I'm always very grateful to read that people could connect with the game and it's themes so thank you so much for your comment! I'm not planning to do any translation to other languages because I've spend enough time working on this game already. Would have to be done by someone other than me but I'm not ready to hand it over to somebody else yet either. Maybe sometime in the future. But I feel honored by your offer, thank you! Feel free to drop the link to your playthrough on YouTube!

What you experienced is not an issue or a bug, the game changes with your decisions. (As stated in the beginning.) That includes where you go first when starting the game. So there are areas you won't be able to visit at all in your first playthrough. Might be confusing at first but for one thing I wanted to increase the replayability and second I thought it was interesting if everyone had a slightly different experience with this game. 

Thank you so much for your kind words, it always means a lot if people let me know they enjoyed it. Will check out the streams as well! 

It means a lot to me that you took the time to write this comment. Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the game and that people are still enjoying rpg maker games in general even after all these years. Gonna check out the video as well. 
Thanks again! 

You're welcome. :-) 

Well okay... no idea what happened in your playthrough but I had no issues saving in the cafe. 
Anyway, this is your save file inside the cafe after the sequence with Ivie. https://cherryshare.at/f/gKPuEp 
I'm gonna take the link down once you have it.
I did find another issue though that is fixed in the latest version but still present in yours.
There is one last save room in a big area (if you played all the way to the wire room you'll know which one)
and if you enter it from a specific spot in a dark hallway, it won't let you save your game even if you light
the candle. Maybe that happened to you? If it does, try to enter the save room from a different spot (just one step below or 
from the opposite hallway) and you should be able to save again. As I said, it should be fixed in the new version.
I hope you'll enjoy that last part of the game!

Hey, you are not the first one to experience that issue unfortunately. I think I'm going to put a few safety switches in there that hopefully prevent that from happening. In order for you to continue I need you to upload your save file though and send me the download link because I have to fix that manually. (cherryshare.at for example) After that I'm gonna send it back to you and hopefully you'll be able to play to the end without further issues. (Crazy you made it that far without saving! :D) 
Sorry for the inconvenience! 

Thank you so much for your kind words! :-) 
This is a one person team so everything is done by me.
I used a few graphics from other rpg maker devs who were okay
with me using them but mapping, all the backgrounds, charsets,
lightmaps and stuff are all done by me. Glad you enjoyed it! 

Thank you so much! In a way I'm actually happy that I managed to make you emotional with my story. To be fair - the bonus room is quite difficult to find, maybe I should have placed it somewhere at the beginning. Let's say you can find it in the second half of the game and it's a door that was there before but couldn't be opened. It's nothing absolutely crazy in there though, just a tiny reward for those wo decided to play the game again. 

Thank you for your patience! So even though I do get why this happened to you, I still have
no idea how this happened in the first place. Seems like the RPG-Maker still has a mind of it's own or I'm just missing something.
Might have to check that again eventually. But anyway, I've used your savefile to get past this issue and saved after the
sequence in the cafe. So if you want you can continue with this one right here:

(Will delete this once you have it.) Sorry for the inconvenience and I hope you have enjoyed the game so far! 

Hey sunlauncher,
I've never heard of that issue before and it sounds rather random to me.
(Doesn't mean it's not true, had a lot of weird bugs during beta testing.)
I could take a look at your latest save file if you're willing to upload it
and share the link. (cherryshare.at for example)

Thank you for the feedback though it is rather unfortunate. 
I've "packed" the entire game folder into the game.exe using "Enigma Virtual Box" so random
people wouldn't be able to edit the game itself so easily (which happened before sadly).
But that seems to cause some issues with said anti virus programs.
Yea, I'm not happy about this either.

If you have access to the room with the writing on the wall and the "don't let ..."-note, you should have a crowbar already which means you're not doing anything wrong or are missing something. You just went a different path. (So you're technically in section 2 now.) There is no "standard" way to play the game, it's changing by your choices, where you go etc. So you can't see everything in just one playthrough. I guess next you'll have some puzzle work to do. I hope I was able to clear things up for you a little bit. :-) 

I can't really tell you since I don't know what you did so far. Are you sure you've read the right note? (There are 2 readable sheets of paper in said office and there is pretty much no way to miss the cutscene.) If it doesn't work, you could also start a new game and (*spoilers*) head straight to the cellar to bypass that area from before.

Thank you! 

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! :-) 

Thank you so much for your feedback! I really appreciate it. :-) 

Well that's annoying. This seems to happen rather randomly to a few people, I thought that I caught all the possible error sources. I'm sorry you had to experience that. I've fixed it and updated the download link. So if you download the new version you can use your savegames from the previous one to continue. Let me know if you run into any other errors. Sorry for the inconvenience! 

Thank you so much Riggy. <3

How long it takes to complete the game you mean? About 4 hours.

Thank you! I hope you'll have a good time playing it! :-)
