Sorry to hear that. So you are on windows? You just need to extract the downloaded 7z data using a unzipper like 7zip or winrar and then run the executable called "TheBasement" in the extracted folder.

It is completely finished, the only possible patches in the future would come if we find more bugs that need to be fixed. But as far as we know it is almost bugfree and it is a game in completed state :)

thanks a lot :D unfortunately the option of multiple saves just wasn't possible to do in our time-constraints but I agree that it would make it more fun. Also glad to see you enjoy it enough to do multiple runs.

Thank you :) It's a full game

Hey, thanks a lot, Im already excited to watch your video! Reviews like that are super helpfull to improve our projects! For now I need some distance from the game to reflect on it but I might patch it in the future in order to better the balance of the speed and other aspects you mentioned.

I think it's still a great compliment that apparently the atmosphere we created was strong enough to pull you through even the harder parts and Im glad you experienced the story all the way through and hopefully also play my improved future projects :)

Wow, thank you a lot for this very constructive and in-depth review. Glad to hear you like the concept, story and art and didnt get to frustrated on the Puzzles! Yeah, the walkspeed is kinda slow, but it couldn't be much faster since you can already defend against most dangers with your light and shouldnt be able to outrun everything. But I see how it can get annoying after several deaths at the same part. We also intend to patch the coal-graphic bug, it unfortunately only triggers sometimes... In any case thank you, Im glad you made it out of the basement and we will take the criticism seriously in order to improve this and future projects :)

Thanks a lot for playing!

First off, thank you a lot for your critique, I'm glad you enjoy the game and made it this far :) We are aware that the game is partly very challenging, which is on purpose, but I acknowledge that parts of the experience can get frustrating. You are almost at the end, so it would be a shame if you wouldn't make it through, therefore from here on out:

______SPOILERS_AND_SOLUTION_____

The map in the diary only pictures the area the raft is in, with the black parts being isles and landmasses. The goal is to get the raft trough most of the level without it breaking.

You can light the tree on the right of the raft's spawnpoint by lighting the minecart and pushing it into it(just like in the mines). The lever for the mine-rails is to the right of it. after that you can progress with the raft to the right where the tree was, where you can access the saveroom from another side again and save, and then progress upwards with the raft.

I hope you will make it with these hints and in any case we are very excited for your gameplay video :)
