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.

hi, sorry to bother, i'm not sure this is a bug, but i can't seem to progress after the in-game character showed up on my desktop. is this a bug? i can't open kana_exe because of this

Developer

Hello! Yes this is a bug 馃槶 Does this keep happening if you reload an earlier save file? Also did this happen after you picked up one of the files or after going back from the main menu?

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

Developer

I see! Thank you for bringing it to my attention :)

[ 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

Developer

oh no, thank you for reporting this bug! I guess I didn't account for anyone trying to do both ways to enter the school, I'm sorry it broke the game this badly :'( I really wish I wasn't locked out of doing bug fixes for a month because there seem to be a lot of them 馃槶 Thank you for your tenacity!

It's okay!! I still loved the game <333 And I'll be right back when the update releases!!! This honestly inspired me for my next game >v< )/ Tbh the bugs i listed did seem like gameplay at first so it was ok!!

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!

Aww thank you so much Banya 馃ズ and man... I did feel like something was weird with that staircase when I testplayed, but I was so tired and close to the deadline that I thought it was just in my head 馃槶 Thank you for letting me know!

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'm thinking of making a patch these next few days and uplaoding it on google drive so there is a less buggy version available at least :')

Developer(+1)

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

hi!! love the game & how it captures the feel of participating in an arg/unfiction ><
there's a few sections in the maze-y bit you do to get the mirror code where you can just... walk into the void??? 

Developer

hey, thanks for letting me know! Must have put the wrong colliders for some of the tiles. I already knew about the other bug and I don't want spoilers to be posted here so I deleted your other comment, but it is on my radar that you can walk into the crowd of people in the backalley section. 

ah!! oki, sorry djgjdn

i wasn't sure how to tag spoilers :(

Developer

no worries, you're good! :) I'm okay with spoilers being described if it's with a warning, since some bugs do require the context.
