It was a weird year so it's good to play something familiar, that is always there. I really liked Where is 2021. It felt darker than previous games, but isn't the entire 2020 kind of dark? And yet, this game lightened my day. I'm very thankful that you keep making these games every year, at this point it is my tradition to play them on New Year's Eve :)
I like the change compared to the previous games. 2021 looks like it could go either way, good or bad. But I'm hopeful too, it will be better. Happy New Year Mateusz! May your 2021 be awesome with Slice of Sea a success in every metric! :)
Also - there should be an option on that window that pops up about exe being blocked that allows to read more or see more or advanced - where you can tell your computer to open it anyway.
It's back. We'll I managed to complete where is 2021? and by chance I managed to guess the second binary code but I was unable to find the the actual item. Thank so much for this and. Enjoy the full uncut gameplay with no commentry.
Oof, looks like you were following some wildly outdated instructions for Linux builds. Not your fault! Ubuntu 14.04 is ancient, it stopped being supported ages ago. According to more recent docs, you should be building for 20.04. For the time being for all other Linux users, the best way to get it working on Linux is to add the windows exe as a non-steam game in Steam, and set it to use Proton compatibility tool, that works well.
I would recommend grabbing an older package for the libraries, extracting them, then using a wrapper script to start the game. This worked like a charm for me!
#!/bin/bash # Adapted from: # https://itch.io/docs/itch/integrating/platforms/linux.html # Move to exe's directory (required for audio libs) cd "`dirname "$0"`" # Set the libpath and execute the binary export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:./lib/ exec ./where_is_2021 $@
Fantastic, Mateusz, and splendid atmospheric music by Thumpmonks as ever! I too managed to get it to work on Mac Catalina just by moving it to Apps despite dire Apple warnings (rolleyes). PS which City is it?
Lovely return to pointing and clicking, I hope this is just a tease of what we can expect after Slice of Sea. Particularly the music by ThumpMonks gave me a strong Submachine vibes.
I've also loved the ASCII easter egg - honestly I could not find the second disc, so it was nice to be able to finish this without randomly clicking everywhere.
A very unique chapter of the 'Where is?' series with an incredible and immersive atmosphere reflecting the unprecedented course of this year.
The end of 2020 in a few days of course also marks the full conclusion of the special Flash era. Thank you Mateusz for the amazing experiences and the fond memories for more than a decade now. I wish you a happy New Year!
This is quite the game to play, here at the end of the year. While the events of the world did leak into Where Is 2017, that was more hopeful and funny kinda. A year which could be beaten, that could be replaced with a new, kinder year.
This game is not like that. This is a year where the threat could be seen (if unintentionally so) right in Where Is 2020, but nobody could have predicted how devastating unleashing this year upon the world could have been. And the year that comes next has no external shell of newness or kindness anymore, but just a blank, ominious stare of unknown potential, for both ill and maybe even good.
In short, even if I'd rather real life hadn't had to write this plot, the way the Where Is Year? games have evolved with time have been quite something indeed. Let's hope 2021 is kinder than it looks, eh?

And you are? I loved it!

Oh, I was excepting something about COVID-19
How do I tell my Windows 10 and Panda Dome anti virus that this is a safe file? Each time I try to play it quarantines the exe
turn off antivirus? :D
Also - there should be an option on that window that pops up about exe being blocked that allows to read more or see more or advanced - where you can tell your computer to open it anyway.
Has anyone been able to play it on an iPad? I’m so disappointed that I can’t!
there is no iOS download here. Not sure why you're disappointed.
My mistake. Duh!

I'll ty a build for 20.04 today and see what happens. :D

Download the ".deb" package file:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/amd64/libssl1.0.0/download
https://www.gog.com/forum/mable_the_wood/libcryptoso100_not_found_on_ubuntu for the discussion on how to make use of the libraries contained in the package.
Extract the libraries:
$ dpkg-deb -x libssl1.0.0_1.0.2n-1ubuntu5.7_amd64.deb libssl
$ mkdir lib
$ mv libssl/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/* lib
runme.sh:
#!/bin/bash
# Adapted from:
# https://itch.io/docs/itch/integrating/platforms/linux.html
# Move to exe's directory (required for audio libs)
cd "`dirname "$0"`"
# Set the libpath and execute the binary
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:./lib/
exec ./where_is_2021 $@
So amusing and impressive! Always fun to play the "Where is..." games!
Wow, I really love the atmosphere!
In my opinion one of if not the best "Where is ..." (time to replay the others).
Thanks!
Great game! Worked well for me on Big Sur after to moving it to my application folder too :)
That's good news. :D

Gdansk.
As every year, your end-of-year-game is nice and amazing! Thanks!
Thank you so much Mateusz, another yearly tradition for me. The music was so complimentary. I wish you well for the next year.
Lovely return to pointing and clicking, I hope this is just a tease of what we can expect after Slice of Sea. Particularly the music by ThumpMonks gave me a strong Submachine vibes.
I've also loved the ASCII easter egg - honestly I could not find the second disc, so it was nice to be able to finish this without randomly clicking everywhere.
Glad you liked it. Yes, Thumpmonks are working hard on music for Slice of Sea. And yes, I am returning to classing pnc mechanics.
Hâte d'acheter le grand jeu !!!!
Worked for me on macOS (Catalina 10.15.7) after moving it to th Applications folder.
Thanks for this game, it was quite enjoyable to kick some viruses !
Best

Brilliant! It was very satisfying to blast the [spoilers] out of the sky ;) Happy New Year to you too, Mateusz!

Thank You, and even though flash era ends - I'm not. ;)

Thank You for writing this. Also - the more cute each new year was - the worse it turned out. So here's hoping for the future.
