I had no idea the "server" status remains constant no matter if you reinstall, TO ANYONE LOOKING FOR THE CONFIG FILE the directory is
C:\Users\YourLogin\AppData\LocalLow\Adam Pype - Viktor Kraus
sorry papercookies, just really wanted to give it another go (i annihilated the server too early because i wanted to see what would happen xD) . Well done for the immersion though!
Edit: nevermind, deleting the config there didn't bring the servers back :(
Made an account just to write this comment. I love the aesthetic a ton. The bleeding record player was real eery, and I really like the interactivity between the admin and player. But as others said, the plot is kinda meh. Also, is there any way to restart the game? I've uninstalled/re-installed and its still broke. I'm a huge sucker for games that play with save files like that, though.
one of the other players was hacking and then another one tried to troll me in chat but wouldn't join the other team to fight me and then he crashed the servers cuz i wouldn't talk to him can u fix the servers also my friends couldn't find me even when we joined the same server so theres a glitch
The game crashes on startup, with a default NoPlayersOnline.exe has stopped working.
Also, the crash doesn't seem constant, with different things loading before it crashes. Sometimes the border shows up, other times a unity error bar thing appears before the crash. Hopefully this gets fixed, the game looks cool.
I played the game and I liked that it gave you that feeling of loneliness when there is no one online to play with. I initially watched a gameplay video of it, then I decided to play it in order to figure out if there is another ending. As some suggestions, you could try implementing cheats mechanics and external file writing like Doki Doki Literature Club does. Looking forward for new versions.
I'll be honest, I didn't like how the whole backstory was spelled out at the end like it was, I think that made it sound really cheesy and took me out of the game. But the game itself is great on an atmospheric level, I felt every bit of the loneliness as I wandered back and forth, and by the end I felt a sense of dread every time I turned a corner. I'd love to see more like this, it's a simple concept but executed very well, with the exception of the "supernatural/haunted video game" backstory.
Thank you for the fair review! You make a good point and I'd love to have expanded on it, and perhaps eased the player into the story more. But time eludes me. Thanks for playing!
I wasn't expecting the game to turn into a seriously difficult moral conundrum where I had to sit there and think about what I was going to do because either way somebody is going to get hurt probably, but I appreciate it.
It's like on one hand I thought in the end the best thing to do is free her. Since it seems cruel to try and chain her to this game instead of letting her move on. Like even if he succeeds and nothing goes wrong (And that is a pretty big IF) what kind of existence would that be? He would not even be able to interact with her or touch her anymore directly you know? And she would just see a floating gun or some shit, wouldn't even be able to go anywhere outside that tiny map. And this kind of obsession is not a really good way to deal with grief I think, I think its making him unhinged to say the least. On the other hand the anguish I probably caused him by throwing his work away I took no pleasure in. It needs to be done and he needs to move on but there was a part of me going "well what if he kills himself" or something like that. I basically had to consider it for a bit. It was not an easy decision for me to make.

That was fun. Interesting concept. I love the old school VHS style.
Great work! Happy to see more of this.
This one was strange. I enjoyed it but i am not sure if I finished it right.
It grabs your interest extremely well with the intro and that is a 10/10 . I Recommend giving this one a go for your self as I am kinda stuck.
heres a video of my playthough:

Spoilers, obviously

I liked it as well, and would like to know if there's a way to re-experience it, I ended it early cause I thought necromancy was bullshit!!
Formulaic, not scary. 0/10

That's really weird. What are your specs? I would try to run it in administrator mode or compatibility mode.
Tried compatibility and admin, Windows 7 64 bit, 12gb of ram.
Edit: it's working now. I don't know why.
Weird, glad you got it working!

Amazing game, loved it! Are you planning to expand it?

So I didn't play the game, but the first 3D shooter was made in the 90s, so 0/20, you don't pass this course Adam ;p
Ok I played the game, very cool, and that's all I'm gonna say, I don't want to spoil it for other people
Haha thanks for checking it out Matei! I should've known that, but an 80s fps game just sounds a lot cooler :v)

Oohh I'm very glad I was able to make you stop and think! Thanks for checking it out :)
