Really enjoy this game! Problem is, when I die the screen freezes on the grey crt-esque screen. I can hear noise of my character moving but i can't see anything. Any advice?
Thanks! I recommend making sure you have the latest version (v1.04) and, if you are still able to press X to bring up the menu to exit the game, try reloading your file. Or just exit/restart the game.
If the problem still persists, you may also start a new game; please note, how the game runs may vary depending on the machine.
Also note, save files from previous versions also may not function with the current version. The game was made for Windows 7 and above, and also uses HTML5, Javascript, and PIXI libraries; be sure your machine has no custom settings for those libraries. Hope this helps
Hello, I also want to make a game for GBC . But I don’t know how to make it so that it opens as a game on PC. Embed an emulator? Or how did you do it? To post a game on Steam
Hello, I purchased your game sometime ago, it came with some sort of bundle? Anyways I just now found out I can have the game on steam if I owned it on here previously but the option doesn't seem to show up, I was just wondering if I am making a mistake or am not entitled to the game as a result of how I got it. Thanks
Unfortunately, it seems that those who got the game as a result of an itchio bundle do not have access to the “request key” option as one would have if purchased regularly.
I’m unsure of how itchio handles/considers games in bundles like that, but you may contact itchio support about it
In short, I apologize if my games' original experience is hampered in any way because of the updated soundtrack, please know I have done my best to separate my games from this and their original commissioned soundtracks, and have been moving forward since I've been made aware.
In short, I am no longer working with the previous composer and have already updated the commissioned soundtracks used in all my projects. Here are my posts addressing the update to the commissioned soundtrack at the time and the steps taken to update all my projects since:

i tried to translate the binary from the arcade machine fight and it sais pleeaseiwanome, is it supposed to be please i want one? im pretty sure i did put some things in wrong as well.
I got this game in the bundle for racial justice a while back and I love picking it up and playing it every now and again. I love the pixel art as a pixel artist myself and its just so creepy cozy
Could you build this for linux? The 1.02 update crashes when viewing endings after the credit scroll. This did not happen on 1.01. This is under lutris wine
Sorry, Linux cannot be supported at this time. The v1.02 Patch has only made updates to the soundtrack (the game uses .mp3 and .ogg files) I also have not encountered issues using save files from v1.01, but I do not recommend using save files from previous versions with v1.02
Also, after the credits scroll for each ending, a .webm movie file plays as well. If the .webm movie does not play after the credits, I recommend closing and reopening the game and playing to the credits again to get the .webm movie to play.
I am limited to testing on my own PC, so anything regarding how game files are opened/accessed on other computers may not be accounted for (for example, if your computer has rules set up for playing .mp4 or .webm files or requiring write permissions to write to save files for the autosave).
Just to update, the most recent patch v1.03 for Windows is now live on the store page, and among other updates, contains updated .webm movie files to address the issue you encounter after the credits scroll.
The "Play movie"-feature issue for the engine varies among different PCs, but hopefully this addresses the issue.
Awesome! Just found this game off of a YouTube video and I'm psyched to play it but I don't quite trust itch.io's net security enough to enter my payment information into it. Gladly willing to pay for it though, I'll be on the lookout for it on Steam!
me too! this game uses such great concepts the closest thing i could find that is like this game is from newgrounds now on steam last stand the aftermath
omg THIS is the game ive been thinking of for a while! i got it for free one time because of a brithday sale i think, but i lost it because i was borrowing the laptop i was playing it on for my dads work since they had extras! when i get my own bank account i should be able to get it again though :D my parents dont trust itch.io enough to let me pay for anything on this site/app :( loved it when i got it before and i cant wait to get it again sometime soon :D
PS: if it sounds like im trying to make up an excuse to get it for free or something, i am not. I am diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and cant tell if things i say/type sound genuine or not :( im sorry

Hey no problem, I really appreciate the timely reply.
i've never seen a game capture what a liminal space feels like so perfectly.
It's come up that it isn't immediately apparent as to why the commissioned soundtracks for this and my other projects were updated 3 months ago.
Please be respectful when mentioning or discussing this topic, and for any future reference, I'll place my stance here:

I'm not too fond of the new music it doesn't fit the mood as well as the old music did I know why you had to change it

Dose it work for the steam deak?
My latest project, Sorry We’re Open is playable on Steam Deck, so I believe this also is playable on Steam Deck as well.
I got this from Racial Justice and Equality bundle and was wondering if itll be the full game when it releases.
The game has already released and is complete; it will just be releasing on the Steam platform soon.
I didn't realize that. Gonna have to give the game a go as I thought it wasn't out.
this was surprisingly good
