I'm a pretty fast reader. If I spend 1-3 seconds before hitting enter, how long will the the current version take to finish?

Ok, but try to make a logical guess on how much content is in this game. Are we talking closer to 1-2 hours? 3-5 hours? 6-8 hours? or 8-10 hours?it is sandboxyour particular skill is useless here
Also, any chance of a walkthrough?

a first release, despite its being labeled as 0.3.
there is 1-2h of content, depending on your particular gaming skills.
walkthrough isnt that needed for now (though there are a few minigames where it could come handy, such as poker for example), yet i would take a wild guess and say walkthrough creators (such as joker leader) will make one as the game progresses.

Another question: I just earned over 1.3k on the roulette game, is this gonna carry me through most of the current version?

It'd be nice to know if I'm actually picking good dialogue choices, and it'd be nice to know what and where the out of the place items are.

Ok, first time where I really need a walkthrough. I'm stuck on the fixing the computer. Can someone please tell me what I need to do?
It'd be really cool if someone made a mini-walkthrough covering parts like these.

Replacing the VGA cable is a standard practice, and was not an option on the list. Again, I work in IT, I'm very good at it, and I still think this part of the game is not good as is. Checking a few other basic things first: power, and how well seated the monitor cable is on both ends is standard practice. Never got to an option to swap out the cable. Dude just says I'll have to take this back to my desk (where he won't be able to work on it).The solution to the monitor troubleshooting itself was very simple. If someone can't figure out the problem is with the VGA cable after plugging it into a different machine and getting the same results, then I'd question their alleged "high degree of PC troubleshooting competency".
Teasing aside, I don't think the difficulty of the problem is what people are really frustrated with...
I think the problem people are having is the way the variable is set up right now. Currently, the condition is set totest1 > 7, and it starts counting before he even tries any solutions. In the first half of the minigame (the part where he is asking Ann questions), people's first instinct will be to ask each question in order from top to bottom and there are 9 questions. Well... that means they are going to run out of test counters BEFORE he even finishes asking the questions. I think this is why people are getting frustrated. It's not intuitive the way it is right now. I only avoided this problem myself because I'm a dirty cheater and I rolled back after every question.
My advice would be to change it so thattest1doesn't start counting until after the player has selected "Ready for troubleshooting actions". At which point, the MC is actually testing different solutions.
Once the player is on the second menu (with the troubleshooting steps), then if they still can't figure out the solution within 7 tests, then that's entirely on them.

Other parts of the game were interesting, and not liking the troubleshooting minigames wouldn't keep me from seeing where the story goes from here.

On the second menu (with the troubleshooting steps), I think the 4th option down is to try plugging the VGA cable into MC's own monitor to see if the problem replicates. His own monitor doesn't display anything, so he knows the problem is with the cable itself.
After that, the option to replace the VGA cable appears at the bottom of the menu. So the context of the steps seems pretty practical to me. It'd be silly to replace the cables before confirming that they're the problem.
Like I mentioned earlier though, I think your frustration is coming from the
test1 counter. The questions count against the counter, but they're also skippable. But if he says he has to take it back to his desk, then that means you ran out of attempts before replacing the VGA cable.

O
thanks for quoting this, it opens with notepad. God, I wish that I knew this going in. I wasted so much time!
It's 0.3 as I needed 0.1 and 0.2 to make changes after my testers came up with feedback, didn't think the numbering mattered that much, it's indeed the first release - first chapter
You only need like 300 for the first chapter, you'll unlock a store with lots of stuff to buy, which will be needed for next chapters
I already made a walkthrough myself, it's hidden in the game folders as pointed out somewhere in this forum, or you can join the discord channel which has the walkthrough in the help-needed channel
You say you need to take it back to your desk because you took too long in figuring out what the issue was. Like Jericho mentioned the counter of how many choices you try before figuring it out already start at screen 1, so if you just keep on trying stuff you'll run out soon and will have to take it back to your desk.
I'm glad, thanks
You just open it with a text reader and read what's inside.
There's also a version on my discord channel which may be easier for you to access - channel "Help-needed"
This was my reasoning
I'm still of the opinion that it's more fun to try stuff out yourself first, so I don't think you wasted time

If it's all the same, I'd much rather follow a walkthrough than go through something blindly whenever possible.I'm still of the opinion that it's more fun to try stuff out yourself first, so I don't think you wasted time

The models look hot, the 'plot' is okay so far but the game just isn't fun to play.
