Yeah, you folks did a good job. It's super endearing.
(Never had multiple devs approach me like this before, cute.)

Hey, me from before. I figured out a potential root cause behind this somewhat common issue.
Apparently attempting to access godot based browser games directly through a game collection somehow fails to detect those features.
Running your game or any other game for that matter outside collections effectively circumvents the issue. Someone at itch.io HQ should have a look at that.
I got this error with your game:
https://itch.io/t/3630703/trouble-playing-godot-games-in-web-browser
Have you checked on your end that everything is in order? It is unplayable inside my browser otherwise.
My friend's impressions thus far:
Okay, played some of that Yuki game. I wrote down my initial impression so far. Still plan on finishing it.
"
Has options menu with decent selection of adjustable options like a slider for music in audio. Can tab out without the game crashing or ending. Menu music is calm and fitting with the menu scene having a piano. Makes me feel relaxed. Dialogue could use some improvement, grammatical errors, confusing way in which some things are worded (unless intended?). UI looks amazingly occult and interesting. Not over-bearing or annoying to look at. I like the subtle Yume Nikki references. Just got owned by a frickin' ghost and called a loser, 10/10.

Pretty neat and interesting little indie game. Reminded me a bit of silent hill, yume nikki and classic gothic horror literature.
Unplayable across multiple browsers for me. I get the error message discussed here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76924109/error-the-following-features-requir...
Someone also proposed a solution. To what extent it's true is outside my ability to tell.
I understand Zilpe. Look on the bright side. The "spirit" or "essence" of SH gets to variably live on throughout horror games. That isn't something many horror franchises get to say for themselves and I think we can find at least some solace and sense of satisfaction in that fact if for nothing else.
Hope you find something eventually that scratches that itch!
I'm very cautious when making recommendations for games since I know people's reasoning for liking a singular thing will vary depending on their background information that they've accumulated surrounding said thing. For me it's always been a mostly vibe thing that renders me pretty lenient as long as it's execution is what I could reasonably consider tasteful by my own metrics.
If you wish to discover more games in the same vein then perhaps you could turn to the YouTube video maker Silent Archives's "I Played Every Modern Silent Hill Clone". (It's not every, but I digress.)
Alternatively you could check out my collection here on itch.io which attempts to group together the finds tied to this site: https://itch.io/c/1698513/silent-hill-likes
But judging from your previously liked titles I wager the vast majority of games will not make the cut in the end which is fair enough too.
This one's really not getting any traction huh...
Your game looks and feels like something straight from the PS 2 catalogue. And while I am not a big fan on SH cloning I can't help but be fascinated by the effort and talent it must've taken to come up with something so compelling.
Some person also gave it a 1 star rating. Absurd! I gave it a 5 star rating in the name of justice. (I don't usually feel the need to do that.)
Edit: Ok I see. This was an older title that ended up getting released over on Game Jolt. Surprised it didn't stick out in my mind. I don't expect this to be getting a chapter 2 then and if it is, I find it to be unlikely.
Post the code under a spoiler on the page to save time for the people that can't be bothered to look for it.
Also my two cents on the game design of Summon are that the game feel coupled with the finnicky camera and poor light conditions are what is ultimately the most discouraging thing standing between the player and the code in this case.
(Granted I was playing it sleep deprived, so I had that handicap going for me. Still.)
It's likely an issue on my end, but of course it couldn't hurt to check. My OS is Win10 Pro and I am on a decently powerful low to mid range rig with an NVIDIA GPU that has run more demanding AAA games fairly well. Which is why double tapping a lil installer exe only to be met with a complete freeze struck me as particularly odd.
Thank you for the quick response.
I think it would be a disservice to not at least mention this. When I tried launching the installer, my whole folder froze up and I couldn't do anything to it to undo the freezing.
Task manager, refresh, waiting etc. Nothing.
This hasn't happened before and it made me wonder if there was something wrong with it, or at one point, a virus.
An answer would mean a lot. Also another reason I held off on commenting that is because your page does look to be credible and prolific. So I'd prefer to avoid spreading misinfo, when it could've been simply my pc acting up.
