this was so good, loved puzzling it out

this game uses bitsymuse from the bitsy hacks

i think you may be misunderstanding how the auto-detect size feature on itch works: it does not make itch resize the canvas/iframe to match the window size, it just uses the detected game dimensions as the fixed size without you having to enter them manually. this template will make the game's canvas resize to fit any iframe that contains it, but it does not affect how itch resizes those iframes on the game page.

if you have a 1920x1080 game, i'd recommend one of the following:

• replacing the embed with the "click to launch in fullscreen" option. this expands the game's iframe on start, though note that it's not true fullscreen behaviour and the game will be slightly smaller than the monitor size due to things like the address bar still being visible
• replacing the auto-detect size with manually set dimensions, and enabling the "fullscreen button" checkbox. you can use dimensions that match your aspect ratio but are small enough to reasonably fit on the page (e.g. 1280x720), and the fullscreen button gives players an option to enter true fullscreen
• if you have custom CSS enabled, you may be able to create a custom page style that resizes the iframe however you want for different screen sizes

i've updated the "2020.2 and higher" template and the auto-detect setting on itch should now work as expected, lmk if you try the update and still have issues

incredible...

love this

Hey there! I think you may just be confused about how to tend to the plants? It sounds like you're assuming that feeding them more often will make them grow, but you're meant to feed + check on them consistently each day: If you inspect a dead plant and it says "it's soaked through", that means you over-fed it.

Also note that you don't have to use the full blood bar every day to advance time (the game will warn you that you're "not tired" but you can choose to sleep with blood leftover anyway).

loved this, great puzzles and really great finale to the chain!

this rules!!

found the cause of this itch app bug! should be fixed in the latest version (v1.0.14)

it looks like you're using the itch desktop app, i'll look into why it's broken there but in the meantime you should be able to play in your browser (or lmk if it's also not working in your regular browser)

hm that's strange, there was a similar bug awhile back but we fixed it at the time... sorry for the inconvenience!

if you are still interested in playing, you could try following the steps in this old comment and see if it fixes the loop, or share the debug info and i can try investigating the issue further

unfortunately opera gx is lacking support for some basic file types (e.g. mp3s), i'd recommend using chrome or firefox for playing web games

can you provide more info? what browser are you using + any error messages on screen or in the browser console?

• carrying seeds doesn't prevent you from carrying other items
• have you slept before talking to Bertie again?

it's not Cecil

if you're not on windows, have you tried following the command line instructions mentioned in this thread?

one of the characters who pops up occasionally can help with this

a couple hints (in rot13):

• gur sheavgher ner pyhrf
• gur chmmyr vf na vaivfvoyr znmr, ohg gur jnyyf qba'g punatr
• vs lbh zbir bayl juvyr uhttvat gur yrsg jnyy, lbh jvyy nyjnlf znxr vg guebhtu gur znmr

the plants will not grow if you do not water them

You could do this by adding a separate element to the page with your loading text and `position: fixed` CSS, and then removing that element once the game is loaded.

useless

Beans

yessss haha

oooh

woahhhh

This looks like an issue within butler itself, so unfortunately I can't help debug it much. Some things you could try:

• unzip + rezip the files and try uploading again
• rezip the files from the original folder and try uploading again
• rezip the files using a different archive tool (windows has a built-in one, but you could try a third party one like 7zip)

If the issue persists, you'll probably have more luck reporting it via itch support or their github issues.
