Just found Unleash recently and it's been fun so far for a relatively simple game. I will admit I am struggling to get past the Vipers Moan, as I'm stuck trying to figure out the password, so far my only clue is that Saturday's Brew sounds familiar to the bouncer, but still won't let me pass. I can't think of anything else that might work. Any hints or suggestions would be helpful and greatly appreciated.
If I remember right, there's two possible passwords.
both are warm hard things that start with the letter c!
One of them is a horny answer and the other is a lot more mundane.
I'm stuck on layer 4, I've tried using any form of candle and nothing.
candle with nothing before or after it should work, sorry its givin you trouble
for what its worth cock also works there
What's the password for layer 4? I'm seriously drawing a blank
Hint: What was a item used to read a book in the dark before there was lights?
I give up. Whats the password to Vipers Moan? Man I must one stupid mothereffer or what cause i really have no clue as to what it is? Or atleast give me hint? You cant delete the comment afterwards if you dont want any spoilers here
Hint: look at the items that are in your inventory ,the answer is in one of the descriptions in "-----"
I'm stuck on Dysmorph. Is there a walkthrough?
There isn't, I'm sorry. I'll try to get one made sometime soon, there's an in-game guide for the endings if thats what you're having trouble with.
Has this guide been created yet? No idea where to get the last piece of paper, or pearl, or where the secret room is.
Sorry there isn't a guide, I got hired by Red Room Collective and have not had the time to work on personal projects.
Ah ok, congratulations on the placement though :)
Wow I just discovered this game recently and it is great. Had a lot of fun and I got all 3 endings, but I'm wondering one thing: is there a sex scene with Vinnie? I noticed he seems to have a "horny" sprite in the options test menu and he brings up how he's smoking a cigar a lot, but I can't seem to find any way in game to unlock the scene. Was it cut from the final game or am I missing something?
Congratulations on coming first! :D
Thank you! I'm very surprised but happy people enjoyed my game!
OK so. Five stars in every category, for one thing. For another, there is a piece of fan art happening here. I've been working on it five hours already, instead of moving on from this game to the next as I meant to do. I thought I'd found a pausing point, but then I moved ahead a few screens in the game, and holy F where did you get these loops oh my God the low frequencies in this one are crawling right down my back and now I don't think I'm going to stop drawing until I'm done or my right hand refuses to hold a pen any more.
I mean, good game! Is I guess what I'm trying to say here?
All the loops were made specifically for the game either by the games composer or myself!
Also, I am outrageously flattered you'd do fan art! :0o
Well don't say that until you've seen it~
I haven't drawn more than diagrams in twenty years before this.
Nine hours solid working on this. I read the description in the game, and something in the back of my mind said yes, do that, and I didn't even question the thought but just went and fetched my tablet and pens, and set to work, and did not stop. I only even managed to pause once, and that only lasted until I moved ahead in the game a little and hit the "tunnel" loop. Five seconds in, I knew I wasn't going to be able to stop again, not even for a minute, until the work was done.
But then that's entirely apropos, isn't it?
This is absolutely amazing! :0o
Do you have a twitter or a tumblr? Because with your permission I would love to show this off, and I wanna know the best way to credit you!
Thank you! I wasn't wholly displeased with how it came out, myself. ^___^
You're certainly welcome to use this drawing however you like - I claim no rights in it other than I'm probably going to hang the original on my wall. If you can use a version without the text overlay and/or a transparent background, let me know, and I'll send them along! As far as credit goes, I don't have either of those things, but if you want to say that a little alien thing drew this, and link people to my profile here on Itch, that works!
Something else I'd have liked to say about Unleash before, too! Quite aside from the game's well-turned and ample horny, I really got a kick out of the whole noir theme, and out of the way your take on it plays with the genre's tropes - I haven't read a lot of hardboiled-detective stories, but those I have read are uniformly characterized by a kind of grim humorlessness, maybe because their authors felt a lighter tone wouldn't wear well on their steely-eyed but rather despairing protagonists. It was really great to see the genre played with a wink and a grin, so thanks for that! Five stars for narrative especially doesn't feel like enough...
Really enjoyed this! I was impressed with all the detail that went into this game. All the character portraits, items, and inventory helped to bring it together. I'll have to go back and play through it again to get the other endings. Great job!
Omg this game is sooo awesome. Love all of the little details. I got ending 3 and want to try the other endings
This game is really cool! I really liked the music and thought it complemented the Noir themed story well. Good work!
