So. There are two options. You can give me your save file and I can look into it.
Or you can wait for the new update. It's not coming anytime soon, but sooner or later it will come.
I'm ashamed and very sorry you've encountered this kind of thing. If it were up to me, I would have already hidden this game so as not to make people go through all this, but there is no such option, hehe

NEED HELP!!
I just finished my first playthrough and have no problems, I mean NOTHING. And got L-412 and ??? Endings.
But when I started the second playthrough, I found a bug in part 3 (after the radio tower) MC got stuck in front of the bookshelf in his room after Dad called MC to go to the basement. I don't know how it happens.
If somebody knows how to fix or have a file save after MC goes downstairs
please let me know.
PS. I really love your game and art style
PSS. Sorry for my English skills. It is not my mother league.

This was one of the weirdest games I've ever played. Starts seemingly as a typical school setting, then suddenly goes Silent Hill with you needing to avoid enemies, to thrn you becoming overpowered and killing everything in your path for no rewards after serving a few tables, to going back to school the setting and dropping the combat altogether, complete with random stuff happening like mom suddenly having the hots out of nowhere lol. Overall it was fun, but way too random. Wished I could've banged the sister at least.

I've gotta share my two cents on this game, cause it's a rare gem.
In short, amazing atmosphere and characters, and a well written horror narrative. But I also disliked the ending and feel the need to talk about it.
I followed the guide and saw ED 3. I don't dislike bummer endings, they just have to click right, fit the narrative and be satisfying in their own way. I don't think this ending was satisfying.
To go back to the positive note, I wanna say that the air of mystery and the horrific atmosphere throughout the game is great. You get some answers in ED 3 which is good, and they make sense but they don't lift the veil completely. This is fantastic writing in my opinion, a horror game should never reveal too much but shouldn't completely confuse the player either. And this game does this very well. It reminds me of Fear and Hunger in the best possible way.
Despite all of this, honestly, I think the game should've also had a bittersweet ending. It's simply bitter, and unsatisfying. There can't be any victories in the world these characters inhabit, but an ending where at least the MC, Mari and ZombAnn survive would've been nice I think. That could've been the ending that you had to work to get. Instead, you have to work to get to see Mari die in front of the MC right after a tender moment. She has too little of an arc, and basically a single scene with the kiss at the end. Her death also felt bad because it feels preventable somehow, but it isn't.
I'll come back to the F&H comparison, a bleak game as well, but it offered some bittersweet if not downright hopeful endings, especially the second game, which offers the player the possibility to save everyone but themselves, a good reward for those going out of their way to achieve it.
Another comparison to draw is Silent Hill 2. It has a hopeful ending with Leave, and I think it's a good game to reference here because arguably James Sunderland does not deserve that ending. The story of the game happens because he is a horrible person, the answer to why he is suffering is simple, he's the architect of his own nightmare.
The MC and his friends in EMPTY are, contrastingly, innocent. Suffering happens to them because the narrative demands it and you're left as a player waiting for the moment the light starts shining through, but it never does, it gets completely snuffed out instead. It's all lows and that just doesn't work in my eyes.
In any case, amazing job on the game Lonery-Moon. Hope my thoughts on the ending don't come across as too harsh, and that you'll consider adding a bit of light to the story with the updates you're working on.
I've noticed the itchio link leads to an empty page at the moment. When you put it back up I'd be more than happy to buy it, it really was a good experience.
