Sweet if you do, just click on the executable inside the folder. The shortcut doesnt work oof

Thats not my game xD wrong zombie slaughter haha but hey, subscribed.

Lol the highest praise 

i would like to its just been a rough few months over here. Stay subscribed for update posts :)

Thank you will do :D

In the new version you can also turn up the brightness with + key :)

Awesome will watch soon ! I did notice you are playing the old version - just a heads up there are a lot if issues in that one that are not there in the new version. New version also has a more detailed environment

Thanks for the video and thanks for playing! Yeah, its a bit rough right now as an alpha but all the basic mechanics are there. As far as the enemies - 3 axe swings to kill usually. The axe range needs to be a bit farther for sure though. Just tested the blocking mechanic - apparently it is broken:( will fix!

On the power puzzle - I think i need a better message than "press h - j - k keys to connect the wires." All you have to do is press they keys in order, i.e.: press k, press j, press j, press h, press h, press j. (Not actual order) You dont have to look at the connectors or click on anything. You dont have to hold j and press k or anything like that.

Will probably change the handbook to say "Connect wires in proper sequence." Not sure yet, currently working on level two, an abandoned subway. Thanks again and of course, liked and subscribed :)

Hey man thanks so much for playing! Dont forget you can save your game by opening the menu with escape. Secondly, you've got to move backwards and strike the enemies, you must hack at them between their strikes :) 

Appreciate your time, liked and subscribed👍

Let me know what you think if you play it, even if just for personal play :)

And of course, Liked and Subscribed

Thanks for playing! I've been working on fixes and features and just released version V00.3 - it's loads better! Including an all new Maniac Mode :) I recommend deleting the one you have and installing the new one for a much, much better experience.

Check out the devlog here for all the changes: https://eggdog-media.itch.io/escape-the-place/devlog/71180/monster-update-v003-i...

No worries, honest feedback is the most valuable feedback! Certainly is more rough edge than game at this point but this kind of feedback is exactly why I made it available now, before I made a bunch of design decisions lol. 

I do like enter as the action button bevause it discourages fighting and using objects (pickups, doors, etc) at the same time. Still though, I may default it to F key as it seems many people do not like the enter button for interaction. Personal keybinding (and mouse inversion) will also be available in the finished product, though unfortunately not in this alpha version. 

A huge update is dropping soon that includes quite a bit of features and fixes, hope youll give it another chance sometime :) Liked and Subscribed👍

Hey thanks for playing! Your feedback is definitely valuable, quite a few changes are being implemented in V00.3 which will be the final alpha version. Definitely agree the sprint could use a little work, barely ship-able at the moment. 

The boss is already being reworked, there are some scaling issues as well as you probably noticed. It takes roughly 20 shots to kill him but yes, it is possible :) Will watch your video soon when I get home to wifi, but did you find the safe in the second room? Inside resides two clips of ammo and a health pack, which are necessary to defeat the boss.

Also, saving often is recommended. Of course, crashing definitely discourages one to keep playing either way! The issue with crashes on reload I'm still trying to sort, its hard to diagnose because it varies from person to person. On some machines, it rarely crashes - if at all. On others, it seems to crash every time the game is reloaded. I don't expect you to play more, but running in compatibility mode for windows 7 seems to help. 

And yes, definitely too dark. Not for long tho :)

Again thanks for the play and the video! Will check it out as soon as I get home.

Oh no worries, and if you dont want to make a video thats okay, I just need someone to tell me yes or no enemies invisible in new version before i release it tomorrow

Hey man was wondering if you could do some super quick testing for me tonight or tomorrow? Youre the only person with the confirmed invisible enemies bug and though Ive patched it, the solution isnt optimal.

Could you maybe test a couple builds for me later just to see if the enemies are invisible? Would mean alot to me!
