just purchased the game a few days ago - unfortunately it crashes about 30 seconds after the title page, and automatically opens my Steam App that leads to this game's Steam store page. same issue for mac and windows version. not sure if it's a bug or sth. Really appreciate any help!

Thank you for the heads up! Working on a patch already and will fix this too. Fairly confident in what is wrong. Gonna upload it later today🙏

I am struggling with fixing this tonight, but working on it! If you want I can send you a Steam key, the game is stable there! Just send me a message at contact@eightbitskyline.com if you are interested. A fix should hopefully come out tomorrow or sunday though :-)

Fixed! :-)

wow thank you so much for fixing it!!

No, thank you for your patience! If you are still keen on a Steam-version for your troubles, just message me on Steam :-)

the game works now and the puzzles are really hard lol! i actually got stuck at one point (I followed the walkthrough but still not sure what to do) - i got the first book slip (diamond) from the night-time library, but when i went back to my room, it's occupied by another "me" sleeping and I couldn't go to bed.. tried switching to day time in the day/night altrium but same me sleeping in daytime...nobody else around in the scenes. Mind helping me out a bit?  thx~

Developer

Sound like a bug that you can see the other "me", I'll look into it. Seems like a visual bug, but can you not go to bed? That is weird! Have you left for the other zone perhaps (the exit from The Common Area where there is a guard in regular day time)? Is your bed blue or is it red/green? That would explain it, if not weird!

yes i just saw a later part of the walkthrough explaining it.. i found my other "self" on the bed when I still don't have any moon flowers, guess that's why i got stuck. but i started a new game and all's well!

But you can return to your own zone, no need to restart the game! :-)

yep i realized that lol

ah i think i figured it out! 

Developer

Oh, okay! I am always up for bugs tho haha :D Tried to make the online walkthrough logical and easy to follow, but it might need some improvements!

Just got to Act 3 - and despite some trivial bugs, the experience was very smooth so far! the puzzles are hard but they do make sense (after reading the walkthrough lol

a few possible issues i found out - 

1. in some places multiple bgm overlap, especially the bgm would suddenly set in during the music puzzles..tried to change bgm volume but it doesn't work. 

2. this one is about the text walkthrough - when commanding the stone golem, i actually had to first do the petrified forest and then the bridge to make the conversation at the waterfront appear. so i think sequence matters.  

3. i'm kinda stuck here, in Act 3 - i followed the walkthrough to bring required stuff to the three musicians, restored the power, and used moon flower (which blooms as i toggle the lamp to night time). then i returned upstairs and not sure how to make the band play music. so can't trigger the metronome.  also, even i used the flower, the security guard will go downstairs to turn power off again (and i no longer hold any flowers)..  tried a few times looping around but still can't proceed from here.. thanks for any help!

Developer

1 and 2: Thanks a lot!! Will look into these.

3: So the band has everything they need and you put the seeds into the power cabinet and it bloomed? Then it is supposed to be enough for you to get the metronome from the drummer, pick up the megaphone and use the knife on it to get the batteries, put the batteries in the metronome and give it to the pianist. The guard should return and you should be able to progress to the right!

yes,  i put the seeds, bloom the flower, give the band everything they need, got a battery from the megaphone.  and there's no trigger for the metronome. is there like any other requirement?

Developer

No, just using the batteries inventory item on the metronome inventory item and then use the metronome on the pianist. You can try it the other way around (the metronome on the batteries) for now, or just talk to the pianist instead, If you have put the batteries into the metronome. I will take a look tonight, but us has worked so far at least!🤔

thanks!  - i think the issue is that, i have no idea how to let anyone give me the metronome?  the walkthrough mentions that the band will play briefly and then gave me the metronome, but i don't know how to make the band play in the first place (already get them things they need, restore the power , bloom the flower, etc.)   but yeah i will try some more and  let u know if it works. after all i really like the style of your game and overall theme, so really hoping to finish it :))
