itch.io

from the starting point youll go straight down until you hit the bottom of the screen, then click the space key to interact with it, the map should appear behind you and you can pick it up with the space key (the space key is how you will interact with your surroundings), then go down and click space to continue the way you were going, you should be teleported to the next map!

lemme know if youre still having trouble!

OH MY GOSH THATS A RELIEF TO HEAR 

i was up late last night trying to scour my programming to see how it would trigger in the previous room XD 

im so glad to hear it was a misunderstanding and i hope the rest of the game has been running smooth for you! sorry for the confusion ;w;

???? you shouldnt be getting the "got you" thing until you enter the next room O: thats very odd.. you didnt open an old save or anything from a previous build right?

the order of the lights dont matter, you should just be able to turn off 3 of them, then the new door opens to the left, i havent heard anyone getting the death scene before entering the next room, in fact i dont even think that should be possible since the event doesnt exist in the room hmm...

im sorry youre getting this weird glitch, lemme see if i can try to replicate it!

no worries! i hope what im saying is understandable, let me know if i need to rephrase anything!

when you get into the sewer you want to go to the room on the left of the screen and youll see a panel on the top of the next room. interact with the switches until the boxes in the previous room all line up into a pathway! you may want to press a switch and then check the other room to see where the boxes moved to get the order they need to go in ^w^ !

did you check to see if audio is working in other games? i would recommend restarting your computer and making sure your audio isnt feeding somewhere else!

oh could you explain a little more?

the chainsaw bit has been updated to have a new puzzle so videos of that part might be a bit outdated! now when you enter the room you got the chainsaw, youll notice theres a few pillars with lights on them, interact with them and the room will change when you solve the puzzle and a new path will open on the bottom left side of the room! 

you dont keep the chainsaw when you enter the sewer though, you no longer need it down there O: theres a water box puzzle youll need to solve to progress in the sewer, lemme know if you need help with it!

there should be a little button that says "more options" and you should be able to click download anyway, you can also check your firewall and permissions. my partner had this issue downloading it on his new pc so i hope this helps!

you should be able to keep your save and transfer it to the new download! just go into your current files and find the file thats called "Save01" (or whichever number save you wanna keep), drag that file onto your desktop (or place you can keep track of it), then delete the other files, redownload the game and after you install it just drag that save file over into the folder and you should be able to load it up from there! 

im sorry for the trouble! im not sure why you cant save at save points ;-; i havent heard anyone else getting this issue, just to make sure though, this save file isnt from an older version of the game right? if it is from an older build of the game, it can mess it up because you USED to be able to save from menu, but thats since been removed and if you were to try to save from menu with an old build save it would probably mess up O:

and no worries! hope this fixes it!

i think its your firewall, check if you allow downloads from itchio if you can!

unfortunately that is a very very common game mechanic in rpg maker games ^^;;; pretty much every rpg maker horror game will be the same when it comes to running (i.e witches house, misao, IB, etc)

i appreciate you enjoy the game though, sorry this style of game is a bit difficult ;w;

i do have a walkthrough available if you get stuck! this is very much a "click on everything" kind of game ;w; so make sure you try to click around!

you should have gotten an auto save prompt there O: there is a chase, but if youre worried about getting through that part ill give you some tips!

make sure you took the pain medicine in your inventory (this will increase your walk speed to normal if you havent done so), be right to the left of the trail of blood leading up (this will place you in front of the door so you should be able to just press up and run out faster), head to the second floor (NOT the first) and then go across the board and to the lobby, go across the lobby and into the original part of the hospital, do NOT use the elevator and head to the stairs! that should get you past the chase!

you cant save from menu btw, but if you saved at the prompt youll reload from there

you can save through out the game on randalls diary (located in his closet to the left of his apartment), on mya's cat if youre playing as Mya, on various notepads in the hospital or on randall's diary through out the dream worlds! you also later save the game on his diary when playing as mya !

EDIT oh wait, do you mean it wont let you save from the save points? if thats the issue, id say you might have to reinstall the game ;o; it seems like a couple people have had some weird glitches when installing the game and im not sure why, but its rare and not always the same glitch (youre the first person to have a saving issue like this)

you get the other half from the cafeteria ^w^ (theres a chair outta place)

ah so! on day 2 ('3'? the day after you meet mya, but before you meet tate), you wanna say 'no' to the pills and then go to the front door and just click to leave the front door a couple times (i think its 3 or 4?) and itll just let you leave! just keep clicking it once you dont take the pills and things turn slightly purple tinted!

oH!!! I REMEMBER YOUR URL!!!! HI!!! i hope you like the new version!!! it has quite a lot more content than it used to so i hope you have a good time with it :D

no worries!! sorry for the confusion ^w^ i tried to write the walkthrough as spoiler free as i could but it ended up being a little confusing bc of that ;w;

hm sounds like your keybinds may have gotten messed up somehow O: are you using a gamepad? if so try your keyboard

if that doesnt work, i would recommend redownloading and reinstalling the game or restarting your computer! sometimes little glitches like this happen ;w; im terribly sorry for the trouble!

thats weird O: you should have get an ax from his closet during the fire, did you get to that point?

you wanna get the true ending! theres a walkthrough available in the downloads for it! youll wanna collect all the diary pages as well cause in the bonus room theres bonus chapters that unlock as you find pages! (theres also a walkthrough for the diary page locations!)

huh thats very strange O: other people have had no issues

i recommend refreshing your browser and just trying again! if you could possibly upload an image here to let me see what youre seeing i could try to figure it out, but it just sounds like a random error sjgfsdjf

this is a very common issue, when you downloaded it, you should have seen a little box under the download that mentioned what to do, but essentially your windows firewall blocks unknown app developers (it happens to even me if i download my own games on different computers)

you should be able to click "run anyway"! i assure you, i would never give someone a virus and you can check the other comments that its safe lol

this game was made in rpgmaker VX ace!

ofc!!! im so glad it worked ! ^w^ hope you have fun :D

you can save through out the game on randalls diary (located in his closet to the left of his apartment), on mya's cat if youre playing as Mya, on various notepads in the hospital or on randall's diary through out the dream worlds! you also later save the game on his diary when playing as mya !

the item isnt showing up when you press to leave the area?

id say try restarting your computer and retrying, or even deleting the game and redownloading! sometimes files can get corrupted and result in weird glitches like that when you install the game!

you wanna go straight down from the hospital, click space or enter to go to the next area, once the item appears behind, grab it and then continue down and it should continue like normal!

sorry for the issue!

theres a puzzle in the cafeteria ^w^ if you didnt get it, randall shoulda mentioned it after the moths chase, but you can go do that still, so dont worry

lol you just keep going down the path you clicked on to get the map item to show up

you click the street, get the map and then continue the road

huh thats really weird O: is the game launching in full screen or windowed? could you try restarting your computer and making sure theres no other programs running and try again? if its fullscreen when you launch it, try to open the game and click f1 (or fn+f1) and select to not launch in full screen and then close and reopen it

oh im so glad you were able to play it!!! im glad you enjoyed it and hope you like the other endings as well >w< !!!

oh thats so weird O: you could also try restarting your computer and making sure you have no other programs open while you play! my laptop is pretty laggy with most games so making sure nothing else is open helps me usually! im very sorry for the issues ;3; if you still want a refund i hope you can contact your bank about it, im sorry itchio doesnt really do refunds as far as im aware ;-; 

another fix could be either playing it windowed or playing it full screen! whichever youre not doing, try the opposite!

im unable to issue refunds because itchio doesnt do that as far as i know (ive had issues with games on here and when i messaged they told me they cant do it as well so i just dealt with the loss)

you can try to contact your bank and ask for a charge back but thats the only thing i can think of

sorry you were unable to play the game, though i have heard if you run the game as administrator it helps with the fps issue on weaker computers so maybe you could try that first? O:

oh thats strange O:

the walkthroughs should be right here- 

lemme know if youre still having trouble downloading them, they should be free to just download and itll just be a notepad text file!

this is the finished game

i have no idea how to do that ;3;

rpgmaker VX ace or rpgmaker MV !

there may be small bug fixes or tweak updates, but this is the finished game! any updates will also be free after purchase including the steam release next year

you can save on diaries or (if youre playing as mya) on her cat! theres also auto saves throughout the game

aahhh im so so glad you had a good time with it!!! ;w; 

and the phobia project demo was taken down for the time being due to it being VERY outdated, we're working on the updated version and it should be up in a couple months! >w<

i would prefer if you didnt if thats ok ;3; i want to keep it off the android store for now, i may figure out how to put it up there at a later time, but for now id prefer it not be uploaded by someone whos not me ;-;
