Hey! I think the game bugged out during the WASD part. When the screen is blank, I can move the dot just fine, but when there's a creepy face behind it, all of a sudden, the controls don't work!
i think the gray dot just gets hidden? it randomizes its placement - and sometimes that placement can be hidden within the gray values of the image beneath it. I could be wrong though! either way, I think that part needs some tweaking because its either far too easy (right next to it) or far too hard (literally impossibly far). its a hard balancing act! but if you keep running into it - lemme know and ill try to troubleshoot it for ya.
Huh! Im so sorry that's happening - although, unfortunately, I cannot recreate it so Im not entirely sure how to fix it. The best option i can think of it is sadly to restart the test from the beginning (sorry!). The most recent patch has a "reset test" option in the main menu for restarting to the beginning. I wish i had an option that fixed your current game though - so again, apologies! if that *doesnt* fix it, definitely let me know!
This was extremely good, are there different endings? I got to the end and the game shut down the second time, but after reopening it it kept repeating itself at the room where I have to find the telephone. Is after I find and read the "special day" thing all or did I miss something?
Amazing game anyway, I was just looking at your future racer 2000 in steam when I saw you have a new game planned and it turned out you've already posted the demo here, another masterpiece, well done.
Thank you!! That means so frickin much. It's *SUPPOSED TO* delete your save and restart but clearly that aint happening. But no! You did it all, my friend. Ill add in an end slide to confirm the ending - thanks for stickin with it and letting me know :) ALSO I should add - there *Will* be multiple endings, I just wanted feedback on what I have so far so I didnt fall too far down the rabbithole working on something that didnt work. So im glad ya liked it!:)
uploading a patch in a minute so itll delete the save and allow for you to start a new game - if ya do try it again, lemme know if it works on your end!
Saves still aren't deleted. Been stuck on the 'Find the phone' part w/ the crawly dude and pathways near the end. Uninstalled and reinstalled the .rar files as well to see if there was a patch but still stuck
thank you thank you! im watching now! Ha you actually missed the scare i spent the most time on because I forgot to disable to buttons at the right time - which unfortunately allows ya to breeze right past it (right after the strobey part with the "today was special" all black slide) So Im fixin it right nah! Super useful! <3 much love and thank ya for playin :)
HA! nvm. you still got it - when you turned around after the squid dude. Im actually torn on keeping it. Because that was arguably a far better placement for it. Man, so much fun to watch! SO many ideas!
ok im blowing up your post but i shoulda waited until i finished the vid to comment.
So you actually have a lot of the game left! i need to explain the mechanics better - but the longer you look at the buttons during the last AB calibration, the faster the dude moves toward you. so if you look away after press it, it will stop moving. Im going to make a slide for it RIGHT NOW
ah cool im going to play it again later! It freaked me out so i definitely want to play it again! I hope to see the full game soon. Keep up the good work! Ill add the rest of the playthrough on my channel later if i can beat it lol
that's intentional - its supposed to be a hard cut! but i changed the ending so its more definitive and less ambiguous. Ha i wanted to try something experimental but I think the general consensus has been its confusing. Ya live and learn!
unreal 5! im shit at regular coding so sadly unity and godot were out. i tried to optimize the best i could though so ideally, its relatively performative. lemme know if it isnt though
I will for sure. It’s on my list to play tonight. I’m also using unreal 5 for a game I’m making. Just so you know unity also has visual scripting. Not sure how it compares to BP in UE.
Hmmm - I’m sorry to hear that! Thank ya for letting me know though. When you say dying- do you mean the big eye guy gets ya? Trying to figure out which part is breaking.
ok i watching someone else play and im realizing the issue i think. ill add a slide or something to explain it. the longer you look at the buttons, the closer the big eye guy gets. so if you press a button and look away, itll stop moving. i totally forgot to explain that. MY BAD.

The problem isn't the dot's visibility; it's the controls. Using WASD after the "tutorial" seems to do nothing.

Sure thing, keep working on this, this is the best analogue and in general horror I've played in a while
thank ya so much :). seriously.

Dang this game is super creepy 10/10

I have one more problem. After i answer the phone and i do the calibration it just closes the game
that's intentional - its supposed to be a hard cut! but i changed the ending so its more definitive and less ambiguous. Ha i wanted to try something experimental but I think the general consensus has been its confusing. Ya live and learn!
sounds really interesting. Will try in a bit. Which engine is it running on?
unreal 5! im shit at regular coding so sadly unity and godot were out. i tried to optimize the best i could though so ideally, its relatively performative. lemme know if it isnt though
I will for sure. It’s on my list to play tonight. I’m also using unreal 5 for a game I’m making. Just so you know unity also has visual scripting. Not sure how it compares to BP in UE.
creepy game, but stuck on the choosing ab part, i click on the correct buttons but i keep dying.

added a small patch to make that clearer - but if youre still struggling, lemme know and Ill make the timer to get "caught" slower.
sorry for the late reply, but thank you for helping. i've enjoyed every game you've put out.
of course! thank ya :) and I *did* make the timer slower - seems like you werent the only one getting stuck.
