Excellent! Wonderful work! I am totally invested and I cannot wait to see more! The world is charming, the original graphics are wonderful, and I'm thoroughly hooked!
Hello! I really really really like your game. Problem is, I got to the new updated part, and then I reached to puzzle where you have to read the clocks on the wall to enter the code to progress. Could you help me please? I can't find information about it anywhere online.
I love this game, but I think thats dumb lol. If you put 1-5 under the clocks and you want me to get a 5 digit code Im obviously going to think that I want to read the clocks and input those numbers in order of the numbers under the clock, not the other way around
Oh trust me I agree,I only figured this one out by looking into the files to be honest.
I think maybe changing up that puzzle would be for the best, everyone I have sent the game to has gotten stuck there.
I think changing the numbers up would be enough to make the puzzle more clear. The fact that it's 1-5 throws off everyone who sees it. Throwing in a 7 or a 9 or something would do wonders to make it clear those don't represent the place in the code.
this game absolutely gutted me, very special experience and such a big and sad world to be put into a game this size. the characters and soundtrack will always have a place in my heart
phenomenal game, I've played many of these type of experiences and this one was definitely one of the best; oh laa park was a wild and beautiful ride. I will remember Ashley forever.
I had to dust off my itchio account to say that I've genuinely loved this, this game charmed the hell out of me, and just made me feel a bit better about life, even though it's such a bittersweet experience, I honestly hope there's more of this!
made an acc just to comment on this, gave it a try and was genuinely very engaging! it really felt like one of a kind. i really hope theres more that im yet to find
Real special little surreal game here. The sprite portraits are charming, the world-building has an excellent subtle flavor, and the voice work is especially professional. The tense atmosphere is maintained by some pretty common tricks (sudden noises that are just there to make you flinch rather than actually warning you of incoming danger, tame visual jumpscares, warped music), but it's effective without feeling hammy. Very happy I stumbled upon this!
Judging by the title screen stating this is version 0.75 and the fact there are optional areas to explore, I assume multiple endings are intended, but none seem to be present in this version. It's a bit of a shame, since I went far out of my way to try to get a different result, but nothing changes. Crossing my fingers this game receives an update, because there is SO MUCH potential here for some awesome branching paths.
Also, I feel it's worth mentioning for anyone sensitive to imagery/mentions of suicide: there's a sudden and potentially shocking development related to that subject. I personally don't have that sensitivity, but I DID almost share this game with someone who experienced a traumatic suicide in their immediate family –that tidbit would have absolutely ruined their day.
EDIT: If the warning about themes of suicide was there before, I'm so sorry I missed it, but if it's new, thank you so much for adding it! :)
After beating the game, a new NPC appears in the King's Doorway. They have a few different dialogue routes you can go through but it otherwise doesn't appear to affect anything.
Likewise, going through all of the No Go Door paths doesn't appear to affect anything either.
It just feels like there should be more... Maybe I'm simply missing something? Or maybe that's truly all there is.
In any case, this was a worthwhile and interesting experience.
From what I can tell, doing "bad things" causes those Japanese businessmen enemies to appear, and doing more bad things causes them to become increasingly aggressive. It does not appear to affect the ending in any way.

The hand of the clock determines where in the code the number should go. Start from the earliest time, and place the respective number in each slot.I love this game, but I think thats dumb lol. If you put 1-5 under the clocks and you want me to get a 5 digit code Im obviously going to think that I want to read the clocks and input those numbers in order of the numbers under the clock, not the other way around

But thank you so much for your help : 3

(Spoilers)
I'm curious if there is more than one ending.

THEY TOLD ME TO BRING THE POSITIVE REVIEWS
TO PLAY THE GAMES
AND WHO I A
Wow, that was a wild ride, especially that ending.
BTW, how any endings are there, and are any of them affected by Bad Decisions™?
From what I can tell, doing "bad things" causes those Japanese businessmen enemies to appear, and doing more bad things causes them to become increasingly aggressive. It does not appear to affect the ending in any way.
Very interesting experience. I plan to explore in this game a bit more, but Im definitely going to recommend this to some friends!
