itch.io

i just noticed something. if Mama's hair is ebony, and Ahlf's hair is chestnut brown, how do we have the options to have naturally golden or auburn hair? probably a dumb question but i need the closure

okay just died but wait this is actually really cool. love MeowCentral. the checkered backgrounds too. goddamn i love details
also i am so dumb i just realized that IDCChat is internet detective club chat hhhhhhh

error on chapter 4

Error: <<them>>: error within widget code (Error: <<print>>: bad evaluation: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'random'))

crying because my saves are gone. heart beating faster cause i rember i exported my saves?! oh shart nevermind crying again.
i was immediately hit by the emotions of: ayo new RO?!?! and damm that sidebar 🤤 sadly missed the joy of chapter 4 release from the rookie mistake of not following you
i shall romance irus again... or not... Also on my first play i was *kinda* expecting Irus to be some spoiled brat or smthn. it was such a delight that i was wrong (i would've dated him either way tho ngl)

plssss i thought this disappeared forever i really sobbed for a minute while my sister watched me 😭 thank god i followed someone who added this to their collection

so... started reading it again, impatient mode off.

this is going to be VERY long. honestly it's making my laptop lag already.

i've noticed this.. when E.K. goes berserk on the windows. it says "we hear him go berserk". so yeah i suppose that's like the dream/flashback combo you're talking about. whenever i reach the car "what's in there?" part, and it says *you are*, i'm kinda weirded out. like, why are we... in our dad's car. or whoever's car it is. honestly, on the italic parts i'm confused on whose perspective it's on. but i always think the "you are" refers to a corpse, maybe.

anyways, choice part. it maybe seems that we're E.K. when choosing? not sure if it matters, so i just choose to scoff. it says "we are on another side of the room". we again. and it says "both".

Ohhkayyyy..... yeah, something's going on here. so we're a ghost, or at least like, invisible?

SCOTT (seeing straight through you). yeah, i feel like they're talking about us now. so we are in the car maybe, and idk what it means when Scott is seeing straight through us...

Next part.

Orange. The same color that said "you are". yeah i know, impatient mode was replaced with hyper focused mode.

so this is OUR lighthouse. "we wanted to put a light in the sky, so we did. and among the stars our creation waited for night and wept." for some reason, this kinda reminded me of like... a god? sorry, i'm an agnostic non-religious Christian, who learns about God in school, and has to read the bible everyday. it's kinda weird though, like wtf the lighthouse wept? maybe the lighthouse's light were its tears? interesting.

computer. cylindrical glass cage. i have no idea what that looks like. "it is probably your favorite place you've ever been", so like i got a little wonky here. like "ayo the computer is a place?!", but then i remembered that they're talking about the beacon room. either way is still possible, i think.

so, the beacon room makes me feel sucky. and we're isolated. like our father just left us here? ...but considering how they didn't see us, we could just be a sad, wandering ghost left to stay in this lighthouse forever. OR, maybe this is before E.K. goin berserk. and even more OR, we're alive and i'm stupid. the dream/flashback part was a weird one though... like how did they hear me scoff if it's just that?

anyways, i still don't know what E.K. went berserk on. okay, dad has a fear of heights/falling. sooo we have art, cool.

Oh, um. okay, dad's a corpse... yayyyyy.... or maybe this is just because he always looks dead when he's sleeping.

alright we see Scott's computer screen. or just screen.

So we got a security cam. A conversation between someone called Care, and Michael.

Espion Client. Screen of Jacob Wayer. so... Scott is spying on Jacob Wayer's laptop?

Espion Client.
Jacob Wayer. Laptop. 2911:785596
then we got Wren Wayer, also on a laptop.
Then Jacob again, but a cell this time.
then Wren, cell.
then... Virc..???? Virc or whatever. Cell. 3014: something something.
So the Wayers' numbers both start with 2911, maybe it's like a location thing? or they just use the same device. but it's a bit weird, like how would they know if it's Wren or Jacob?
Then Elise something -ley. Cell. 9840: something something.

I don't care if none of these matter!! I love acting like I'm actually finding things out!!

okay, screen of Jacob Wayer's laptop.

searching about disappearances? unsolved missing persons cases in CT 1? or something like that.

JUDE MEDINA - last seen November 23, 2018.

then idk anymore... "i'm just saying accidents like that can happen when ..."

a thread about... Conspiracies? possible. THIS THREAD HAS BEEN SHUT DOWN FOR MALWARE. oh um okay.

also, interesting how we call Scott, Scott, and not dad or father or any parent label.

okay, due to my *amazing* skills... I... copy-pasted whatever was blocked by text. i'm sorry, and i know, i know, i'm a disgrace :(

You mind if I take some of that, actually?

She takes the glass and drinks.

How is it?

CARE
You haven't tried it yourself?

MICHAEL
No reason to.

CARE
It's pretty good. What's it for?

MICHAEL
Jude.
Mentioned, Jude shifts slightly in his sleep.

Fuck, that's tomorrow?

In response, it freezes for a moment. (it??)

Yes.

She steps back over Ty and climbs back onto the couch with Sara, taking a moment to settle in.

Goodnight, Care.

Night.

...yes... the possibly useless information... i can feel it coursing through my veins...

yup, as i see now, Scott very much hates murder.

anyways i'm stopping here because... yeah i have other stuff i need to do 🤡

i am now ✨ gone ✨

disappears when walking into north wall. on web version btw

cool!! (also how the heel does a lighthouse have a prison) i'll reply again once i finish reading. honestly i'm really running out of free time, since i have school and homework... and uh, game communities to tend to. but i definitely will try harder to stop impatient reader mode from coming up again!

yo thanks!! honestly, our school project is very beginner. my school doesn't do game stuff so yeah. it doesn't really need code but sometime in the future we might actually switch to something else? thanks for the offer anyway :)))))))))))))) i too, love fake webs!!! for me it's kinda hard to find games that have that. Hypnospace Outlaw is a nice example though, if you haven't heard/played that yet. not free thooo

bbuttttt for my first question,,, what was that first part? like the "does any of this really matter to you" part... after that i went to impatient reader mode lol.. i def got really confused on the next parts. what i think is: you're like... in prison? honestly idk. there's a lighthouse? the character is coding and is very confused and sad? something about a dad? something about murder???? i'm very confused. but yeah, just a reminder, it's not ur fault. i take all of the blame of being confused. and also who are we playing as? are these people even our friends? i am totally gone... fades out of existence

permission to use some of the music from your album for my school project? i'll credit you of course, and i don't mind if you're not fine with me using it :) it sounds really nice btw. i listen to it like it's a youtube studying playlist.

Anyways, this game (more like story lol) is well-written and well organized (sorry for all of the "well"s). By well organized, I literally mean how the text is placed. How the websites seem like... websites, and not just text. The overlapping of text too...
And the writing. I almost feel like I'm the main character. And it's easy to understand. Sometimes I need to pull up a dictionary when I'm reading. Here, it's just... you read straight through. No alt+tabbing to search "def prose" or looking to see what color a zircon is. At least that's my experience.
..Not gonna lie here, I am pretty confused about what's happening. Doesn't mean I'm not allowed to appreciate the core aspects, though. (aside from story and lore... 😬)

And that's probably because I'm an impatient reader. Took a couple of attempts to almost actually read the entire thing. Worth it, because I found out some things. Still skimmed though... I really need to work on that.

okay, life goal: read this entire thing patiently and don't skip.

OH GOD THE FAVORITISM, IT HITS TOO CLOSE. WAY TOO CLOSE

deflects with funny

bBEAUTIFUL.......
also i spent a lot of time trying to find the seeds. maybe i'm just stupid, but maybe some guide arrows would be appreciated 😭
aand the little crop thingies following you around are SO DAMNC UTE
but... they eat your plants. the stupid carrots following me around ate the carrots i was trying to grow. this is cannibalism.

anyways, Ozera is very very very cozy. This is a very very very very fun and very very very very very very very very wholesome farming game. Main character conveniently wakes up next to a nice, simple small house.

11/10 died of a heart attack very nice island. would come again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

why am i crying. i didn't even write a letter. all i did was say I love you to the past self in my subconscious.

didn't mean to sound emo there. anyways, it felt as if i was talking to a real person. the "uh" and the personal opinion made it sound realer. but after all, c_cile is simply another version of you. honestly, in games like these, i forget what the person said. i forget the meaning. completely. but it still affects me. thank you, cecile.

looks good so far! ui is nice! it looks kinda weird in the dark theme, but it still works. the bold cursive in white is a little... chunky. anyways, as MisterProject said, there's way too many commas.

for example (this is literally a copy paste. play the prologue.):
"Henry took advantage of the fact that the security guards were still a fair distance away from his location to check out his surroundings, the walls had been painted a vibrant shade of dark blue that matched the gold accents like in the ceiling lights with their geometric and zigzag shapes that were the tendency of that age, due to the Art Deco style of decoration, green details, and dark wood flooring in a herringbone pattern, the furniture, paintings, and objects must surely have gone through a painstaking reconstruction before being displayed, but it had certainly been a formidable job considering the result before his eyes."

that's a lot. may not seem like it, but that's a lot. my brain short circuited, no offense.

ooh thanks!! i might download this game again in a month. there's a lot of stories in this game i haven't seen yet. i was scared of the sewers because i thought random people might come to beat me up, and walking through the apartments were kinda scary because it looked... a little abandoned, so i would always rush home and scream when i accidentally hit a wall. i never went to other places either. So yeah, I guess I was scared of this game. All good though 💕

thanks! also, you don't need to rush. game jam struggles and all :D
well actually, yeah if it is in a game jam you do need to rush. but you're no longer weighed by the game jam!! go crazy! i shall stay here forever. thank you Logen for making Kex unsuccessfully inspect her penis and making me giggle like a weirdo 🙏

contains spoilers.

also i very much like this game. i love this so much. dialogue is funny, and i kinda find it relatable lol. also the way Kex just says Sheesh... I 😬

okay, Logen, or whatever your name was. The game closed on me before I could memorize your name. I will wait for you and this game. I like the online aspect and how they have no lives. Still have no idea who's talking though. Is Kex the bear? Is it Komatose or Kumatose?

I'm interested in the... detectiving... part. the Internet Detective Club. are there more members? perhaps Kex and Ku/omatose are the only ones that are currently walking around and their friends are online? would you be able to chat those online other detective friends through IDCChat? or is it just a lil detective duo?

Why are they going through a building that looks like a spooky school with no textures just for THE MIDNIGHT HARVEST? *scary thunder crackles*

below is my live text playthrough. yes, i was commenting while playing.

haven't even started yet, just vibing to the intro. groovy music, but the text is moving a little too fast for me. the more i watch it the more i get a headache (no offense). ok cool, i struggle a bit on pressing start but realized that you just have to press the -press start-. dialogue. oh, i can't tell who's talking. OKAY, THIS IS PRETTY COOL. i am a simp for games like these. and by "games like these", i meant stuff with like the simulated fake websites.

okay, gotta check the weather, don't know where that is but i'll find it and leave it for last.

Inspect.

Penis.

oh. i see. WHAT. KEX. WHAT. WHY IS YOUR PP GONE. oh. i see. thanks Kumatose. ohhh 😏😏😏😏😏 no shut up Kex is not a mad perverted woman

Talk To... Myself. what. yes Kex go 😍💅💅 yeah Kumatose stop being jalous.

just realized something. on Inspect, it says "Done Talking". shouldn't it be "Done Inspecting"???

Brainstorm. all right all right, i do this a lot with my brother. brain no worky?? no Kumatose don't hit her.

Spoomet!! or.. Spoohet?... Spoohnet? Spooknet?? oh my fictional god, i'm stupid. Spoofnet? anyways, IDCChat here we go. there's no time to chat !?!??!?! there's always time to chat. Alright, Popup Killer. oh wait. why did i only realize it now. after confusedly clicking on it several times, i just realized it's Popup Killer, and it literally kills popups. Alright, Cyclopedy! Funky Weather Facts! No. no way. i believe water is not wet, for water is not touching water. oh and bears like to maul little girls to death! yeah it's good Kex. don't say anything else. megsforum! let's check the threads. Oh god, no posts?!?!??! A life?!? No farting way. I'm jealous. finally, AltoVisto! good weather. nice!

...Weatherman Murders? what?... Oh, great, we're here!

what a spooky lil place, looks like a school? okay, Kex and Kumatose have no life. Okay, Kex just turned Spanish, and I'm pretty sure "amor" has no "e". Eau Parfume of Ze Dead Cat. sounds... French? OH GOD A PERSON!!!!! UNCLE ORANGESLICE HAS VITAMIN DEFICIENCY??!??!

oooooo funky music.

early childhood traumas. okay.  and yes, that is disgusting. please stop talking. UM YEAH HOLD IT RIGHT THERE KEX WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY. i still don't know what this "Midnight Harvest" thing is. maybe it's like a Stardew Valley event lol.

Also, I'm confused. Is it Komatose or Kumatose? Because it keeps switching spelling.

KOMATOSE STOP-

very chill and kinda spooky music. it's like if ghosts just passively made sounds. um okay yeah did Kex just break the 4th wall? Oh, I see. It's alright, creator.

STOP KUMATOSE NO MORE BACKHANDS-

Logen... something ending with -ris???? I'm sorry, really. I seriously was not able to remember your name, no offense. You're not forgettable. It's just that the game really closed on me.

Ah, thanks! Is there a story for them or are they just side things? I never saw the ghost again, by the way.

the concept is nice! I haven't seen many games like this, but I remember seeing something similar before. also, why did we kill the neighbor and how the hell did Samantha reach that conclusion.

omg. i remember playing this game on mobile, it was a cycle: install, play, uninstall, repeat. seeing this again brought me a lot of joy and nostalgia cause i forgot the name. if i ever wanted to install it again, i would just search "DC" and scroll down a lot. because of course, i would just see DC Comics games.

maybe spoilers below?

So, I remember this part that haunted me FOREVER. Honestly, I'm not sure if I even remember it correctly or if it actually ever happened.
So, going to the office. It was night, *maybe*. I walked in... holy bananas a ghost--a little girl, *maybe*--and it did a little giggle, *that's what I remember anyway*. Then it disappeared. I quit the game immediately cause I was scared (I mean, I was a kid). That haunted me forever. I don't know what caused it, triggered it, but omg, please tell me this is real, that I'm not crazy, and tell me what and how that happened.

I never got too far into the game. I hated working lol. Also I'm glad to see that you guys are still real. Now, my PC is too bad to play this. Have a good day!!!!! <3

P.S. I always thought Male MC looked weirdly muscular. Like, too muscular. Artificially muscular, even. It just seemed unnatural, but it's not SUPER bad, so don't worry about it.

• the camera has turned upside down. i repeat, the camera has turned upside down and i have no idea where i'm going.
• why the hell am i bouncing
• lighting can be weird at times. one time there was just this gigantic shadow behind The Baby.
• lag spikes, probably because of my sucky pc.
• shooting literally sucks ass
• the controls are a bit hard, but i'll get used to it.
• combat is simple and easy until lag kicks in
• dashed too much and went inside terrain.
• jumping is hard.
• i could not make it past the first level.
• i very much like kicking babies so they can fall off a cliff
• kicking is probably the only useful move.

what the fuck did i just experience.
6/10. my hands were about to die from kicking babies too much. did not make it past level 1. see bugs above. it's a nice little time-killer (i suppose), and i might even be able to beat level 1 later.

i would very much like to kick The King of Dragons. i shall avenge my kingdom.

Sage is kinda hot 😳 and Riven is my birthday twin lol
also I like how the heart options can be platonic too, and not just flirting. sometimes the flirt option has the thing I want to respond with but I don't want to flirt with the character. so yeah anyways this is a really cool game 👍 I wonder what happened to the giant cat at the start

sadge. but thanks for the reply

looks good so far!! can't wait to find out what's with Felix

**spoiler**

it seems like the game is having trouble with the pronouns of the astraeus.
it is clear that she's a woman tho$r_himself$r_him

i don't really know about coding, but i'm pretty sure something's wrong here lol

this. i'm not even done yet with all of the chapters so far and i know it's amazing hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i have so much respect for you because i can't even make a good enough sentence with at least 15 words for my english homework. and if i do, it looks like an elementary kid did it

um spoilers below

and i don't really know how long this has to be

so i'll just put random sh lol

i have a folder dedicated to finding typos and
weird
english stuff
for this game
and i'm using a 2nd character for this

hee hee 🥰

and then it isn't long enough and
this is just an annoyingly long
comment

ok anyways

not my problem (well actually it is)

"Where are we going?" you ask, your voice small.

cirlces. CIRLCES??????? nah but it's ok i guess
circles*

"I am not staying with this man," you declare.

well it's missing the pronoun/noun. could be "Mama says softly." or "she says softly."

"Alright, Mama," you agree.

not cirlce again 😭😭
encircle*

"What's is to you?" you snarl.

 - choice
 - the result or whatever
well.... technically you just said "What is is to you?"
it*

"Bring the knives, [insert name]," Ahlf commands.

"...as to Ahlf was." what. it's missing a "who"
as to who Ahlf was.*

stall man merchant

"It fits neatly into your palm, a small and detailed." 'a' should not be there. even grammarly agrees
"It fits neatly into your palm, small and detailed."*

do you want to learn more about the Ancient Ones

"What say you?" wth happened here. i don't know if it's meant to be like that
"What do you say?"*

yeah i wanna learn more

"You eyes the idols." a
"You eye the idols."*

But instead of finding the worn book, you find a closed box

"...you reach out for the first folded, page." remove the comma after 'first folded'
you reach out for the first folded page.*

"I was just watching from the cottage," you snap in anger.

"...and the look his gaze becomes hard." well it's missing an 'in'
and the look in his gaze becomes hard.*

"I don't have to obey your every command," you hiss.

"...before he looks way." well it is certainly missing an 'a'
before he looks away.*

anyways at this point my itch.io is breaking but it's okay since i'm done with everything i've found so far
idk if some of them are intentional since.... maybe it's just ancient grammar or something. i mean, it is the 500s 🤷‍♀️
nOW MY LAPTOP IS BREAKING .

I have a question: If I completely delete this game (aka go to Recycling Bin and permanently delete it), will my saves disappear? I haven't played it yet and it looks great. But my PC currently has low storage and I don't really want to keep another big game. Thanks :D

i know this is old but here anyways

[example: serious and comical. number go up = more serious. number go down = more comical.]

Basically, if the number goes UP, then you increased whatever is on the LEFT. If the number goes DOWN, then you increased whatever is on the RIGHT.

this is what i think anyways and it's consistent
