[26-OCT-2023] - HALLOWEEN 2023 STEAM DEMO RELEASE NOTES!
README
The tutorial is highly recommended.
The posters in your room hint at the basic controls.
To talk to people and advance dialogues, press E
Press TAB to enable a cursor and interact with UI elements (dialogue choices)
Hold B and release to blow on things or puff your cigarettes.
In case you've completed the demo once (this will be made obvious if you get there), you can press the non-numpad minus key (-) to trigger the visitors near instantly (possibly buggy) and see what other choices are available even if the placeholder conversations aren't very complex atm.
Make sure to use the feedback form in the ESC menu or submit your review and suggestions here! I will 100% watch entire playthroughs and videos if you post them.
Lastly, you may remember it from this very old version:

a great game, really looking forward to the full release!
Chaotic fun at its finest! I made a video on it, filled with constant laughter. Enjoy!
I absolutely love this game.
Is it still being worked on? And is there a working Discord server invite link? It's so difficult finding any information about this amazing game lol
Turns out when I updated the link a while ago it only updated the visual text and not the actual expired link that was there. Thanks for the report. Probably missed out on a bunch of new fellas cause of this lol. And yeah most of the info and progress is in the discord and a tiny bit in the steam community stuff.
We still miss you, come home
i love this game <3
Check the discord if you care to see progress and updates. Thanks for playing.
when the sex update
i did not know it would acces my files on the computer
Just a basic file browser in read-only. Nothing funny going on. I might add a warning or something cause streamers understandably hate the surprise lol
Been feeding skeletons to this weird crystal thing for a while now, where's my reward?
I don't remember if I set a special reward per npc type or if it's always cheese. Might just not spawn anything but it should. If you kill them by punching with heavy items (they're weak to blunt damage) they should drop bones which currently do nothing. Sorry
Seems to have been a bug, while I have you, how much dust do I need to feed candle lady? Feel like I've been using a ton. EDIT: and yes, it appears to just be cheese. I also can't seem to figure out the significance of the picture with 3 skeletons under the bed. Also struggling to figure out how to open the basement door despite logging 6 hours playtime on the demo alone.
Candle girl currently just gives you money for dust with nothing more. Haven't done a pass for dust collector reward tiers yet. Her intro mentions trying to find cracked walls so look closely at walls that can break. I thought they were super obvious but I'm making the game and apparently they aren't at all. Big hint is they're all upstairs atm. Thanks for asking.
AI can't think of seeing any cracked walls, but I will definitely have a look. Totally did not spend a bunch of time shoving skeletons under a bed to see what happened. I did find one of the passages that seems to have opened to the deck and shipped the money. And where would one want to build a door? I would be asking these on your Discord, but the link is expired. I'd also like to express my extreme interest in this game, and want to offer any help you may need. So far I have found a handful of bugs that I'd be happy to point out to you. As a hobbyist dev, I know the pain lol
Oh i forgot to fix the link on here. Was only up to date on the steam page. It should work now, thanks.
The "door building kits" are only to repair broken doors. Doors can be broken by bashing them with heavy objects (you'll definitely hear it if it works).
Yeah the next build focuses on bug fixes mostly, along a few new immerse focused things. Check out the progress log on the discord if you're interested. Thanks again.
how tf do i save
F5 and F9 for quicksave and quickload. I thought I had these in the control rebinding menu but they're not there at all lol sorry. Thanks for playing.
tyy
God please keep updating this game I would spend so much on this.
100$ golden piss bottle skins
Hooly hshit.

Is there a way to get the old version
Which one? They're all still on itch so I could enable an old one but they all have less stuff.
The first version ever
how to unbox box
Hit the tape on top of the box quickly with a knife or scissors (or just throw them at it) and then you can open the box by using it in your hand. I'll make it so the scissor "open/close" cuts it properly cause it's not intuitive enough at the moment.
Gave the game a fresh Lets Play, but I think I'll give it 1 more go thats not as long to search around for the secrets. My feedback that I mentioned in the vid that I'll bring up here is, I think you poop too frequently, some added missing tutorials like Ctrl to sit/sleep / Tab to bring out the mouse cursor is not told to answer dialogue and I feel the Sleep/food/poop/clean should have a basic UI in a corner to remind you how much either of them need attending.
Agreed on everything except the UI which I want to keep in your eyelid menu just for immersion purposes (even though it is 100% inconvenient lol). Had a ton of fun watching your playthrough, thanks for taking the time.
You just want to watch people shit themselves when playing the game, I knew it...
cool game i like
will you continue with the game? I love it
I Would like to see more characters and stuff its really good
I'm still working on systems and mechanics so the actual story and definitive characters/storyline aren't done (although I have plans for them ofc). I'm hoping to have a steam store page by the end of the year. Thanks for playing!
is there any way to get in the room from the dad?
Not at the moment but there is a key somewhere for the attic. Use it by holding down on the key in one hand and the door in the other and use them together.
Is there money in the game and if yes where?
The only money maker is the anime game website in the computer's browser. It's a clicker game that you need to invest a bit of time in and it'll make you money. There is also real physical money to be found but it can only be given to NPCs at the moment. Thanks for playing!
where is that physical money? I really neet it XD
Look for a clue in the closet of the living/tv room.
why cant i interact with people anymore
nvm fixed i
is it possible in any way to get the goodis ?
Sadly the big blue boy doesn't come back so he currently just scams you. Various pills you can get from people or buy online are definitely on the menu for future updates though.
I been a dirty boy, aint I?
(V2, Glad to see shitting was not nerfed, but indeed enhanced)
(somehow even got it on the ceiling)
Great update! So glad I decided to check in today haha. I like all the new settings you've added and new fire/shit effects, with the burning and leaving shit footprints. As always its a fantastic game and I personally cant wait to see more of, although I am once again disappointed that no one came to the window when I got naked in front of it. I personally ran into no bugs during my play through, though I will be playing it again and again and will give feedback in-game on any bugs I find. Great work my dude (:
Glad you like the new feature. Positive or negative your feedback will always be welcome. Thanks for tuning in once again.
where is the full game?
the game is really good but when i want to talk to people i hit e and it doesn't work can someone help me?
In the 20_Q2_V1 version, the dialogues can get buggy if you talk to the Succubus in the computer room. Otherwise you should be able to talk to other people if you're close enough. Should be fixed in the next version which focuses mostly on bug fixes. Thanks for playing.

Update log 22: Nerfed shitting to a maximum of a single metric cube per room
Good update! I've probably played it atleast 12 times now since it was released haha, this game is very good, reminds me of My Summer Car, but if it was better. Although in the update, the lightning can glitch out a bit and stay making everything forever glow, and when it does that (for me atleast) I wasnt able to take off my shirt after that point, as well as talking with the lady afterwords anytime hitting E will bring up her text and disable the camera movement. Lastly is anyone actually ever at the window? or did i do something wrong?
The lady camera bug should be fixed in the update that came a few hours later (v01). The lightning bug should've been fixed even before that but I'll check again It possibly happens if you skip over the character's line too quickly. For the window thing you didn't do anything wrong. I would've had to implement another feature to do exactly what I wanted but I figured it'd be kinda funny if nothing happened and you just stood there naked. Given how buggy the release can be, that decision was not for the best. Thanks for following up on the game, glad you enjoyed it.
That makes sense then, I downloaded it only like 10 minutes after it was posted yesterday so I was playing that version, Great game so far though!
How big would you say the Update is? Big, small? Plenty of content to warrant a replay or should give it more time?
Definitely wouldn't make a new video over it since the dialogues haven't changed much. There're phones and a new character but it's mostly under the hood stuff. Do note the build is less stable than I'd like though. Thanks for asking.
I'm still anxiously waiting for a chonk update to give it something worth a good chunk video, or video series for sure :P
While I did fix a few bugs, I'd suggest waiting for the next one in a few weeks if you intend to make a video since there's not much more content. I'm planning on adding a very cool feature soon though. Thanks for playing.
Is this the update I was waiting for or did I miss the one a week after the comment?
FANTASTIC honestly a great game, only complaint is Id like the sensitivity on the mouse to be a little higher. other than that, really fun and id love to see more come from this (:
I'll be posting an update this Sunday most likely. Dialogues won't change much, but lots of new little features and fixes. Thanks for playing!
Excited to play!
question: How do i get the full version?
The game still has a long way to go and this demo was to showcase the current state of the game, although many improvements have been made already with all the feedback I got. You can follow me here, on tumblr or youtube @neetdev for future updates. Thanks for asking.
question: where is the attic key?
Nowhere. Keys exist in the game files and technically work but I didn't make use of them for the current demo.
Now in the newest Update I found a key in the basement but it doesn't work on the locked door upstairs or at least I didn't figure out how to use it.
If you have the key in one hand, hold that hand's mouse button, do the same while holding the door with the other (free) hand, press E to use the key on the door. I've done it and seen it work for others so it *should* work. Thanks for returning to the game after all this time.
I like the simulator aspect of it, though the in-game instructions really are unclear. The controls (mainly mouse sensitivity) are also slightly troublesome. I went into this game not realizing it had the horror tag (which I don't handle well), so I started panicking when I realized it had flashlights and let me blink, because no other genre I know of lets you do that. I ended up quitting early. If you ever make a non-horror life simulation game in the future, I'd be happy to give it a go. This one shows promise, whether you go all out on the horror or not.
No promises but I wouldnt mind ultimately adding a "pure sim" mode as it would essentially just mean removing a bunch of spooky stuff from the main version and i feel the gameplay can be satisfying on its own to a degree.
Thanks for the feedback
I see loads of continuous potential if it just gets updated forever and ever.
Glad you enjoyed the interactivity and could see the vision for the project. Hopefully I can give you more video worthy content. Thank you for playing.
FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
I dont know why… but i Love this game XD <3
