Welcome to the Into Indie Games walkthrough hub for Desktop Explorer.

Desktop Explorer is a point-and-click adventure that takes place in a Windows 2000-esque computer that you’ve inherited from your uncle. After turning it on and messing around a bit, you get pulled into a mysterious missing person’s case through a strange little app called Desktop Explorer.

The game is filled with mind-bending puzzles, and you need to use every bit of your wits to solve them. If you get stuck, our walkthrough hub will offer a helping hand, guiding you through the mystery.

After solving all the puzzles in Halibut’s user profile and a bit of keen detective work, we manage to gain access to m4x1mus’s user profile. We’ll learn more about Maxine’s story and also get to play around in a virtual space called NextRooms. But first we have to get Desktop Explorer up and running again.
