Haunted PS1 Demo Disc 2021

The Haunted PS1 · 2021-03-24T20:09:31Z

This topic is for issues you encounter in the Demo Disc, and also any questions you have about the disc. There is also dedicated topics for Comments and Videos so any comments and videos posted in this topic will likely be deleted. If you want to have a longer form discussion about the Disc we suggest starting your own topic. Before you ask any questions here please check it's not already asked and read our FAQ here FAQ: Q: Does this run on an actual Playstation 1? A: No these games are all built on and for modern hardware. The demo disc will be a downloadable game for Windows PC's and not a physical disc. Unfortunately due to the high development and testing requirements of releasing 25 separate executables on windows we also will not be able to release for Mac or Linux. Q: Will there ever be a Physical Release of Demo Disc 2020 or 2021? A: No. While we have received a lot of messages over the last year about people enthusiastic to help us do a physical release of the first demo disc, we have thought long and hard about it and decided that no matter what a physical release would involve money which would inherently conflict with the goals of the HPS1 remaining a free community run for the love of low-fi 3D games. However this year we are looking at providing digital materials for dedicated fans to produce their own DIY physical copies. Q: Are all of the demos for full games? A: While we cannot guarantee all of the games will make it to a full release, they are all currently intended to be full releases eventually. Q: Do all the demos have PS1 inspired graphics and are they all horror games? A: Not Quite. Despite the name the HPS1 is a community where we try to accept all low-fi and retro art directions. As such not every game has to be 3D or have the particular visual quirks of any specific hardware. In a similar way we do not require the games to have a strict horror theme, instead they can be atmospheric, have a slight unnerving twist or even just feel so of the era that we can't resist loving them and wanting them in the collection. Q: Was this a game Jam? A: No, this isn't a game jam, while some of the projects may have been in development for short periods of time, there are also many that are just neat vertical slices of longer term passion projects from members of our community. Q: Who is involved in the creation of the Demo Disc 2021? A: There are at least 44 members of our community involved in the production of the disc and the demos they are all credited in the disc itself and as many as possible are credited in this Twitter thread.

Janitor Bleeds will not open for me. This screen keeps appearing, and no matter what I try, it has not loaded.

𝐌𝐀𝐆𝐏𝐔𝐏𝐏𝐘3 years ago

Same for me on all the games I've tried :/

SylvF3 years ago (1 edit) (+1)

Not a fix, but if you really want to try it (I really liked it) and it doesn't work for you no matter what, they've also got a demo on Steam.

freckledcryptid3 years ago

Thank you! I'll have to check it out.

TM103 years ago

Anything in any of these which would would break Twitch's TOS or is it safe to stream?

Valerie DuskDeveloper3 years ago

These should all be safe to stream. Heed the content warnings in regards to whether the game might be a good fit for your stream or not.

Fiend's Isle crashes whenever I try to get past the controls screen. (I apologize for all my questions!)

iwilliamsDeveloper3 years ago(+1)

I saw one other person with this problem, but I'm not sure what's causing it. Could you let me know what version of Windows you are running? Also you can try the stand alone version here: https://iwilliams.itch.io/fiends-isle-demo

freckledcryptid3 years ago

I have Windows 10 Pro, version 2004. I downloaded the standalone version as well, but it also crashed.

iwilliamsDeveloper3 years ago

If you're willing to help test, I just uploaded a debug version on my itch page that will give you a console that should show the error when it crashes. It would be really helpful if you could grab a screenshot of any errors showing up in that console!
Go to my page and grab: fiends_isle[windows]_v0_6_6_DEBUG.zip

Playing Mummy Sandbox, my camera was stuck in a constant rotation. Thought this was some bizarre intentional game design before I looked up other people playing it, haha. Played with a mouse and not through Freeplay, for context
Lorn's Lure end-level tally screen disappears way too fast to be read.
Not so sure on this one but what triggers the music in The Chameleon? I think I heard maybe two pieces of music in my entire playthrough, and when I watched someone else's vidoe they had stuff playing I never heard.

Hello, when I play the game "Walk", it can't be fullscreen, what should I do?

idiotJPG3 years ago

when i try open it,, it says

Failed to load PlayerSettings (internal index #0).

Most likely data file is corrupted, or built with mismatching

editor and platform support versions.

SylvF3 years ago (1 edit)

Trying to avoid spoilers, so I'll post my problem in a comment below, hopefully help people skip it if they want to go in unspoiled. (Never posted here before, please let me know if spoiler tags work.)

I can't get the secret game that launches off of the computer in the bar to work. It loads, but all I get is a black screen. I can hear my foot steps moving around, but that's it. A friend who's watched a Lets Play of the game told me that that's not what's meant to happen, that I'm supposed to start the game in a lit up room. Am I missing something, or is this a bug?

poopfudge3 years ago

Same thing happened to me. Would really appreciate some help on this one, I'd like to see what's going on in the secret game

AegisOfWorms2 years ago

Adding a 3rd to this. I encountered the same issue when playing.

SylvF2 years ago

I think we've been abandoned on this one, unless an update cleared it up. It'd be nice to know if it's downloadable outside the demo disc itself. Hard to find that out without knowing the name.

CCStudios3 years ago

When will the discord open back up to new members? I know the Twitter said 1-2 weeks but it’s a little over that now.

MoistEggs3 years ago

I downloaded the demo disc and ,though I haven't opened every game yet, the games that I've opened from the opening screen so far seem to work fine. But Walk doesn't seem to open? Every time I try to open the game it gives me the, 'switch to another tab screen' but the game never actually opens. Like I said, the other games that I've tried have given me no issue. I downloaded the demo disc specifically for my interest in walk so Its kind of ironic that its the only game I cant play haha. Have other people had this issue before? and more importantly, is there any way I can fix this? Other then that the disc is great! Very fun and well done!

Stiborge3 years ago (1 edit)

I'm using ps4 controller with usb to try to play the game but the controller has mapped weird on both of the two games I've played. The camera wildly spins to the right because I think the right camera control is mapped weird and all the buttons are a bit off (Square is select, R2 is pause etc). I had similar issues before on some games I bought through steam but I was able to fix that by setting steam to recognize my controller. I checked if I could do the same thing through the itch app and I can't find an option to.

THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILERS

Whenever I try to launch the "video" from the password-locked computer my game transitions to a pure black screen. If I click the wsad keys I can hear my character moving around; I tried looking for an exit that might trigger a loading sequence and restore the visuals, but no dice.. If anybody could help me fix this problem, I'd greatly appreciate it.

SerialPillock3 years ago

Same problem as a few others, Walk launches as a small window sadly and alt+enter or F11 don't work sadly :(

لᴏsesɪƖƖᴏ3 years ago

Hi, how are you??? I have a problem installing the "demo disk", but every time I get a message that says "the version of this file is not compatible with the version of Windows you are running. Check your computer's system information to see if you need a x86 32-bit or x64 64-bit version of the program and then contact the vendor " Please if you could help me I would really appreciate it as I really want to be able to play these great demos.

CCStudios2 years ago

it means that you don’t have the right architecture to run it. You’re probably on an older system that is x86.

لᴏsesɪƖƖᴏ2 years ago

Ahhh ok

 thank you very much for answering

 Greetings.

Cheers

Nico

Why was this Game is Built 4GB whyy i just want to an demo of toree 3D :(

tungsten2 years ago (1 edit)

Protagoras Bleeds looked very cool and when I went to download the application to play the game, the game showed the launch screen, but then put me back in the hallway with the soda machine.

adamdschneider2 years ago

Has anybody actually had an issue fixed in here? Anyway, I launched Walk and like the others I can't make it go full screen, but worse than that I can't get the menu to respond to any input at all. WSAD, Arrow keys, numpad, mouse, nothing works except the Enter key which makes me exit because Exit is highlighted by default. Wish this was available in some form outside of the demo disc launcher.

Sheep Cannon2 years ago

It’s been brought up before but Walk does not launch in full screen and neither F11 nor alt+enter seem to work. Has there been a fix to this yet?

I tried playing with a PS5 controller and there doesn’t seem to be a way to crouch. I tried clicking in the left stick like it says on the control page but nothing happens.

BrunkDutt2 years ago (1 edit) (+1)

I launched the game and no sound is playing. So i reinstalled it, and there's still no sound in the menu or any of the games.

MasterBruce5561 year ago

Exactly my issue. It's a shame that the creators aren't addressing it.

MuggleAkko2 years ago

I wonder these amazing demos are made by which game engine, for I really want to make my game like these,. That s so coool!

CookingWithJack2 years ago(+1)(-2)

hello, these are made in Microsoft Excel ™... thank you for playing

indigo_2061 year ago

anyway to invert the y axis?

MasterBruce5561 year ago

Whenever I start the game, there is no audio. My speakers work fine and the max volume for the game is set to max.

MusicaSenpai1 year ago (1 edit)

Whenever I go into a game's room and interact with the object so the actual game launches, nothing happens. (For example, I go into the "Walk" game room, and interact with the vending machine by pressing "E", nothing happens), the games aren't launching, same thing happens with all the other games/demos. Any help with this?

Same

My download keeps cancelling and saying "forbidden" do i have to do something?

Coochieman20221 year ago

What do I do?

It just says fatal error

WindowWatcher1 year ago

Hello. I have a problem with the game. Everything was fine before, but after reinstalling Windows, the games simply stopped running. That is, the launcher starts up but the games inside the museum do not work. I go up, press E and nothing.

deven-ald1 year ago

Does the demo disk work on things like a retro pie emulator?

enigmatifox256 days ago

possibly an issue on my end but downloading the game says it is forbidden and cant be run

Tallyho friends! I'm in the process of creating my own physical versions of these wonderful discs, and on the site it's claimed the 2021 disc size is around 4 GB. When downloaded it's 5,13GB (not unpacked). Is there a way to fit this onto a DVD-r or is this just too big? Can I perhaps split it up onto two discs somehow? Thanks!

Edit: I ended up splitting the zip file into two archives (which is surprisingly easy to do with the command line :o)!

ProfessionalAttackEnby18 days ago

I'm having trouble downloading the demo disc. The download repeatedly fails and won't start up again. I'm using firefox on windows 11
