@awwwz So glad to hear that! Your bats are amazing too LOL
@enriranjan Thank you! Everyone in our group loves horror.
@mezaka The package has some bugs we guess. Trying to fix them!
@alexey-bobrovskiy Sorry about the bugs! It should be a story about a cult summoning the god of radio
@draki Thank you! BGM is definitely sth we should work on!
Why do I need six knives, and how do I throw them away? I ripped open a chair and a stuffed bunny, but I couldn't pick up any items.
The audio is also missing, or at least I haven't heard any.
Visually it's gorgeous, and the art style is absolutely beautiful though.
Going forward, try to define your core game loop clearly and prioritize mechanics that serve it. Don't underestimate the importance of player feedback — nail that and you'll be in good shape.
One more thing about the inventory — it seems like you can't remove items from it. I accidentally filled my pockets with fish food and couldn't progress without restarting because the inventory was full.
Keep going and don't give up.
I click on the couch, there's a patch there, I remove the patch, and there's something red underneath, but I can't click it, and when I click on the couch again, the patch reappears and won't come off.
I'm lost.
