Pressing the 'Start Game' button doesn't work :(
Hey Will, sorry to hear you're having troubles! Which version are you playing, windows or mac? And are you using mouse or gamepad?
The first few nights where I was creeping around the house and spying through the windows, I couldn't help but think...
Am.... am I the baddie...?
it crashes right after launching. is anyone else experiencing this?
Ah dang, sorry to hear you're having this problem. What operating system and computer model are you on?
i have a dell g3 running the current version of windows. i tried launching it 3 times to no avail
Could you try and find the player.log file in C:\Users\username\AppData\LocalLow\Hedgefield\The House On Holland Hill\ and email it to me at [email protected]?
I enjoyed this too, Nice work!
My friend and I had such a ball playing this together. I really appreciated the freedom the game gives you to creep around the house, (I even fought my way into the house at a couple times where I don't think you were supposed to XD). It was a really fun story!
Thanks so much, glad you two enjoyed it! :)
really enjoyed this one, thank you
Ah thank you!
Hi, haven't played yet, just wondering if there's a way to rebind keys ? AZERTY here...
Hi, unfortunately there isn't, but thank you for asking, that's a feature I'll take into account for future releases.
Version 3.0 which will be out in march will support controls remapping!
The first day Rosalinde was there I managed to sneak in behind her and snoop around. But the door shut behind me and I got locked in. I thought it was a trap but I had to restart the delivery to continue haha. That's what you get for being nosy.
This is a fun little game though, with a clever premise! But my favorite part is that painting on the wall with the ghosts, and how if you look through the glass door after a delivery, Callum is just standing in there in the dark perfectly still. Maybe unintentional but definitely creepy.
Thanks! Glad you liked it, and could appreciate the details, intentional or not ha
Day 11 when Callum is behind me after I ring the bell (when Rosalinde drives away) instead of going up the stairs to the house he just... phases through the stairs and the door opens by itself and then closes. He can't be seen inside, either. So yea. He just clipped through everything instead of going up.
Oh weird! That used to work. I’ll look into it.
I played through a second time. That time I met him over near the carport and he walked to the stairs and then up them normally. Might have been a one-off bug. I'm not sure, I haven't done a third play, yet.
Oh that’s really helpful, it might be a flag that only gets set if you talk to Callum, I’ll check that out, thanks!
Wow, what an amazing game. Havent found anything so captivating to me in a while now.
Thanks so much, glad you liked it!
Another really nicely done game, Hedgefield. Very tense and atmospheric, neat stuff.
Thanks so much, glad you're enjoying my work!
I chickened out and escaped with Roselinde. XD Nuh huh, ain't no way I'm going in that cellar. I don't even like my OWN cellar.
Haha, good choice! Wouldn't want you to have to start avoiding your own cellar.
I really enjoyed this! It played longer than you'd expect for a gamjam type game!
Glad to hear it! And thanks for making a video, that was geat!
Wow, nothing but good things to say about this. Seems like you spent your time very wisely!
Damn...
That was super good.
Fantastic! Really confident and effective storytelling with a cumulative tension. Nice visuals and writing, too.
