I can confidently say that I have NO IDEA what’s going on in this game, and I loved every moment of it. Pretty sure there’s still way more to find, but I’m taking a break to process what I’ve been through
just finished my "true" ending- wow. just. incredible. transgender !! fuck yeah!
the coda poem is beautiful. one day i would like to revisit this game and find tarot 0 (ive done as i was told by the hints, and simply couldnt find anything)...but for now, im finished. everybody needs to play weird ass ambient itchio horror games. this one is one of the best!
Downloaded both versions about a month ago, and neither will run... they'll get about as far as the loading/logging in screen, make the custom cursor show up, and if I'm lucky they'll get to a black screen afterwards with some ambience(?). But after that? Trying to do pretty much anything, full screen or windowed? Either I'm forced to force quit through task manager because it won't respond, or I'm prompted to close it by Windows because the program isn't responding. No from-game error messages popped up to give me a lead as to why it does this. A real shame, because this game seems so neat! I'd only hope that if I can ever get it running, that it doesn't lag (as many larger or more ambitious Unity games-- even low-poly ones-- do on my weak little old computer... but at least they get past the first screen and attempt to stutter forth).
Attempted to run both versions available to download on a 64bit HP Windows 10 PC that hasn't been optimized as a fancy gaming PC. Neither was playable, I don't know if it's a hardware incompatibility issue or what. Haven't tried the Steam version, got these in a bundle.
I spent a lot of time in this game, and overall felt really unsatisfied at the end. I had to ask a reddit user from a 6 month old thread to get the 'true' ending and it overall was a frustrating, confusing mess. Maybe I just need a 2 hour youtube video essay to 'understand' these deeper concepts. Like walking down a brown corridor for 5 minutes and then a black void for another 3. Other than that, it was a really intriguing game that had some great atmosphere and insanely tense moments. Even though it doesn't really feel like a dead MMO, it's a very captivating experience with an interesting aesthetic. I loved the puzzle solving and boundary breaking during some parts, it felt really rewarding.
I've gone to registry editor and unfortunately Software\OleanderGarden\Pagan3 doesn't exist. I really need the giant beetle to drop the sun card lol. Any advice would be appreciated! <3
Whoops nevermind I found a fix. The issue was that I was using the spear and was inside the beetle when I killed it, then the card would never drop. Killing the beetle at range with the shotgun made the card drop :)
This game has been a really interesting experience. I really do like the feeling of liminal spaces and exploring the worlds of a "dying" game really fills that.
I'm still confused on the events that occur on the game, but currently I've only seen one of the endings.
A really interesting game. Definitely feels like a hidden gem.

personally i think walking around aimlessly has alot of appeal to it i lvoe the atmosphere of this game :-)

How do I reset my save? Where are saves stored? I seem to have uninstalled the game and still have my old save based on the equipment I start with.
Some would say an "inverted" mouse-look is the most pagan control scheme of all..,
