I'm having issues getting the game to run properly on Windows, the game starts up and the audio plays but the screen is black. The music changes when I click on the center of the screen so I assume I clicked on the start button but I still get a black screen. Can someone help?
UPDATE: I found a fix for the issue, the problem was that my gpu was too old for the version of vulkan it was trying to use and the fix was creating a shortcut for Neural Rot.exe (or console version) and adding --rendering-driver opengl3 at the end of the target.
The game's aesthetics are amazing and I love the celestial sounding music/sound design from the videos I saw, plus the mechanics would be really interesting to play around with as an Endoparasitic fan
this feels like endoparasitic- honestly if you did take your inspiration from there, you chose a good source- and this is a very good take on that type of game.
besides nearly causing me several heart attacks, i loved it!!
Holy hell this was such a fun play! The controls take some getting used to, but once you do it ends up being really entertaining. Cool game, would play again 👍️
Reading through the description, I was like "Hey, that sounds just like that one game where you only have an arm!" Then I noticed the previews. Then I noticed I was already following you lol. Looking forward to playing this!
LOVED it! The art, the audio, the gameplay - all top notch! The reloading mechanic is excellent, and super satisfying. My only issue was my hands were really starting to cramp up during my gameplay. Not sure if there's an easy solution to that without butchering the whole walking mechanic, though. Maybe I'm just getting old... Haha. 9/10!
cool game. love how you're also infected with the rot, but it hasn't fully taken over yet which lets you still use some functions of your body but you can't really walk normally. all in all pretty good
The decorations and the whole setting are so vibrant and high in contrast, I love it. The game communicates the idea that rotting away means turning into other forms of life, and it does so really well. Looks like it takes awesome inspiration from Hotline Miami.
Shiny graphics and catchy audio, cool and relatable^ characters, solid level design. The aiming by taking tiny steps back for more precise movement is really fun, shooting the enemies feels rewarding, and the reloading is really pleasing.
The enemies themselves are both smart and dumb enough for game jam game enemies, and I’m sure you’re already planning to make them more interesting in further versions.
But! I found the current walking controls a total nightmare, confusing and frustrating, and an option to remap the keys would certainly make life easier for some players.
Also I encountered a weird glitch with the text notes: the background of the area where the text should be was sort of transparent and glitched out, so the text on them was mostly unreadable. macOS Ventura, Intel CPU. That’s what I get for not switching to Linux, I guess.
Overall, thank you for this amazing piece of art, really looking forward to playing further versions of the game.

it looks nice and I like how its difficulty with controls I experience. Possibly it does inspiration like endoparasitic and some other's are tough
Really cool! I'm a fan of both devs already so seeing you two collab was exciting to see. Keep it up :]

Finally, a game showing the dangers of excessive Twitter and TikTok use. Thank you for broadcasting this.
