Dum-Dum

Dum-Dum is an adventure and simulator set inside Hogo OS 1985 Edition, a fictional computer operating system. In 1985, you are a bumbling idiot who accidentally stopped an evil mastermind from using Hogo OS to take over the world. You explore the system, solve puzzles and decipher clues to uncover what happened to Hogo and save the world.

Explore Hogo OS

The simulated operating system includes computer programs and features inspired by 1985. You can run games such as Solitaire 1985 and Hogoworm Dungeon, use the Animator and Piano Composer creativity applications, explore digital books and interactive stories, customize the desktop, and try a simple working BASIC programming language. The system also has a real-time clock, over 30 system colors including cyan, and can open three programs at once.

Exploring Hogo OS can reveal hidden activities, secrets and quests. You can use its programs and features to interact with quirky characters and uncover the strange history of the Hogo Company, or spend time in the open-ended sandbox instead of pursuing the main story.

Electro-sharing

Hogo OS includes a system called Electro-sharing, which lets you connect with someone who is not in the same room to send digital messages and install programs. People who receive messages through Electro-sharing are not required to respond.
