Hey, I've been trying to play this game but I've been having a lot of problems with screen freezes? The examples I have so far are the screen staying black after sleeping next to the old chymera, then while playing Hide n Pounce with the kids, and again when I tried fighting the chymera that was sleeping on the save point. Since I didn't try to save the first two times the screen froze, then when I tried to save the screen froze again, it's just been a little frustrating. Also, it seems that it's not the entire game crashing because sounds still play and it sounds like I can move, the screen just doesn't change. Do you know any way to stop the problem?

Also just a quick question about gameplay, for the timed circle attacks is the goal to make the circle as small as possible before attacking? Thanks.

Sorry you're dealing with all these issues, when I playtested it, none of these issues occurred. I wonder if it's maybe an fps issue or separate events clashing?

The only suggestion I can think of to probably fixing this bug during gameplay, would be If you can remember a map's layout and go to another map(or open the menu, scroll down, and use the "Return" function) This may fix the screen from being blacked out.

But again This shouldn't be happening. I'll try and see what could be the cause of this, I'm so so sorry for all the issues you've ran into! x.x

For the timed circle attack, yup! you're supposed to stop the circle as small as you can get it! Sorry if it wasn't clear I'll try to better communicate those next time!

If you find yourself stuck, the pre-saved files take place after each objective. (To save you have to scroll down in the menu, I know it's dumb, and ill try to rearrange the menu so the "save" option is visible!)

Thank you so much for this bit of feedback! I'll try cracking this case and patch this out as soon as I can!

I also have a few questions to ask if ya got time?

1. Do you think you could share screenshots of the areas where they tend to happen?

2. Could you also describe the exact moments when the screen freezes happened.
Like, did it go black after you selected the save option? or after you confirmed saving a file?

And with the old chymera, did it happen when you selected "Nap time!"?, after the scene with the three Zzz emotes, or after the message stating your defense rose?

3. Do you think you can try to replicate these bugs?

This might help me get an idea of what could be the cause, since it doesn't occur for me for some reason? Probably because the PC I'm using has high RAM.

Thank you for reading this, and for any info you can give me!

I don't have any screenshots atm but for now I can answer your questions. If I run into a screen freeze again I'll be sure to screenshot it.

I didn't select the save option since I figured I saved by sleeping under the moon symbol. When I beat the chymera blocking the spot under the moon symbol, the screen froze on the fight screen (but I could hear the sounds of the textboxes after the fight?) Also, this didn't happen consistently, I beat the chymera the before and it was fine. Same for the Hide n Pounce, I beat it before but when I did it again it froze (at around a third of the timer left).

For the old chymera, I selected Nap Time, got the Zzz and the defense up, but after that the screen stayed black. As with the other cases I could hear myself running across the map but I couldn't see anything.


Also thank you for telling me where the save option is, this should make the freezes much less of an issue!

you're very welcome, and again thank you so much for this valuable info!
That's super weird! logically the game should also fade back in after it fades out, I checked the events and everything.
But I might have a couple theorizes as to why this might be happening... hopefully i can fix it. It might have somethin to do with multiple background processes clashing and canceling each other out. 

And when you said it "froze" on the fight screen and during the Hide n' Pounce minigame. Did it go black? or was the screen just not moving? or did both happen?

The screen didn't go black, it just wasn't moving.
