Haunting. Extremely well-executed horror. I especially want to give a shout-out to the sound design, because it truly elevated the story. Certain parts in the late game would not have been the same without SFX. Make sure to play this with sound ON.
Hey, don't worry about it! It isn't a real update if you don't accidentally unleash a new bug while cleaning things up, haha! I've tested the new build, and I have good news... Nico is finally free from the groundhog day loop they were stuck in! Thank you again for the timely bug fix! I'm glad it sounds like my detailed report was able to help you figure things out a bit faster! I'd be happy if I was somehow able to contribute to fixing not only this game, but some of your other games too! Hopefully this will be the last time you hear from me in this comments section fr fr, but I'll be sure to let you know if I somehow manage to wind up in another timeloop!
I saved, did the Gamble option, didn't win, returned to the main menu upon seeing the result (i.e. either the dialogue that says nothing happened, or the dialogue saying I won 10,000 Chollars), and then reloaded the save from the main menu. Another thing I'll note is that the sfx from the previous dialogue (from before returning to the main menu) tends to play again after initiating a new dialogue after reloading.
i.e. if I lost at gambling, when I reload and hit the Gamble option again, it'll play the sad losing sfx. And if I were to exit to the main menu during one of Nico's dialogue options, the sfx for Nico's text appearing on screen will play even if Nico isn't actually talking in the new scene. It only plays for a second, though, not for the full duration of the sfx.
The eternal day is 10/27, and I didn't save during dialogue, but instead on the Casino screen - I've since tried saving in other locations to see if that changed anything, but it didn't seem to affect the loop at all.
I DID return to an earlier save a while back, as I got Ending 6 along the way to Samson's ending, so I reloaded to before I cleaned the final area (my room), so I could return to my main goal after finishing my side goal. I completely exited out of the game between getting Ending 6 and going back to an earlier save, so I don't... THINK that's related? But it could be? Other than that, I mostly stick to one active save slot - though I cycle through which save slot that is (i.e. my first save is in slot 1, then my next save is in slot 2, and I keep going until I'm back at slot 1 again, at which point I cycle through all the slots again)
I've exited the game completely, and it hasn't fixed the problem with the day not advancing :( I think the save is just borked now.
Hey so......... Me again, unfortunately. This time, I seem to have managed to create an infinite day. No matter what I try to do, the day won't end. Every +1 day option, just... does not advance the day. If I try to do one of the options that should take multiple days to complete, it will remain stuck on the same day's dialogue - not advancing either the day, or the event's progress.
I'm not at all certain as to what caused this... All I can tell you, is I won the jackpot at the casino, and the day didn't end. I won the jackpot by saving/loading until I won it, so maybe that did something?
On the bright side, I'm sure my family appreciates the infinite amount of chollars I've earned them in this eternal night!
Oh, I see! Yeah, some clarification on the A/N would definitely have helped me understand there was still something I needed to do before my depression nap haha.
I hope you were able to figure out what caused the bug of him reappearing, and fix it without it giving you too much of a headache! Aside from this bug at the very tail end of this run, I had a ton of fun with the game! The characters/dialogue pulled me right in, and the money earning+time management factor is *chef's kiss!*
((IF ANYONE IS READING ALONG & HASN'T DONE MILO'S ENDING, I'M GOING TO START TALKING ABOUT SPOILERS HERE))
Also ahhhh, looks like I missed the convo with Ms. Leith...! I got the dialogue about not having enough information, and she wasn't there when I looked around the map... The last leith-related casino conversation I had was with her rival who was talking smack - I assume after hearing that, the next time I saw Ms. Leith she would have given me the necessary dialogue to hear for Nico to realize what to do with the bones. So close, and yet so far hahaha (Unless the leith dialogue chain is way longer than I'm aware!)
I really wouldn't have minded running through the game again, doing a backyard + casino yolo sprint to make sure I didn't miss any leith dialogue this time around, but the fact you went above & beyond to make a build for me to make sure I could get the ending? That's really touching, thank you so much!! The ending was amazing (the emotional reunion <3) and made me really want to go do Samson's ending so I can find out what the heck happened to him in Milo's! I'm really glad I was able to experience it for myself!
((I STOP TALKING ABOUT SPOILERS HERE))
I'll be running through the other endings now (can I just say I'm stunned by how quickly you pushed an update fixing everything I talked about?? please treat yourself to something nice, you've earned it!) so I'll let you know if I notice anything funky! If you don't hear from me again, just assume everything ran clean as a whistle!
AH, I MADE A mistake. It was Ending 2, not Ending 5, so sorry! They kind of look like flipped versions of each other, so I guess my brain got confused... Very sorry for the mistake!!
To clarify what happened:
- Blood moon, said yes to Milo, locked into his ending
- Said NO to the depression nap option **immediately after** the conversation with Milo, so I could make sure I didn't miss anything I wanted to do
- The next day, looked all over the map, was satisfied I didn't miss anything, so I did some random money making task (I think it was the last step of cleaning the backyard?)
- Made a save when it prompted the depression nap the next day
- Took the depression nap, got ending TWO (so sorry again), so I reloaded my save figuring I'd missed something
- Loaded back in at the casino (not where I had saved), a bit confused but the day was the next day so I figured the game was treating it like I had said no to the depression nap
- But then Milo was at the backyard again, and was repeating the same dialogue I had already seen.
I hope I didn't cause you to needlessly look into the gambling ending with my mistake ;v; Thank you for the quick response, I hope my clarification helps...!
I got the eternal love end my first try, and I'm sure the other endings are wonderful, but I'm just going to leave it at that because who needs anything else when you have eternal love <3
Saving and/or endings don't seem to be working quite right - I received a A/N that said that selecting "yes" would lock me into Milo's ending, so after that scene I made a save and chose to depression nap to the ending. That just gave me Ending 5, not Milo's ending, so I reloaded the save... and the flag for Milo's ending was no longer up - he acted like I hadn't spoken to him before. D:
The year? 2023. This game? I played it. It was good. Made me tear up a little. Rafa was my favorite -- impetuous little thing with a heart of gold as she was. As such, the ending where you give her what she needs is obviously my favorite - although all of the endings felt nice, hers feels like the "true" ending.
The minigame was fun! The most memorable moment was when I tried to give the shy person a cute animal onesie and they were SO mad at me and stormed off. Realized why when I did my playthrough where I failed to get any teeth - poor thing!
I'll have to go play the other game in this universe now :)
My favorite character was defnitely Julia. I've got a thing for characters with a few screws loose, after all. Ending 2 was my favorite, although I wish there was a certain variation haha.
I keep replaying this game over and over again. It's so much fun, even with the limited enemies, cards, and events. Please consider turning this into a full game!
This is... a masterpiece. I truly enjoyed myself from beginning to end - I couldn't even bring myself to be sad it was over, the ending graphics and final scene were so cute!
I will note there was a minor bug with the Berserker Splash Axe skill, though - sometimes the second excess damage attack wouldn't trigger. I'm not entirely sure what causes this - I think most of the attacks it didn't trigger on were critical hits, so maybe a bug with the critical damage calculation...? It wasn't game breaking, just made battles last a few hits longer than they would have otherwise.
