ChronoWindow.exe

ChronoWindow.exe is a 2D retro puzzle-platformer, in this game, your operating system interface is not just a frame, it is your primary environmental tool. By dragging, resizing, and overlapping retro OS windows with your mouse, you directly manipulate time, altering the physical state of the world to help your character reach `Finish.exe`.

Key Features

* Dual Layer Control: Move your pixel art character with the keyboard while managing desktop windows with your mouse.

* Manipulate Time: Drag `Day.sys` to awaken solar mechanisms and light-block pathways, or slide `Night.dll` over hazards to put dangerous plants to sleep and reveal shadow platforms.

* Twilight Zones: Overlap both windows to create a dusk zone with its own rules, revealing secret platforms and hidden floppy disks.

* Limited RAM: In later levels the windows share a memory budget, so you must choose how big each one can be.

* Collect floppy disks to unlock `Finish.exe` and solve multi-step environmental puzzles.
