How can I unlock the full gallery without needing to play the fullgame all over again? I started from the last day as a returning player.

What happened with Patreon? Are you going to find another site to get donations? I like your work and feel bad that I didn't shoot you a few bucks when I had the chance. I have very little money, but I feel like you're a good guy even though I don't know you.

Well... you can't. If you want to see all you gotta play it all :p

Can't get money from it anymore. Or anywhere else at this point. Thanks for the concern though!
You should probably keep that money to yourself, because I would have wasted it on alcohol, lol

This game is a bit weird compared to other RPG-Maker games, I like these weird things. But I think map needs some optimization.

So, finished all available content for the first run through. I guess I missed something in the gallery (at least, I think I only missed one thing in the Gallery) and it was the top left "secret image" from approaching a certain door multiple days in a row. Would be nice to know which door I'm meant to check out. Off the top of my head:

You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

Anyway, aside from that lingering mystery I enjoyed my time. Psychological horror is hard to do well and while I can't say I'm ever actually scared during the game I am usually somewhat unnerved. I've enjoyed the majority of the twists and am excited to see more. I would throw you cash if you could still take it.

Also, if you haven't played Weird and Unfortunate Things Are Happening I would absolutely commit the like 20 hours it takes to play. Its a masterclass in Lovecraftian horror. No porn, sadly, but its still a damn good time and might offer some inspiration for other RPG maker lovecraftian ideas.

Last note: I personally think instant game-over enemies are bad in like 95% of all situations in video games. I don't mind throwing in the occasional one (Resident Evil Village does a pretty cool sequence with the baby that instant kills you) but just filling a room with a handful of sprites that instantly end your game is frustrating rather than scary. I was lucky enough to get through with only the occasional bump with a IGO enemy, though I did lose about 30 minutes of progress at one point which was frustrating. I say this, not because I expect you to go back and change that which would be absurd, but because I think the couple BIG chase sequences you did were really good while the random small enemies might have been better as random encounters mixed with fixed Sanity loss. You could recoup the Sanity lost, to an extent, with the Symbol spell in the fights while still having limited mana and be encouraged to avoid the fights. For instance, the Fire Escape sequence and the Apartment escape sequence both felt very tense while the random mobs occasionally wandering about the Hotel or the one room in the Club felt kinda lame. And like, I say this feedback out of my intense satisfaction with the game. When the rest of the game is so charming I want to see all the edges polished. Excellent work m8t

Thank you very much.
I always enjoy reading these huge messages about my game :)
I still can't accept money at the moment...

The door is indeed between musicians and Clare's. You need to interact in both Plane's (for the first 3 days) in order for the event to appear.

I'll check the game out, 20 hours sounds daunting, but I spent much more on other games. And I do enjoy weird stuff (as if you couldn't tell, lol).

It's a good idea. The reason it's this way is quite simple. Fights are surprisingly hard to do correctly. But the idea is nice. Maybe not all enemies have to cause instant game over. I'll see what I can do for day 9.

Anyway, thank you for enjoying this game, sorry for the slow updates.

Updates are fine, friend. Take your time. I'd rather the game be good than be rushed.

And I might have oversold how long Weird and Unfortunate Things are Happening would take, you can probably finish the main campaign in 12 or so hours if you're exploring everything. 6-8 if you're rushing past without doing side content and checking out the text boxes on objects. But they do a really good job of doing like Earthbound meets even more Lovecraftian Horror and I think its a masterpiece of a RPG maker game.

Hope you stay safe over there, wartime's no good for anyone.

Yeah, SubscribeStar welcomes Russian people as far as I know.
They may very well welcome us, but until we can receive money from outside sources, it's doesn't matter where I go.

would be a great addition if animated! i liek this kind of art
That's WAY above my skill level. And animators are expensive as all get out (obviously, it's a lot of work).
Sorry!

Anyway, day 9 is development. Slowly (of course). As always, sorry about that.

I like this game a LOT.
Prison bit reminded me of that TOOL song (Prison Sex), with the doll and doing unto others what has been done unto you and everything. Wonder if that inspired the dev.
You know it's a top notch game when you would like even if it didn't have anything 18+
Looking forward to any updates :giggle:

@Dushniy, you can try Boosty. I've supported some creators on boosty before. Boosty supports the display of Russian and English; I've been attempting to pay creators with an international credit card before, and it worked; you can try it
I hope you can keep creating, and I hope boosty suits your situation.

Thank you! I am working on it. I reckon it's about 50% done at this point. Finished a new cool spell animation today.
I haven't heard the TOOL song before, but by the looks of the clip it's definitely something I like.

So, the MC has fatal insomnia disorder?
Maybe? You'll know more by the end! I think you'll see it in about 2 or 3 updates.

I am trying it out currently. Have to see if I actually receive the money. If yes, that would be cool, of course :). Thanks for the tip!

I hope you can get the money.
Two weeks ago, I paid 350 rubles on boosty to support the creator, the money was converted into USD at the exchange rate, and the payment was successful, but I am not sure how much the creator will get.

Please don't stop creating, your game is very good, and the unique graphics style and interesting story are very attractive; I am looking forward to the story of Day 9; I wish you all the best, take care of yourself and be safe.
