NemOS

Recovered Archive Build v0.13

"Some files may be corrupted. Some files may be missing. Some files may be lying."

About

NemOS is a browser based operating system experience created for Hack Club's Stardance program.

At first glance, it appears to be a simple retro desktop environment featuring draggable windows, file explorer, notes, and a boot sequence.

However, hidden beneath the desktop is a fragmented archive documenting the life of an individual known only as Nemo and a mysterious project called NULL.

As more files are recovered, the truth behind the archive slowly reveals itself.


Current Features

Desktop Environment

  • Draggable windows
  • Window focus system (active window comes to front)
  • Resizable application windows
  • Desktop icons with single-click selection
  • Double-click application launching
  • Custom retro UI

Boot System

  • Animated boot sequence
  • Archive recovery messages
  • Corruption warnings
  • Interactive Y/N access prompt
  • Lore integrated startup experience

Applications

README_FIRST.txt

The first recovered file.

  • A notes application
  • The beginning of the archive narrative

ARCHIVE_EXPLORER.exe

A custom file explorer used to browse recovered records.

  • Folder navigation
  • File unlocking
  • Text document viewing

Narrative Systems

  • File based storytelling

Story Premise

The archive belongs to a person known as Nemo.

Within the recovered files are references to:

  • Project NULL
  • Chronos
  • A subject known as 13
  • Missing memories
  • Corrupted records
  • A grandmother that appears throughout the archive

The operating system itself may be part of the story.
