Welp, this makes me very happy and as long as we're even remotely okay-ish financially I will def be supporting you guys and buying it when the commercial build comes out.
Love the game! DON'T appreciate the constant loud creaking/banging house noises being played over EVERYTHING. I can't even lower it in the settings menu under the sound effects bar... Is it some type of bug??
Took care of it coding wise, doing a couple other tasks before uploading a new build. (It's an unfortunate side effect of Renpy's coding for looping sfx.)
Hi! Thank you for making this game! I would have a couple questions, if you don't mind.
I watched a let's play of it, and there were scenes (well, a couple lines) not included in the version I downloaded... it would make sense to think that was an update, but I literally downloaded this two weeks ago for the first time, and the playthrough was posted earlier than that...
Is there any way to get access to that content now if it was removed?
Is there going to be a sequel? (Shawn and Felicia being named despite only appearing briefly made me curious. If there is ever going to be one, are they going to be featured in it?)
And this might be a silly question, but do the main characters have official heights?
Ahh, I removed/replaced those lines since they either felt out of place, unnecessary, or because of other changes made in other parts of the story. As it is now, it probably won't have any other edits in the story.
As for a sequel, there is something we've been working on. But won't be ready for quite some time.
And the heights, no official ones. (But small boy shall remain the shortest.)
Thank you for this game, it is spectacular. I rarely comment, only if I find a game to be really good. I love horror and romance so this combination was great. I kind of developed a crush on Rowan, and the voice acting makes the game that much better. Good job voice actors and actresses! I am also happy to say the characters were all different, not bland compared to some other games. And the many choices made me so nervous, a thing not many horror games can do. I'm not sure if you plan on continuing making games, but this is really good and I encourage it. Keep up the good work!
Thank you for enjoying the game~ The entire team did their utmost best during those few weeks we had. (And yes, good, panic. Panic over the choices as the timer runs out! Mwuahaha.) Look forward to some good news a few months from now~
There will still be updates if bug fixes are needed and polishing it here and there. Other than that, there probably won't be any news until around Spring at the earliest.
So glad I stumbled across this game. Completed everyone 100% and I'm really glad that I did!
First of all, the art was fantastic. Love the character designs and CGI. They really add to the atmosphere that you were working towards!
Game design was also great and I had a blast playing through it! The sections with a ton of options were absolutely nerve wracking and panic inducing, so a great thing in a horror game.
Writing, characters, and story were super engaging. Everyone interested me and I really couldn't put down the game until I uncovered every single thing that this had to offer.
Sound design: phenomenal. One of the best I've heard in a LONG TIME!
I only wanted more but can see myself going through it over and over again regardless. An absolutely superb game! :D
Well I have good news then. We'll be uploading a Halloween update soon with some new scenes and sfx added in. (No new art though, she's been overwhelmed with work.) A small taste of what to look forward to once we finally announce the kickstarter. =P
really loved it!sadly im unable to get the true ending,i already have all the other endings unlocked and i do what it says on the walkthrough but the option for the true ending doesnt appear;;;
How strange, I even opened up the latest version and the choice appeared for me. Hmm, try mixing up the first 3 choices so you don't end up locked on either the Trespasser's or Waite's routes.
I absolutely LOVED this game!!! Everything felt perfect to me! I loved all the characters and their personalities, even if things were a little rushed! yanderes in my favorite visual novels? more likely than you think. I also feel like the horror was much more real because of the tension you built in the text! I'm really looking forward to the October update you have planned :0 Thank you so much for making such a fun game :)
lol, was searching for walkthrought for the game but didnt find anything. but whatever i already finished game. all six endings, yay.
amazing work. i liked plot, cute artstyle and yandere characters(boi, this Rowan guy,,, really got interested in him after second ending. and player bff... lol, don't judge a book by its cover). thanks for amazing game and hard work! will be praying for games this quality.:D
p.s. sorry for my poor English, not my first language.:)
I just played this game, and I must say, it has a lot of potential, great characters, great plot, the artstyle is very good and it makes the use of ominous ambience and fearing the unknown a lot better and more effective than jumpscares!
Amazing work! You should all be proud of yourselves! :D
Glad you enjoyed it! The entire team put our all into it, even though we missed the nano deadline. (And apologies for the non-stop walking bug, we only caught that a couple weeks ago. It'll be fixed in the 3.0 build which we were still scouring for bugs. Quite a few floaty faces.)
This was fantastic! Engaging plot, adorable art, nice use of music/sounds/timed choices to amp up the tension, little details like Luana's sprite reflecting the fact that she ripped her tights...I'm really impressed! Another comment already said it down below, but I also really enjoyed the fact that the game relied more on atmosphere and the fear of the unknown rather than jump scares or tons of gore to make the game scary.
I got rejected by both love interests in my first playthrough — lol, even in a game I can't get a date — but I actually really like that ending! Definitely going to check out your other games after I finish this one!
Thank you~ I always strive to do my best to make sure the timing is just right when it comes to the music and sounds. (You wouldn't believe how many sfx I downloaded.)
To be more specific, YOU'RE the one who rejected the boys. =P You're too good for them. (Note: Oh goodness. I will say the older games will be lower quality. Which is to be expected since I always tried to improve with each one. So bewaaaare.)
wooooo this was SO good !! i loved how there was multiple endings and i was pleasantly surprised to figure out there was romantic endings (completely read over the fact that waite and rowan are love interests. thought this was just gonna be a spooky horror vn)
i dont want to spoil anything but the rejection endings were honestly my favourite endings. i also loved the option of not doing anything and how sometimes thats even the right option.
i just love the game overall :-) with horror games im always worried theyll just rely on jumpscares (either loud noises or sudden images) but this was more atmospheric!! i loved the music. LOVED the characters. the art is also really good and surprisingly cute??
dont know if this counts as a spoiler but the description of what's happening during the death scene in the upside-down room...made me physically ill BUT IN A GOOD WAY i love when horror physically affects me whether its a sick feeling or tensing up. thats when i know its really good
anyways i just really love this game and everything about it so if you do ever decide to expand the story that would be AMAZING. (god rereading this and just count how many times i said love)
The scene you mentioned kept making me think that there should be art with a lot of the scenes to add to the horror. Of course, we are limited in time and no budget, but it would be fun to work on art for more scenes someday.
As Razumi (Rowan's VA) already said, glad you enjoyed it!
Regarding that death scene, my editor pushed me to make it as descriptive as possible. (Heck after polishing several of the death scenes, he asked me if I wanted to make them longer. So if we do expand...expect even longer deaths.) >=3
I am really loving your game! I am surprised it has partial voice acting and the premise it's pretty interesting. I am looking forward to how it'll play out. I even did a let's play for it. You can check it out here:
(This tutorial "update" sure loves being buggy doesn't it?)
Okay. Fixed for real. BUT I'm going to do a something lil extra before uploading it considering how many times I've claimed to have "fixed it" the last several days.
Next build will have a preview of what I've been working on coding. It's only up to the first horror cg though, so optional to see it.
i have run in to a bug. i am on PC for reference. on choice 3 the timer doesn't stop after making my choice. i have tried to click past it fast or keep clicking to get far enough past it to stop the timer but as soon as it reaches 0 it rewinds to say she was slapped. if i try to scroll wheal back at that point it will not let me. also the empty timer will stay at the top. i have also tested making different choices earlier. no change.
i deleted the old file and I just re installed it and it is still happening.... :( my saves from the old version are still there if that means anything.
Finished the game with the help of the walkthrough, it was fun! The music was especially creepy and the descriptions...I'm just thankful that it is afternoon here haha. Would have loved to know more about Rowan though, seeing as he isn't who he actually is.
Glad you enjoyed it! And completely understandable. Unfortunately I wasn't able to write everything I had originally planned. (Thus why unrealistic bonding.)
Depending on how things go though, it's possible the story will be expanded in the future.
(english isn't my first language so sorry if my grammar isn't great)
I just finished all the endings. Although the game is a little short it manages to tell a really great story. I love the art, and the voice acting is really well done (I seriously loved Rowans voice ^-^). I like how the game doesn't rely on jumpscares or gory art to scare you. The story is creepy on its own. Like most visual novels, you need to use your imagination for some of the images. Luckily the text is always very descriptive. I also love how you have a very limited time to make some of the choices which makes the game more exiting. I had a lot fun playing and can't wait for future games by the creator!!
Glad you enjoyed our project so much! You wouldn't believe how long our "potential cgs" list was. But I made the "required" list as tiny as possible, I didn't want to ruin Fungii's hand. And yes, good, let the chills run through you. >=3
I'm also quite fond of using timed choices (when the time's appropriate). Just more suitable when you're trying to survive.
I shall do my best to create more entertaining vns/kns in the future~ (And depending on how things go, we just might expand on this one.)
Glad you enjoyed it! Wasn't sure how everyone would react to the endings, or if my writing would bring any chills. My beta-reader told me that there are confusing parts (in a bad way) but didn't want to push release any further. Glad that didn't ruin your experience.
As for the final cg you're missing, the only way to get it is to die in the red light green light room. =P
And depending on how the nano is received, it is possible we'll be expanding it in the future. (With more realistic bonding, more nights, and more deaths. Mwuahaha.)
Ahh her nationality. She's half Moroccan from her father's side, and half Latina from her mother's side. The little tidbits here and there were Moroccan Arabic. (I wanted to put a mini glossary, but code didn't work properly.)
As for if we do something to celebrate a milestone, it'll be discussed. =P

Will there be Sequel?
We're working on a commercial version with a longer story to cover areas I couldn't during Nano, and more love interests.
I still Curious what Renata meant by Him betrayed
Don't worry, that and other unresolved bits will be answered. =3
Thank you!!~\( ' u ' )/
Welp, this makes me very happy and as long as we're even remotely okay-ish financially I will def be supporting you guys and buying it when the commercial build comes out.
Love the game! DON'T appreciate the constant loud creaking/banging house noises being played over EVERYTHING. I can't even lower it in the settings menu under the sound effects bar... Is it some type of bug??
We'll be sure to lower the volume in the next update!
It's a bug, where if you go on a certain Waite choice/path it keeps the banging/slamming SFX that never quits.
Took care of it coding wise, doing a couple other tasks before uploading a new build. (It's an unfortunate side effect of Renpy's coding for looping sfx.)
I figured it was Ren'py weirdness. I just mentioned it to make sure you knew it was what they were mentioning.

are there gonna more update again or 4.0 is the last updated of the game ??
There will still be updates if bug fixes are needed and polishing it here and there. Other than that, there probably won't be any news until around Spring at the earliest.

Ahh, my apologies. The link to the walkthrough was the word "here" itself. Will possibly update the summary in the future so it's easier to find.
Glad you enjoyed our project!

Thanks a lot for letting me experience this game!
Glad you're enjoying it! The team really put our all into it. I'll be sure to check out the lp!
Hello! I'm having the same problem as TabbySan, and I have a Mac.
(This tutorial "update" sure loves being buggy doesn't it?)
Okay. Fixed for real. BUT I'm going to do a something lil extra before uploading it considering how many times I've claimed to have "fixed it" the last several days.
Next build will have a preview of what I've been working on coding. It's only up to the first horror cg though, so optional to see it.
New build's up, tested it properly, should work now!
i have run in to a bug. i am on PC for reference. on choice 3 the timer doesn't stop after making my choice. i have tried to click past it fast or keep clicking to get far enough past it to stop the timer but as soon as it reaches 0 it rewinds to say she was slapped. if i try to scroll wheal back at that point it will not let me. also the empty timer will stay at the top. i have also tested making different choices earlier. no change.
Apologies for the bug! I was able to identify the problem and quickly fixed it. Will have new builds up within an hour!
i deleted the old file and I just re installed it and it is still happening.... :( my saves from the old version are still there if that means anything.
*facepalms* Turns out I only fixed the problem in the screens file, but not the script. (I feel like a liar now.) Fixing right now!
Turns out it's still not fixed.
It should now. Tested it properly, like I should've done the first time instead of rushing. Very sorry that!
Finished the game with the help of the walkthrough, it was fun! The music was especially creepy and the descriptions...I'm just thankful that it is afternoon here haha. Would have loved to know more about Rowan though, seeing as he isn't who he actually is.
Glad you enjoyed it! And completely understandable. Unfortunately I wasn't able to write everything I had originally planned. (Thus why unrealistic bonding.)

Thanks for the suggestion, I added the tags!
I voiced Rowan and drew the background art for his romance ending. I hope people enjoyed how I interpreted him.
Unlocking the middle CG on the first gallery page stumped me a little too at first. It does appear to be lurking about among the choice selection.
I personally hope we expand on this. I quite enjoyed helping out.
Glad you enjoyed it! Wasn't sure how everyone would react to the endings, or if my writing would bring any chills. My beta-reader told me that there are confusing parts (in a bad way) but didn't want to push release any further. Glad that didn't ruin your experience.

Edit: Razumi explained to me what the bug is. Fixed it, uploading new build asap.
Sorry for the long wait, hope you enjoy!
