Summary
An early in-game puzzle. The characters are depicted as abstract shapes.
The game is a combination of puzzle and story, combining several different kinds of logic puzzles and word puzzles. The puzzles include variations of Set, Black Box, and Sokoban, as well as many others. The overarching story is an allegory in which the player and other characters are programs in a broken, dysfunctional computer environment.
Originally, Plotkin released System's Twilight as shareware. Since 2000, it has been re-released as binary-only freeware. It runs only on the Mac OS Classic environment, but can be run in emulation on other platforms.

gollark: It would make most sense to just do the thought-duelly thing and have an accomplice surprise them in a way which isn't known in advance to you.
gollark: Wrong.
gollark: They run on 10W or so and I ran it through `units`.
