I adore this game, everything about it is wonderful. Massive silent hill vibes and the psychological creepiness is crazy. I don't even know what's happening but I'm terrified and I love it
I played this game a long time ago, and I made an account on here just to leave a comment. This is hands down one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. This game singlehandedly gave me an interest in horror games, after seeing how good and how scary a game can really be without resorting to jump scares. You did such a great job of keeping me right in the sweet spot of very scared without killing my motivation to press on.
I've been waiting ages to play this through a second time. I'm making myself wait a long time first though so I'll have forgotten enough about it to feel like it's a first playthrough again!!!
I still haven't found Jasper and I just keep going deeper and deeper into this...lovely place. I really need some help, these slugs aren't doing anything for me. I can't even hear Jasper barking anymore. I'm really sad and I want a snack.
Hey guys, I'm still stuck in this sewer looking for my dog, Jasper. There's lots of monsters and abominations down here but they're not very helpful and I think they'd rather eat Jasper than help him find his way back. So if you guys could help me out that would be really great, thanks!
Hey if you guys could help me out, I lost my dog in the sewer and I'm tryin to get him back. His name is Jasper, maybe you could watch the video and see if you can figure out where he is so I can get him. THaanksss...also Subscribe to the channel!!!!
Not sure what's going on here, but for whatever reason there's no audio playback when starting the campaign. Start up and menu music works just fine, however, nothing else after that. Thoughts?
This game is horrifying in all the best possible ways. I have played quite a lot of horror games but none capture the genuine fear that this one does. Please play this. Play it blind, it's super well made and I appreciate everything it gives.
Hello, I'm having issues playing the game with audio. Everytime I start it up the menus have audio but no actual gameplay has audio. It's just me silently walking a corgie...
The steam forums say if I download an earlier version it should be fine, but none are available. Pls help.
It's actually an issue in newest version as well (in fact Steam version is 3.0.2 currently so the same as the one on itch). It seems to be a bug with a sound volume actually being either null or 0 (depending on how it was written) and menu not reflecting it properly. All you need to do is change the volume in menu to any other value than it currently shows, which I assume runs events with setting new volume value. That will sort the issue (or at least it should).
same here, not had any luck. I can get the game to open sure but it'll glitch out and exit before long amongst a myriad of other issues.i'm wondering what sorts of difficulties there are in releasing a mac build or port? wine is particularly unstable these days also since the upgrade to 64-bit os.
yeah honestly i'm probably just gonna invest in a windows computer just for gaming lol, especially since the 64-bit upgrade because i can't run most of my games anymore
This game is incredible! Thank you, Kira. I had a great time playing the game and will definitely revisit it in the future. There was a minor bug in the research facility that produced an on-screen "UnityEngine" error. I have sent an e-mail with more information to your Gmail address. Looking forward to enjoying your other projects!
I LOVE this game, it really gives me the creeps. I really love the sound design, because of that you're 1001% into the game. I can't wait to finish it (I hope I can, because those creatures really make me on edge!). I made a little video about it.
I've owned this game since donating to the kickstarter, never got around to playing it. I finally did on stream, and wow! I'm impressed. Very tense, very fun. I'm going to find my pooper!
Great game ! Some ideas in there (espescially with, for example the apple ) are amazing in themselves, but with the sounds, the visuals, and the atmosphere, makes for a really unique game * u * )
I'm not sure weither you made it all by yourself or with a very, very small team, but either way congrats, that's an impressive thing to make !
Hello Akuma! Please, can you contact me? I thought about helping you with ideas if you will do Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion new DLC/ mode. Please contact me: janek.heuer@interia.eu :)
I would love to try, but Wine is a wilful beast...can I get a refund in case it won't work? In turn, I promise to provide wrapper (if it's gonna work), so other users would have easier time running it on Mac :)
Also, what minimum DirectX version required for the game?
It's not possible to run the game using wrapper on macOS then :( The latest DirectX version supported is 9.0c due to Apple not updating macOS OpenGL drivers in favour of proprietary Metal API...
Hello, I have a problem with the game, I'm sorry if this question is stupid but i can't found the save's folder, I change my computer and i don't know how i can recover my old save (nothing in steamapps/common) and the cloud doesn't work Did you have a solution or i have to restart the game from the beginning ?
There is not controller plugged in, however, it seemed to be a driver problem. I disabled everything labeled game controller in device manager and that fixed the problem. It seems to be a common Unity problem.
P.S. Highly enjoyed the game, keep up the fantastic work.
Thanks for the feedback. I might do what I did with Spooky's and just disable all controller support by default so this doesn't happen and those who are using a controller can turn it on.
Following flipping the final switch, the train will pass by but stop just short of the pair of shoes at the edge. I was informed that the doors in front of the shoes are meant to open, but they simply wont </3. I'm stuck in the train station for now.
I have to comment, after getting the sale, having Pyrocynical's video randomly pop up talking about the game and making me interested.
I dunno why I did it, I guess I forgot I am really, really not good with horror video games, guess I thought I would handle it better. Thought absolutely wrong.
As a fan of SH2, 3 and somewhat 4, I wanted to at least play this title for it's style, and I have to say the style is absolutely excellent, the mix of low poly PS1 styles with few modern effects and some very stellar meshes of modern reflectivity with very low textures works. It all works very well to make visually unique and interesting game for 2018 and the sounds are spot on.
... Sadly, probably too much. I indeed forgot how badly horror games, specifically games hit me. It took me long time to be able to take on SH2 without breaks in between, SH1 being worst in making my mind so upset and immersed in the experience that I still have not gotten through SH1, just because it very quickly makes me want to shut the game.
By making a 1st person Spiritual Hill, you also made a game after 90 minutes I got extremely upset by, with a headache and still rushing blood pressure and I have to commend you, even if I am a customer who might have to leave playing the game here, and incomplete.
It is really good for what it is, for me probably TOO good.
Still, thank you for making this game. If you ever try to use these styles to make something different, I will be all ears for it. I say I hated the experience I had, but I hated it in the right way, if you know what bitch tears mean.
This game is seriously frightening! The sense of dread builds slowly up until the first enemy you encounter, then goes too 100% and stays there. I've never actually felt claustrophobic in a video game until I played this. This game will also deceive you and lull you into a false sense of security at times only to knock you on your butt when you least expect it. The use of 3D audio ties the whole experience together. 9.8/10
Love the game, but the UI does not scale correctly on 21:9 aspect ratio (3440x1440). UI and letters are cut off. Any chance this can be fixed for the next update?
Ok....this game....is hands down one of the most amazing experiences I had in a game in a long....long time. The amount this game messes with your head at certain parts is just pure delight. This game gives me a dread that no other horror game can replicate. It encloses all around you and gives you no escape. It's wonderful in all of it's aspects.
Please give this game a try. It's only 10 bucks. How can you say no!?
I've played through this game several times, and I still have no idea how exactly Sotiris is supposed to work, sometimes I can look away for semi-long periods of time, and other times I turn my back for a second, and I get caught immediately. It gets REALLY annoying in the room to the right where the boxes change position after you grab the eye (or get nothing) since I'm walking blindly around in a new layout (which I still don't know somehow).
Usually I try a stare at Sotiris for as long as I can and only turn around when necessary, but when I turn around, it moves, I have NO idea where it is. I know there's a light static that plays whenever you're near it, but it's really hard to hear and once you get a little bit away you can't really hear it anymore. How can I tell where Sotiris has moved? Am I doing something horribly horribly wrong? (probably)
When you look away for at least a second Sotiris will teleport within a closer radius to you. The entire time you are in the room with him that radius is slowly shrinking and it shrinks fast if you are not looking at him. He emits a 3D looping static sound that get's higher pitch when you're looking in his direction to let you know where he is.
It seems as though there's a range for him staying in a spot because I walked away staring at him and when I got far enough away he disappeared and moved somewhere else, is this supposed to happen?

Waited years to play this game and finally did it. It's so stylish and disorienting just like Silent Hill!

Could you please put the itch version on sale like the Steam.
No Commentary :)
I bought the game on steam. Can you add mod support?

If you're still having audio issues, just go to settings and adjust the volume either direction. It's a strange fix, but it worked for me.
MAKE MAC VERSION PLS
Not sure if you wanna try wine hq, that's how it worked for me on mac and linux.
Do you have an older version of the game? I can't get wine hq to work on the latest version.
same here, not had any luck. I can get the game to open sure but it'll glitch out and exit before long amongst a myriad of other issues.i'm wondering what sorts of difficulties there are in releasing a mac build or port? wine is particularly unstable these days also since the upgrade to 64-bit os.

Corporate arm twisting through devs, I been knowing that game.
Great game !!!
Here's another video of The Way Out! Definitely my favorite of the two Mersus Tapes. Loved the variety of environments! Here's my playthrough:
It's been a while since I've played this game, but I loved it so much I just HAD to try the Mersus Tapes! Here's my playthrough of The Wolf:

Brought this game at steam. Now i have more nightmares to enjoy. Love that! Thank You for your great work!

2.0 drawbacks:
Fog is glitched with potato graphics, makes the level unplayable:

it's like they were made to be sent down sewers
Hi,
do you have plans to port the game to macOS/Linux?
No, but you can use a wrapper program to play it on mac.
I would love to try, but Wine is a wilful beast...can I get a refund in case it won't work? In turn, I promise to provide wrapper (if it's gonna work), so other users would have easier time running it on Mac :)
Also, what minimum DirectX version required for the game?
I think DirectX 10, I think you have to go through Itch.io's sytem to refund the game I'm not sure how to do it on a personal basis.
It's not possible to run the game using wrapper on macOS then :( The latest DirectX version supported is 9.0c due to Apple not updating macOS OpenGL drivers in favour of proprietary Metal API...
Should be possible on Linux though.
If you change your mind down the road count me in for a purchase.
Hello, I have a problem with the game,
I'm sorry if this question is stupid but i can't found the save's folder, I change my computer and i don't know how i can recover my old save (nothing in steamapps/common) and the cloud doesn't work
Did you have a solution or i have to restart the game from the beginning ?
(And i'm sorry if my english is bad)
Oh i'm sorry, someone answer me in the steam community, i have found my old save, my problem is solved !!!
Hello I just purchased and started the game. For some reason, as soon as I start my character is constantly turning left. Is there a way to fix this?
This happens if a controller is plugged in but isn't being used. You need to unplug it and restart the game.
There is not controller plugged in, however, it seemed to be a driver problem. I disabled everything labeled game controller in device manager and that fixed the problem. It seems to be a common Unity problem.
P.S. Highly enjoyed the game, keep up the fantastic work.
Thanks for the feedback. I might do what I did with Spooky's and just disable all controller support by default so this doesn't happen and those who are using a controller can turn it on.
Where can I buy the soundtrack ?

thanks !
Im running into a bug in the train station
Following flipping the final switch, the train will pass by but stop just short of the pair of shoes at the edge. I was informed that the doors in front of the shoes are meant to open, but they simply wont </3. I'm stuck in the train station for now.
Any advice is greatly appreciated :)
You can leave the room and go back and it should fix the issue.
tysm!! :D

He emits a 3D looping static sound that get's higher pitch when you're looking in his direction to let you know where he is.
Does he actually have to be on screen in order for it to count as looking at him, or is it okay if you can't see him behind the boxes?
As long as he's in front of you, the boxes won't technically block your sight of him because the programming is very simple.
It seems as though there's a range for him staying in a spot because I walked away staring at him and when I got far enough away he disappeared and moved somewhere else, is this supposed to happen?
Eventually you'll be far enough away (past the draw distance) where he know's you can't see him even if you're technically looking in his direction.
