Why is the base version of this game still at 1.1.1? Is the 1.1.4 version meant to be purchased separately?
Hi I just bought the game this week but somehow I could only get 3% or 7% ending despite changing the runes combination multiple times. And the route variety saved in the flowchart dissapeared. Also, there seems to be a glitch in the 4th client, since the answer became 'You wont find it meaningful' even though i arranged the rune into postive answer symbol. I really enjoy this game and curious about the multiple ending, but so far I only got one. Pls advice
You need to make the correct (or, to be exact, wrong) choices to get the 100% chaos ending.
I shall not spoil further but there is a guide on the Steam community page for it if you want to be spoiled
also the fourth client is not a glitch.
Amazing game, completely worth a try!
However, the flowchart isn't working on my computer. I downloaded the game through the itch app. Do you know how can I handle this isue?
Can you describe the issue? I've noticed that the flowchart is not working well in previous build but I thought I have fix in the the latest update.
Sorry, I just saw this. When I open the flowchart, only the first "node" appears and i'm not able to interact with anything.
I bought this game on Steam, but I noticed the Flowchart doesn't show my selected symbols 90% of the time. Is this a bug? I'm trying to get through all of the possible paths but due to this issue I have to spend a lot more time backtracking to select the 'proper' symbols.
Thanks for reporting this. I've found the issue that you've mentioned and will patch the game soon.
I've updated the game on Steam and here. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Why can't I buy this with Stripe?
sorry, i don't know what the problem is. But we've released the game on Steam if you can't buy the game here.
Bleh, I avoid Steam. Seriously though, this is the only game I've come across that only accepts Paypal and not Stripe too. Are you sure there's not a checkbox or something you can click?
Ah, I've found the problem. We're from Indonesia and it seems that our country is not yet supported by Stripe :(
Ah, well that explains it. :(
Thank you for playing! I'm glad you see it as a puzzle because that's what I designed the game for.
I like this game, like the art and music.
Playing like an hour and i got the true ending i guess. The story is interesting and make me sick, hahaha. I hope that will be more
I absolutely love this, but I'm really struggling to get the True Ending. I feel like it has something to do with the number of runes the client in Session 4 decides to take -- he pauses before taking runes, as if I'm supposed to do something, but no matter what I press he only takes three. Additionally, there's an open slot for a fourth rune. And no matter what order I put the runes in, it's always the same divination.
I also can't figure out how to get the casualty rate above 2%. (I once got 0% but that wasn't the answer, so I'm guessing I have to go higher.)
Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks for making such an intriguing game!
Hello! I brought this game yesterday, but my mail is still empty. Where I can get download link?
If it's the most recent thing you bought, it should be the first thing listed here: https://itch.io/my-purchases
I don't know why, but link was sended to my second mail. I don't know why. Thanks, everything is ok. Going to play this beautiful game, thanks!
AMAZING game! The art style blew me away I just loved everything about it!
I don't know if you've heard of Game Development World Championship before (gdwc2019) but it's a competition for indie game developers where they can submit their games and it's free! It's great if you want some more visibility for the game and it only takes a couple of minutes to join :)
This looks great! Is there any chance of a mac release?
Yup, working on it now :D
awesome! I'm very excited
The mac version is up, please check it out :)
Wow, this is really good.
EDIT: Gah! Can anyone give me a hint on how to get the true ending? I keep ending up with 6%!
Any chance of this coming to Steam? I would end up buying it anyways if not but I definitely prefer to have it in my library if possible :D
Yes, it might take time to process it and we might increase the price a little bit tho.
Dope aesthetics here.
Thank you! You have some interesting stuff too, I need to check it later :)
I wanna play it!
Please buy the game to support us :D
Awesome game, brilliant writing. Got the true ending. Through I'm still wondering how many different endings we got here (seems like all not-true endings only have different on the final percentage of causulties)
Hello, awesome game!
I got the true ending. I really like your game even wrote an Introduction with Chinese on some forum. But some of my friends still have the problem with English. So if you are willing to do the Chinese Localization. Please contact me. And I have to say I do not konw much the Unity engine, the work I can do maybe expend some your times.
Glad you like it, thank you for sharing it on forum.
As for the localization, we will be happy to work with you. Please send an email to [email protected] so we could discuss it there :)
We will export the text to spread sheet, so you don't have to worry about Unity.
I finally got the true ending I think.
But I wonder what it means???
Congrats :D
Really appreciate you spend your time to finish the game.
It runs on ultrawide resolution (2560x1080) but the divination board UI broke.
Otherwise, great concept! I would love to see this expanded to be a full game.
Thank you for playing and reporting the bug. Unfortunately we have to drop the support for that resolution.
Glad you enjoy the game :)
Loved it (there are a few typo's in there though) - and I never managed above 2% despite a four or five playthroughs (maybe I struggled to figure out the objective!). Interesting none-the-less- would love to see more of this!
Thank you for playing :D
Yeah we're currently hunting those typo's to update the game.
As for the objective, there are hints in the client's dialog and the news. Hope you get the true ending :)
