I absolutely love it, it's so cute, there was a few jumpscares, but it's fun. I've been trying to get past the church for like three days now and I was wondering if there is a way and I'm just too dumb to figure it out or does the demo end there?? I can't wait for the full game!!
Hey, so glad you’ve been having fun! What part are you stuck on?
In the church, I can't find any sort of light anywhere, and I can't get past Alex. I'm probably just too dumb to figure it out tho
Have you tried talking to the ghosts?
Most of them are unhelpful, but some of them might have insight ;)
i don't see any ghost anywhere...
I did they ignored me or killed me
hi mat !! i'm having the same issue as the commenter below, the mac version won't open with the same message below. can't wait to try the game out !!! :3
Thanks for letting me know! I’m going to pull the file and do more testing 🫡
great !! thank you :D
Hello, I'm on a macbook (latest OS) and I am unable to open the game. I made sure that I downloaded the mac version, but it still doesn't work. Excited to try your game.
Thanks for letting me know! I’m going to pull the file and do more testing 🫡
I don't know if this will help, I launched the app from the terminal to get an error code, and I got "Unknown error: 111" I searched the error and was directed to an apple forum https://forums.developer.apple.com/forums/thread/676627
Absolutely in love with this! I'm a HUGE fan of Para-Professional and was so hyped finding out the demo was released, I cannot stop talking to my friends about it. I am SO EXCITED to play the full game as soon as it comes out, do you have any estimate on how long it might take? Please don't worry about rushing it, I'm just so excited!!!
The current goal is to finish by autumn, but this project is kinda wild so realistically idk yet!
I love this game! It's really cool and those ghosts are cute<3 Still need to figure out that part in the church :))
My Girlfriend read the Webcomic so she and I played this together on a Discord call!
The entire Demo had me on edge. The lack of a run button had me afraid as I was forced to take in the spooky atmosphere. It also made me fear for little Gene's life!
I then proceeded to get 5 Game Overs.
The art design is incredible, and the writing was exactly up mine and my Girlfriend's alley as almost every line had us smiling with how well it sounded.
Yes we voiced the characters out loud with eachother, and Kohaku Rin (My GF) wanted to voice Gene because he is her favourite.
In terms of game mechanics, There were times where I felt really in the dark about what to do next to proceed. It didn't take long to figure it out, however, and the amount of lines written for revisiting things is so charming!
This was a fantastic Demo and we're excited for the full release!
TL;DR, in the words of my girlfriend:
"I loved it! So cool! Very Cute!"
P.S: I found the only typo in the game. It was the much (spelt 'mcuh') during the wobbly church text (That is how I will describe it because no spoilers!
THANK YOU FOR FINDING A TYPO! So glad you two had fun! :)
great game!! stuck at the ghosts in the graveyard tho😓
If you’re still stuck, try slowing down/staying in place. That might make them a bit more polite :)
