hey, great game! The ambientation is great, it's really unnerving and the concept is very original, the monkey toy really creeped me out haha. Hope to see more games from you soon!
9-/10 This game was very original in the concept and in the gameplay, the first 7/8 nights really scared us out, we saw that you putted a lot of effort in making the game scary in the first half of the game, which is the best part in our opinion: the moving monkey, the lights that cut out while you sleep.
But it seems like half way through the game you gave up and made the game a little repetitive, the game was still really enjoyable though and very original compared to all the games in the website, which make this project one of the best ehat we ever played!
Hi! I bought your game on Steam but I can't seem to run it and I am not alone with this issue. Apparently it has something to do with using Windows 11, but even using compatibility mode won't do. I really want to play your game but I'm unable to :(
If you still own it on steam, a fix for this is to right click on the game in your library then click on properties. That will open up a menu where you will see something titled Launch Options. Then you just need to paste this into launch options: cmd /c "set OPENSSL_ia32cap=:~0x20000000 && %command%"
Afterwards you should be able to close that window and then be able to run the game. I had a similar issue.
You really have a talent. I have no words for the overall ambientation, specially the creepy and sad apartment where the game is set - just perfect. Definetly one of the best games of the genre I've played. Will be here supporting your future games, because this one was something else.
Even though only a few big youtubers played it, it is really unfortunate that it's still kind of underrated.
Not a bad game, but really slow paced. I am falling asleep irl. I have to take a break and walk around or something.
Back on the game. I go to sleep with all windows and vents boarded up. Wake up and within seconds the boy dies. What? Anyway, he seemed to be a problem child so, protect the girl. She doesn't seem to miss him either. Cat and mouse with the monster for too long. Story ends. Am I the monster? Then what did I kill? Why didn't I listen to the doctors text?Why is the funeral home texting me congratulating me about the funeral?
Fantastic game! The audio really made the atmosphere quite unnerving, the jumpscares really got me and I was on edge pretty much the entire game. SO well done for a small indie project.
To anyone who's having issues launching the game, reply to my comment and I wills send a link to a video that fixed my launching issue (ty for the help dev!)
hey! I bought this game on steam and I can't get it to run. Every time I launch it the game crashes before it can actually open the game. Any idea how to fix this?
I bought the game on steam and it hasn't worked on my windows 11 pc. I tried doing what you said up here but it didn't fix it. I refunded the game on steam and bought it on Itch but it still doesn't open.
This game is so well done and the ending provides a lot of suprises. 10/10 would turn my flat into a fortress again. Take a look at the gameplay - worth every buck:
Had me engrossed from start to finish. Enjoyed a lot of the mechanics, Although the only reason I beat the game was because I managed to shoot the creature as he was carrying one of the kids thru a vent, forcing him to drop the child at the same time as his animation for entering the vent was active. This forced him to flee toward the nearest vent, but he was inside the wall already which ended up clipping him in the wall, making it more like shooting fish in a barrel. Good game overall though.
I enjoy scary games, but this is one of the best I've ever played. I have never screamed so much by a game. Had to force my friend to sit next to me on the second try. Made a couple of jumpscare compilations as proof:
I loved it! This game uses ingenious ways of teaching the player the rules of the game and pairs a dense, oppressive atmosphere with an environment that refuses to let you feel safe. All that mixed with near-perfect pacing had me feeling like the fumbling, distraught matriarch it wanted me to be.
There is one issue that I found (a friend I was watching found it also). On Night 1, if you get up from sleeping after you've already dealt with the thing in the vents, the game seems to soft-lock with the kids forever standing by the powered-on TV. This was experienced in the (current) Steam version of the game.

Hey, I'm having issues when launching, too. It won't even open when I click on the application, just a loading wheel, and then it stops.
try the steps shown in this video and it should work! It worked for me anyway

It worked! Thank you so much!
no problem!! I’m glad you’re able to play it, it’s a really creepy game!

Great horror game, horror and art really well done.
First game in my video.
Where can I find music from this game?
so late, but if you're talking about the piano bits that song should be 'Liebestraum No. 3 "Love Dream"' by Liszt
Thank you)
I bought the game on steam couldnt launch , bought it here and doesnt launch either idk what to do
omg im currently having the same issue
I think you have windows 11 bc I have the same problem
Windows 10, same here. Looked like a fun Mother's day thing, but nope
It might be an issue that you have missing redistributables which are needed to run the game.
You can try downloading these files and running the game again
I bought the game on steam and it hasn't worked on my windows 11 pc. I tried doing what you said up here but it didn't fix it. I refunded the game on steam and bought it on Itch but it still doesn't open.

Glad you enjoyed it! Also thanks for informing me about the bug, I've managed to fix it in the latest build.
I made this a while ago, since the game deserves to be archived in the different sources and remembered. Hope you appreciate!
