About this game
Spamware is a short game. Approximately 30 to 60 minutes of playtime.
A 30,000-hour sentence is tough, but consider yourself fortunate. You’ve been chosen to be part of the Spamware program. Your task? Use the tools in your prison cell to identify and report spam.
Enjoy the cozy confines of your claustrophobic prison cell.
Each cell features a minimalist living space, including a square bed and door. Try to not sleep your 30,000-hour sentence away.
Identify spam on the TV.
Immerse yourself in a wide selection of 4 TV channels. While some offer regular programming, others bombard you with ads and promotional banners. Stay sharp!
Talk to other characters over the phone.
Stay connected with the outside world and other inmates with your trusty red phone. But be cautious - not all calls have good intentions. Some are attempts to sell or steal. Identify and report them!
Report spam using your PanelOS.
Report spam using the provided PanelOS computer. With enough successful spam reports, you might actually get to leave your cell early. Lucky you!
