Thanks. It's a bit of an odd game... I'm glad you could finish it though. I appreciate the reply.

Unfortunately, our long-awaited text-based title 'Adventure Game' has recently been released to the general public.

We'd like to apologise to all those involved and to anyone who has supported us over the years.

This is of course an extremely unexpected development, and as a result we will have to close all offices from Monday. I would like to offer my personal condolences to those who have dedicated so many years delaying this game's release.

Hopefully in a year's time we can look back and forget this project existed. I'd like to think that 'Adventure Game' will sit in a small corner of the internet, forgotten forever, a relic of a long chain of very serious mistakes.

Goodbye sincerely,

William Rous

Ah, interesting... It's a difficult thing to balance for sure. Thanks for the feedback. I've uploaded a new patch that should be a bit of a better middle ground.

I think I'll try to avoid difficulty options if I can, as the machine isn't really the main focus of the game anyway... I'd prefer to try and find a good difficulty balance, but it's always an option I guess. Hopefully the alarm making the bar decrease slower should help players who were struggling before.

Thanks for the comment.

Sorry to hear it - yeah, you have to keep it out of the red phase for about two minutes, so keeping it in the yellow is fine too. If you go into the red, it just pauses the timer until you get back into the green again.

Thanks for the feedback though, I might upload a patch later that makes it a bit easier. Let me know how you get on.

Edit: I've uploaded a patch that should make it easier and explain how it works a bit better.  It should be a lot easier to get out of the red now too.

Find ghosts, work out how they died, play piano.

Devil's Rhapsody: a new puzzle adventure game.

A young child falls to Hell. In comes the Devil with an offer: find six ghosts, capture their spirits, and then she'll give you back your life.

Explore the town in search of the lost ghosts. Relive the hours before their deaths. Figure out how all their stories connect.

Each ghost has their own theme for you to play on piano before they'll move on. And once you've got all six spirits, the Devil will be waiting...

Great game, I had a lot of fun. It's a good level of strategy.
