How do you scan the files? I see this sometimes in games I know are safe but I would love to know how to scan these files in the future to avoid this issue :( <3

I AM SO GLAD TO HEAR THIS! I honestly adored the concept of the game and was hoping this would become something bigger to support you on :) If it's okay with you, are you open to people offering to help work on the game? If so, is there anywhere someone can reach out to you and apply for a position on the team?
Just played through a really large part of the game on Steam before realizing I had to reset when I realized I needed zero deaths to see my pookie lawrence /lh im totally fine guys i say sobbing on the floor. This is REALLY good so far, and I wanted to post about it on the page I found it on :) While it's kinda hard at first to realize the different steps to take for different results and endings, some tutorials have led me to piecing together some new options and endings on my own :) Normally I get frustrated when I need to look up a tutorial because I like trying to go through the process of finding it out without outside help, but honestly it was still enjoyable because I was moreso pushed into the right direction than just taking an easy way through it :)
The routes are all so unique, I am honestly so giddy to complete all of them :) Derek's definitely the most uncomfortable; with having people like you and figuring out quickly who you can and can't trust, along with some of the most genuinely interesting characters in the entire game (Tom, Jacqueline, and Machete my beloveds oh i hold them so very near and dear to me id sacrifice Derek for them in a HEARTBEAT) and a nod to the previous Legacies that shows a certain man paying eternally for his curiosity in humans at their most desperate, this was the first route and probably the one I tried the hardest on, and god was it worth it. During the entire route I felt uncomfortable and desperate, I felt genuine dread whenever Derek or any of the other masks (excluding my unproblematic king Machete. probably unproblematic idk) showed up because I knew there was no way to escape them.
Celia my beloved. I was iffy about her route at first because I was like "damn, only one room?" BUT OH BOY WAS I WRONG, her route and her as a character was so interesting to me, she's probably my favorite person to develop a trauma bond with. She isn't just a person with bad morals, she's lonely and venerable and, when you choose the right options, caring and borderline reliant on you not only for company but for her happiness. When I got her ending telling me I'm all she has and how almost desperate she sounded to keep me from dying I had to pause and put my head in my hands because oh my poor wife. Oh my wife. She actually had me sympathizing with her and wanted to choose the kind options because I knew she'd actually appreciate it and reciprocate it, unlike Derek or Mason where it would have been abused, she felt the most human, which is a really important thing for me as a player. She's a bad person, but a good woman to fall in love with. Whenever I want a route I can enjoy and play for fun instead of terror I go for hers :)
MASON. OH HIS WAS THE SCARIEST LMAO, Derek's was uncomfortable, it was so scary all I could feel was discomfort, while Mason's I was so scared all I could feel was dread. Aside from making me have like 2 hours of dread at the fact I had to delete all my progress so I could see my pookie bear in his route, something about his route feels the most realistic, which made it the most terrifying to me. Not only is he a Canadian who isn't very nice, this man feels reasonably terrifying. He doesn't flaunt his wealth, he doesn't have his own trauma-bonded ending, he tries to give me a chance with supplies because he wants to watch me fail and not know how to survive, and that is terrifying to me. Plus, what you did with Lawrence is probably my favorite nod to the old Legacies. Love demon Strade, but forever undead Lawrence? I'm licking that plate clean because you cooked with that. I was constantly struggling to survive, and after awhile I realized how scary it was because Mason being the most realistic, I really wouldn't know how to survive him. With Derek I can always find the friends and survive my little pony friendship is magic style, Celia I can just fall in love with, but Mason is the most real to me, and that made him the most terrifying :)
FOX. OH FOX MY BELOVED OLD MAN. I can't say too much without spoilers but GOD I love that man, I can fix him (i say while probably accidentally making him so much worse in the process). The entire time I was heart eyes until I got really scared and actually had to stop playing to take a mental break because what do you mean my pookie became this? My twink?? What do you mean he isn't lame and he's actually so scary now and I'm not fixing him??? By the time I got to his route, I began to actually have a good feel for the game and start trying to think about what I need to do to survive instead of just trying to make good choices. What a route to do it on AND FIGURE IT OUT ON LOL HHH....his route broke my heart for what he became but also quickly fall in love with him all over again. The DEFINITION of unconditional love because had he been anyone else I'd be too scared to pay attention to his route lol.
I honestly have so few complaints about the game. I would have liked it if there was a way to get some help with getting new endings/making new choices, it's honestly so easy to forget what you have and haven't done that at times I would get a bit confused at what to do next. Also, for Mason's route, I would get ideas like "OH I can do this to survive" and the option wouldn't be available </3 Using the blade from the knife and heating it with the fire to close the wound he gave me, breaking into his cabin and taking some pelt to keep warm, looking through cupboards for food, setting a trap somewhere else outside for Mason (or food!) to stumble into, etc! Some ideas I felt so smart for thinking of but weren't options </3 I know you have more games in mind for the future, and honestly I think it'd be super fun to really push the idea for survival like that if possible :) I wanna feel so smart for the maybe 3 survival tactics I know actually know of because it def isn't marking maps or knowing which way North is. Maybe even a secret way to interact with things instead of just having "Search Area" as an option, kind of making us look around and finding things on our own on a time limit would be terrifying but fun in concept. You have a really amazing way of pushing survival in a lot of these routes and making us WORK for it, I'd just like some more chances for it to come up in future games if possible <3
So sorry for the long rant its 2 am and this is a special interest i do fear. Thank you for making a good game :) Super excited to support your future works <3
I don't want to give it an unfair rating but I legit couldn't play the game. I ran into a bug that wouldn't let me get the item I bought, wouldn't let me leave, and when I tried to explore and see if that could solve it I fell out of the world and had to close the game. Has anyone else ran into the issue of the gas station worker not working properly and being unable to leave?
Super glad to hear the game is still in development <3 Do you guys know when you could expect an update to come out? :0 And how much progress has been made; the first 3 chapters itself were very long /pos so I'm kinda curious to know how development is going (like if the update will be 2 chapters and it'll bring you guys to 5 out of say 7 chapters completed)! I also wanted to ask if you're accepting anyone who can dedicate more time to help with writing and script work of the game and if so, where people could apply to help :) /nf
I liked this! It's short, but I got a good feel and intro about what will be going on :) I had a pretty easy time figuring out the controls, including some that weren't needed, and I really like how this leaned so much into the old horror movie vibe, I was blown away by the intro presented :) I'm looking forward to the full release!
I heard a few people talking about this and I thought, hey, why not give this game a shot? I wasn't expecting much from the demo admittedly, I just ran to the downloads to see the hype, and oh. my god??? I fear this isn't being hyped up ENOUGH.
I am truly at a loss for words right now. Not only do we get voice acting, ANIMATIONS, amazing CG's, horror moments that actually made me scared /pos, we also get a cutie patootie in the candy store?? I miss my wife Kevin but man does my new girl husband take the cake. Everything that was poured into this you can tell was poured into by people who genuinely care about this project, from the writing to the art to how they mimicked the humor of spooky month perfectly and knew when to make things scary, I felt genuinely immersed and had to see if SirPelo worked on this because this is the best game about Bob I think I have ever seen, and I don't say that with a grain of salt. I have been waiting for more FC updates (another bob game where i dont know if i can say the full title /lh) and as much as I enjoyed that one, this one genuinely blew me away and I am still trying to claw my way for enough ways to express that, because even this doesn't show how incredible this is.
And this is only the DEMO? It isn't even chapter ONE? My GOODNESS brother, I beg you to not ever give up on this game. I have so few games I genuinely keep checking for updates, and this is one of them, because this is incredible. I beg you put this behind a pay wall, I played it for free but I wish I paid money for it and may go back so I can lol, this is beyond amazing and everyone should be recognized for how well they did. From the writers, to the artists, to the voice actors and the developers; you made something genuinely amazing. Please don't give up on this project, because I genuinely think you can make something the entire fandom can recognize as a classic for the franchise of Spooky Month.
You all did so amazing, and I am so excited to see future updates about the game <3
I'm having a similar issue. I haven't done all the body types, but I've played through I think every option possible and I'm def still missing something. A small delusional part of me wonders if I need to pander to Hyugo since there are a few options(??) to, but that probably isn't the case lol. I don't know what else it could be </3
Okay after playing the 2.3 update, I am genuinely so in love with the progress. More Crowe content for my little heart, trust I was stressed with EVERY choice I made after I got my first ending.
The dialogue was updated; if you already played PLEASE pay attention because it is SOOOO WORTH READING AGAIN <3 The noticeable improvement in dialogue (that previously I had a weeee just a SMALL issue with) flows so much more naturally, and the extra parts that were included just made it all come together and had me kicking my feet and giggling or screaming and going back when I made the wrong choice :')
Not to mention the EXTRA SPRITES AND ART UPDATE???? MOOOORE FEED ME MOOOORE PLEAAAASE Q_Q This is one of the very few games I check for updates for frequently and get mad when itch doesn't instantly give them to me, you're telling me I was 11 hours late?? Blasphemy. Itch will hear from my lawyer.
I'm super hard to please with VN's and with games in general, I have my bubble of what I like and it's hard for me to include more in that--but this quickly wiggled it's way in :) If you're skeptical, give it a chance, because I want to go through and get every updated ending. I noticed "oh wow, I didn't get this Sol scene earlier--OH MY GOD THAT'S WHY.", so I'm very determined to go back and try to see everything I missed <3 I love that we actually get more Crowe content, I hope we can get more Sol content soon too--my routes were very Crowe focused, so I haven't gone through to see if I can get more Sol focused ones, but I am REALLY liking the development of this :)
I am also hoping for merch drops. Makeship plushies if you can hear me makeship plushies if you can hear me--I need to drain my wallet on this game in every way possible. I honestly can't gush and praise about this enough. AMAZING update and one that was worth the wait <3 I am already really looking forward to the next :) I hope to follow the production of this game until the end <3
The writing/playthrough is very similar to Boyfriend To Death! Not a bad thing because I love BTD, but that was something I noticed while playing :) It isn't bad, nor is the price, because they did put in actual work and effort to make the game and all the art for it, so luckily if it isn't for you then you don't lose out on more than two dollars for their efforts :)
The game is fun enough! I gave it a shot and I think the fast paced writing and occasional option bugs personally kinda steers me in a direction of being glad I tried it but probably won't play through every route, but I do like what I ended up paying for! I would hope to see more in the future, maybe a YKMET thing where it's a revamp of the routes/game so we can see how far they've come as creators and devs and artists, but that may just be me wanting a bit more out of this, lol.
What I appreciate is it isn't THAT easy to die in game. In BTD I was STRUGGLING through Strade's route, and I was really grateful the options were less confusing in this game. Some options felt a bit rushed, like how I convinced him he gave me a booboo and he broke up with me lol, and sometimes the characters were hard to understand, but for a first time game it's all REALLY well done and something I do really hope we can see more of in the future. Because seeing the teeth route was very disturbing in such a unique way, it played on a fear I didn't know I had==I would really like to see some more horror elements if there's a future for the game :)
So, while it didn't end up being something I personally can see myself playing again, I am still glad I tried it and would encourage you too as well if this is something up your alley and you're looking for something similar to BTD! It's only 2 dollars so to anyone complaining it's okay if it ends up being something you don't want to play again, you're just supporting their efforts :)
Hi :D I really liked the demo and the small snippets I got to see about your character as well as the options we got to make and what they would show us about him, I ended up playing the entire game and all the options, lol, and I really liked what I saw :) There's a lot I like about the game that other comments have gone over and I don't want it to feel like a copy and paste of what they're saying, but honestly it was enough to have me really interested and keep it in my library. (I also feel like another game/character inspired this one by the content warning page which drew me in, because I have been LOOKING for more games with what was in there sobsob) It's one of the few games I make sure to keep checking for updates :)
I really want to follow the further development; and if you're ever in need of a free writer and/or a tester for what has been further developed, I'd be more than excited to offer to try and help move development along and take some weight off your shoulders if interested :)
Hope you're doing well, and I hope the development continues to go well! (Also I tried looking at your ToyHouse link on Tumblr(?) and it didn't work D: Just in case that wasn't already known <3)
I really hope we can romance Kevin. Me and my friend got so hyped when he said we can hang out next week--he could have just said no, but he ended up wanting to make time for us :) This was actually my introduction to Spooky Month, and I hope the next update gives us some more Kev, he seems so sweet, bless.
edit: fixed a few typos
!!MINOR DAY 4 SPOILERS AHEAD, DO NOT READ IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED A BIT!!
AMAZING UPDATE!! I went back to see how my options affected the game and seeing me encourage Ren actually had an impact on what happened genuinely made my jaw drop. i went back and saw it was different--and I LOVE that. I don't like Teo and I chose some bad options only actually half expecting consequences for my actions, but to actually see them happen had me sat in my chair staring at my screen for so long, lol. To say I was shocked was an understatement. I wish I could have stayed the night with him but it led to me getting main menu'd, lol.
I went back and chose some very different options, like encouraging Teo's behavior on the day 4 update and even being like "oh yeah no hes pookie ren, haha" and I half expected to see that result in bad consequences, but seeing Ren ask if he needs to be more like Teo really made me think; well shit. Maybe he's going to try and observe some of his habits anyways, that's the only reason I can really see for Ren not TWEAKING out, lol.
The whole closet scene with Ren had me kicking my feet. I hope for more instances in the future we can do something like that--as someone who's Demiromantic + Demisexual I REALLY appreciate nothing is being forced on us. Like he genuinely respects our boundaries and doesn't want to force anything and even takes a step back--I was SWOONING.
One thing I do really hope to see is more save slots. We have a lot of options which trust me, I love SOO much, but 6 save slots with only 4 files per slot isn't enough for the 4 days we have so far, it honestly wasn't even enough for the 3, even when I tried getting the quicksave involved :'') I need to go through and play it more a few times because. I accidentally played it streamer mode enabled my first time and had no chance of seeing how nsfw he could be when I really tried HHHHHHH MY FAULT MY FAULT, but yeah ! More save options would be great for a future update, esp for people who like to go back (like me hehe) and see different options leading to different things.
But this was a REALLY good update in whole. I even noticed the dialogue flowed a lot more naturally and the characters seemed to talk like actual people most the time, and it was refreshing to see the small changes made that made a really big impact on the game as a whole; it helped make it really enjoyable :) Really looking forward to the next one!!
I'm interested in playing, but I see some concern floating around about both the game itself and the MC -- would the demo remain 15 dollars or would it be brought down when the full game is released? And will the MC have customizable pronouns/gender options available? Thank you sm in advance <3 Good luck in developing :)
I really liked the game :) I only did one play through so far; the writing? Resurrected me from my writers block, gave me motivation to write again, all of the characters and the way they speak and interact had my writers brain just going brrr /pos. I can't think of anything I disliked; I was warned ahead of time and bOY OH BOY did day 2 deliver for some warnings in the nsfw download /lh, and I liked the bit of lore we got to get about ourselves and the school/city. I loved the amount of options we got; after being traumatized by games where we get hardly any options /lh this was REALLY amazing, had me twirling my hair and giggling every time an option to make Sol jealous came up. and i regretted it almost instantly after when crowe came back into play and i worried for his safety i was in tears and invested lol. There were only a few times I was like "oh man I would have liked having an option there", and honestly that's mostly due to me getting excited about the characters and trying to scrape the barrel for a few more seconds of interaction with them, lolol.
SUPER excited for the next update !! this is one of the few games ill have to learn how to continue updating. this is my first laptop and my first time downloading files HHHH, so, congrats on being the first game to officially have my attention and making me wanna learn how to keep up with the future updates :D very excited for future updates, hope you're taking care in the meantime <3
When you boot up the game go to the third line that's on the side, it should be the one that gives 3 rows in red and 5 red sliders ! Go all the way to the last row, and click on the option above the WHITE one currently picked!! I realized after translating it was in Korean. I see someone downvoted your comment and still didn't help so I wanted to out of pure spite instead of deleting the game and taking the L like I would have normally lol, so now we can both play it :) have fun
Hihi :) I don't know if you'll see this since you're busy on your new game, but I just wanted to comment on how much I've surprisingly enjoyed your games. I'm a very sensitive person to all things horror and I thought I'd hate BTD, but something just clicked with it. Maybe some unresolved childhood trauma /lh, but Strade's route led me down a rabbit hole I never expected to fall down. The way you write these characters is genuienly so interesting and captivating, no matter how depraved some of them may be I just sit and stare at how all these characters are, their motives, how they justify what they do--it's something I never previously enjoyed, but you managed to make it immersive and something that I've been clinging onto ever since I found it. The characters are all complex in some way, and the new game you're working on has me so genuienly excited to see what more we can see from Strade and Ren in the YKMET release.
This is one of the few games that pushed me to getting a laptop that can support games, and I'm really glad I did. I haven't finished all of them, probably not even close to understanding the whole story presented to us with all the characters, lol, but I am absolutely looking forward to even more. Good luck on the development of YKMET, words alone can't express how excited I am to see this game come back to life, and I hope it get's the recognition it deserves.
(P.S., if you have any availible slots for beta testers when the new game is ready for testing I'd love to apply if wanted <3)
I had to make an account to comment on this.
I'm very lucky this was availible for desktop playing because I have an old chromebook that barely runs anything, this was genuienly the best game experience I've ever had. I've played a handfull of dating sims but genuienly nothing compares to this one--maybe it's the love I already have for the character that makes me biased but you manage to capture his personality PERFECTLY and the little moments that kept popping up had me giggling and twirling my hair the entire time. I legit forgot to play the game for a bit because I just wanted to flirt with this man lol, THAT'S how good it was. Everything was so creative--when it was dark and the text was like his computer I had to wake up my best friends to show them both, lol, I was genuienly blown away by this. Everything about it had me excited for a game for the first time in AGES. I literally told myself yesterday I wouldn't make an account on here but...here we are, haha (this is a good thing :) ), I genuienly want to follow the development and support it however I can. This is one of the few game's I'd want to spend money on to make sure you can all finish it, this is the best thing I've seen in a long while :) Keep up the amazing work guys <3
