Hi, Avior, thanks for your feedback.

The question mark issue is really interesting. I did test the game on a windows laptop before releasing, although I suppose it's . Although, now I think back, I do seem to recall that windows used to come up with an error message if you tried to save a document with a punctuation mark in it.

I've just change that particular file name (it's one piece of music that plays at two different points in the game), and I've re-uploaded the game to Itch, so that should hopefully have solve those error messages.

The itch app issue is far more concerning. I have no idea what the issue may be. I'll try reaching out to the Itch.io team to see if they'll be able to help figure out the problem.

Anyway, thanks very much for playing. As for the lead in regarding the endings, (Mild spoilers from here on) I wanted to make the player feel like they were in control of their actions, give them hope that a happy ending was on the way, and then pull the rug out from under them. As much as it's frustrating to the player, that's ultimately the message the game is trying to give: Sometimes, no matter how hard you try, there's just no way of saving yourself.

Okay, here's an alternative link for you to try. The moment I get a notification that the file's been downloaded, I'll delete the link, so let me know if it works :)

Hope you enjoy the game! Be sure to give me a yes on Steam Greenlight, share it with your friends etc, if you do :)

Hi, sorry for the slow reply.

Can I get some more information about the problem? Which operating system are you trying to run the game on? Is the file downloading properly? Are you getting any error messages come up when you try to open the file?

Let me know what's going on, and I'll do my best to help! :)

Here's a short horror game you can complete in under an hour. As my game takes a fairly unique spin on the horror genre, I think it would be of some interest to your viewers. Oh, and it's also totally free to play as well.

Hi guys,

So, after about 6 months of work, my secret passion project is nearly complete. The final version of the game is coming in October, but for now, I've released a short demo version to check out what people think.

Angel In The Dark is a short game, with the demo taking roughly 20-30 minutes to play. It's a horror visual novel, with (hopefully) a fairly unique hook. The entire game is set in pitch blackness, so you can't see anything at all. Instead you have to rely on your ears, and the text on screen, as you try to make it out of a very dire situation.

The final version will be twice as long as this version, and feature 4 different endings. If you'd like, feel free to give it a try. I'm looking for as much feedback as possible before I release the final version.

Thanks.
