bitmap error at stable scene, then crash
The game's "engine" is older than the Solar System, coupled with "tricky scripts" for processing the plot, it creates wild "memory leaks" - it clogs up the game cache, including "erasing" active locations. Incurable. It can only be cured by saving "around every corner" and then loading it when it crashes. (Proof: it is almost impossible to repeat the same crash after rebooting the game)

I don't understand all the discussion about where the developer lives, how much they make, and other stuff. What's important is that a game that was fun to play now seems like it's going to get updates. If someone wants to support the developer—whether financially, with suggestions, or even with code—that’s great. But if you don't want to do that, at least stop criticizing everything they do. If you don't like it, just don't play. Simple as that.

okay so read through here but, I still can't trigger laundry room event with Vera is there something i'm missing?
At Night (not Late Night), when all the characters are not in their bedrooms, go to the laundry room, Vera is there, talk to her, she will stop you at the exit, that's when everything starts spin... Just keep going there every Night ...
P.S. I won't tell you at what level of Arousal she will talk to you, I didn't check, I just fraudulently "wound" her up to the maximum 70...

are there any events at night not too late at night or is everything still in the works?
Lucile and Martha are still under development, but there’s a small event with Vera that takes place in the laundry room located under the stairs near the first-floor bathroom. It’s a little door built right into the staircase.

It is unfortunate that. The fact that there are still basic options not implemented since the first versions is a clear reflection of poor management. The last time I tried the game was about three years ago and, going back now, I keep coming across the annoying word “placeholder” and "not implemented" in many of the scenes. One of the biggest problems with the game is not the game itself, but its developer, Dr. Bones, who seems bent on constantly self-sabotaging himself with bad decisions.

Instead of focusing on finishing what he has already created “The Manor”, he decides to start the development of another project “Survivor Guilt”. The most logical thing to do with this game would have been to divide the game into segments, work in parts, finish a complete block and then move on to the next one. But no. Bones is dedicated to adding new scenes while also working on the old ones, rather than choosing a single approach. Doing both at the same time, and at such a slow pace of development on top of that, is a recipe for disaster. What he redoes today is already obsolete tomorrow because of how long it takes to release updates, so he would keep doing the same thing until he or his community gets tired of it.

And to top it all off, it seems to only rush to release content when the game gets the “Abandoned” tag, as if it's just a matter of temporarily removing that stain and then returning to its erratic pace. Because there's no other way to explain so long without real progress. Not to mention the mini update v0.20.0a that was divided into two parts and, surprise, was left incomplete and then v0.30 arrived loaded with bugs...

About the visuals, the old art really isn't bad, and instead of spending time redoing entire scenes, if you wanted your game to have more quality you could have opted for a resolution increase. In fact, the community already did it with artificial intelligence in version 0.20 and the result was pretty decent. I'm not saying it's wrong to want to improve on the above, but doing so in a project that lacks a sufficient team of developers is, honestly, a clumsy decision.

If Dr. Bones was able to create this game, he can also create another one just as good or better. “Survivor Guilt” looks very promising. People are not going to stop supporting him if he simply finishes what he started. But it gives the impression that he is afraid of closing the project, as if the day he finishes it, the support will also end.

I clarify that this criticism does not seek to attack anyone, I simply wanted to express what I think many of us feel. It is a shame to see how the +18 game developers community in this side of the world has been taking a course in which the important thing is no longer to offer a good product.

I encountered a bug. At late night, when Lucile going downastairs to check where is the scary sound comes from (near kitchen) nothing hapens. MC just stuck on bed, I can change facing directions by presing move buttons but I will stay in bed and Lucile stays in hers too, wthout going downstairs.
Any solution? Or reinstalling game will help with this issue?

Can someone please tell me if at least the previous scenes are still in the game? If the previous scenes are not in the new game, then should I continue with version 20 because I haven't reached the end yet?!
