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!

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)

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.

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 :)

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…
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.

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 ;)
