Computers: in this day and age we pretty much can’t live without them. Many of us spend all day staring at a monitor for work and then all night staring at a different monitor for leisure. We load them up with productivity suites and games and browsers and photos and god knows what else. And boy, do they ever drive us up the wall when they start running slowly, freezing or crashing. You may or may not have wondered what’s it like being an operating system trying to manage all the nonsense we throw at our computers—but either way, here’s your chance to find out. You’re the OS is a game by developer Pier-Luc Brault, and it puts you in the metaphorical shoes of a simple operating system. As the OS, your job is to manage the various processes and inputs that are all competing for your attention, as well as managing your RAM and, ideally, preventing your user from launching you across the room in frustration. Thankfully, as a modern computer, your hardware has multiple CPU cores to which you can assign processes, and the gameplay loop involves shuffling processes in and out of CPU allocation slots. Neglect a process for too long and its smiley face will devolve slowly into indifference, sadness and despair; continue to neglect it and your user will kill the process completely out of frustration. If this happens enough times, your user will ragequit and you’ll be in the doghouse; 10 ragequits and the user will simply give up and hit “reset,” at which point it’s game over.
