Embay Circle

I am stuck in the hallway after grabbing the light and the mysterious box, as well as Nick's clothes and the light. For whatever reason the game will not let me go back up the stairs which is what the guide says I should do.

I got the glasses, but I don't have the keys. I'm stuck in the box.The dragon doesn't talk to me. How do I get to the roof?

lbq1995lbq

Is there a guide for this? I can't for the life of me figure out some of these commands.

hey I cant access the game at all, download link and Itch.io are not working? is this a problem for alot of people???

The download link has expired and the itch.io link isn't working for me :(

*SPOILERS maybe??* Word of warning guys, while controlling Bud, DO NOT try to be slick and climb through the window like you did with Devin. It breaks the game and glitches your items so any items you had with Devin will be replaced with Buds so anything you had with Devin will be GONE. I figured this out the hard way after 5 hours of gameplay and didn’t save (my fault).

Just finished the game for the first time. Have to say, other than one or two small hiccups i found, the rest of it runs pretty smoothly and was a fun experience too. Will be trying to get some more different endings some time later too. Dyne man really nice work in this small story, and marks art was beautiful too. I just have to say this. If you release it for public sales later like you did with "endless bounty", you must add different ending scenes too! Just reading the story and a couple of the endings, really makes me wonder how it might look like too XD.

Amazing, loved getting a hot werewolf bf. A few specific things I would like to point out that I really struggled with (I turned to a guide): 1) The loose board in the fence. I didn't realize you had to "push" the board. I tried look, get, and even a few random ones like break and (ironically enough) pull. I would recommend, firstly, making it more obvious that you should examine the fence, and secondly, saying something when you examine the fence or similar like "it looks like I could push this loose board out of the way" or something with push being red. 2) Getting into the window. Just mention that there is a tree nearby. I can't try to climb something that I literally don't know exists. 3) Getting water. I had no idea there was a creek in the Northwest section of the forest offshoot. It should probably be mentioned when you enter the area or something. A few other misc things. Took me a bit to think to call out to Bud from the roof. I didn't think to use the pen as a key. I struggled to interact with the cauldron originally so I didn't end up finding the key without the guide. These are just my thoughts on some harder parts but it definitely didn't take away from the game very much, I loved the designs and personalities of both Nick and his dad. AMAZING job for only taking 1 month.

Tipmon

Try "give draught"

Tipmon

I can't give restorative draught to Zadaeil... I typed "give restorative draught" and "show restorative draught" but no dice. Both these commands worked before with other items??

MaelstromGrim

My experience was it wasn't super intuitive what to examine, push, move to, and the trial and error got repetitive in the typing format. My biggest struggle is using the lighter function. I'm not sure how it works. I hope there will be some kind of guide for this for those that are lost!

Sabi Sigma

Ok I'm stuck at the building in the dark forest. I never did that well with text driven games like this. Fun but I seems to keep missing that certain item/command to keep progressing the game.

Mestev

I cant drink the minotaur potion what do i need to type, already asked him if he'd prefer me or the demon

Banjo K!

I was wondering if we get to see Nick´s and Brett´s human forms naked, I gave them the potions and they hold them back until the endgame but Visually they never turn back to normal.

David Pichardo

yeah me too,, im totally stuck

Ok i am not sure if i am stupid or just not understanding how this works but I am like 10 minute sin and already lost. I picked up the phone and went all over the house back up to bud and just nothing is happening i tried "use phone" in like every room and nothing

Sage Taiga

(TBH, this is the first and last one I will ever make X3)

DyneWulf

For a "text adventure prototype" I think you're off to a pretty good start! The story is good and the puzzles were interesting. Some of them were a little cumbersome/difficult but I think that's understandable for a first outing. As a TF enthusiast I'm obviously biased but would have been fun to see Devin or Buddy transformed as well. Overall: I'd be very interested to see updates to this or similar games!

Frost Knight

I absolutely adore this game. Really reminds of CaptainGerBear's See No Evil, and that's a good thing imo. Keep up the good work!

Carter Lamberton

Hmmm, I'll have to go back and check. There were some things I might have forgotten to take into account there towrads the end.

DyneWulf

'use key on door' to unlock the door~

DyneWulf

Thanks a bunch, Hyao! I'm glad to hear you had a good time with it. It was a bit of a tough one for me to handle this year, buuuut.... I ended up happy overall.

DyneWulf

I hope that this helps folks out, haha. I was gonna do a guide myself, but I might not have to now! (Though maybe an official would still make some people happy x3)

DyneWulf

THank you! Glad to hear there was some enjoyment here :)

DyneWulf

I have finished it, and I can say with out a doubt that I DO NOT like text based adventure games! XD

Silverjack

Like play with him after you take the rod out of him?

Jo_Jo1999

do what with the minotaur?

Zamiel Sailgait

Anyone know how to do the Minotaur cause it’s confusing

Jo_Jo1999

How did u finish him cause I can’t I keep typing different stuff to do to him but nothing

Jo_Jo1999

type check car?

Zamiel Sailgait

Ok I’m stuck I just started and the main character is saying he need to check the car I don’t know what to do any tips?

Jo_Jo1999

It's hilarious that the main characters name is Devin and so is my name lol.

Kaidan

That was really fun. Great story and love the characters. All of it was great. Awesome job.

Rich Anthony

to everyone having trouble with the game or are stuck at a certain point, myself and a few others in the discord server have written and full walkthrough for the game. you can follow it when you're stuck (spoiler warning, obviously) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vFJKAupsJLu0DjY0iVAyHwS_OdGh83Frz3wKXn6DdJA/edit?usp=sharing if you're still stuck at a part, please join the discord here https://discord.gg/42jAfyE and tag me! @nigel

Nigel

Okay this is not Fun i would rather have this game a point and click game instead of typing command to do stuff.

Everos

Wow, what a great game. It was a lot of fun. I had troubles figuring out what to do in few places, but eventually I manage to reach the end, so I'm happy :D The story is well written, the gui looks really nice and smooth. Backgrounds and sprites are amazing. All of you did a great job with this one :)

Hyao

type Climb tree to get inside

Banjo K!

What do I need to type to get on to the roof, I have the key but cant promt unlocking the door

Banjo K!

don't know what to do after finding the window sealed.

Nova974

just how can you climb to the window when talking to bud makes you talk to yourself

David Pichardo

did you got it right?

David Pichardo

Really nice game man! Had to try a couple of things to get through some staff, but it worth it as i kept moving forward. Gonna be giving it a couple of more tries too! I do believe i found some issues, but i let them in the link you gave. Other than that, it is really nice! Again, really nice work, both you and the rest of the team! Take care you all, and a happy Halloween too

Xeralex

still need help?

Zamiel Sailgait

climb a tree. it's a bit obscure but it is in a forest afterall

Zamiel Sailgait

and after several hours of trial and error on many parts i've finally finished the game. great game, some things are a little obscure though. btw, are you able to give the dragon and minotaur glamour potions? becuase every time i tried it told be i have none on me but i did...

Zamiel Sailgait

Take Object

Eric Fullswipe

I found the phone but I can't talk to Buddy. what's the execution text?

hello sorry to disturb but I can not enter the building ^^ 'help me pls

You need buddy for this one and both perspectives. That was has two sides, when you push a box, it gets pressed out on the other side of the wall so you would need buddy to help you make the patterns on the door. When the box puzzle shows "empty" space it means that box needs to be pressed and glowing, when the box is crossed off it means the box needs to be pushed out and not glowing. Just match the patterns on the doors with the boxes on the panels.

Oyaji

You don't get them, you only use them when you use the cauldron while putting in ingredients.

Oyaji

okay, how exactly do oyu get any of the powders...

Zamiel Sailgait

you need t oopen the box first and give the key to buddy, the grenhouse is on his side

Zamiel Sailgait

I hear talk of this greenhouse but I can't figure out how to get there or to get outside.

Sheeefy

I’m stuck with the barrier and the doors down in the basement can some help me out with that one

Darryl Griffin Jr.

burn the door that has a flame on it

Zamiel Sailgait

if you mean the room puzzel, try pushing the boxes

Zamiel Sailgait

I am assuming this grid is some sort of puzzle but I can't figure out what command to use to interact with the stupid boxes. It would be helpful to know what command is used to interact with a puzzle because every command used to far does not work on ANY of the boxes and using "help" does not help at all.

Dkrewe

Help my ass pls you are ahead xD

It's in the study, the same room you found the clothes and lighter in. You'll need to unlock the drawer using the spoon of all things.

Frost Knight

How do I get to the lab??

Darryl Griffin Jr.

I cannot find the glasses for the life of me. Any help?

RadicalZack

keep talking to him and eventually he'll come with you to the backyard, you have to have been to the backyard and frontyard though

Zamiel Sailgait

check the lab

Zamiel Sailgait

What's the input for making Bud talk with you after finding Nick's phone in the yard? I just can't do it lol. Pls help!

Use the pen on the door with the round keyhole

Stuck in Gamer 123

Do you know how to make the potion for Dragon?

Stuck in Gamer 123

I’m in the part where I need to make a potion for Dragon, but I’m lost. Help? Please?

Stuck in Gamer 123

SPOILERS

Stuck in Gamer 123

how do you get the spoon

Darryl Griffin Jr.

Loved the game, but I wish Devin could have some fun with Brett and Bud.

Oyaji

Examine the fence then talk to Buddy

Frost Knight

I have the lighter, used the glass on the book, and have the vial, but now I just don't know what to do with everything after being able to not go down the stairs lol

I’m in the same spot. I remember there was a creek on the way to the building, but nothing you could do with it.

Stuck in Gamer 123

Did you examine the clothes and find the lighter?

Frost Knight

lmao I have no idea what to do now. I have the box, pen and notebook, and all the pathways are still locked. What do I do?

I'm stuck trying to make a potion for the first time. Where do you get all the ingredients? I think I need water

Frost Knight

does nayone have any clues as to how the box pushing thing works? somehow i got to open every room atleast once except top right/ devins north room...

Zamiel Sailgait

you can grab nicks phone in the backyard but not sure if you need it for something

Zamiel Sailgait

I’m in the building but I’m not sure I have everything that I need... I have the pen, the box, and the notebook... am I supposed to have anything from Nick’s house? I’m worried I got to this part of the game without something I need.

Stuck in Gamer 123

or you could just open the box

Zamiel Sailgait

grats on making this game so quickly dyne!! it's super cool so far but i'm about ready to stab my eyes with the silver tea spoon :D i've got the glasses, everything's locked and i'm just going to stay here and smash the box repeatedly until the game breaks and lets me pity-win

Wuffings

okay, seriously, how do i get the glasses? and how do i get the damn spoon? devin refuses to take it from the dragons room

Zamiel Sailgait

managed to find the dragon and got completely stuck from there. Any help?

Cozzy

I've noticed a problem with the ending, it seems my inventory empties out when we all leave the place together...is that suppose to happen? I made a glamour but I can't use it...?

LLVPandaSevron

climb a tree

Zamiel Sailgait

okay, i'm stuck on the west side of the building, have no idea where the glasses are and can't grab a spoon...

Zamiel Sailgait

i feel dumb.. ask me to check the vehicle after i arrive the scene.. hahaahah i couldnt figure a single thing

Steev Heart

So far ... loving it, xd especially the minotaur <3

AL

Im stuck at the building...there are no viable answers and talk to buddy just makes you talk to yourself :/

Alanthier Seorn

I'm just gonna wait until there is a guide.

Silverjack

Im stuck in backyard with buddy dont know what to do next?

Bigerbear

Yeah, I figured that might happen with non-native speakers. A lot of cases don't need more than something like 'talk bud' to activate. (You don't have to add the 'to' in there)

DyneWulf

I got stuck on the building in the woods area. a nod to the player in one of the descriptive texts for "look building" "look room" "look window" about the needed keyword might alleviate some frustration. replaying to make sure I didn't miss the hint in the dialogue when you first enter the scene, and I think that's where I got the idea to scale the wall or somehow utilize buddy to climb up. I don't know if it was on purpose but trying to "talk Buddy" while here causes the player to talk to himself. That made me feel like my game had glitched and I was in an unbeatable situation and I restarted.

Serph

No there's one in the corner once you go pass the staircase that has collapsed

jovuan Jackson

Finally, I've been waiting for this, anticipating the excitement, and what do I see first...the puppy...cuddle time on Halloween 🎃😍🎃

LLVPandaSevron

does the door have a flame on it?

Alex

I'm stuck on the west of the second floor of the building and there's a wooden door blocking a room I used the lighter but it didn't work

jovuan Jackson

The Panel is a two person job, you need to have Bud on one side and Devin on the other. Its one of the most furstarting parts of the game.

Alex

I'm at a panel, and there are four boxes. The only interaction that works is push, but it doesn't do anything, and pull, remove, take, get all don't work, but the doors nearby suggest I need to deactivate them somehow

Andrew

these games always confuse me i am not a fan of game that have you typing answer or typing to move it is irritating. Also i really hate puzzles.

Everos

Always a pleasure seeing the stuff you do Dyne, another special something for Halloweeny, Judging by the comments not many are fans of text based adventure games, oh and thinking. My first text based adventure game was Zork the very first, and yes It just came out and computers were still mono, no colours. Yeay. Still you did an amaizing job in so short a time, Thanks

Peterwolf

I'm still stuck trying to get into the building D:

jay

Very fun, got one ending but I assume there are more. I liked the text input/puzzle system for playing through it, but it gets a little tedious at times. Would be nice if players could just type "n" "s" "e" "w" etc. to navigate for example

Cam

nice a new game, but this is super confusing for people not native english. not to be rude but talk to sombody is not a good hint when talk to bud/buddy do not work not even speak to bud work what other way do you talk to people, or am i so stupid not understanding what to do. oh god i am stupid found the secret after like 30-40 min going to every room in the house and the hint was 2nd thing i found >_<

Jørn-Tore

Hopefully it's not frustrating to the EXTREME, but I might have also watched too much Space Quest stuff for inspiration... Hahaha

DyneWulf

Thank you! Happy Halloweeeeen!

DyneWulf

Thank you so much! This one was a real doozie, but I had some great help in the final stretch!

DyneWulf

I saw a fan made this discord a long time ago to discuss the game, might be best to al join up there as well https://discord.com/invite/42jAfyE

Nigel

Is there a good place we can discuss the game without giving away spoilers I'm kind of stuck myself

Donovan Grayson

Came seeking the same answer.

Ron

Looks interesting! Can’t wait to try it tonight!

Quickk

awesome game so far! would it be possible to get a guide? I am totally stuck trying to get into the building. this game might be too smart for me :D

Nigel

Been looking forward to this reveal for a while; I'm really excited to play it! Always been a fan of text adventure games, so this'll be a blast! Happy Halloween!!

The Mysterious M3tav0X

Thanks Dyne! Can't wait to play this

Anon Pseudo

Congratulations Dyne, and happy Halloween! 🎃

Congratulations on getting the project done! I'm always amazed at how you manage to get these games out in the limited amount of time that you do.
