i really enjoyed playing this game although i discovered that one can accidentally go through the walls which is shown in the video i made but it made me laugh alot but i see potential in this game being really good if some of the issues are fixed
Really enjoyed watching your playthrough! We have put out another update that includes fixes for all the bugs you encountered, one of which we were unaware of until your video haha. Hope you give it another go, and if you do record another video we'll be waiting to check it out!
Yeah. It looks like my laptop interaction issue has been patched out. So my video's gonna be a little outdated in terms of game version. But it's still a good game. Just wish we had something better to work with in terms of showing damage instead of the blood splatter effect.
We put out another update today which fixed a number of bugs including the emulator going through the player. And the previous patch fixed the cursor not being visible on the game over screen as well. We love to see playthrough videos so definitely be sure and share if you do another in the future!
Enjoyed the playthrough! Don't feel left out I just missed your vid, awesome you were able to finish the working version! Love the energy in your commentary, fun to watch :)
Not going to repeat what others have said about the interaction issues, but I loved this game. I had fun going through the house trying to find little secrets, and the excitement I had once I did. The monster is creepy but somehow familiar and the fact it changes into random objects is actually unsettling.
Loved the playthrough! The interaction issues are fixed in the post jam version already, but we will be releasing another update today so I would recommend waiting for it as well :)
From the concept alone, I'm giving this the rating for best game. I've already played the updated version of this game after this video, so it's too bad I never actually got to finish it in video due to the interaction bug..But this is close enough right? This game was slightly reminiscent to my experience in Babysitter Bloodbath and Stay Out of the House, and I thought you made this pretty straightforward especially with the objective on the top right. Hope to see more projects similar to this one!
Hey PhuCat! Enjoyed your video and I'm glad you enjoyed the game. We also will be updating the game again today, and that update will include making progression a bit clearer and more in depth. Along with a couple fixes, polish, and replay-ability features :)
After seeing the body, find the screwdriver and maybe-grabbing the Wifi code, I see zero items to help me progress further? I unscrewed the hatches but found no item to help me progress after looking through the house numerous times, perhaps the item is missing? Assuming there's a key somewhere.
Hello Neco, you're correct there is a key. My guess is that you arent away of one of the things you can interact with, and those would be bathroom mirrors. Assuming you did use all vents and hatches.
We will likely do something to make it more apparent they can be opened.
Ack - Welp! I'll facepalm for not ever seeing the mirror being interactable, likely having seen that drawers, toilet seats and everything else weren't touchable, I'm guessing my brain just disabled any form of curiosity that a 'Bathroom mirror' of all things would be, where all the other ordinarily-openable things weren't interactable.
So I just wasn't sure what the game wanted from me. The atmosphere is pretty good up until the monster, but after that point it all gets a bit tedious. Compounding on that, I had to restart the whole game on every death due to a lack of cursor on the death screen. It might have been some bugs that I ran into, but crossing the door threshold while being chased never triggered anything except the subtitles and led to me being stuck outside with mr monster man puppy-guarding the door. Left feeling confused.
Hey CoalFire! The way he was getting stuck in the door is a bug. However what you were missing the use of the screwdriver, which leads to other objects, and even an end game. Also the game over screen is set up for controller, so using arrow keys or wasd and enter. But we will add a cursor as well with our next update.
Hi. I am a consumer of Happy Palace deep web services and purchased your product 'EMULATOR' three weeks ago, and was looking for a refund. Basically I was expecting the product to be an all-in-one software console emulator, but when I put the installer CD in my computer, the disk launched software that compromised my computer and basically made static appear on my screen. Concerned by this, I took the computer to a repair shop that day for a recovery, but I haven't heard back from them yet. Unfortunately, the store recently had an incident, so I'm not able to return the product. Apparently the staff were found dead - stabbed, apparently - and my computer self-combusted in some sort of electrical fire. Notwithstanding this bizarre occurrence I believe your product is maliciously designed to attack and destroy user software and if a $200 refund is not given I will see you in court to repay costs for my computer. Thanks.
Hey thanks for the playthrough! You exposed a couple bugs that must have snuck in when we were trying to fix other issues. We will be updating the game tonight with all screws and vents working, along with some other polish and fixes.

Well then... that was interesting. *sips tea*
In some way I feel left out. "When you try your best but you don't succeeeeeeeeeeeeeed."

I thought you watched the vid and hated it, but I guess not... yay.

Completely understand, with the time frame of the jam we were unable to get to openable drawers and other things.
