A gay survival horror game of lust and terror. · By
I think this game is a fun concept and has potential but at the moment it is virtually unplayable - guns disappearing randomly (they just delete themselves?) , collision on every surface and objects, key items not spawning or letting you interact with them (same with doors), buggy enemies/corpses and the list goes on unfortunately - a lot of the time I had to access the "fly" feature just to bypass these problems. By far the biggest problem I had is even when I somehow managed to finish the school section and I'm back in the sewers doing the valve puzzle where you have to add up to 57, I press E on the door to "go to hospital" and it just spawns me back in the sewers in the same section. I couldn't figure out what was going on if I had somehow skipped a section and the game was freaking out but just decided to delete that save and start a new game to try reach that point again (after several attempts at trying to go to the hospital), within 10 mins I'm back in the cabin in the woods and all my weapons have been deleted. So I've pretty much gave up for the moment until these problems can be addressed. I understand the trials and tribulations of making a game so I hope the team can resolve these issues without feeling disheartened at the feedback
tysm for taking the time to write all this, we really appreciate it.
yeah... a lot of those bugs are on us 😭 we ended up fixing one thing and accidentally breaking a few others along the way.
the good news is we've already been working on a big update that fixes a lot of the issues you mentioned (missing items, progression, interactions, disappearing weapons, etc.). it's available now, so pls make sure you've downloaded the latest build from the itch.io download page.
if you still run into any of these bugs on the newest version, let us know where it happened and we'll get it fixed asap.
thx again for sticking with us, and also for understanding how messy game dev can be sometimes. comments like yours honestly help us improve the game a ton ❤️
I just tried the latest build and unfortunately its unplayable for me. I'm guessing because you are just dropped into the first level with no menu, settings or interface everything is defaulted at ultra settings which my current PC can't handle and the game was running far too poorly for me to continue to try to play (couldn't even get past the first zombie as it was just running so bad) Not sure if this is intentional or an unfortunate bug as I remember the May build having at least a start screen and some basic graphics options within the menu. Hoping to upgrade from my current PC soon but yeh unfortunately couldn't properly test this build as it is running too poorly in its current state and the options/menu seem to have disappeared entirely.
Just downloaded and played the new patch (Thank you, finally!!! controller upgrade is wonderful) i died to the fat zombie in the church and after dying you just stay there on the floor unable to do anything...? - I've had to alt+f4 to restart the game and now i'm spawning in again at the very very start... am i just supposed to spam save all the time then??
also - the "sprint" speed and walking speed are basically the exact same... (the stamina bar depletes WAY Too fast for such a mediocre movement)
thx for testing the new build!!
yep, that's definitely not intended 😭 we'll get the death/revive bug fixed asap.
for now we'd recommend saving pretty often while we're ironing out the remaining bugs (just to be safe 😅).
and yeah, we've seen a few ppl mention the sprint too. we'll tweak the sprint speed + stamina in the next update so it actually feels worth using.
really appreciate you keeping us posted, this kind of feedback helps a lot . <3
Started the new update. Title screen seems to be gone, it just drops you right in the middle of the game now. The options menu has no title screen button, controls button, inventory, or quit button; have to force close the game to quit. UI is completely gone, I have no idea how much ammo I have. Also, after getting the church key in the attic, I fell down the hole and fell through the church floors into an endless abyss (Although I was able to restart and didn't fall through the floor the 2nd time). Zombies seem to be falling through the map after dying as well. Can't interact with the gate behind the church to get to the 2nd area (I do have the key from the chest). Load Game button doesn't work, have to restart every time I close the game
tysm everyone 😭 we've been reading all the reports here. looks like this patch broke more stuff than we expected lol.
we've got all of these bugs on our list already (menu, save/load, church gate, falling thru the map, death softlock, UI, etc.) and we're working on a hotfix now.
sry for the rough build, and thx again for taking the time to report everything. it genuinely helps us squash these bugs way faster.
Thanks for letting us know! 🙏
Could you tell us exactly when the timeout happens? Is it right after entering the key, or when launching the game?
If you can send us a screenshot, that'll help us figure it out much faster. Thanks!
谢谢你的反馈!🙏
请问这个“请求超时”是在输入激活码后出现,还是启动游戏时出现的呢?
如果方便的话,也请发一张截图给我们,这样我们可以更快定位问题。谢谢!
thx for the report and for including your specs!
from what we can see, your PC meets (and actually exceeds) the minimum requirements, so this doesn't look like a hardware issue.
could u let us know if the crash happens immediately after entering the license key, or does the key get accepted first and then the game crashes while loading?
if possible, could u also send us a screenshot (or a short video) of what happens right before the crash? that'll help us track it down a lot faster.
we'll also pass this over to our coder and see what's causing it. thx again for the report!

Uploaded a video to vimeo, hope that helps. It basically crashes before I'm even able to enter the license key at all. I thought I had entered it already the first time (and it crashed immediately after iirc), but this is what happens now every time. Thank you for looking into it!
Thx for the video, that def helps.
Just one thing - could u check if your antivirus (Windows Defender or anything else) is blocking or quarantining the game? Sometimes Unity games get flagged and crash before they even reach the license screen.
Let us know what you find. We'll keep looking into it on our side too.
Got it, that does help narrow things down.
If Windows Security isn't showing anything, then it doesn't look like the game is being blocked by Defender after all.
We'll send the video over to our coder and take a closer look. From what we can see, the crash seems to happen before the license screen even loads, so there might be something else going on there.
Really appreciate u taking the time to test it and upload the clip. We'll keep investigating on our end and will update u as soon as we know more.
hey! sry you're running into this 😭
could u tell us which OS you're using and send us your CPU, GPU, and RAM specs?
we'd also recommend re-downloading the latest build from the page where u purchased the game, since we've uploaded several fixes recently.
we're still actively working on these technical issues and trying to improve stability. after we finish the remaining game content, we'll be focusing even more on polishing and optimization. can't promise anything just yet, but the final version is getting closer and closer.
thx so much for your patience and support! ❤️
thx for sending over your specs!
your PC should definitely be able to run the game, so this doesn't seem to be a hardware issue.
we've had a few similar reports since the last update, so we're already looking into it.
for now, pls make sure you've downloaded the newest build from the page where u bought the game.
really sry about the instability 😭 we're still working on optimization and polishing, and we'll keep improving things as we get closer to the final version.
thx again for your patience! ❤️
