The HostageA downloadable sinister situation for Windows, macOS, and Linux
Please use this page to report any bugs or general issues that you come across :3 I'll try to fix them as soon as possible if I can! For help with opening the game on Mac, please take a look at this post here :3
There are a few things I'm already aware of:
- In the non-potato versions, trying to use the skip function OR skipping through text fast manually often causes the video sprites to freeze, disappear, or freezes the text advance >.< I have no idea why this happens :(
BUT, you can fix it yourself in-game by rewinding the text by 1 line.
So if it freezes and you can't continue, just press the left arrow key, or your mouse scroll wheel up to rewind 1 line of text, and it should let you keep going!
To prevent it from happening in the first place, either play the game on auto mode, or be patient and allow the text to finish revealing on its own before clicking to continue :3 - or just save yourself the hassle and download a potato version because skipping text should be fine in all potato versions!
- The initial startup of the game can be quite slow for potato PC's. On our family potato laptop, regardless of the version downloaded, it can take between 30 seconds and 1 minute + 30 seconds to actually launch the game after clicking the exe >.<" The same thing applies for entering & exiting the extras section in the director's cut version where another long loading time can be encountered on potatoes.
