ABOUT THE GAME
Enter the words into the terminal,
Recall buried records.
``Type Help'' is a text puzzle mystery by William Rous. Type help, inbox, list, and the name of the file you found into the old computer's entry field and assemble the entire incident from the records you retrieved.
READ THE BRIEF
The first message is
Hand over the purpose of the investigation.
If you enter your inbox and open "Summary", you will receive a request to investigate the computer of a deceased external agent and find out how to solve the case. Read through long records and decide what information to look for next.

Invoke terminal functions by entering commands
Type help, inbox, list, etc. into one input field and press the Enter key to execute. Instead of pressing through menus, you access the research function by remembering the appropriate word yourself.
Find the next record using file name rules
The initial name of the recovered file contains numbers and/or strings, some of which are missing. Compare the records you find and deduce the name to search next.
Assembling the fragments into a complete picture of the incident
The official introduction states that the work investigates the Galley House incident and the death of an external agent from files on an old computer, and moves on to a deeper layer of mystery. We will update the picture as more information becomes available.
