Yay! You finished it! Now, let's see if I can play this without jumping out of my skin! ^^

Yay. I hope you find at least some portions scary/creepy. ^o^;

Yeah, I had to make a lot of changes ... I didn't want to release it until I was satisfied with the finished product.
 
CERU;219842 said:
Haha. Yes. :3 Did you read the gameplay note?

The thing is,I did.It was the very first thing I did.And of course,I read about the plural there.but in that case,I don't know why I didn't think of it.
Right now,I'm at that place with the floors and the big monsters and it's really creeping me out.I got most keys I think and I got the chemical too.I'm at a floor where there is something on the wall.Well,let's see what's up next!

Don't worry, I didn't even get that far into the beginning before I got scared. @_@ Then again, I'm an easily scared person. XD

Haha, yaaay. :3 I wish I could be an easily scared person, but I'm really not. ;.;
 
I just started playing. I don't like how the dialog goes at its own pace, I'm not fast enough to read it all before it ends. Also, I found a bug.
In the park I couldn't get over the gap in the bridge. So I walked across the water on the edge of the map and got to the sewers. I must have missed a lot of stuff. I'm stuck trying to get the tape down from the train.

The dialog has to go at its own pace in order for the game to achieve the cinematic effect I want. Perhaps I should increase the time before the window closes?

Oh I see. That was a puzzle you were supposed to solve, and I am aware of the water problem which I will be fixing in my next release of the game.

Move the boxes ...
 
Okay so I'm stuck in the room with the tentacles and I really have no idea what to do. I keep shooting it and it gets hit but it just keeps coming back and I always run out of bullets so I have to start over from the last save point.

First of all, make sure you are shooting it at the doorway. When the tentacles recede, then you can actually damage it but you have to damage the tentacles enough to make them recede. They come back after a while, so try to do as much damage as you can to the beast. You know you're doing damage when you hear it roar as it's hit.

That worked!! Thanks!!

I actually stopped shooting when the tentacles receded because I thought I was wasting bullets. ^^;;;

Anyway, I'm definitely having fun playing this!
 
The cutscene that caused me to walk slowly was just after I stored Ellie in the room...I went to restore power and entered an area south of where I left Ellie. Alexis began walking slowly and something made I noise I believe...I don't remember much...It is the room that connects to all the B-1 L- rooms...also I believe the cargo elevator is there! Hope that helps. Could you possibly fix my save? I don't have another one!

So it was pretty much right after you were free to walk around in the area?

Edit:
Was it the scene in which you hear a scream?

Exactly...I went back and checked. It was right near the mutilated body!

See, there is nothing affecting the speed of the character at that point. So, it's not the game. Most likely RPG maker or whatever screwed up. Your character should not be going that slow and there's no reason to. I suggest you start from a save before the church, make your way back inside, and then see what happens.
 
Okay, it's me again ^^;;

I'm at the end and I don't really know what to do. I can't get close to either Ellie or that... thing and I don't know what to use the sword for. I tried searching around but I haven't found anything.

Wow! Go you! Now, you see those moving things on either sides of you that look like they're made up of all those bodies? You have to attack them, with the W button. :3

Just pay careful attention to the colors that the boss flashes. They signify attacks. The boss counterattacks, be careful!
 
Sry, I just saw your edit...Yeah It was the event in which I heard the scream...At least thats when I realized it! It could've been the room with Ellie just before it!

I checked that event, and more. It's not that.

This is seriously the weirdest thing. Because if there really was a problem other players would have experienced it there too.
 
I finished the game! Thanks so much for your help, CERU! ^^

That was a really fun game, I really really enjoyed it, and that's saying a lot because I normally don't like playing horror survival games. I'm very easily scared and I jumped more than once playing this game. XD The puzzles were nicely done and not too difficult to solve.

I'm not too sure what exactly happened at the end of the game... but using all the notes and pages to develop the back story and what's actually happening in the game was a nice add and I'd say it was effective enough.

By the way, I scored a Rank D, hahaha XD;;; Hey, it's still passing, right? ;_; Too bad I didn't get to unlock any of the extra cutscenes. Maybe I'll replay it to get a higher rank but right now I think my eyes are a little sore at all the dark tones, so I'll give it a try another time.
