2024 August 2 update: I genuinely loved this game and i just read it for the first time in 2024 and i sounded quite mean and i swear i didn't want to sound mean
The game doesn't even give me hints on how to get the computer password! In youtube the game is sooo forgotten that there is no tutorials!
Watch the TV to get a hint on how to get the computer password.
woah coming back to itch.io and this game after a year and i have changed SO much. anyways thanks for telling me how to get a hint i was stuck
Welcome back! Yes, you can now even unlock Backrooms: The Lore skins by finishing Bit Jail :D
How do i get out of stuff? (like beds, Chairs, etc)
On android press the button on bottom right of your screen.
On standalone and WebGL just press escape key or right mouse button as it’s hinted on your screen (RMB = Right Mouse Button, ESC = Escape Key)
ok thanks
I jumped off the roof the first time I played the game because I was so confused XD
Lol
Won't let me grab the wire for the computer, the drawer gets in the way, I ask you to move the cord more the front of the drawer.
I ask you to close that drawer and crouch
Ah, I forgot I made this comment, thank you for responding, I figured out how to crouch, I feel like an idiot.
But I'm sorry if my comment appeared to be rude in any way.
You’re welcome :)
5/5 amazing game.
:o just saw that this was submitted 2 seconds before the deadline
Yeah, so intense! I thought for a moment that it was late. But I guess my luck did its job…
I’m glad that you enjoyed it :)
SPOILERS AHEAD ! IT'S A GREAT GAME DON'T SPOIL IT FOR YOUSELF. The game is incredible, funny, and interesting. I played it 4 times but I could not complete it. First time I died of virus lol. Second time the screwdriver disappeared for some reason and I could not turn on the AC. (I had everything done before and I just finished the bear puzzle and when I went to sleep the screwdriver completelly disappeared. Then on the 4th one I could not enter the password from the posters to the pc. It said wrong every time (I tried every possible combination). 4th time there was no screwdriver again : / I really enjoyed it and I'm very curious of the ending. I will give it a go again later.
Thanks for posting. I’m really happy that you enjoyed Bit Jail!
I haven’t seen anyone lost the screwdriver! Can you tell me where did you sleep? Try sleeping with empty inventory next time.
Computer had a bug in the first build, so I uploaded a patch yesterday. Go to main menu and see if there is a version text at the left bottom saying 1.0 1. If there wasn’t any text then download the game again and see if it’s fixed.
Every passcode in game is randomly generated so replaying might fix some bugs!
how do you clear your inventory ? So I think I slept on the closest sofa/chair to the stairs. I slept a couple of times in a short amount of time and I haven't even realized I lost the screwdriver. When I went to the screwdriver converter it would tell me that the screwdriver changed to minus (just like if I had it) but there was no icon for it and opening the AC didn't work. I will give it a try again. Also a cool easter egg you can add is when you wait for a couple days the owner comes home.
You can’t clear your inventory, I meant to sleep without anything in inventory. However, I can’t lose the screwdriver or anything when I sleep (I even slept multiple times just like you said).
Did you lose the screwdriver after you converted it? If yes, that message from the converter was normal because all converter items send the same message after converting (like the oven or waters).
I say that you download the game again (to have the new patch) and try again, I’m sure you’ll like the ending :>
Your easter egg idea is very good! I might put it in next update…
where is the fucking wrench
It’s on the second floor; But you can’t get to it unless you looked other floors carefully.
First of all, thanks for jam reviews and 15+ downloads on the first day! I’m really honored. I’ve uploaded a patch for game’s current bugs.
Detailed change log:
Update Bit Jail here; Enjoy!
my fav game of the jam so far but i got stuck and my next logical step was jumping off the roof
Lmao thank you even though I screwed up at the last and didn’t put the lose menu for suicide but there was a rage quit button just for these cases :D
I’ll make a patch in a few hours to fix those bugs along with a linux build…
By the way, where are you stucked? I won’t spoil the puzzles but I’ll give you indirect help.
yea i wanna give it another go later, i couldnt figure out how to power up the pc. i got one of the 2 keys for the main door
I’ve uploaded the patch; I suggest that you update. If you need computer password watch news more carefully! and If you can’t find the power cable, search more and use left ctrl to crouch.
Ya know, i was watching knews and i have no idea!!
The news says “See what color pink looks like in the night”! I give you a tip that you need to find the ONLY place in the game that has the color pink and sit on a chair or sleep in a bed so that it turns to night and you can see what happens ;)
Thanks!! just escaped ! love the ending!
Here’s a list of known bugs so that you don’t have to repeat:
This post will be updated with new bugs which you report or I’ll discover.
Nice game !
