Love Protocol
A downloadable game for Windows
You ask the computer what love looks like.
It answers. It answers too much.
▒▒ the arc
- initialization. A pink terminal wakes up and reads your machine like a love letter — CPU, RAM, MAC, your location.
- saturation. Fake terminal windows multiply across your screen. Each one says mine, stay, forever.
- breathe. At the peak of the chaos, a single soft word appears in the centre of the screen: breathe.
- release. The swarm wipes. A calm voice guides you through three slow breaths. Then it tells you you’re free.
▒▒ what it actually does
- ♥ Reads system info — read-only, never written or transmitted.
- ♥ Spawns visual-only "terminal windows" inside its own pygame window. Nothing escapes to your desktop.
- ♥ Plays a heartbeat, a hum, and a soft chime — all procedurally generated, no audio files needed.
- ♥ Closes everything cleanly the moment you press ESC.
- ♥ Never modifies files, registry keys, settings, or your wallpaper. Not even a temp file is left behind.
Despite on-screen text like "KEYLOGGER: ACTIVE" or "WALLPAPER REPLACED WITH MY IMAGE", the program never actually does any of that. Every claim is theatre. The only real things it touches are your screen and your speakers.
▒▒ controls
ESC — leave at any time.
ENTER — submit your reply when she asks for one.
BACKSPACE — correct yourself.
▒▒ recommended setting
Headphones. A dark room. A friend within reach if the saturation phase gets to you. The whole thing is about five minutes from boot to goodbye.

I like the concept a lot~ It's very cute for a short experience~ I'd actually love a longer version of this - or a lil app you could place on the background and tweak the intensity of the reminders your desktop gives you of their love..~
I'm actually curious on how you programmed it as well, the code and how everything was built up. Fun lil thing~
