don't work, just open cheat engine BEFORE the game, and then start the game and you can attach with cheat engine

I've played for around a hour and a half, here's my thoughts and finds.
-RNG
The fact that the layout of the mansion chnages (and with it, the locations of the keys too) every time you replay is something I find both good and bad. On one hand it keeps the game fresh, but on the other it undervalues previous runs since you can't rely on the knowledge you've gained from them.
This makes the game heavily RNG dependant, which isn't something bad, but I think making some things permanent would make it more interesting.
-AI
The ghost waifu tends to get stuck on some doors, but aside from that, she works fine for the game she's in.
-Map
The map is a useful tool, but having to constantly open and close it gets tiring really fast. Having it open at all times would help the player to better navigate their way around the mansion, which would probably counterbalance the constant changing of the mansion's layout.
So imo a good balance would be to either have a constant layout and the current map, or the current, changing layout and an always opened map.
-Items
The scanner is way too "weak" imo. It might be a skill issue on my side, but memorizing the locations of multiple points of interest in a matter of seconds, while I'm being chased in a mansion that has 3 floors is hardly a "benefit". I'd change it to either last longer or to give a rough indication of a single key on the map.
-Shop
The shop seems way too grindy. 2500 points for a single outfit means that, if you're lucky and skilled enough to get all the 5 keys, but die before escaping, you have to pull this exact same thing off 10 times just to buy it. Definitely not fun.
-Shop power ups
The proximity key detector is close to useless. It displays "cold" 90% of the times, which is useless as a hint. Add to this the fact that it displays "medium" only when you are VERY close to a key, which again, is useless.
Decreasing the "cold" radius and incresing the "medium" one would make it a better tool.
The key shine is a much better detector than the detector itself. It makes the keys shine (which isn't that big of a help since the keys are easily recogniseable even without it) but, more importantly, it gives them an SFX when you'reclose to them, which is the actual, useful upgrade.
-Bugs
If you jump while sprinting you don't use your stamina. The dev probably coded the sprint to decrease only when you're touching the ground.
If you use your stamina while using the map (which stops time), you can replenish your stamina bar in stopped time.
Some doors get spawned inside a wall, which makes it extremely hard to open them. If you manage to open one you get rewarded for your efforts with... a wall.
On one run the waifu stopped dealing damage (with no apparent reason), which allowed me to better explore the mansion and beat the game.
Not really a bug but the detection for item picking is too small imo. I had a hard time picking objects up, especially whe nI was being followed.
-----------------------------------------------
I know it probably looks like I hated the game, but I actually had a good time with it. The graphics, the jiggle, the animations, the SFXs the camera and controls are very good, especially compared to most other games on F95. Good work dev!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll get the full save to actually enjoy the "rousal" part of this "scarousal" experience.

This was amazing even before any adult things were unlocked, I'm not sure what makes her faster, my guess is keys or shes naturally a bullet, but when she's on you, she's on you. crouching didnt seem to do much but it was nice to dream, though the positives of this are astounding. As a game this hard succeeds, i wish there was more to it solely because it has that potential, as an adult game, this has so, so, so much more potential. First and foremost, its a game, not hard to grasp mechanics, fun, simple yet works how I'd imagine its intended to. the adult aspect could do so much with this, if that was the plan i'd loved to see grab attacks, or traps for either party to set up/fall into, even another ghost waifu on the larger sized maps wouldve been amazing. though as redundant as this is i cant get over that i was having fun with this as a game, before an adult game and not complaining about the process
I really wish there was more to this, its wonderful.

honestly here's a take i'd want you to consider about each topic
anything I agree with i wont mention
RNG
If you had a set path it'd just be porn scene grind simulator A and not much of a game, especially if the intent is to play it before beating your meat like it owes you
Items
The scanner is good for general directions, though after the first run the game becomes a LOT better for scanners with the perks for key finding, which keeps the challenge but also lets you know at least the general area or floor you should be going to without outright saying "here it is!" which makes the scanner "buffed" in getting you to a "warm" area as the game calls it
also a good strat is to use the scanner right before picking up another one, so even if you don't keep directions well you can refresh yourself later on by using the second one when youre closer
Shop
I know personally I simply put on the grease and break ankles when I do horror, so I won't speak from that perspective, a run gives about 390~ to 500~ a go by playing it normally
you could twist your balls and do 2 or 3 runs without the hot/cold perk (god rest your soul) and get the exorcism item, or up to 4 (with it) and then after that get a consistent 1.3k - 1.5k a clear which means instead of 5 keys you'd only need to find 1 medallion and bring it to the exit box to start the "fight" where you off and on stun her until she flops forward
so this is essentially the same thing as the Items thing i was saying
"None" will show up when youre so far theres nothing, "warm" is relatively close, and "Hot" is when youre right on top of it, which may not SEEM useful but when it says "Hot - Above/Below" its a good time to remember where you are on the map
so think of "Cold" as a medium distance, because gosh, seeing "None" on the opposite side of the map made me feel bad, not to mention, as I said with "Hot" it generally lets you know when you need to go upstairs or downstairs by saying "Cold - Above/Below" or something of the likeness which when paired with key shine is /lovely/ because even when its "Cold" you still get an idea of where to go
Generally think of balance, I'd say its done well, If you (generally speaking) wanted to hop on beat your meat and get off then this doesnt seem like its for that crowd, but if you want to play a game that happens to have sex scenes after you've gotten proficient then yes, ghost waifu game the best

I'm back and i made some screenshots eh eh eh eh 
- feel free to add them to the preview images if you want and if you need more let me know, i'm also thinking of making a video about it (on YT), we'l see
Maybe she should be capable of setting up traps a la Saiko No Sutoka/Granny cuz right now as it is the game is too easy imo but maybe i'm just too good lmao, there's no need to cheat btw.
Good job, if i do make a video about it i will post your patreon under it.

Switching cameras doesn't seem to work for me in the first sex scene where she rides you. It works for the other two scenes for some reason though.

In case anyone's wondering, since this game closes itself when it sees Cheat Engine, you can use the online save editor.
Your shit should be in %AppData%\Local\HallsOfPaleWidow\Saved\SaveGames
I'm not sitting through another run of this while the doors to important places spawn inside walls.

Personally, I'd love to see the PC have some customization options too in the future. Maybe mod support or smth.

is there anyway to turn that shitty FILM GRAIN OFF?
I see that enough with my visual disabilities and having it forced in a game just makes things 100x harder to see.
