MemoryManager98.exe

Your workstation is old. Your deadlines aren't.

MemoryManager98.exe is a desktop management roguelike inspired by Windows 98. Open applications, complete minigames, and rearrange programs and drivers in RAM to turn everyday office work into increasingly powerful scoring combinations.

Every application takes space. Every order has a deadline. Every driver can change how your build works.

BUILD YOUR COMPUTER
Discover 12 applications and 33 drivers. Combine colors, arrange neighbors, and find synergies that reward your playstyle.

MASTER YOUR WORK
Prepare documents, unpack archives, calibrate hardware, repair circuits, and pull the slot-machine handle. Better timing and accuracy mean more work before your multipliers kick in.

SURVIVE THE RUN
Clear 12 shifts with growing score targets. Finish every order or cash out early when your build allows it. Three missed deadlines end the run. Beat the main run to unlock endless mode.
