Visual DOS 2024 is a narrative / cryptogram puzzle game. After upgrading to Visual DOS 2024, you start exploring the OS, but instead meet someone trapped at the other end. Using cryptogram puzzles, and a pre-installed news reader, you unravel the mysteries behind the scenes, and attempt to save your trapped friend. Visual DOS has over 60 cryptogram puzzles, a DOS like environment with DOS and other command-line commands that do things, and no real generative AI behind it.
