Thanks for all the screen tearing.  Oh and the complete lack of controller support.  Great job.

Damn shame the controller support isn't better.  Can't even invert Y axis on camera.  Also can't turn off the tiny aim reticule circle in the middle of the screen.  I hate that.  Kills immersion for me.

I figured it out.  The photos really throw people off because they don't first see the numbers of the one photo are of the side of the combination instead of the actual combination.  That puzzle really does ruin the experience and immersion of the game.  I ended up looking it up on youtube then just watched them play to the end since the immersion was already ruined for me.  Puzzles like these ruin horror games these days.  I highly suggest removing that puzzle or making the protagonist say "huh, if I line up those side numbers, I should get a good chunk of the combination" or something similar to clue in the player more so they also don't have to alt-tab out and break their immersion.

Yeah I got stuck at this part of the game too.  Makes me very frustrated when I have to alt tab out of a game to figure out what in the hell I am doing wrong.  Breaks immersion and ruins the experience entirely.  So where is this key at?  I've been running around for countless hours with nothing to show for it.

Just curious but are you a fan of The Forest?  I just beat that game for a second time.  October can't come soon enough because the sequel
"Sons of The Forest" releases sometime in Oct.

No worries, no rush.  If you ever decide to throw in a radio station or need voice actors or public domain/copyright free materials for it, just hit me up.  I'd be willing to help out.  Especially for the watchtower night shift idea ;)

That fixed it!  Invert Y axis worked this time.  Saved and shut down game, restarted game to see if it was still working and it indeed was.  I can't thank you enough for making this work for controller fully.  I really think you got a great game on your hands and should definitely upload it for sale on Steam in the future when your vision of the game is complete.  Some personal suggestions of mine for it...

1. Smoother navmesh for less jittery movement in-game.

2. Watchtower duty ( incorporate a night-shift job at a watchtower, where you can witness creepy things happening at night.  Have a spotlight you could aim and point at things moving in the dark.  Have things you can do in the watchtower: A small TV playing Night of the Living Dead or some other public domain horror movies, a handheld videogame with tetris to play, a dart board, a wildlife magazine to read, a radio with a pubic radio station of some crazy conspiracy guy who talks about the land and sightings on the land.  Any other immersive things a watchtower guard would do.

3. More cryptids to see: Wendigo, Giant troll, Mothman, Bigfoot etc.

4. Bike trail + Mountain bike for getting around fast (could also incorporate some intense chase sequences with it)

5. Underground bunkers to explore

I personally would love the watchtower night shift.  After playing Firewatch and Do You Copy I've been fiending an interactive watchtower horror experience with immersive things to do inbetween the scary bits.

Maybe some of these things are in the game already?  I have no idea, as I just started playing it, but you definitely have something great here, and would love to see this turn into a full paid experience and would definitely buy a copy on steam (if and when that would happen of course).  Do you have more plans for the game or plan on releasing on steam in the future?  If so I could help with finding voice actors, public domain content to use etc.  I do these things currently for my audio dramas and my 24/7 music streams I have on youtube, twitch and dlive.  Shoot me an email if you like:  Brandomanmods@protonmail.com

Deleted both the old download and the settings/save files from appdata (just to rule it out), downloading new version and will report back.  Thanks!

Okay so I found the save and settings folder in appdata/local, completely deleted it, redownloaded the game, then tried again, and it simply does not work.  The invert y axis setting does not work.  It does not save.  It does not affect gameplay at all.  I've done everything I could here, I've tested it multiple times.  Your invert y axis setting is broken and does not work.  I don't know what else to say.  Guess I'll look for something else to play today.  Thanks for the effort anyhow.

The new update released and has the option added.  Could you do me a favor and check to see if it's working or not for you?  It's not working at all for me, the setting doesn't work, and the creator is saying it's just a me problem lol.

Yeah man I don't know what to say.  The invert y axis setting does not save.  It's the only setting that doesn't save.  I go into settings, add the checkmark to the setting, load my game, it's not working.  I quit to main menu, go into settings, and it's unchecked again.  It's not me.  The setting isn't working.

Also the game was downloaded fine, extracted fine, no errors at all.  It isn't the download that is the problem.

Could older settings be overriding the new settings somehow?  When the game is run, where are the settings files created and stored?  I can check to see if there's old settings files stuck somewhere causing the issue. Do you think maybe because I'm using a wireless xbox series x/s controller the setting isn't saving?  That shouldn't happen though.  I'm no dummy, been a PC gamer for over 20 years.

It's odd.  I even tried running as admin with full screen optimizations disabled to see if that was causing it.  Nothing I've tried works.  The only setting that doesn't save is the invert y axis.

It's not working in the new version.  The setting doesn't save.

New version, the "invert y axis" setting isn't working.  It doesn't save the setting.

My man!  Let me know when it's available.  You could definitely make some money if you put this on Steam by the way.  If you do, I would like to request some points shop stuff as well as I am a sucker for such things.  

Is this update still coming?  I need controller to play due to health issue with my hands.  I would also love to invert Y axis option, as I'm a pilot and can't play with up is up and down is down.
