I've gotten either 3 or 4 of the endings, and I really like the concept. However, after collecting the lighter in one day, I couldn't get it in any subsequent days - is that intentional?

This was really cool, the graphics and story were really engaging. I tried for a long time but, never got the true ending. I hope phil got to go outside :(

I really liked this! I see now that there were endings, I never got one I don't think, and I played for about 4 days, just doing the same task, so maybe make that a bit easier to get. The story intrigued me, and I was disappointed not to see an ending :(, even though the game itself is not that fun, I wanted to keep playing in order to find out what happened (no offense). Great job! Feel free to rate my submission as well :)

Interesting little game. I tried getting a different ending, and I saw a few things hinting to different endings, but I couldn't seem to use my lighter to burn things. Maybe I did something wrong? I still liked the little house and that everything was interactable!

Wow this game is awesome! I knew there were different endings but I didn’t expect to get MURDERED in this peaceful little game. You can never see what’s going to happen next and it’s a great puzzle I spent a while beating (I did it in 11 days !).I love the pixel art as well, it’s a really cool game.

Wendel Scardua
07. Oct 2020 · 02:44 UTC
Could you post some spoilers somewhere? I've managed to do lots of stuff, but I feel like I'm still missing something. For example, I got the "Luke Inn..." and "...your room" clues, but I don't know if this is about stuff I had already found in the room or not; and I think I tried everything with the clock and the magazines, but it didn't seem to change anything. Will the true ending stop the loop?

I'll keep trying later, anyway. Congrats for making such intriguing game...
🎤 Gabriel Dias Oliveira de Almeida
07. Oct 2020 · 07:27 UTC
@blotosaur yes, the game is a little open ending, but there is a true ending in fact ^^

@wendel-scardua The true ending "ends" the loop, but it's an open ending for the player basically and you can see how many days you died to complete the game :P

Your English could use some proofreading and corrections. It's just a bit clumsy at times and it spoils the impression a bit in a game where you have to read to play.

Amazing game! I was really impressed by the level of polish, and I like that every clue in the house tells you a little about the real ending. I also thought you did a good job with the overall atmosphere - I was genuinely scared every time I died hahaha.

The funniest part was the cute music that plays when you die in your sleep...

Heya! Thanks for submitting your game to my stream at [wwww.twitch.tv/drjavasaurus](twitch.tv/drjavasaurus). I had a great time playing it ! I am glad that you've decided to put up a warning as this is a very serious topic. It was brave to put that into a game, but I do feel it represents what these situations can bring forth... I like how all the triggers and events clicked together nicely. Well done !

Thank you for including a trigger warning on your game, and thank you for bringing it to my stream.

The puzzle of how to get out worked pretty well, you left a nice trail of breadcrumbs throughout the game toward the solution.

As we discussed on my stream, the underlying story didn't quite work for me to have the intended effect, but I think it was a really interesting thing to attempt.

I've seen a couple of people play it now and I'm intrigued by how differently people react emotionally to the opportunity to manage the health of the house plant.

The game was ok. I didnt really get passed day 1, i tried not doing some of the tasks that were recommended but the game never progressed. Im not sure how to progress at all. There were many spelling mistakes such as "get paint of the floor" and sometimes the watering sound effect played when i was doing something else. Even the art was glitchy, the painting that got hung up became a black line with a huge collision box.

So on initial playthrough I really liked the pixel art and the atmosphere set up with the music. Felt like a pixilated escape room. Unfortunately the longer I played, the less enjoyable it became, for a variety of reasons (note for some spoilers for those who haven't played):

- The polish took a hit when objects were destroyed but some of the pixels were leftover and the collision box remained. Also some sound effects were out of place (clock making a water noise) and some of the interactions were off (if looking at the drawer from the side, interacting gave me text for the window)
- Having to interact with the same object multiple times is not intuitive for players. All the text for the closet should have been together.
- The poor English, which is understandable when it is a secondary language, really takes away from the immersion. In a game like this that is very narrative/text heavy, this is can really impact the player experience.
- The solution for the true ending just was not intuitive. I eventually got it but only by dumb luck as opposed to having an "a-ha" moment. Maybe I missed a clue or something, but I was pretty thorough and even after completing it was unsure how I was supposed to arrive at that solution with the clues given


Sorry for the wall of text. And I hope this doesn't seem harsh, it wasn't meant to be! I do think it is a good jam game. Just a lot of things that I think are very fixable and would improve the game as a whole. And things to consider if you make similar style games in the future!

Cool game, the art is very cute and I loved the soundtrack, I like the interaction with the scenery and the enigmatic disinformation. It was fun looking for the way out, although at first I thought I would really get stuck in the loop and end up giving up, but, I don't know how, I managed to get to the real end.

A little note I'd like to make...

I really don't think Phil Alone needs to be marked as 18+, according to companies such as the ESRB this could settle with a Teen rating. It's just a little suicide, it's not 18+ level.

Heh heh, well, I'm certainly stumped... do you have any (minor) hints? I've explored every bookshelf, tried all sorts of do it/don't do it combinations, I've burned the closet, I've had naps and dreams, I've explored the windows...

Hardest puzzle game I've played... well done, you're fantastic at puzzle-narratives!

@peace-of-cake-games so, there are the tips that will help you achieve the true ending. They are at the house when the loop starts and before. I will give you a hint, if you take a nap, you will have a poem and there is the answer for something :D

"You completed the game in...1 days..."

Ah ha ha! Finally got it. I get the feeling there could easily be a bestselling Steam game of this if you add more mysteries and scenarios! (It stumped me for so long, that's a good sign! It's a nice brain exercise too, that really got me thinking and now I feel like an expert when it comes to getting stuck in your house with a murderer who trapped you in a time loop.)

@peace-of-cake-games Yes, I am trying to released on Steam and for free, but I am looking for donations to realize this dream!

1,00 dollar, 2,00 dollars, anything that can help me to released it on Steam I am happy! ^^

Yes, $100 is a steep hosting fee! Indie sites have free hosting typically... and Microsoft Store might be free if you sign up right...

(Sadly I don't have an account for Steam or anything. I wish you the best of luck!!)

(Another added parentheses note: interested in spreading the word about your Steam kickstarter? I've got just the thing.)

(Yet another. Here's a strategic marketing strategy: you can try to publish a full paid version on Itch.io or something and use this version like a demo, and with how good this is people will surely pay for the full version! The Itch.io funds can help support expansion to Steam, and places like Itch.io are still "big stores" like Steam and Microsoft Store.)
