If you find any bugs, I appreciate it if you let me know here :) Please note that the game is currenlty going through a judging phase as part of the RPG Maker jam, so I won't be able to upload any any bug fixes for the following month.
i only managed to progress after loading an earlier save file and redoing my progress from there (it didn't take long, though!). and it happened while i was going through the entrance.png puzzle i think? i got a little stuck on that part (my fault), so after switching from the desktop to the game a bunch of times this suddenly happened and would happen whenever i tried to open the game on that save file
[ SPOILERS AHEAD FOR OTHERS ]
Hello I have a major bug report.. this specific section of the game, if u do not get the plier thing done beforehand... it for some reason completely broke... even on old save files i was stuck just here where kana.exe would "crash" but then the entire desktop would go black and i had to restart and reload multiple times... it even crashed my computer itself eventually ;; I am not sure what happened on the back end, i thought it was part of the game, but now that i finally got the 2nd ending, i see it wasn't haha... eventually i loaded a very very old save before i entered the school, did the pliers, then got the 2nd ending... but essentially i guess u can't do the 2nd ending once u've opened the school once? i wasn't sure if that was gameplay too. So instead of 1hr play time i spent 6 hours trying to get the plier ending ;;v;; i look forward to future updates as i saw on a different thread! i will def play!! hopefully i dont sound too harsh!! I really enjoyed the game and hope we get to know even more story of what the mysterious other person did
Hi Hatoge! I'm mindblown by the game, so far I've played is amazing!
I think I encountered a bug though... if you go up the stairs two times but then go back one time and go back up the staircase become endless (you can only go up or down the stairs but you always get redirected on this map). I tried a new save file, went only up this time and it didn't trigger, so it must be that specific combination of actions that messed something in the staircase. Basically if you do this: up - up - down - up on the stairs they loop forever.
It also happens if you're on top floor (where the entrance code is requested) and you go down once but then go back up, the stairs will loop again.
You either have to go down - down - down or up - up - up, the other combinations softlock you ><
I hope it helps, if I find any other I'll report!
Btw I LOVE the decoding stuff in the game!
The binary codes are very clever too!
I finished the game and IT'S - SO - GOOD!!!
I wanted to rate it for the jam but it won't let me, so I have to wait for it to finish to do it ;w; but really Hatoge, you reach new heights every game you make and this one is impressive! (The stair glitch doesn't ruin the experience, don't worry too much about it for now)
I've seen that this bug occur in many moments, but it appeared to me at the very beginning of the game when I tried to rename the file to "window.png" and try to enter kana.exe. Maybe I'll wait until the jam is over and you fix these bugs to complete the game, because saving doesn't even help.
BTW, great concept, style and gameplay
I just uploaded a new version to google drive and gamejolt (It's in the game description and devlog on itchio. If it says v1.1 on the title, it's the correct one) if you'd like to give the game another try :-) I tested it much more extensively than the old version but if there are any bugs remaining or new ones, please let me know 馃檹
