About this game

Any issues or concerns, leave them in a review or here: 

It's 2006. You just powered on your PC.

WXP Project drops you behind the screen of a mid-2000s desktop computer running a familiar operating system. Everything you do happens through the desktop — no menus, no cutscenes, just you and your machine.

Manage Your Money Open Retro National Bank and check your accounts. Move funds between checking and savings. Pay your recurring service bills before they're due. Freeze your virtual card when you're not using it.

Shop the Retro Web Fire up the browser and visit RetroMarket for processors, graphics cards, memory, hard drives, motherboards, and more. Compare prices, hunt for deals in the clearance section, or bid on parts at AuctionNet.

Upgrade Your Hardware Bought a new CPU? Open the BIOS and swap it in. Every component you install changes what your machine can do. Start with an AMD Sempron 3100+ and a GeForce FX 5700 LE — end up with whatever you can afford.

Keep Everything Running Bills come due. Services go offline if you don't pay. Your bank balance matters. Spend smart, upgrade often, and keep your desktop alive.

Play Some Games Need a break? Open the Games folder and play Snake Deluxe right on your desktop.

Chat With Friends Open Messenger and check in on your contacts. It's 2006 — everyone's online.

Everything in WXP Project lives inside the desktop. There's no world outside the monitor. Just boot up and see how far you can take it.

FEATURES:

  • Full Desktop Operating System — Navigate a complete Windows XP-inspired interface with a start menu, taskbar, clock, and draggable windows

  • Online Banking — Manage checking and savings accounts, transfer funds, freeze and reveal your virtual debit card, and pay bills through Retro National Bank

  • Retro Web Browser — Browse a fully functional in-game internet with multiple websites including RetroMarket, Hardware Hub, GameMarket, AuctionNet, and more

  • PC Hardware Upgrades — Shop for processors, graphics cards, memory, hard drives, motherboards, optical drives, and cases from RetroMarket and install them through the BIOS

  • BIOS Setup Utility — Swap and inspect every piece of hardware in your machine, from the CPU to the GPU, just like a real CMOS setup screen

  • Stock Trading — Buy and sell shares to grow your bank balance

  • Bill Management — Keep your services online by paying recurring bills on time — fall behind and things start shutting down

  • Built-In Desktop Games — Take a break and play classic games like Snake Deluxe right from your desktop

  • Instant Messenger (COMING SOON) — Chat with friends through a retro messaging app

  • Authentic 2006 Aesthetic — Every detail is designed to feel like sitting in front of a real mid-2000s PC, from the UI sounds to the beige hardware
