This is such a cool visual novel that really is unique. One moment I think I know where it's going but then it changes and twists around! The plot is so cool but I absolutely love the programming gimmicks! They truly add on to the game and enhances the experience, amazing job!
Downloaded this game on a whim because I found a reference to it on TV Tropes, had to bypass my computer's security to play it, zero regrets. Freakin' hilarious. I won't spoil it but at the first big twist I laughed so hard I spit on my computer screen.
This game was so mind-bending! The multiple twists were hilarious and engaging. I thought the mechanic of the game crashing and restarting on a different screen was genius! Do you have a youtube or something where you've explained how to do it? I'd really like to know. If not, no worries. Amazing game! Really made me think!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the twists and turns! The game mechanic is done using "persistent data," which is a type of scripting built into the game's engine, Ren'Py. I wrote a little bit about it in the game's behind-the-scenes document, but you can read about it in more detail in Ren'Py's documentation here. Hope this is what you're looking for, and thank you again for your comment! :)
One of the first VNs that I ever played, and it still stands out in my head as one of my all-time favorites. This game is just full of surprises, all very welcome to my horror and humor-loving heart. <3
I played this recently on a stream. My only complaint is that it is so short. I loved the humor in it and the meta. And Sheska is such a cutie! The art style was also really great. All around, I enjoyed this game.
Edit to add: One issue I did have, since I was playing on a stream, I had Twitch and OBS open on my second monitor and when I switched to type something in that monitor, the game froze and I had to start over.
Hi. It's me again. I finished watching your livestream, and discovered that you didn't finish the game. Spoiler alert, but the crash was intentional. You actually haven't even gotten halfway through the game. ;)
Spoilers: For some reason, after the intentional crash (from picking the secret passageway), the game is not continuing the story once you re-open the game (like it's supposed to). I'm not sure what is causing this issue, but it may be OBS. Be sure to set OBS to record the desktop rather than the game's window, as some problems may occur otherwise.
It's me, once more. So I played the game again today, in the stream. This time I actually completed the game. I did do the desktop capture and that seemed to help. However, I still had an issue with the game crashing when I clicked on my second monitor to type something in the stream chat. (It's early on in the stream). Thank you so much for letting me know that I hadn't completed the game the first time; so glad I got to finish it. I really enjoyed this game a lot. Great job! :)
Loved this game. I was expecting a funny meta horror story but it ended up being much more interesting than that. I don't think I've ever played a game that existed beyond its game file. The concept is really fun and the writing is solid, I almost wish it was longer so that we could live in each part of the game just a little bit more.
I just finished the game and I just have to say it was the best visual novel I've ever played! It was so clever, funny and kept me in suspence all the way through! I loved how you had to find your way out of the game, the game crashing and changing all the time, Simon helping us out.... aghhh it's such a great idea, I will come back to this game for sure in the future! Also, when I get my credit card I'm definietely going to support you financialy, you deserve it!

Nice game. I won't spoil it too much but I loved how Adrien was aware that it was a game and then he ends up meeting the girl (I won't say her name for spoiler reasons) in the other game and then he finds out that he is actually just stuck in (MAJOR SPOILER AHEAD) the game but actually exists in real life.
Thanks a lot! I thought I had to take this piece of code and inject it somewhere else... I also totally missed that the boolean thingy was set to "False".

Thank you so much! And thank you for noting the OBS issue. I'm gonna check out your livestream. <3

Thank you. That is interesting; I will give it another try later this week. I will double check the OBS settings.
I just noticed you followed me. Thank you! <3

Where am I supposed to insert the crack Simon gave me?
</spoilers>
I have written a walkthrough for that bit. If you're still stuck, please let me know.
