Really enjoying this game despite a few hiccups along the way. Namely getting stuck in one of the apartments and having to restart the game, and it glitching in the seaside town where I wasn't able to meet Lucy in the Inn. Eventually managed to trigger that segment and get through to the next part...
Which I'm now stuck at lol I've found the monolith in the wooded area towards the top of the map (took me a lot of battles to get there lol) but it said that I need to take care of the "killer." I'm guessing the old trigger happy man on his porch?
I'm not sure what to do next and I've gone back into town and been through all the houses/buildings. There are the ghouls (residents?) but none in the cranky mans house. I also haven't found the lighthouse despite searching the top of the map past the guarded trail. I found the graves of Billy, Mum and Lucy. And the monolith but can't get through, as stated above. What do I do next? Regarding the killer, that is...?
Could you please give me a hint?
Also, I'd like to mention how unsettling yet addictive (I've had to restart it several times and list progress when it glitched out lol) this game has been. It's inspired me to play GB games again! (Been using an emulator on my phone). The story is interesting and at times like a fever dream... or should I say nightmare! It really gives you the impression that our protagonist is confused and lost while trying to navigate the two parallel worlds he's found himself in. I found the part about the residents in the original town unsettling... turning to ghouls and the player having to kill them, and therefore his loss, very visceral. I think I picked up on what was happening fairly quickly, yet despite knowing the horror the main character was committing, as well as I, the player, I still had to go on with the show, so to speak. I'm wondering if there's some Lovecraftian vibes here. Anyways, great game! Hence why I'm going to play some other of your creations. Just finished one and going to try another!
Thank you s-o much for giving my games a shot and the kind words!! It’s been a minute since I’ve actually played my own games haha, but there should be a hidden basement in his house(the cranky man) where you should be able to track his dark world persona. Once you take care of that you can get into his house in the real world and find the hunting rifle you need to go up the mountain to the lighthouse. Let me know if that is helpful!
Hey, no problem! Developing a game on it's own is impressive for me. I know it's just another skill that takes practices but it's beyond me. And then to make that game truly playable and keeping the player wanting more is a talent in of itself. You're writing a story and world building, too.
I love horror, adventure and point and clicks, so this is a nice little game to play over a day or weekend.
Now, onto my issue... I have found the basement with what looks like a bloody chair on a rug with a motif Ive seen before throughout the game but I'm struggling from there. I love the added elements of the boxes and cabinets in his house and the garage next door turning even more sinister (dirty mags to bload soaked boxes lol). I've explored the backyard of his house to, and picked up on even more of the sinister goings on, but from there I'm stuck.
If I try to go back to the inn and go back to bed I can't as there's a hole in the floor. But based on the previous parts of the game I'd assume I have to go to sleep after discovering all there is to know about the town. I can't use the monolith, yet there's really nothing I can think of that I haven't done. Is something meant to trigger in the basement instead of him just saying "This is definitely blood..."?
By the way, thanks for replying. I just really want to finish this lol
I’ll try and dig up the game file this evening see if I can figure out what’s happening. It’s been so long since I’ve made that game I legitimately forgot haha
is there a way to trigger her coming to the inn? did I miss something? I went everywhere except getting the gun to go into the new area.. i figure, ill get it from the guy on the porch? welp.. i registered in the inn and went upstairs, saved the game.
Id really love to play this game but sadly theres so many glitches... Im stuck in a loop and cant continue.. been everywhere multiple times and sadly the controls are also not the ones they're supposed to be. I love this style and the story but it looses its charm when parts that are supposed to get you further, dont work.
Could you let me know where exactly you are stuck? And the controls should be fine so would def want to look into that as well. Sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy the experience :(
I really love the story and style. Ive been playing the other games of yours. So, I got all the clues and now want to get the rope to go into the well. From the comments here I saw that I need to go to the monolith to change worlds to get it. but the monolith keeps saying i need more clues. Ive been everywhere but cant find anything else... I will try again today because I really would love to continue playing.
Ok, so Ive reloaded the game and now it seems to work. I went to the places in a different order. I believe that is the issue.. you have to get the clues in a specific order for the monolith to work. I think someone else said that in one of the comments too.
I've managed to come to the town with the lighthouse and explored every house and place I was able to access but now I'm stuck. I can't find the woman who brought me to this place.
The guard at the pathway to the lighthouse still says, only hunters allowed.
The game is great so far. Unfortunately, I seem to be stuck at getting access to the well. I've located the rope but am unable to find anything I can use to retrieve it.
you’re going to have to wake up from the dream to pick it up when it’s not too high. I can say you should go look at the monolith to the north of your home
I checked out the monolith and it states that I still have some clues to find. I have visited the church, the barn, the police station, and the upstairs room in my house.
The part of the game I was able to play was really fun and intriguing! I, uh. Could not figure out how to do anything other than wander the dream(?) version of the town though, and eventually completely ran out of things to interact with. I took several loops around every part of the map just to make sure, interacted with everything again. Tried to peek at the manual but it doesn't actually say how to do things like go between the worlds. I feel kind of embarrassed that I've gotten stumped by what's probably a basic mechanic, but I did till like the game even after a few hours playing it. I'm gonna look forward to trying again if I can think of anything else to try and investigate after sleeping on it.
(Also, I can really see how a lot of elements in this went on into other games you made! Every time I went in a house and recognized the layout I got a smile.)
Hey! Thank you so much for playing! Sorry you got stuck! Try checking the well, the downstairs of the farmer and the barn, the church, then return to the monolith north of your house. Hope that helps! Let me know if you’re having issues. The first little bit is supposed to be a bit harder to simulate not understanding what you’re waking up to but the rest of the game should be easier to progress through
Thank you so much for replying with help! Where I'm at now, You notes that there's something in the well they can't just jump in to find, the rope in the farmer's house is out of reach, there's nothing else in the barn, re-reads the church sermon, and says that they need more clues for the monolith. I've been thinking that there must be a way to find something to climb on or cut the rope down to use it and get into the well, or that there might be a way to reach the upper level by the waterfall to find something not yet interacted with, but in those five areas I can't seem to find any more interactions. Or I might have done the order wrong at some point during my exploration. (I did also find the book about lucid dreaming, if that's one of the sequence triggers.) Thank you so much for sharing tips/advice on how to progress, I really appreciate it. :)
so after all that the monolith still says you need more clues? Check the police station upstairs (it’s at the bottom Main Street all the way to the right) and you’re gonna find some clues upstairs. After that try the monolith 😉
Thanks for replying again! Yeah, it's so strange. I've looked through the desks and files in the station's top floor, along with the upstairs locked room in You's own house, but something still seems to be missing somewhere. (Lots of really fun and interesting inspection dialogue too! I'm excited to learn more about the things in those rooms, but I don't wanna spoil it for anyone else reading) I've also looked at the neighbor kid's house and the secret hideout, though I'm not sure how much they helped for solving the first dream.
that’s very strange. Maybe revisit the well and see if that does it? Sounds like you checked the right things. Well, barn locker, downstairs farmer room, police station upstairs rooms.

Hi there,

No problem. Thank you so much!
Also, when did you make it?
I believe 2021 haha
Maybe i already killed him before i explored the graves, but i cant remember
he should be on the entry level of the creeps house with the bloody basement
Nope
i fear i broke the game
I am stuck, I found the graves and the basement in the grumpy mans house but the monolith still says, i need to find the murderer
tryin to kill all of them with prayers now
nothing happened
he should be in his house in the living room is he not?
nope, he's not
I don’t really remember, it’s been a min since playing through it. Did you go in the backyard beer area?
yeah.. and ive restarted about 20 times now...
Id really love to play this game but sadly theres so many glitches... Im stuck in a loop and cant continue.. been everywhere multiple times and sadly the controls are also not the ones they're supposed to be.

and the controls.. none of the buttons declared in the description are actually the ones that work here... idk what the issue is tbh.
Ok, so Ive reloaded the game and now it seems to work. I went to the places in a different order. I believe that is the issue.. you have to get the clues in a specific order for the monolith to work. I think someone else said that in one of the comments too.
I hate that I have to bug you so much :( really sorry but now im stuck in this house from another game and cant geht out....
I've managed to come to the town with the lighthouse and explored every house and place I was able to access but now I'm stuck. I can't find the woman who brought me to this place.
The guard at the pathway to the lighthouse still says, only hunters allowed.
The old guy still wants to shoot me.
I saved at the Inn.
And at the backyard of the old guys house is a place in the fence I am able to walk on (behind the absolutely disgusting couch).
and I'm not able to go to sleep anywhere
going back to the hotel you didn’t get a room? Upstairs?
I was in both rooms but nothing happened
Try going to sleep. The solution may be in the dark world.
the game seems to have a glitch
at the point, i need to go to the station, after the cut scene, my character disappears and the game crashes
sorry to hear that! Def should not be happening, will look into it, thank you for the heads up!
error appeared today again but randomly pressing enter (accessing the stats screen) fixed it somehow
so weird. If possible please take a screenshot of it happens again
managed to record it. I'll send you a link to the video tomorrow
awesome thank you 🙏
The game is great so far. Unfortunately, I seem to be stuck at getting access to the well. I've located the rope but am unable to find anything I can use to retrieve it.

I am having the exact same issue. I'm starting to wonder if doing things in a certain order causes a glitch in the game.
UPDATE: I restarted and I was able to trigger the correct response on the Monolith. I somehow got stuck in the same loop as kidotix.
Made a video
Hell yeah! Can’t wait to check it out! Super appreciate you guys always giving my games a play 🤘🤘
Hope you enjoyed it and looking forward to playing your next game
Thanks for sharing this project !!
Thanks for playing :)
Wow! That's amazing! Will try to play through and give feedback.
Thank you, hope you enjoy!
thank you! You should be proud pls keep up
The hard work!!!
Thank you for the kind words!
That game is a really nice little pearl. Really sad that its not possible to add some nice ambient mix directly to it anymore :(.
If I ever can salvage it would love to add in the music, there is actual tunes I commissioned for this
uuh..i would love to hear them ingame ^_-
me too :(
