brro my PCC
I hope this may reach someone who knows a fix for this;
I bought the game on Steam, but after the audio-setup sequence, the game's only been turning up black past the unity logo; Even if I reboot the game or reinstall it the issue persists. Anyone got an idea as to how I can play the game, overcoming this technical error?
Hi, I'm sorry to hear your having issues. Could you please email me your computer specs/OS? I'd be happy to try to help you. My email is on my Itch page.
Hi again, sorry for the late reply I've just been busy.
I managed to actually find a work-around, in the form of streaming the game from a different machine (laptop) to my PC, and this has worked quite well, but understandably it's not an ideal fix. I know.
I think the issue is mostly on my part for being allergic to properly maintain memory-space and not over-crowd with programs, but I can send you the specs when I got the time, and maybe you could see where the issue could lie, since I'm honestly a bit of a buffoon with computers. To help out people who may be in similar seats to mine.
Cheers.
The pipes will always win.
this pipe has ̷R̷E̷D̷A̷C̷T̷E̷D̷ in it
(spoiler) hey would you be able to get the closing song onto spotify or something it's stuck in my skull
THE PIPES HAVE TEETH
There is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY that this is your first game dude!? This was amazing! The art style, unique design, and the hand drawn animations are S TIER. Keep up the great and amazing work man, I’m hoping my video goes viral so you can get the attention you deserve. Excited for your new releases.
The pipes will always win.
Finally managed to beat a couple of the classified locations and I gotta say, this game still has not stopped being tense and scary, I love it. Even though my reaction times are still terrible, this game is extremely fun to play. 10/10 would recommend to friends.
So I've been watching this game like crazy on YouTube. I love the lore, love the music (you know which song I mean), I love the lore, the feel of it, the claustrophobia. PLEASE make more. :D I want this to explode like SCP. I wanna hear more about Rodney and the pipes. ... The pipes will always win. :3
Anyone know how to combat The Phantom besides not letting your heat go to zero? Been messing around with it and it just seems to be a timer, I'm not sure as to what to do with it, it's a separate entity of its own so there has to be some way of combating it.
can someone give it for fre
no
i would love to play this game but im broke lol i saw 3FS play it tho and it is very cool the art and jumpscares are amaing great work (btw my z button does not work and i have to copy and paste it lol)
I'm really glad to see this game at the top of itch io horrors! It's interesting and truly deserves it! I'm still amazed by the flexibility of the settings - you can make the game absolutely comfortable for each player!
Hello, I played this game, and I really enjoyed it! Good work :)
Thanks for playing!
i genuinely cant wait for this game to pick up traction. i absolutely love this game to death; i already have theories on the implied lore and everything. there was clearly a lot of love and time poured into this game and getting this was the entire reason i made an itch acc. thank you so much
Hey thanks for the kind words! Seeing people like you enjoy this game so much makes all the effort worthwhile :) And thanks for playing!
So I think I maybe made progress? I unlocked the first classified map at least, though I'll definitely need a hint to figure out what I need to do there. And I think I did whatever was required of me on the second classified map as well but I'm not 100% sure on that one. This game continues to be great though, you do get somewhat desensitized to the jumpscares after a while but it definitely doesn't stop being stressful and tense XD
hey I got question, can you please put this game on steam? because whenever I try to buy a game from itch.io, it blocks my credit card and I really want to play this game
i also really would like it on steam because my computer gets all protective and cant open any downloaded games from itch.io
how do I get the author's attention dawg, I need this game to be on steam
You're in luck! Steam just approved the game as of today. If you scroll up there's a button to visit the store page.
LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hey progress is progress!
You can do it, I believe in you :)
And thanks for playing!
Well this was quite the experience and I have brought you all the ending!
This game had in all, good scares, awesome mechanics, quick thinking needed, also a good sense of coordination!
Loved every second of it Justin!
Hoping to see more from you in the future! :)
Wow, thanks for the glowing review! And thanks for playing :)
Excellent game! And incredibly challenging, at least for me lol. Really unique premise and gameplay, and some good scares in those pipes.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to finish it, but after editing (and reading some of the comments here) it got me in the mood to give it another go when I am feeling brave. Very curious how it ends!
Really enjoyed my time with it :)
I am now noticing there is adjustable difficulty, not sure if that was an option in my version (V1.0), was it added later? If so, all the more reason to give it another go lol
Difficulty options were added in V1.1 and there
were some further adjustments in V1.2 to smooth out the difficulty curve.
Pipe 3 accidentally ended up as one of the hardest pipes in V1.0 because of how tight the timings were. So congrats on beating it!
And thanks for playing!
No way! I suddenly feel confidence in my ability to beat this game returning lol.
Really good to see it has been updated with new difficulties! Along with other adjustments, but even with Pipe 3 being a bit.. unforgiving, the game played wonderfully with no issues outside of challenge. It is very evident you put a lot of work into this game and it shows.
Thank you for creating! Looking forward to giving it another go :D
what a good game man i was scared
this a representation of me
i made an account just to comment this but this game is AMAZING, it was clearly made with so much passion and love and the little farewell Rodland gives us at the end actually made me bust a gut laughing, i can not recommend this game more to anyone looking to buy it
Great game, currently in the process of playing through it. I really like these sorts of unique games. The game has a very cool art direction and is very scary. Keep making games (and updates).
Love the game, but also I'm curious, what do I do with the valves in the last ( non-classified ) level? I don't understand, and I don't think theres an explanation anywhere. Do I just have to turn all of them, or do they have to be in a specific placement?
I won't spoil the whole thing, but they're part of a larger puzzle. There's an item in "collection" (Granted you've found it) that gives a hint of where to start.
All in all, great job! Very fun game, and I pray I'll be able to beat it 😅
Glad to hear you enjoyed it! Thanks for playing!
Managed to get through the entire game! Amazing work! I really enjoyed playing this unique title, and the puzzles were a great brainteaser! I look forward to seeing more from you!
Wow congratulations! I think you have the first recorded video of beating the game. I'm very glad to hear you enjoyed it, and thanks for playing!
AYO! never played a crawling game before! great job brother! had alot of fun :) shit made me crap myself ( figuratively speaking lol) a few times!
Thanks for playing, glad I managed to spook you :)
Part 2 is here, and its scarier, harder than ever!
I really enjoyed it none the less!
While I was editing this video, I just noticed that I could actually use the map... all this time I was relying on my memory, so the part 3 will be this much easier!
Thank you again for making such as awesome game!
Well thank you for playing it :) The game's quite a bit harder without the map, I can't believe you got that far on memory alone!
Came back to try and beat the last levels only to discover secret ones, so I guess I'll be coming back to this yet again in a couple days hahaha. I'm loving this honestly, it's so intriguing and unique. Really hoping I didn't miss anything on the level with the valves, this game is triggering the completionist in me, I just need to get everything. It reminds me ever so slightly of FNAF in the sense that you need to react very quickly to the threats or you're dead, I really like that, it makes it very stressful and nerve wracking. Keep up the good work!
The pipes you unlocked were actually for meeting other conditions separate from the valve puzzle. The valves open a section of the map that I don't think you saw based on the video. Although as it stands there's nothing that tells you it was missed, so I'll look to add something to the next update.
And thanks for playing!
Ah dang it, guess I'll do the valves again XD not a problem at all though, this game is very fun
Pretty fun game man, finally gave it a shot, haven't finished it yet but I'm pretty far in. Thanks for the keys you dropped a week or so ago.
Took me a good 10 minutes to get how the GPS/map was supposed to work so maybe a bit of clarification on it would be good on tutorial.
Thanks for playing! Other people have said the same thing about the map, so I'll definitely look into adding a more comprehensive map tutorial in a future update.
I'm glad the game was a pleasant surprise for you. Thanks for playing!
Interesting game with simple mechanics, quickly grabs your attention and keeps you on edge. Absolutely, 100% replayable, which is incredibly satisfying! I've seen several crawling games, but this one is definitely my favorite!
Thanks for playing! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it.
Thank you for making the game AND telling me about it!
I enjoyed it very much so, that I will make a continuation!
Wihtout exaggeration I can say, that this is the best crawling game I played!
The entities in it are very well done with unique machenics to make the game challenging.
Part 2 coming soon...
Well thank you for playing it! If you do make a continuation, I would suggest updating to version 1.1, as it includes subtitles and some fixes to later levels.
Absolutely brilliant. I didn't know what to expect from a title like that but this easily is one of the most polished and solid horror games I've played on itch.io. The mechanics are fun and challenging, audio design is great and the visuals, while relatively simple, suit the experience very well. Just a fantastic game overall, great job devs! Oh and the voice acting is pretty great too!
I might actually stream this next time, I have a feeling I'll need a few attempts to beat this fully haha
I'm happy to hear you enjoyed it! If you do attempt to beat it fully, I would highly recommend updating your game to version 1.1. The update includes some fixes to later levels that were causing a lot of frustration and wasted time.
Gotcha I'll remember to update it!
