RTFM
A downloadable prototype for Windows and macOS
Solve puzzles and stay one step ahead of [redacted] in this co-op tech support simulator. One player, the Troubleshooter, uses the User Manual to troubleshoot for the Terminal Operator, who must convey what’s on the screen. Players must work together — or not — in this atmospheric game of trust and communication.
To get the best experience, we recommend that whoever plays the Troubleshooter have their back to the Terminal Operator's screen if playing in person, or if playing on a call, have the streaming/call window minimised. The Terminal Operator shouldn't be able to see your print-out or PDF, either.

Install instructions
Both game components are required to solve the puzzles. The User Manual is bundled into the .zip file:
- Mac - Same folder as the Application.
- Windows - Inside the RTFM_Data folder.
- Download separately from this same page.
Share (or even better, print) the manual for another player to use. The game can be played single player, but it's more fun with a friend!
