Phew, finally managed to beat it after discovering that only one 'admin override' is active at a time, which I'm not sure is meant to be hidden or not! I would be curious to see how the story would continue and/or end, but I know you already have plenty of games spinning in the air!
I'm still looking forward to continuing the story of this game, but yeah I am very busy. Thanks for playing.
I'll have to try it in DOSbox or on windows -- unfortunately on Mac, ctrl + arrow keys will "swipe" to other open apps which makes it difficult to play the web build.
Problem solved by just closing all other open apps 😎
glad you got it working!
