Hm, I felt that the maze was balanced pretty well in the first release. Sure it could stink getting a dead end on the last maze and having to start over, but in the end, I didn’t think it was that hard to memorize the path.

So, wait, is the version for 1.19.4 out of date?

Gotta ask, does the game intentionally cheat, or did I just get some astronomically bad luck? I had number four get sabotage four out of five rounds.

You have left-over content from the previous version in the game folder. Delete the contents of the folder entirely and reinstall.

Just played through the new update. Loved it, through and through. Had to cheat a bit after I finished it, take a peek behind the scenes. Gabagool.

Love the update, but wanted to let you know I found a notable error. The door to lab B-3 is open now, but is connected to lab B-2, outside the map, so going through it gets you stuck, forcing you to reload a save (or cheat to move yourself).

Edit: Ah, that’s right, B-3 was already open before! The door connection is just broken now.

Mediafire is hot garbage and definitely uses some of the most scummy, underhanded advertising, but I could say the same for AVG.

Basically don’t use Mediafire without an adblocker, but the file is safe.

Pressing use on a wall doesn’t softlock anymore… but pressing ‘c’ at any time does.

EDIT: It also softlocks seemingly randomly and fairly regularly.

EDIT 2: Combat also has a chance to softlock when you defeat an enemy, leaving you stuck on the combat screen with a downed enemy.

I mean, I don’t know what else to say, it’s still pretty much non-functional. The longest run I’ve gotten without a softlock has been less than a minute.

This was great. All the fetish scenes were fantastic, the Half-Life references were really funny, and the Some Bullshit picture actually made me laugh out loud.

Also, I had to…

So far, it’s only happened on one run out of three.

So, I encountered a strange bug. It’s only occurred once so far, and it happened the first time the gas expanded.

I'm sorry, but an uncaught exception occurred.

Yeah, nothing happened. I ended up just reinstalling. It’s still happening, too. Now it shows that you’re on version 6, but it’s not automatically updating or offering the update in any way.

Edit: Okay, so, it seems like there’s some kind of distinction between versions and updates or something, because to actually get to the next version, I have click the cog next to the launch button, choose to manage the installed file, click “Switch to another version”, then choose the latest update. Notably, Corrupted Kingdoms does automatically update for me, and also offers older versions through the same menu. I don’t know enough about the app to know what’s different, though.

Well, then I suppose updating may be broken in that case. I have a version from Nov. 26th installed, and it won’t auto-update, and there’s no option to manually update, either.

I suppose I’ll delete and redownload entirely, since that seems to be my only option.

FWIW, I installed this version about an hour before it says version 4 was put out (03:32 installed vs 04:40 updated), so I should definitely be on the older version.

Hey, I know you said to use the Itch app, but it looks like the latest release isn’t set up for it. It just gives an empty install box when I try.

Unfortunately, the dev’s last activity anywhere was almost a full year ago.

I haven’t been able to find out yet, what it this “extreme content”?

Oh man, I was doing so good and then I got PHYSICSED.

Some of the balls got wedged in just the wrong way, and everything started shaking, and then, poof, like four balls disappeared and I got a game over, lol.

Woah, okay, I scanned with Virus Total, and this thing sets off a bunch of virus engines, not just Windows Defender, but only the 64-bit executable does this. Notably, it sets off Avast, AVG and McAfee as well.

Unfortunately it’s not actually downloadable. To make it downloadable, go to the file in Google Drive, right-click it and go to Share > Share. In the box that pops up, click the option under “General Access” and choose “Anyone with the link,” then in the drop-down to the right of that, make sure it’s set to “Viewer”.

Ah, okay, I didn’t understand what the whole , and . thing meant originally. All the levels I downloaded used commas, and only loaded after changing them to decimals.

So, I don’t know if they work for anyone else, but no custom levels work for me. I always spawn in the void far enough out that rounding errors are causing the view models to freak out. EDIT: Here’s a video of what happens:

I don’t know if this is a known issue or not, but the whole pipe system seems to be broken. I can’t use any of the yellow connectors, the sprinklers stop connecting to things after being moved and the firehose only seems to collect pressure.

EDIT: I’ve realized that the whole issue I mentioned with the connectors is the same as the sprinklers, they stop letting you connect after you move them.

EDIT2: Also, I noticed that the “gas” content control doesn’t seem to work.

So, the new sawed off seems to be broken. I unlocked it, but it doesn’t appear on the play screen at all and can’t be upgraded. EDIT: Nevermind! I didn’t realize it was a secondary! That’s awesome.

Very cool! Art looks great and the game is super fun to play, though maybe a bit brutal for my tastes. The Inscryption inspiration really shines through, and I absolutely love that.

Will there be a demo of the rebuild? I don't really want to put money out if I'm not sure it'll even run on my PC.

I'd love to give some feedback, but I haven't been able to play it for more than a few seconds without it softlocking. Under seemingly random circumstances, the game just stops responding to all input other than escape and camera controls.
EDIT: Well, I found one of the softlock causes. Pressing interact on a normal wall freezes you forever.
EDIT2: I think I found another. Pressing 'x' in combat.

Can you explain this, because I'm pretty damn sure I've interacted with absolutely everything and haven't found any way to open that case with the tube in it.

The only thing I can even imagine right now is a locked door that says it needs key A, but doesn't open with key A.

EDIT: Okay, I figured it out, here's where my problem was: In the research room where the glass cell with the wolf thing is, Key B is sitting on the table with the disabled computer. It blends in fairly well on my monitor. Also, the door with Key A is an error, it's actually opened by Key B.
