Are you someone's window?

OK - so the clue -

Things appear sunny
When you look at the bright star
Do you like to fish?

Even narrowed down to the office, it's not obvious to me what this is.

So we're gonna break this down.

Based on the screen shot below - are you in an EVEN numbered section of the screen shot (2 or 4)?

No, not one of the gangs, but you actually have the answer here.

Yeah - I realized - you're the computer?

I just can't figure out the fishing...

Yes I am the computer:

Things appear sunny - The computer connects to server "SONNY"
When you look at the bright star - The name on the monitor is BrightStar
Do you like to fish? - The password to the computer is written on a photo of Carey and Hickman on a fishing trip.

The number 16 also refers to the computer. I always thought it was funny when you look at the computer, the narrator responds in a disappointed tone: "It's a 286/16."

Hooray!
That was a good one!
I was thinking password - but that was Gunner - but you're right - it's written on the fishing photo in the lower left!
I even watched my playthrough and saw it.
And Bright Star is even a reference to Sierra - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bright_Star_Technology
Let me think of something...

Are you in a Leisure Suit Larry game?

Are you in a game with "Quest" in the title?

No, to both.

What games did Sierra create without "Quest" in the title? OK, I can think of four or five.

You're not in one of the Phantasmagoria games, are you? *crosses fingers*

Are you in a Gabriel Knight game?

That's like two questions - asking if I am not, then if I am?

So...

Yes?

Um. The first question (What games did Sierra create without "Quest" in the title?) is rhetorical. I was thinking.

The second ... oh, no. I don't know anything about Phantasmagoria.

Are you in Phantasmagoria 2?

Are you in Phantasmagoria 2?

Yeah. I was being silly, thus the " " emoji.

And no, I am not in Phantasmagoria 2.
