Hi Catzcircus! The color glitch in that scene is intentional, the room is just a long dark corridor but it gives the impression the character doesn't move sometimes: go up until you see a table and it should work, let me know how it goes! 

Thank you again for the gameplay I'mWithRedShirt ;\\\;

Hello Nyuu! I'm so sorry for the late reply ;__; 
I wanted to thank you for your kind words, for playing the game and reccomending to your friends too! Your comment is basically a medal of honor for a gamedev and I'm so happy right now ;\\\; thank you so much! 
Rule of Salt will take more time to develop but I'm cooking something for the next updates! 

Good luck for your exams >w< 
And if you play I hope you'll enjoy it! Thank you for commenting!

Hi Roseline! Thank you so much for your kind words >\\\< I'm glad you enjoyed the game this much!

Hi N0_connfction! Apologies for the late reply ;\\\\;
Thank you so much for playing Emerald Wasp and for making a fanart of it! The artwork you made is lovely ;\\\\; I love that you included the wasp in it too, it looks really good! It's not lazy at all!
I admit I never thought about somebody breaking all the lockpicks, I should put something to prevent that (or add more lockpicks), it's the first time it happens x°° but thank you for reporting the issue anyway, so I can fix it! 

Hi ImWithRedShirt! Thank you so much for making a gameplay and sharing it with me ;\\\\;
I watched it all and I loved it! Gonna comment on the video

Ah! That one is made by PinkAmaterasu (the same of the title screen), but you can use the other ones in the game like the stance for the shooting animation! And it's ok if it isn't canon, don't worry!

So I researched a little and it's probably an issue of the browser you're using (or the cookies), people say that downloading from another browser solved the problem >< I hope it works!

The one of Leon starting the hazing? That one is ok! 
Oooh thank you >\\\< I'd really love to read it and I'll be happy to share it!

Ooh >\\\< I'd love to see all the cast in your style ngl! Still treasuring your art of Béla!

Apologies for the late reply, I didn't have access to the computer until today!
I made a custom savefile, you just need to put this one in the save folder: savefile
Let me know if it works!

Hello Ferrets_wheel!
First of all, thank you so much for this kind review! 
By now you'll have probably finished it, I hope you liked the finale too! As a horror dev, it makes me proud to hear that my game is spooky and effective eheh! 
I'm a solodev, but the game wouldn't be the same without the artist of the portraits, the composer of the soundtrack and the testers!  

Also I'm really glad to hear you're on the hunt for the secrets! Good luck eheh! Thank you for playing it and reccomending it >w<

De nada! Si los usas, por favor pásame el enlace del juego, ¡buena suerte!

Hi Leonel! Thank you so much for playing the game and writing this post ;\\\\;
I'm happy to hear that you liked it so much! And you went after the secrets too, which is something not many players do! 

Hi Kkaraz! I'm sorry this happened ;w; which version of the game did you download?  
The downloads work fine for me (I checked) 

Hi Jago! Don't worry, I know it wasn't made with ill intentions and I appreciate you coming forward and writing to me, too!
I apologize for the late reply ><

I mostly referred to GenAI in the post, the ones that generate images and music through prompts. I admit I'm not very informed about c.ai and if it uses renewable energy or not on its servers (I have to educate myself better) but LLMs in general have an impact on the environment. I'd advise to use alternatives, like fanfictions or RP groups (with safe people you know). At the moment I'm writing this reply Google integrated its own unescapable LLM in the search bar, so removing the bot would be pointless I think. I don't know which of the bots is yours but I see many use the portrait art made by PinkAmaterasu, if you keep it I'd prefer you use my art instead to avoid their art to be scraped (I did the CGs in case)

Btw I've made anask blog on tumblrin the end, just to give an alternative!  

This never happened before, I'm sorry to hear that ;w; did the game show an error message before the crash? I can share one of my savefiles if you want to 

Ohohoh u\\\u I'm glad you did! I hope you'll like it too! 
(Don't worry, I'm not a native English speaker either ahah)

I finished the game and IT'S - SO - GOOD!!!  
I wanted to rate it for the jam but it won't let me, so I have to wait for it to finish to do it ;w; but really Hatoge, you reach new heights every game you make and this one is impressive! (The stair glitch doesn't ruin the experience, don't worry too much about it for now)

Thank you so much for your kind words, Bobo >\\\< 
I'm happy that you liked the game this much, to the point of being touched by the endings (but I'm sad I made you cry, too), your comment made my day! 

Hi Hatoge! I'm mindblown by the game, so far I've played is amazing! 
I think I encountered a bug though... if you go up the stairs two times but then go back one time and go back up the staircase become endless (you can only go up or down the stairs but you always get redirected on this map). I tried a new save file, went only up this time and it didn't trigger, so it must be that specific combination of actions that messed something in the staircase. Basically if you do this: up - up - down - up on the stairs they loop forever. 
It also happens if you're on top floor (where the entrance code is requested) and you go down once but then go back up, the stairs will loop again. 
You either have to go down - down - down or up - up - up, the other combinations softlock you ><
I hope it helps, if I find any other I'll report! 

Btw I LOVE the decoding stuff in the game! 
The binary codes are very clever too!

Yes! It's been a long time >\\\< 
Thank you for being there since the beginning, Mori!
(I know it sounds off topic, but there's something for you in the April Fools minigame ssshhh)

Hi Nika! I'm sorry about the issue ;w; 
May I ask for a screenshot of the folder once unzipped? So I can figure out what's going on and find a solution... thank you for your patience ;w;

Oh, I get what the problem is ;w; it's not a CG unfortunately but an animated sequence and it can crash in some occurrences... but you can still move during it, that's why you hear footsteps, it's just that the screen doesn't play the right image. 
I prepared the savefile here! You just need to copypaste it in the save folder: savefile
Let me know if it works!

Hello No C0nnfction! Thank you for playing the game, I'm glad you liked it >\\\<

I don't know how to disable the hp/tp bar that's why it stayed ;w; as for the conversations they start from the very first day, it's one per day + one with an object belonging to the characters except for Gareth (his fourth conversation is the true ending because his object is the sketch). The momento you send Aidan to sleep the game advances to the next conversation for all characters

Let me know if it helps! 

Hi Cocohwi! Is the CG the same of the title screen or the one that occurs after you block the door? 
I've never encountered this issue, I'll try to replicate the error and fix it >_< in the meantime: which gems did you get? I can do a savefile after that section and send it to you

Hi Gumlee! Thank you for playing Koi, I'm happy to hear you liked it TwT
I had something planned out for a scene in the future, hopefully I will manage to add it eheh!

OI Yoonbumm! Estou usando um tradutor, espero que esteja tudo correto! Estou muito feliz que você tenha gostado do jogo, obrigado por jogar! Fico muito feliz que você tenha gostado dos personagens T^T

Moonryyy! Thank you for playing Deep Inside, it's to nice to see a video of yours! I'll watch it asap! As for your question, I'm basically a bookworm, especially regarding classic literature! >w<

I'm sorry for the issue ;w; which program did you use to extract the file? Can I see a screenshot? (so I can understand better and find a solution)

what stops you?  (๑╹ᆺ╹)
(jokes aside, I'm glad you like him and played the game!)

I know you can do it, you're not stupid uwu
It's as Azrhyga said, I hid the rotation number key in the post... good luck!

Just saw the message! Thank you, MefindAli ;\\\\;
It did the same to me, don't worry! The site is just slow, but the vote surely went through!

Hi MimiElen! Thank you so much for your kind words ;\\\\; 
I'm really glad you liked it!

Спасибо Kdzumi! 

Thank you so much Mori!

Grazie mille NicosSpace! >\\\<

Se dovessero restaurarlo allora puoi aggiungerlo a un futuro itinerario xD

Thank you so much Cryptid ;///; I really hope that too! Or that it gets public attention at least

Thank you so much Omgosh! Both for the vote and for the good luck >\\\<
