itch.io

Amazing game, reminded me 100% of the "Don't Escape" series. If that was your inspiration, nicely done, my friend. I love all your games so far.

PS: The downloadable version is missing the "Achievements" tab at the top.

I need help getting ending #6. The one before the true ending in the order.

The rest I've managed them all. Here's my quick guide. If you know any better ways to do these, please share with me.

Quick solution to wires:
1 -> Red, 2 -> Blue, 3 -> Yellow, 4 -> Green, 5 -> Purple

===== ENDINGS GUIDE ======
------- SPOILERS HEAVY ---------

Ending #0 - YOU STAYED: At the end after talking to everyone and having the backroom door event done, click the main door at the right and lock it to stay in

Ending #1 - ALL ALONE: From the very beginning just click the door at the end and go alone.

Ending #2 - LOST TOGETHER: Bring at least 1 person (or animal) with you but make them be useless enough to not reach the destination.

Easiest way to do this is to not bother making friendship with anyone and once you get the door event, open it, it's a dog. Go to him, offer some food first, then pet him, then click him a third time and pick the option to bring him with you. Then proceed to leave the diner.

Ending #3 - CRASHED: Make sure to bring Bruna as she helps with the path. (gotta make a good friendship with her and later when the power is back up check station 94 or 92 for a hint on the destination then talk with her about it) but do not bring neither Juan nor Ethan, as they help you avoid the creature chasing you, it will cause you to crash and burn.

Ending #4 - BARE MINIMUM: Hear the tip on the radio about the destination (Station 94 and 92) and convince Juan to go with you. Only him. The Dog is allowed to come too.

Ending #5 - THE LAST TASTY SUPPER: Do the same instructions as the Ending #7 down there (don't forget the dog) but when talking to Maggie at the end, ACCEPT THE SANDWICHES. Caspar will be heartbroken and will move on. If you go through the backdoor and to his tombstone, it will say it's an worse state than before. Then proceed to leave. Juan will protest but be insistent and he will lose a star but still accept.

Ending #6 - ???: (The one i need help with, but apparently involves bringing Ethan, Edith, Juan and the dog.)

Ending #7 - THE BEST END: And most complicated one, lol.
My route was:
1) At the beginning talk to Ethan and Edith and on the "You shoot instead" pick the 3rd option to get 1st star with Ethan
2) Talk to Maggie, offer to help her, get 1st star with Maggie.
3) Talk to Bruna, be nice and ACCEPT the interview. 1st star with Bruna.
4) Talk to Caspar, tell you've talked to everyone, advance the plot
5) BEFORE GOING OUT to repair the generator, talk to Juan at the very right of the diner and tell him "Yeah best get ready for everything" 1st star with Juan.
6) Get the key with Maggie, go repair the generator and come back, instantly get a 2nd star with Maggie
7) Talk to Maggie, pick "Free dinner from a pretty lady", 3rd star Maggie.
8) Talk to Maggie AGAIN, pick "How'd you end up clear out here?!" then "No, I want to hear what happened", 4th star Maggie. Let her talk, then "Sounds like you really loved him", 5th star Maggie.
9) Go Talk to Edith and Ethan, pick "You're just on a bad trip", get 1st star Edith.
10) Talk to Ethan alone now, pick "What's it showing now?", 2nd star Ethan.
11) Talk to Ethan again, pick whatever option. First one gives you a jumpscare.
12) Go Talk to Juan, instantly get 2nd star. Pick whatever option.
13) Go listen to the radio, station 92 or 94, one will give you the hint to the destination.
14) Go talk to Edith, now alone. Pick "Ethan was out of line" for instant 2nd star. Then pick "What did you see him in the first place".
15) Go Talk to Bruna, get instant 2nd Star. then DO NOT PICK the "unplug" prompt. If you do, talk to her again and apologize.
16) Talk to her again after listening to the radio to talk about the destination. Pick "I think it would be safer with everything that's going on" for instant 3rd Star.
17) Backdoor event. Click the door and OPEN IT. The dog will come in and right then the window near Juan will break.
18) Go to the left, talk with the dog, give him food first, then pet him, then talk to him a third time to pick the option of bringing him with you.
19) Go to the window near Juan and make sure to help him patch it up.
20) Talk to Juan and then pick: "I'm going to leave soon" for instant 3rd star. Then pick "As many as I can" and then "They will carry their own weight" and then get a 4th star from Juan. Proceed to invite him despite saying "Hard difficulty" and he will join you. 
21) Talk to Ethan, then "What's up between you and Edith" then "That's one approach I guess"
22) Talk to him again and "You have very good hearing right" and "Tell him you're planning to leave" then ask him to come. Despite only having 2 stars he seems to accept it well.
23) Talk to Edith, invite her to come, and tell "We all need to go as one". She accepts.
24) Talk to Bruna, get her to come too, pick "Dont you want to know what's happening" -> "Dont you followers want to know what's happening" to get her 4th star. Then invite her and she will accept.
25) Talk to Caspar, he will recognize you got everyone to come except maggie.
26) Go talk to Maggie, BE CAREFUL WHEN PICKING OPTIONS HERE. Invite her to come -> "Maggie, please" -> "You dont need to be scared of leaving, you've done it before" -> "Your husband loved you, not the roadhouse" to get her 6th star. The difficulty will say impossible, but here is the trick, invite her, she will say No, and offer you sandwiches, REFUSE THE SANDWICHES.
27) This will stop her dialogue, but keep her decision hanging. Go Talk to Caspar. He will tell you to put the Radio on Station 98. It's the bold line between 96 and 100. You get an unique song to play.
28) Go talk to Maggie again. She will instantly accept, Caspar is happy and will move on. You can optionally leave through the backdoor as he goes to check his tombstone, it will say it's more upright or something.
29) Go to the door. Juan will protest as usual be he will be like "holy damn you managed to convince everyone, even the dog." And you'll all go, and this is the best ending.
PREPARE YOUR SCREENSHOT / VIDEO RECORDING BUTTON, YOU GET AN EXCLUSIVE CUTSCENE FOR THIS ONE. 

Also if you go into the "Secet" files [SIC] you can see a story that involves an instructor with the code 1107.
If you play the game again (or load a save) and give that number when the game asks for it, you get an alternative ending, where you actually complete the test.

Not sure why people are getting the bad ending. All I did was constantly check the window and also reply truthfully. I got 29 out of 30 and still got good ending

Thanks! You see, it would be so much better if everyone was like you, saw a problem and explained how to fix it.
But no, people prefer to just downvote and move on.

... This version has no sound. Geez, you guys take forever to update only to do it without proper testing.

Thanks bro i'll give it another chance next weekend :) I love observation type games. I was just confused about this one because of the gurney going sassy on me haha

Am i supposed to keep walking? I want to understand the game first before I can really say if it's my cup of tea or not haha

Sadly, I don't understand. I thought this was gonna have a similar gameplay than the "Exit 8" game, but the fucking phantom gurney keeps pushing me ahead, I can barely actually look at my surroundings and see what I can do differently, the fucking thing teleports to me once i slightly put my back against it. It feels weird and unfinished, I don't know.

You are forced to add milk to the tea and people here are asking where the horror of this game is.
10/10 got me spooked.

Oh and nice Psychonauts 1 reference.

Okay so, i see a lot of youtubers playing a supposedly nightmare / hard mode yet i can't find how to unlock it and the bozos don't explain it either.
Can someone please tell me

This was a 3 years ago comment but I'm still so happy you replied me. Thank you mate.

I understand you wanting to charge money for your game, but can you please put on other platforms like Steam? Reason is that itch.io doesn't accept my country's money.
And yes, I'm aware they won't budge when asked to give other currencies options. They only care about dollars and will stay that way, it's a great platform to advertise indie games but a horrible one to sell. Lack of broad vision and all that.

Thanks both of you. Sorry I won't go out of my way to recompile a game because of that, but I appreciate the help. Surprised I got -2 just for asking a feature, tho. 

The tracing border around everything makes this more like classic DS style than N64 style. It still won't feel like N64 but at least it would look better.
If there isn't, please consider implementing it.

Also i just noticed now. I have a 16:10 monitor (1440x900) and the edges of the game seem cut off, which tells me the internal resolution is way bigger than my screen.

Is there any config file or something I can go to fix that?

Even on the browser, the same issue happens.

I loved the game. But little of a heads up, the download files come with a local shortcut that won't work for other people.

To be fair I'm not a good source, I liked most of them.

Somehow I missed this game. How. 
Another nice jewel from Zed
Thank you for the game

Good to know, I made one mostly for myself, so I don't really care.

Man be popping these non-stop. Can't wait to see you doing big bucks on steam, my friend.

Don't worry about me this time, I'll just watch ManlyBadassHero play this one. Thanks for all the fun

I made a playlist with all Manly's gameplay of your games, by order of release. In case someone out there needs it:

Na fase do Chilly Fox, na caverna logo depois do mini boss pássaro gigante, tem um lugar que dá pra pegar botas

Got bored at the spike minigame.
Loved project kat but this one feels a worse version of it in general.

Thank you for replying, Zed. I love your games but my country is currently on economic recession hell. Wouldn't even have all this argument if I had a simple solution.

Well, I don't use twitter, I apologize. You can find me on Steam, do you mind?
Otherwise tell me an email address and I'll email you a printscreen of my profile so you know that guy is me. 

I DON'T WANT IT FOR FREE !
I JUST WANT TO BE ABLE TO BUY IT !

Now the community will be divided by the ones that go "LMAO IT'S JUST $1 YOU CHEAPSKATE BLA BLA BLA *CHOKES ON MCDONALDS AND IGNORANCE*" 

And the ones that would love to pay $1, $10 heck even $30 for your games, but we CAN'T HERE, because Itch.io sucks at paying with anything but dollars. At lot of us around the world don't have access to pay through dollars.

AYO, MY MAN ZED BEEN RELEASING GAMES NON STOP.
But may I ask you to release your game on Steam?
This website doesn't let me buy with my country's currency and I got no other way to buy with dollars.
(People have tried discussing with itchio administration and they don't want to bother with the conversion)

É o estilo do Zed. Todos os jogos dele tem personagens assim.

AAAAAAAAA
I'm so happy to see your project moving on again. I've been in anticipation for YEARS now.

I love the picklock mechanic, it was pain but it was fun, hope it comes back one day, but if possible, with a better chance of us retrying it. 

Nevertheless, good luck and don't worry, you guys will do fine!

So this means Spiral Clicker 1 is done?
I was waiting for it to be fully done because I kept losing my progress with every update.

Would appreciate some confirmation on this

No biggie my friend! I was actually waiting for it to get patched so I could play the game without any seemingly issues. 

Programming is impossible to have something 100% bug free. Only soulless people think it is. There's always a way to break something.

Hey Zed-senpai. I seem to have run into a bug. When I get into the settings screen,  the "Back" button doesn't do anything.

Even when I change things around and even when I restart the game and dont touch anything, it doesn't do jack. Not even Esc works. 

Plus since you have a bounding box into the game, I cant even close it down, i have to press the Windows Key to unfocus the screen and then click the X

And before you ask, the version I downloaded was from roughly one hour ago from this comment so you can see it's already the one you updated from the comment below.

YES A new one. Will try it soon. Thanks for the new game, Zed the legend

Yeah being honestly, it didn't feel as good as the other ones, but don't let that make you feel you're "losing the touch" or whatever. You're just human and not every single thing you release needs to be a masterpiece. It just needs to be consistent with the rest, and this one definitely is.

Finally took my time to play this one. Shadowcatcher remains as the most difficult one. Does Agatha even have a way to kill you? Or is she just there to blow the lights so you can't be sure when to hide from the dad?

Nevertheless, had some fun with this one. Now I realize why the playable character is a cockroach. You need four arms otherwise gameplay gets a little tedious of running back and forth with the boxes :)

AAAAA Nice to see new stuff from you, thank you so much, my weekend will be great now.

I love all of your games with a passion.

Guess this is why they are so different. You're a crafter, mate.
Hope to see much more from you. Have an excellent weekend.

My man Zed, I'm a fan of horror games for about 17 years of my life and your style of horror has become my favorite one. It should definitely become a sub genre like Puppet Combo games did.

The fact that these are just characters with nothing exceptional about them besides their appearances trying to live their regular lives but supernatural shit gets in the way is exactly what I've been looking for years.

Your games don't try to be over the top like about 90% of the horror games out there. Your premise is simple, presented in a simple manner, with simple characters and just deep enough personalities so they don't feel like complete NPCs is a recipe that works better than most may think. It keeps me engaged exactly because of that!

I'll always follow and play all of your games but can you please tell me which ones have you inspired upon on making these? Or at least tell me other games that follow similar narrative as yours? I'm a huge horror game buff and I crave for more in the same vein as your games.

Thank you from the bottom of my millennial heart and cheers from Brazil! 🇧🇷

Felix.

I'd love to finish play the game but I can't understand how to make dinner.
I can only pick one carrot from the farm. I have the bowl and the knife. I've managed to cut the carrot by spamming their numbers in the bar but what now. Can't figure how to put the carrots in the bowl and the bowl doesn't seem to interact with the water pond and also I have no idea where I'll cook the carrot soup. In the fireplace??

Basically I'm stuck before any of the creepyness happens. :(

Man, all your games are fun as hell but this one was my favorite.
My second favorite is Exorcist Girl.

Hope to see more content from you in the future. You're a cool game dev, I'd invite you to eat a plate of fried chicken and beer if I could.
