La femme qui ne supportait pas les ordinateurs

About

A point-and click puzzle game set in 1980s France where a woman using Minitel, a primitive online network, navigates unwanted messages from strangers and a sentient machine. Players guide her through dialogue choices and logic puzzles to resist harassment while managing her digital safety. Simple graphics and a text-based interface highlight the era's technology limitations. The game's unflinching look at early internet misogyny and technical barriers makes it a quietly radical artifact. Though short, it packs a sharp critique of online toxicity long before it became mainstream. With a 78% on Metacritic and a cult following among retro gaming circles, it stands as one of the first titles to address digital safety from a feminist perspective. The Apple II version remains the most popular due to its sharper text rendering.
