbie is gonna randomly find dirus software's last game? What, you got a time machine to travel back to 1999? Try someplace else, buddy ;-)

No, it's real! I actually found the game too, Bill Gates himself handed it to me alongside a whole roll of crisp 100 dollar bills

Guys, I promise you this is real. Just let me get my camera ready, I'll post a video of the box and some gameplay real soon

It's really strange, like there's a really large place to explore but I can't really figure out what to do, there's no direction or anything. And the controls SUCK! Like it's clunky as shit

Anyway, back to the camera...

And thus foxglove23 was never seen again...

Sorry! I was having trouble with the camera - the footage is a bit messed up

Holy shit

What?????? Is this happening?

Oh this could be big. We need to get this archived, I think -- foxglove are you okay to do that?

Uhhh, to be honest I might need some help, I'm not the most technical person out there...

That's alright :)

I'll reach out to postscriptum and they can help you out, they'll know what to do

Yo, I heard we found Apparatus? I think that's the last DIRUS Software game we need for the archive

foxglove, send me a PM and we can sort out dumping this thing, I'm sure everyone here is eager to get looking for whatever is hidden in this thing, knowing DIRUS...

Sure thing, I'm a little tired (I stayed up all night) but I should be good for this

Well, we did it! Apparatus: Exanimus is now in our archive - everyone feel free to download it and take a look

foxglove was right on the money, the controls do kinda suck. But there's *a lot* of stuff here to explore and dig through

I think we should start with the weird skull door with the keypad - there must be a code somewhere in here

I've also found a couple of places that say I need some kind of key, like 'red key' or 'blue key' - I've only found regular keys so far though. These seem special... Is there a story or anything? Has anyone found any narrative?
