The last log file will be where the previous log file hints towards. Go explore the Industrial map and see if you can find something suspicious hidden there!

Oh snap, I'll be sure to patch that next update, LOL. But I'm very glad to hear you enjoyed it though!

When the jam ends, I'm for sure gonna try and update the game with some QoL improvements, slight nerfs and fixes for sure. Will definitely add that crosshair.

But that is super strange to hear your GPU was behaving the way it was with the game tho, hadn't heard anyone run into that issue before! ;w;

The Exponential Fog component has a "Volumetric Fog" setting when you scroll down. Toggle that bad boy on, mess with some values and color and bam, fog looks groovy. (This is for UE4 of course. Don't know what it's like with other engines)

Try disabling your internet before launching the game (I believe you can turn it back on a little after launching it and it shouldn't crash). It sometimes happens to users due to a compatibility issue with certain hardware and the version of Unreal Engine this game was built on. Sorry about that! Hopefully that fix works for ya.

I don't know what that is, but I'd imagine no? The game should run fine without any sort of "patch"

Lot of us developers gotta do our best to make a living off our work. There are lots of other free games in my catalogue you can download, but some games such as this help fund future games and living expenses!

Frames can drop for a variety of reasons. Your OS doesn't have to do with how it performs. The type of GPU, CPU and ram you have is what you need to look at. Be sure to read the system requirements on the game page's description.

If you do indeed have a strong enough computer to run the game and it's running at 5 FPS, I'm not quite sure what would be causing that, I'm afraid. Sorry!

Ahh okay. Yeah most of my paid games and Patreon games will remain where they are, but there will be a few exceptions in the future when I feel like it'd be good to bring it over to Steam.

I'm definitely considering doing an "Ultimate Edition" of Doomy in the Roomy to release onto Steam. As for Prototype One, due to how short it is I may leave it as a Patron exclusive. But a sequel for Steam would be fun to do some day!

Yeah, it shouldn't matter what difficulty you're on!

It is a little cryptic, but the clues are there. Have the Moonstone skin active, go to the Cosmic Research level and find something that stands out to you and interact with it. After this point, the logs should start appearing around each map!

Try disconnecting from your Internet before launching the game and it should prevent the crashing from happening. It's a problem with older versions of Unreal Engine conflicting with certain newer hardware. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Unzip the .rar folder using WinRAR or 7zip, then just open the folder, open the application and play!

Try disabling your internet before launching the game. It's a known issue with older versions of Unreal Engine games having compatibility issues with certain newer GPUs.

It shouldn't be downloading a video. Is it your web browser? Downloading the game should install a .rar file of the game. You'll then need Winrar or 7zip to extract the .rar folder to be able to open the folder and play.

Super cute and I absolutely loved playing through it!

Yeah, I'm sure if you do the same with the other games you got in the easter bundle, you should be able to access them that way. With Patreon it's different. If you subscribe to Patreon, you'll have to save those drive links to the games after you unsubscribe if you want to keep them forever.

Looked some information up and this is what I found, "This page (the game's download page) has a unique URL for your purchase. You can always re-download the latest files from this page. You should have also received an email with a link to this page. If you ever lose the URL for this page you can request it to be emailed to you from the support page." I believe this could work if you bought the game without an account, since you likely used an email address during the purchase process.

What does the error message say?

Click the download button, extract the game's .rar folder using Winrar or 7Zip, open the folder and play.

Hit the download button and it'll download the game. Then use an unzipping program such as Winrar or 7zip to unzip the .rar folder. You should then be able to open up the game folder and play.

It's an issue with older versions of Unreal Engine having compatibility issues with newer hardware. The quickest and easiest solution is to disable your internet before launching the game. I believe someone in the comments posted a more permanent solution, though I've never tested it before.

I've considered the idea in the past. I may release it some day to the public, but we shall see!

Unfortunately that seems to just be an issue with the game handling certain square like resolutions. The only real fix would be to play in windowed mode I believe or manually changing the PC's display resolution. Really sorry about this! Lot of my older games had these sort of problems.

That's odd? If you beat the final level then you should be able to click on the final level from the map screen, click play, and it should open the menu that shows all four playable sections from the level.

My games are only developed for Windows PCs, unfortunately they're incompatible with Chromebooks as far as I'm aware. They are downloadable only and will require an unzipping program such as Winrar or 7zip to unzip the .rar folder to play.

What's your screen resolution? I know the game sometimes has issues with screens that are square shaped.

The crashing may be due to the game being built in UE4 4.19 and having compatibility issues with newer graphics cards. I would suggest disabling your internet before launching the game, then it should run smoothly from there!

Oh dang, that's very odd. When you would click newgame, would nothing happen and the continue button would take you to the map screen but nothing there would work, correct? Or was it the game just wasn't working or crashing? I can only suggest uninstalling and reinstalling the game and if that doesn't work, I'm not quite sure what else could be causing your issue besides a corrupted save file. I'm so sorry I can't be of much help!

Ah that sounds like your save file got corrupted. Go to Appdata\Local\AtC_BB\Saved\SaveGames folder and delete the .sav file. Next time you boot up the game, it should create a fresh save file and solve the issue. If you don't know how to get to your appdata folder, type %appdata% in your search bar and it should pop it up.

It's something I whipped up for the game. You can listen to it over on my Soundcloud! https://soundcloud.com/dave-microwaves-music/a-dramatic-encounter

The 32bit version should be available on Gamejolt. Just click the triple dot next to the download and you'll see it there!

I believe the song is called Sponge Monger

A really spooky shorty experience that had me craving more by the end of it. The presentation, the lighting, everything was so *chefs kiss*

It may be a problem due to this game using an older version of Unreal Engine and having compatibility issues with certain newer graphics cards. Try disconnecting from your internet before launching the game, since that seems to fix the issue for most folks. Hopefully this helps!

You need Winrar or 7Zip to be able to unzip the .rar folder.

Of course!

Around the Clock should already work on Windows 11. The co-developer and a few other players have reported it works on their Windows 11 PCs. If you're running into any sort of issue, it may be unrelated to the OS. Please send any error messages or detailed information as to what's happening and I may be able to help!
