No Players Online has become one of my favorite games in the genre and, with this new update, the focus on the plot has become even more interesting. Congratulations! COMPLETE DEMO HERE:
Hey, Windows Defender might flag the game as a virus but we can assure you it isn't! You can also try the demo on steam, you should be able to launch it without issue there.
This updated version of the game was really cool I liked it very much and I found it very enjoyable and the updated graphics were super cool too! keep up the good work!
This new demo does an amazing job of literally mashing up genres and gameplay mechanics and paying homage to the weird old days of AOL, Netscape, and dial-up internet. I was surprised by the amount of depth added beyond the original "No Players Online" game. In the demo, I loved that I wasn't simply stumbling into an eccentric game developer's ill-advised experiment but that there was a mystery to solve and, yes, more ill-advised experiments to conduct.
Great work on this! I'm looking forward to the full release on Steam!
Is there any way to do a complete wipe of game data? All that deleting your save file does is just wipes all 'story' progress up to that point, but it keeps all files downloaded, including the friend that you get early in the demo.
Despite that, I am really looking forward to this!
John's account gives you access to a number of games to download and play. The documentation for the "soul transfer" app gives you tips on what you can put in those empty source slots. The solution isn't obvious but the result is satisfying...and the connotations are kind of hilarious.
The empty fields take two games with compatible "souls." The games will combine into something new and the originals will disappear. Once you have that new thing, run it to continue.
I got one together, played through it, closed the game to take a small break, and upon reopening, the game is gone. Don't know what I was supposed to get out of that game tho
Hmm...the new game is supposed to disappear when you complete it, but it leaves an object behind on the desktop that you need to complete the next task. If it doesn't, you may have encountered a bug.
Try entering the characters you see as your password. I got an error. After restarting, John's password was fine. To see all the characters, try moving the password or settings window
Next...I've only gotten to the point so far where I need to go through the Minefriend game. Open up Soul Transfer and link the games. Including the ones you downloaded before.
This seriously might just be a contender for my favorite horror game of all time. I just got finished playing the demo, and I was fully IMMERESED in every second of it, from the creative concepts to the excellent scares.
You guys knocked it out of the park with this one, can't wait for the full release!!
I was really impressed by the meta-gameplay in this demo. If you get stuck, it's entirely possible to just keep playing the demo as a sort of overcomplicated emulator for "Fishing With Knives II"!
It's from Windows Defender, I got the same warning when I downloaded the game and it was deleted. Maybe this was dumb but I just downloaded the file again and it didn't get flagged. Apparently Wactac.B!ml is a machine learning virus detector, so it could be a false positive.

How did you get there? I'm stuck in John's profile and I don't know what to do.
how did you get here? Please I need to know I’m stuck on John’s profile.
Look for the "frames"

still stuck, argh

Impressive HUGE update.
hey so... stuck at John's profile, I don't know where to go from there. Already looked at the forums and the other stuff.
Try entering the characters you see as your password. I got an error. After restarting, John's password was fine. To see all the characters, try moving the password or settings window
I already got the password correct, i was asking what to do beyond it.
Next...I've only gotten to the point so far where I need to go through the Minefriend game. Open up Soul Transfer and link the games. Including the ones you downloaded before.
yea I got a compatible game combined, when I completed it I took a small break so I closed the game.
the game is gone. Now I don’t know what to do after.
And I'm still not sure what to do next..... The dialog there gives some answers, but it doesn't give them to me...
I'm missing the game, too, by the way.....

its been an hour since i started playing and i'm just playing the mine sweeper and looking around the forum lmao

what's up with that?
where did you run into this? I don't know what I'm looking at :-)
It's from Windows Defender, I got the same warning when I downloaded the game and it was deleted. Maybe this was dumb but I just downloaded the file again and it didn't get flagged. Apparently Wactac.B!ml is a machine learning virus detector, so it could be a false positive.
it shows exactly where i ran into this, windows defender flags your game as a virus.
all comments above this one are about the new game!
