unfortunately it wasn't our decision and it was up to our publishers :( ill check with them if we can get the steam page updated

this is a sort of remake / sequel / brand new commercial game based on the original

try capturing all the flags :)

I can't believe i missed this crucial feature for this minesweeper simulator... everything else in the game is actually set dressing for the core experience of playing minesweeper, so i am devastated to learn i couldn't even manage that 😭

thank you!

maybe im a gamer loser but this was super tough!! i feel like you stopped giving health pickups suddenly and so i had to cheese the enemy AI to beat it. the fact that when you die you restart from the beginning and can't skip the dialogue again made me too careful. add some more health pickups or make the shooter guys less precise :) great game though!! i had a lot of fun, the style is really nice and the sound design is excellent. filled out the feedback form!! excited to play more of it B-)

the new one is a completely new commercial game inspired by this one, the demo which is out now and linked above on the new page, is 1 and a half hours long.

hey! thank you for checking out the demo :) i understand you concern! we want to write a nuanced story, and while we are still leaving things up to interpretation, we are writing a story primarily about a relationship, with themes of grief. we don't plan to write a story that's about a husband abusing his wife.

where did you run into this? I don't know what I'm looking at :-)

all comments above this one are about the new game!

all comments below this one are for no players online classic :)

if you're looking for the comments they're all over on the new page! i swapped out the pages hehe. :-)

you're totally right haha, for some reason I didn't realise that that doesn't make any sense up until you mentioned it! i guess an automated phone menu also didn't exist in the 60s, so i will chalk it up to artistic freedom haha

turn on your audio! it's ambient sounds (cafe ambience, fireplace ambience, rain ambience, no ambience)

hey!! thank you so much for checking out and playing both collections, that's really a lot of dedication! i'm sorry to hear you were dissapointed with the ending games in the extra branch. I can clarify the intention there a bit if that helps: I don't think the intention was that the endings on the extra branch were supposed to be the "true endings", it's more of an extra timeline as a reward for playing the other games. also, these games were the only ones made with full context of all the other games, so hence they're all a bit more meta. any ending in any branch could be considered the "true" ending if you think about it. I'm sorry if you feel like everything was building up to those last games and it didn't deliver! Thanks for playing :)

Hey! I'll look into that, thanks for reporting! And sure, go ahead, just credit me somewhere with a link to the game :)

i'll upload it very soon! stay posted!

soon! my apologies for the delay

it is.... a tale as old as time.....

Dear S.H.G.

Thank you so much for your kind letter.
It was a delight to hear my program has granted you much virtue.
I hope to make time soon to address the issue!

I wish you all the best,
Adam

hey! that's a really good point, we have to keep the launcher active so that it can listen for when the player is done with the game. but i didn't think about the impact it had! thanks very much for the feedback :)

i got stuck in winter... this is a deep reflection on my general sentiment on the season. great game but maybe i'm too soft for this kitten experience

not an issue, an old save file is probably still on your PC. try pressing up up down down left right left right b a enter on the server screen.

proof that my version is better than the real thing

use lowercase L :)

haha omg no way, say hello to little mobius for me!!

it's a similar format, but there's no overarching storyline or anything so you can go into this one without having played CHAIN :)

try the download version! it should be more stable :)

it does between games!!

Ah, thank you that's very kind!! I'll think on it :)

I've been thinking, if I ever have the time to come back to this project, I would add a "text mode". Less typewriter-y, but more text editor. Could be nice in-case you want to use it for vibes. Especially for writing little novels it would be cute! Thanks for the kind review :)

well put colter!!!

A project of this scale with this many people that is monetised is insane, and borderline not feasible...

i know what you're saying, and you're not wrong with the points you make but; to make a project like this feasible, let alone *fun* to make, you need to give individual devs some liberty. i tried my best to strain away from too much direction and let things develop naturally, a lot of people in the wyoming branch did focus on doing more narrative stuff, but I think that's the magic of a project / experiment like this. as the organiser for the project, every small bit of constraint you add makes for a lot more opportunities where things can fall apart. this was already a lot of work, i can't imagine the amount of work it would be to also *direct* every single game.

what i'm saying is, it's already a miracle this even worked out as flawlessly as it did. managing more than 50 devs to make a thing like this happen is hard!! quite simply, the project you are describing is not possible as a free collaboration, that would be a full-time job for multiple people, would not be as fun to make for the devs, and would most certainly not be free :-)

does it show an error?

yes it's really annoying, i will ask the developer to get it fixed. normally you can just ignore the steamvr popup and open the game window from the taskbar

hey! i will be pushing an update soon with the missing tvs

thank you so much :)) i'm glad you got to experience a rollercoaster (car-coaster?) of emotions!

yess great to hear! thank you for checking!!

Hey there, there's been some reports of this. I'm trying to work on a fix, but it's hard to get to the root of the issue as it only happens to a couple of people.

Pressing the Play button doesn't do anything?
