Intriguing. The main problem I have is that there needs a way to be able to skip sections. A visual novel with multiple endings is okay because of save and skip functions. This has several game sections to pass and one is a VERY slow key collector. It doesn't even have a key counter.

I'm working on it. I'll add a scene selection layout where, after finish the game once at least, you can play from the segment you want .
a note in the police station freezed my game
there's a glitch, probably due to an update:
map fragment 9 is currently impossible to get:
- you can't access the mine path in backstage mode;
- in discover mode, you need all three characters to access the mine path;
- after accessing the mine path, only one character can die in the hole before the sequence that gives access to fragment 9;
- if penny is alive, you're forced to follow penny who fell off the bridge, missing the path with the fragment.
- if penny dies in the hole, steve prevents you from taking the path with the fragment.
you can't have steve die in the hole because you'll then be forced to follow the penny route, skipping the path to the fragment entirely
also it seems like there's some weird problem with the medals for "character X survived" registering. i cleared the game multiple times but only managed to get them to unlock them in specific instances. could be an issue on my side
btw thank you for changing the arcade game, the original one was painful with the one pixel perfect impossible switch taunting you
edit: i guess i need to figure out how to get steve caught in segment 3. so far every option i picked got him shot in the head where he stands.
edit 2: nvm i just needed not to stab him so he could actually catch up to me
Tanooki81 responds:
Actually the fragment 9 can be only get in Backstage Mode. To access the mines way in BM, Steve needs to be caught in the segment III. Then keep them alive until seg IV. Done! Now you can take the mine route. To get the fragment 9, Steve need to die in the hole so he won't stop Rafe to go down the stairs later (and, as you are in Backstage Mode, the game will never force you to follow Penny's POV). Try it again and if you still can't, please report it to me then I'll check it
Found a softlock-If you happen to jump into a specific spot in the tutorial at the same moment that you reach the prompt to push boxes, a piece of terrain will be generated in the same location as the character and you'll be stuck in place.
The timer doesn't give you enough time to read the choices and the arcade game is too hard.
Tanooki81 responds:
Right, I'll improve that. Thank you!
