RPGM Completed EMPTY-66822 [v9] [Lonery-Moon]

[corcon]

Yes. Can you please elaborate further on that?

1. I didn't take the key from the room behind the painting.
2. Went further into the basement to the maze with enemies and marks on the floor.
3. Followed the marks down to the left.
4. Got to the room with the pump switch.
5. I cant go anywhere further, even with the use of the guide. As I realised I did something wrong and got stuck. The same maze with enemies no longer apperars. I go straight to the room with the switch.

I will try to loot everithing i can and try again

actualy dont think about it too much, maybe i just miss something

Your supposed to get a screw driver from one of the lockers and use that on the bathroom door and once you have a second keycard you can get to the generator room. After the generator is one you can open a door that is on the right side that was locked. I think that is were you are now.

Also I've been thinking, the player should be able to find a map in the school or the bus stop. Being able to open the inventory and see one of those city layout maps would help people out. A Emergency escape plan Layout on one of the walls of the underground area would be cool too. If you haven't played the game before you have no idea were stuff is. A guide would help for choices or H-Content but I think more indications of "go here or there" and a map would keep that mysterious tone and help direct people better then a guide. You shouldn't really need a guide to play the game more so for choices you have to make.

I have no idea what the story is about...Cool beginning of the game with a mystery to solve and then you are thrown into empty bigass city. The biggest issue though for me is the plot, it feels like dev didnt know which direction he wanted to go so its a bit of everything and i got lost;(

Yes.

I know the direction of the story, but since the game is very short the story is practically non-existent. I could do a huge info dump somewhere in the game, but I don't think it would make much sense.

 

[Kernist]

Ok, I have no idea how to play this game. Everything seems to trigger out of order. I got thrown into the city and I'm out. So far my experience:

1. If you go north during the fishing you see a scene of someone snapping the neck of someone. Then there is some weird dialogue and you go back to fishing again (ok, maybe it was intended).
2. If you don't catch any fish there are 2 fish in your basket anyway. The girl probably caught them herself and threw it into your basket - very cool thing, easy to miss if you play minigame properly.
3. If you pick "kiss" the girl is actually waiting for you outside the house, if you pick "pussy" she is gone, that's very cool design.

Until that point I was really enjoying the game. But now.

4. Walkthrough says something about buying bread but upon returning home some fucking clocker from Payday 2 kills someone and teleports you to school saying to find some girl.
5. If you go right clocker girl is standing there but you can't interact with her.
6. I exited the school, went right and there was first enemy. I won but there was no chance I could win another fight.
7. Breaking planks I found some girl, merchant I suspect. She says she has place very close north of you. I couldn't find her.
8. I entered some complex with broken stairs. I entered one room and jumped down to the floor below. that was a mistake - you get softlocked. Stairs are broken so you can't go back up and elevators are not working.
9. If you die you get teleported to some purgatory of stairs and clocker girl kills you. Then you wake up in some hotel room. You go outside the hotel and black car blinks like you can interact with it. You can't, it's broken.
10. If you go to the building that has chest on the roof enemies there are too strong to do anything.
11. If you go to the hotel without dying you can go to the basement and enable generator. After that you can go to 13th floor and enter one of the rooms - it's the room you wake up in if clocker girl kills you. If you try to exit the room, you are in stairs purgatory again.

And that's the point I shut down the game. I am eager to play it but not without some guide because this game seems like a mess to me. Everything is so out of the place that I no longer know if it intended or everything is bugged. Too bad because the prologue got me interested. I can't even say I dislike the game, I just don't know what it wants from me.

Sequence break. I think I fixed it a week ago. You can re-download the game. Or just don't trigger that spot. It's really hard to watch people sequence break and not realize it. In my opinion that says something about my ability to tell a story. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Nah, it's ok, I wouldn't make this rant if I didn't think this game is worth trying out. And to be honest everything was so convoluted that I honestly thought it was supposed to be like that and connecting the story is the goal of the game. It was just... too much, I was completely lost. So, at what point I broke the game? During fishing - the neck snapping scene? Especially in horrors I like to explore every pixel so I got what I deserved I guess.

To be fair, games these days encourage you to get sidetracked instead of following the main story. You're almost always rewarded for exploring and interacting with things that have no immediate bearing, such as easter eggs, extra/better loot, and secret/true endings. Lore, especially, tends to be scattered all over the place to be found.

Not saying that you should strive for this, just that you should know that people who play games that do that kind of thing are conditioned to look for that.

Just finished the game, it was quite enjoyable and it's rare to see small devs finishing rpgm games on this site so that's a huge + point.

I still have some questions tho

I need help, after completing the bar quests, the bartender only tells me to go away and does not give me a head.

А. Yeah. Head. uh... I've redone this quest. Now... Oh. Uh-huh. My bad. It's not very conveniently done and I only remembered it now. Oops.
Anyway. You have to fail at a job in a bar three times to get the head. If the bartender has already moved to a new place, I don't think you can get the head. I apologize for the inconvenience.

1. For some reason I can't remember exactly what to do, but.
When you get past the first day I think you can go east of home. South of the store there will be events. You have to hit them until you are given the key to Marie's house. Plus for her to open the door in the future, the dead girl has to be untied and washed. That's it

2. How to see all mom scenes? I only got the yoga one. Looking at the files, i think there are more.
On the first or second day, play with your sister on the console, then go to the bathroom to spank the monkey. You can't miss it from there I guess.

3. How many scenes do L-412 and bartender have? So far i only got to see 1 bartender scene
The bartender has two, I think. L had one, but now it's gone. I know it's wrong to show the girls and then not let the player sex them, but I couldn't help it. Sorry.

My English is also a bit weak in this post. But I think the basic meaning is clear. Oops.

Ok, this time neck-snapping scene was impossible to trigger and now I can buy bread (yay!). Now I can enjoy the game.

 

[Kernist]

I fucked up the game again! I don't know what is going on here anymore!

I am supposed to look for a train. I go towards my home. I enter the city. If you go home from the city cutscene where father asks you for help in basement plays. Game bugs out. Restart the game.

I don't enter the home, I go back to the city. This time it's alive like in the sequence when you have to buy bread. I encounter Mari. She takes me to the restaurant. She talks with the waitress while she gives her a beer and... game stops working. I'm done.

 

[Lonery-Moon]

Hm... jawaunw1 wrote that he had the same problem... I've tested it. Everything works fine for me. The problem, as I understood it, was that he was using saves from an old version of the game. The only thing that happens there that could break the game is the appearance of a sprite of food on the table. Perhaps a new version of the game from somewhere else would help (I mean itch.io). I don't know. Maybe something to do with the compression algorithm of the archive by the file-sharing service? Either way, make sure you have the latest version of the game and start a new game. All old saves are not compatible with version 9.

Again. It sounds like a sequence break. I can take a better look if you provide me with your saves, but otherwise I can only advise you to update the game and start a new game.

I updated the game and started new game last time you told me. That's why I even commented that it is not possible to sequence break at fishing anymore.

I tried playing the Mari event 2 times and 2 times it froze at the exact same frame. Waitress puts beer on the table, moves 1 square right going to MC and freezes on that square. That means if square 1 is Mari, square 2 is table between us and square 3 is MC, she freezes right above square 2.

And yes, it is sequence break. When you exit sewers or whatever that is you arrive near the bus stop from the beginning of the game. From there you can go to your home but house is barricaded and you can't enter it. You can go further to the right into the city and it's completely empty.

You can, however, go north while in the city and turn left on the first street that appears. It lets you enter the area with the "old" version of the house which is not barricaded. If you enter the house the scene with father plays (the one I mentioned in previous post) and game breaks because it doesn't move MC properly.

So, you need to ignore the house and go back to the city but the city also plays in it's "old" version. It's night, shop is open, there are like 5 npcs at the bottom and Mari is sitting on the swing. Maybe that's why the game breaks because I was supposed to activate her events earlier and not now. Still, freeze occurs in kinda weird moment.

And like I said, don't bother. A lot of stuff is missable because areas are so big there are like 50 buildings but 5 npcs at best in it. I like exploring but I am not stupid. So it seems I missed whole Mari segment, I missed scenes with mom and probably many more. I won't play it again. Even if someone will write a guide I don't want to go through the chore of fighting enemies again. I enjoyed the game but it's not so good to start from scratch for the third time.

I see. I need to test the game again. Thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry about the way things turned out.

What can I say...

Game is very interesting but there are too many things that doesn't match. Bugs aside:
1. Locations are way too big for the amount of NPCs in them and stuff to do. Really, it's not a problem for me that game has only few NPCs, the problem is how spread they are and how much unused place is in this game.
2. Story is so cryptic and hidden player doesn't want to even pay attention to it, and if he does, he still doesn't understand much. Horrors with "idk what's going on" trope are fun but only when with time everything starts to make sense. Here it doesn't.
3. Not only story, but everything including scenes is so unnecessarily cryptic. Why would I have to work ELEVEN times to unlock a scene? How am I supposed to know to work that many times? Why that many? During work I indeed felt like I was at work. I don't even know how much content I skipped because it's so hidden. Sure, hidden stuff is great, ??? unlock is not so bad, but here I feel like majority of the game is hidden.
4. Maybe I am wrong here due to point 3 but some things look pointless, like helping and being nice to our friend's sister for example. Yeah, I helped her gathering sticks and was not a scum and asked only for a kiss and sure, I got it, but what's next? That's it? I never met her again.
5. And the most important thing in my opinion - combat. So many enemies. Everywhere. Game is so vast and cryptic it should encourage a bit of exploration but it does the opposite by placing enemies literally everywhere. To be perfectly honest game wouldn't lose much if there wouldn't be combat at all. Game would be so much better if you could just defeat enemies on touch (excluding bosses maybe) like many other games do. Enemies here only stretch the play time and are a chore.

Game is unique and fun for a while. There should be more horror eroge. While I played this game I had a feeling it was made by someone who is able to make a good game and has cool ideas, but it was killed by trying to implement too many of these ideas therefore making a lot of things half-assed and on top of that many didn't mix well with each other (look point 5). Did anyone ever used the card system in combat? It's completely pointless.

If you will add "no combat mode" or something like this to the game I will probably play it again. Without having to worry about enemies I wouldn't be discouraged to carefully explore every location in pursuit of scenes and other content. I am curious about stuff I did miss and about how the game will unfold. Until then I am playing EraTohoTW.

 

[Panda0]

i liked the game but i have no idea what i played lol, i got few of mom scenes and in the end 2 diff kind of ending??, i kinda followed the walkthrough but couldnt really do everything in it like the teleporter rune stuff

can anyone just brief me about how many endings are there and if possible how to get them

also does the sister and other females have

 

[randomusernameS]

The game is beautiful and artsytle is amazing. But since the story is paranormal I really don't know If I missed any sex scenes between characters. I only got 3 scenes from the mother yet 0 sex scenes from every other character. How do I know If I missed any scenes or maybe there is no scene at all? Other than that the game is amazing.
