Windows build very helpful! Thanks for getting it working! Liked the bold menu design with unexpected buttons ("FLEE" indeed!).... Definitely the right time of year for this creepy game.

Submitted(+1)

Oh, man! Like music and that creepy light thing. Definetely want something like steam audio support for sound raytracing-ish, it can help to figure out where sound is vertically.

Unfortunately I couldn’t get it running. I lack AVX instructions on my laptop and lack a sound device on attempting to use a remote device :(

I get the following error when I run the AppImage on Ubuntu 20.04:

You can install `libopengl0` for it to work. I'll probably relink it into old-school libGL.

Thank you, that did the trick! This game is challenging. The best score I could get was 10 before something snuck up on me while I was shooting something else or I narrowly missed a shot. The flashlight effect is cool and so is the particle effect when you shoot.

Developer

Yeah, I think I could have done it less hardcore. My max score is 31, and it's probably because i've got lucky :D

Never walk backwards! You're likely to be eaten by a grue.

Wow, that is addictive.

Excellent music, the controls are super responsive and the aesthetic is really coherent.

Great job.

Oh man,  how cool. I had a similar idea with light and light cones but it was way to late for me to start ... Will study your code. Congrats on finishing!!!

I can't run the precompiled binary nor the appimage nor quickloading from source. Same error on all:

fatal error encountered in SBCL pid 522156 tid 522170:
Unhandled SIGILL at 0x7f77aa185a20.

ldb backtrace shows

Does your CPU support AVX instructions? SIGILL is often thrown when unsupported CPU instruction reached.

(+1)

Nope. It's an old laptop (Intel 4415U). Mystery solved then :D

Very eerie! Love the atmosphere, nothing like turning around and seeing a swarm of creatures emerging from the dark.

Win10 build came in a couple minutes late, but if you feel like checking it out anyway, here is the link: https://github.com/borodust/notalone-thriced/releases/download/v1.0.0/notalone-t...

Developer

Some might see a black screen while music is playing upon game start with this win build. I found what's the issue was. I'll post a link to fixed build a bit later.
