Aight, I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, but here goes (SPOILERS FOR THE LATEGAME)
Aight, so basically, when [SPOILER CHARACTER] lets me view various TVs to learn the deeper meaning of each point in the timeline... there are three that are missing, despite the fact that I've gotten verification marks for playing them. Is something bugged? Then again, the Attic game WAS bugged as I couldn't seem to progress past the phone call... And I DID beat the Ascend and "Kill Satan" games (those are the three TVs that are missing). What's going on?
Gotcha! Gotta say, REALLY loved this experience, it really was something else, and the way everything flows together in the end is just... awesome. You all did great work on this!
Heyo! Sorry for giving you extra work, but there's one final game that won't open and it's the game "Choices"
This one i'm certain it's a problem on my end since i've seen videos of people playing It, hope you can give me a solution. Hopefully I'm not too late before the update!
yes it's really annoying, i will ask the developer to get it fixed. normally you can just ignore the steamvr popup and open the game window from the taskbar
can there be a fix for steamvr? unreal engine has vr turned on by default when you make a new project which means the first game is unplayable if you have steamvr installed, this issue probably also applies to any other games in the collection that were made with unreal engine but i can't get to them to check
The concept the gameplay is very good but im sad to say at the current moment, unless its a local issue on my side some chains are completely inaccessible on the wyoming path i was locked out of choices twice and had to end my playthrough and my stream because of it. Will be waiting for the bugfixes. Another feedback i want to give would be the optimization. On its own my computer runs the game well i didnt have any crashes or anything but while i was on stream as a VTuber i tanked my GPU and stream itself which generally happens when the game/app i use has optimization issues. On the positive side the game really is a banger and i anticipate checking it out when i see a patch that fixes the issues
Hey there, there's been some reports of this. I'm trying to work on a fix, but it's hard to get to the root of the issue as it only happens to a couple of people.
Excellent collection! The different game types make for fresh experience every level. We liked that we could go back easily and try new paths. All the games worked very well and ran smoothly. Having an overarching story was a great way to tie all the games together.
Fun concept, but i can't actually play anything past the Wyoming level, because it never gives me an option prompt, it just boots me back to the hub and leaves me there.
Hello, this collection was very fun to play, but I'm having problems with the game "Choices", when I press play it opens a blackscreen for a split second and then it crashes and brings me back to the hub I would love to finish the story :(
Loving it so far, but i'm having an issue in the Transport Struggle game (go through the door option). I honestly don't know how i'm supposed to know about the clock, maybe the blocks on the back have something to do with it, but honestly I don't get it and whenever I press E it just resets back to how their initial position.
After a little bit of trial and error on the clock I get to choose between the bus or the taxi but when the game closes, the choice doesn't appear on the game! It doesn't even mark the tape as played, so now i'm stuck here, being unable to unlock the two remaining games. This issue probably has something to do with my pc since i'm using a laptop, but i've seen other people with way more capable computers that share similar issues as mine.
With that being said I can't help but wonder if this aspect of the game was even playtested at all, I say this with no ill-will towards any of the developers who contributed to this wonderful collection. Except for time harrier, but that's just me being nitpicky with the gameplay's artstyle looking as if it was made in ms paint, (I'm a huge Space Harrier nerd, sorry Autumn, I had fun with it anyways).
I trust that these issues will soon be fixed properly in a future update, but in the meantime I hope you can give me a solution to my current situation.
I enjoyed this overall - and discovered some awesome devs in the process - but there are some issues that hurt the experience:
- Games usually only launch after 2-3 attempts.
- iwilliams' game ("Executive Order") crashes right before a decision can be made.
- Moyahorror/Amos Sorri's game ("Weight of the Generations") seems genuinely unbeatable - enemies do not take damage, game eventually tells you to "try harder" then restarts.
- RazorShark's game (Basement) crashes right after the first line of dialogue from Lucy.
- Sythe's game (Attic) appears to be broken; nothing happens after Chronos' first phone call, and there's no way to leave the room, which I've explored to seemingly its absolute limit.
- CuttleFresh's game is also broken: I get to the "False Chained God" fight (if it's supposed to be a fight), but although I can move the cursor around, there's no option to do anything, and God simply remains in the same pupil-twitching animation loop as during the dialogue.
I don't think my game is crashing, that's just the end lol. The choices are actually made within the launcher, if it's not showing you those after the game closes, that might be a different issue.
Hi! Perhaps I should have made it clearer - you’re supposed to shoot the god using the cursor. The False Chained God is not a boss fight in a traditional sense and they will not fight back.
Thanks for the feedback! I’ll see if we can get it into the next update somehow :D
okay it crashes RIGHT AFTER the last line of dialogue (right path ends at the line with morpheous looking ass) (left path ends at the antichrist saying: you can throw you in hole if u want see lucy) , my pc specs are as follow: 4gb ram, cpu is intel celeron n1400 my gpu is a intel UHD GRAPHICS 600 first game went fine
yes, and if you are questioning how i even booted the game up in first place, the first game ran at 5 fps ( it took me 30 minutes to get past it all ) the other games ran perfectly fine
Hey, love your games! I can’t progress past the very first tape. After talking to Chronos, the cutscene fades to black and exits me from the game back to the menu where you can inspect/play tapes. From watching a bit of someone else’s playthrough, it appears I’m supposed to transport back to the living room with Lucy and be able to choose which location to go from there, but the game always closes before I get there.
i am facing the exact same problem, yeah, when you finish talking to Chronos, the game just dont give you an option, you just go to the tape selection, with nothing changed
No, I’ve played through the first tape about 10 times and when it closes, nothing changes about the main menu
Additionally, Chronos only had hair in one of the cutscenes… lol
It just doesn't launch and I'm stuck on the "Play/Inspect" window! It's no big deal though, I can just wait for the next update - I like what you've done a lot!
The most recent version should allow you to progress past the game after launching it once without having to finish it. there's been some reports that game is unstable.
The showdown game is performing very poorly, it's running with low fps and it's crashing, I was only able to play it when I opened the game manually through the files.
Hey, me and a friend would like to make an lp, but he has an ultrawide and the game is forcing itself to stretch to fit. Can you add a windowed mode to the game? Thank you
Yep, CSS! You can use your browser's inspector to see exactly how it was done, the .screenshot class and the associated .screenshot:hover are the two places to look.
one issue i had was that the volume levels vary wildly between games, some are extremely loud, and having to tab out to mess with volume mixing for almost every game was pretty tedious
other than that i'm having a lot of fun with it all. It's very captivating!

Here are my pc specs just in case:
Wish I could play this but the first game opens SteamVR rendering the entire pack unplayable. looks really cool though, so that sucks :/
**EDIT: Changing the name of the SteamVR folder seems to have fixed this issue!
-My SteamVR was located in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common"
-locate the SteamVR folder and rename it. This will just be temporary, I simply put an "a" at the end changing it to "SteamVRa"
-Now the game pack shouldn't detect the SteamVR and should run normally on flatscreen, hope this helps!
yes it's really annoying, i will ask the developer to get it fixed. normally you can just ignore the steamvr popup and open the game window from the taskbar

be sure to change the name of the folder back when you want to play VR
I DID IT! I FINISHED IT!! ALL CHOICES, ALL PATHS , ALL TAPES AND ALL ENDINGS IN ONE 6 HOUR VIDEO I SPENT 3 DAYS ON THIS VIDEO HOPE YOU ENJOY!!!!
Nice

An exquisite corpse as a game! This is such a cool idea. Thanks for making this to everyone involved.
why I can't choose another tape, I have only one available, I can't go further along the plot
love it and lot lot games retro yeah ;D
Ho avuto qualche problema al bivio "diventa l'anticristo", ma cmq resta bellissimo il progetto CHAIN!
Excellent.
Fun concept, but i can't actually play anything past the Wyoming level, because it never gives me an option prompt, it just boots me back to the hub and leaves me there.

PC Specs are as follows:

Don't shoot em.
I don't think my game is crashing, that's just the end lol. The choices are actually made within the launcher, if it's not showing you those after the game closes, that might be a different issue.
Ah, fair enough! The issue's definitely with the launcher, then.

"Weight of the Generations" requires you to survive until the music track ends.
for attic you have to click a tile in the bottom left of the house. I'm pretty sure basement is just supposed to end there.
Had a good time with this, although for some reason the game Choices never actually loads; it starts to and just immediately crashes.
Yeah I'm having the same problem, it's the last branch that I need to do and it just immediatly crashes :(
Part 2 ->
This looks awesome! Any chance for a Mac release?
every game after the first one, right when it branches, straight up crashes at the option
oh no, that's really bad. at what point does it crash exactly? can you give me your system specs as well?
okay it crashes RIGHT AFTER the last line of dialogue (right path ends at the line with morpheous looking ass) (left path ends at the antichrist saying: you can throw you in hole if u want see lucy) , my pc specs are as follow: 4gb ram, cpu is intel celeron n1400 my gpu is a intel UHD GRAPHICS 600 first game went fine

after the game closes you should get the option, do you just see the launcher main menu again with nothing happening?
i am facing the exact same problem, yeah, when you finish talking to Chronos, the game just dont give you an option, you just go to the tape selection, with nothing changed
No, I’ve played through the first tape about 10 times and when it closes, nothing changes about the main menu

Do you want to join the horror games co-op bundle?
Hi! The <BE REBORN> game isn't launching. Should I wait for an update?
What happens when it tries to launch?
It just doesn't launch and I'm stuck on the "Play/Inspect" window! It's no big deal though, I can just wait for the next update - I like what you've done a lot!
Pressing the Play button doesn't do anything?
The "fight antichrist" game somehow completely overclocked my GPU and was unplayable.
The most recent version should allow you to progress past the game after launching it once without having to finish it. there's been some reports that game is unstable.
In Sunk Costs, not all of the tv screens are there. Am I missing something or is this a bug?
The showdown game is performing very poorly, it's running with low fps and it's crashing, I was only able to play it when I opened the game manually through the files.
Hey, me and a friend would like to make an lp, but he has an ultrawide and the game is forcing itself to stretch to fit. Can you add a windowed mode to the game? Thank you
Amazing compilation, didn't expect it would be a choice based.
the 3rd branch wont unlock
i cant get the path to open
can you clarify what you mean? i pushed an update just now can you confirm that the issue is still present in version 1.1
on it
i talked to lucio and then the cutscence happend but the next game does not unlock
Can someone please explain how the rotating/floating screenshots on this page are done? 🤔 ... CSS?
Thanks for the game(s)! 💖
Yep, CSS! You can use your browser's inspector to see exactly how it was done, the .screenshot class and the associated .screenshot:hover are the two places to look.
https://itch.io/docs/creators/css-guide
Thank you very much! I had no idea you're allowed to do this on a Itch.io page 😅
Hey this is a cool ass game!
Very cool!
one issue i had was that the volume levels vary wildly between games, some are extremely loud, and having to tab out to mess with volume mixing for almost every game was pretty tedious
other than that i'm having a lot of fun with it all. It's very captivating!
showdown is crashing :(
I had that problem too but i loaded it again and it didnt so maybe that will work for you too?
no, it just gives me a fatal error and closes my game everytime
I'm having the same problem
Can you post the full error message?
This is so dope, huge thanks to dev and hps1 people for making another banger! ->
The decision doesnt show up on the game selection when i finish the animal crossing inspired game, otherwise loving the game so far
CHAIN MOMENT
C.H.A.I.N was an absolutely fantastic experience. super excited to get started with this one!
Ohhhh this looks great! Can we have a Linux build? :D
same here, the first game doesn't start. I'm on Win11 Home, specs are:
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-10870H CPU @ 2.20GHz 2.21 GHz
Installed RAM 32,0 GB (31,7 GB usable)
How can I fix?
Please FIX otherwise Soloumido will commit suicide
fixed it! please download again now :)
Hi, I tried to play the first game but it didn't run. Is it just my problem?
I am having the same issue
I have the same problem. The game starts but when I click "play" it says "launching game" but doesn't run nothing. Any help?
howdy! pushed an update, you can call it a "day one patch", if you will ;) should work now!!
Yes it works now, thanks!
