First off, no you can't skip because there's some narrative stuff that's tied to the puzzles as they progress, so skipping it basically skips a chunk of said narrative, which the dev does not want to do as he has a story to tell.

Second, an official walkthrough exists (it's right up there in the first page of this thread, and gets released alongside the release of the highest tier patreon update, which is usually leaked in this site). You can use that if you happen to be stuck and don't want to go through the trouble of solving the puzzle on your own.

I think it is great that the game has such passionate fans as you. And I think it is nice that the developer has a story he wants to tell. However, not all people are good at puzzles (I did read the walkthrough, but I never could find the "Outside Part", so that just frustrated me, anyway I tried. But you don't need to be snarky and say "don't want to go through the trouble", because I did try, sorry if I am not as great as you are. I only made the post so the developer can maybe think about alternate ways to let his story be enjoyed by everyone, not just those that are good at puzzles. I have always been of the opinion, that if a game need guides, walkthroughs or cheats... then that is a problem with the game design.. too complex, to hard, to grindy etc...

Well I am sure the developer appreciates your devotion to his game. I wish the developer the best of luck. peace.

Its not really a puzzle though. The only thing you need to do go everywhere you can and talk to all the characters in each round.

I am making this post because I think its a shame for someone to drop the game at this point because of this.

First let me say.. game looks great. But unfortunately I didn't finish the game... I just can't stand the puzzles, I got up to the part in the game with the robot and trying to figure out who killed the guy... I failed even with the cheat mod. So that is where I stopped. I deleted the game. For me it is the end of playing this game, I just don't like that puzzle/sandbox type of stuff. It makes me sad because I really liked the charters and for the most part the story. I wish devs would put a skip or solve type of thing into games that have puzzles, then players can keep playing.

With the cheat mod, in the top right there should be a button that says help that will give you a step by step walkthrough of all the sandbox elements of the game. It should also give you the answers to any of the puzzles that require remembering stuff or counting.

When you're in the hall with the robot, the arrow pointing down/right (kinda at you) is the one that takes you outside.

The updates average two a year (5-6 months per update), we just got v6, there's an expectation of anything from 12 to 20 chapters in total (the only CONCRETE statement is that it won't end on the 10th update though), so ...

So another 7 years before this game is done.

In any case, I do have a question. Can we report bugs here? Or, since I'm not a backer, I guess it would get ignored. I just hope a backer is able to send this report along the proper channels to get it in front of Caribdis. I was testing out various options to see what the dialogue is, and I chose to leave the college party early with the EXIT arrow. The heart-progress-tracker thing never reappeared. I went into "the next day" transition but the tracker still didn't show up at all. My guess is that the EXIT arrow doesn't have the code to re enable the tracker. I didn't read any of the text, so it could very well be that this is an ending to the game and thus there is no need for the tracker since the MC decided to go back to the UK.

Anyway, that's the bug. If someone could submit that in the proper location. I don't know where Cari reads feedback. My guess is on Patreon, but since I'm not a backer at the moment, I can't let him know. Thanks

Well, he is the "master" of this thread, so who knows what he does or does not see (This thread is pretty insane, he may have given up on it). Not sure if anyone can join Discord or not, but you could try there (link in OP). Also, pretty sure you can leave comments on the itch.io page, and I've seen him respond there (link also in OP).

Expectation is based on Cari's response on the matter so there is that...

12-20_update.png

That said, it probably won't reach 20 unless he introduces a bunch of new stuff in later updates that would necessitate having to stretch the plot for even longer.
