maybe next update will be end of this year and they spring on us with a WOPPING dose of content
Ok this is for all android players (Including myself) :
Unless you got a top of the line phone, this game will crash. It will also be really laggy. So play at your own risk. But it's playable. Best thing to do is frequently save.
Another thing I figured out. Play it in one day. Because it doesn't work next day...
Can anybody help and recommend some character build/s?
I BEG FOR IT TO UPDATE ISTG I BINGED THIS IN LIKE 4 HOURS AND I NEED MORE. /nf
Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the game and literally can't wait to see more of it like I've never been so interested in a game since playing FNAF when it just came out! Lots of love! 😎
Also just wondering on if it's going to keep updating since I checked and the last update was in 2023. 😅
This game will still update, don't worry. I'm guessing the next update will be around December judging by the last few updates as well.
this game legit made me no longer find moths gross 11/10 highly recommend
Maybe someone in the comments can help me. I just got this game and was wondering if I could and how to change the MC besides just the aesthetic and hair? Or if your character is female (if you choose it) and your just flat chested as a female?
And how to stop it from skipping everything when it loads a new part
The button in the bottom right that's the double arrow is what activates skip. You can click anywhere on the screen to disable skipping
Additionally, the customization of the main character is largely limited for this game.
Was not expecting this game to be so consistently amazing. Downloaded it mainly out of boredom and curiosity, but ended up with one of the best games I have played in a while. (11/10 I need more)
excuse my bad english but can i ask, how often does the game get updates? just so i know when to check, the game is amazing and i love it. i know its very difficult to developed amazing games like this whilst being such a small studio and i hope everything goes right for you, just so i know when to check, the game is amazing and i love it, waiting for oz, my beloved
Updates tend to be pretty sparce but we try to have a decent amount of content with each update
heyy, i just wanted to ask, is this game dead or still updating? cuz i love it, the gameplay is neat and the characters are really cool (gus my favourite <3)
The game is still in development, yes!
is it weird that I imagine little scenes where Madhouse is being very affectionate towards the player character just to make them flustered or just because he can [Madhouse my beloved] madhouse is the only person I do romantical options for. everyone else is PURLEY platonic
I also imagine the player character real quick doin a huddle with atlas saying, "You didn't tell me he was HOT!" and madhouse hears this but pretends not to, and then comes the start of calling them petnames to tease them
you are so real for this (i'm madhouse's partner real not clickbait)
Love the art, designs and goofiness! <3 Wish I could play but it keeps crashing on me. Playing the latest mac build. I crashed once during character creation and once during the first battle so far. :(
I dont think you understand how badly i want Madhouse Mike... I NEED HIM (and Oz i love him too )
ugh, YES. same
frfr, realest of reals
please i beg of you, make Oz romanceable, i'll do anything, i'll do anything it takes just please let me cuddle with him on a cold autumn night on a bench under a lamppost shining a bright but not too bright yellow, he's so kind but quiet i love him hes like a 1 to 1 copy of my irl bf
I'd cry tears of joy!
For those who also love, adore and have finished this game, may I ask
1) Who is your favorite design wise?
2) Who is your favorite Dialogue/voice wise? And
3) Who would you want to date the most if they were real?
Here's my honest opinion to my own questions:
1) Madlas and Lex (Can't decide)
2) [Player name]. Robyn is the most humanized human in a game with humans I've seen in a while.
3) Atlas.
And to top off my inability to not know when to stop sharing unnecessary info about myself, a ranking of most characters (I may have an unpopular opinion):
mad house is funny alex brightman
1) atlas
2) atlas and Madhouse mike
3) atlas
1) Goatma'am! Love her whole aesthetic, and really wish I could dress like her :D
2) Jamie-- a demon who knows the horrors of customer service?? I feel that. so hard. (also they sound so awesome saying "repent in hell!" when attacking omg)
3) Atlas. The only answer.
1. Atlas/Madlas
2. All the mothmen tbh, Atlas is adorable and his dad is nice.
3. Atlas.
1) Madhouse Mike
2) Gus-- What, you wanna try? But watch out, i bite (idk why i love this one)
3) Gus definitely
1) Lex because he gave me genuine life advice
2) Atlas because he's genuinely just a goober
3) Oz, my beloved. please marry me
1) madlas def
2) idk rlly, maybe goat ma'am
3) Madhouse
In ch 1, android version, really enjoying this game so far! Small nit about the battle UI on mobile - since you can't hover over options like you would with a mouse, you have to press and hold on the different abilities to see what they do. I had no idea that was how that worked for the first fight and was so confused as to what anything did.
The combat and karma system is cool. I do like that the moves still do stuff even if you fail a role it makes it more strategic and the karma system further alleviates rng. I'm excited to see where the story goes though and the art looks yummy.
I love this game so much, but later on, after all the madhouse stuff, the new sprites just stop loading. August doesn't load at all, though mini madhouse does for some reason, and when I load a save from that point, no new sprites are loaded. Like, if I just opened the game and load a save from that point, no sprites show up correctly.
There was no error message I could see, but I could have just missed it.
did you enter the game via loading a save from a previous version? Saves from previous versions do not work
I downloaded it the day I posted that.
i'm trying to figure out what's going on with your game but I can't seem to replicate the glitch. What device are you playing on?
I'm on my hp laptop 14 with Windows 11
If you want I can try to send like a save or something to you.
i like how the hard difficulty still got me mostly A ranks also i got an X rank when its the madhouse and jamie fight does it mean i was really good or no?
x rank means it was perfect amount of move
:D
ERM ACTUALLY (Just a correction from fan to who I assume to be a fan too. Sorry) X rank means a low amount of moves. It's usually a hard to get amount of moves, but it's not perfect as you'd have to get lucky on the dice or coin, and that's not hard. That's just luck.
sry thx for correcting my grammar
I like how in the madhouse vs Jamie fight he gets CHOKED
On god, can we pls get a file for the Ring-A-Ding-Ding ringtone? I kinda need it 😂😂😂
LOVED playing the game! I hope there are more customizable options for your character in the future, maybe a masculine voice option too!
there is a masculine voice option though
INCREDIBLE!!! cannot WAIT to see what lies ahead!
I LOVE THIS GAME SO MUCH FJVLH;GHFS the art, the music, characters, the story, game mechanics, the humour - EVERYTHING (also, Oz, pls, one chance,,.. im begging......)
Also is there any way I could support this without a direct donation? I'd still like to support this but I can't donate
Is development still being worked on? I noticed the last log was about 4 months ago
If you look at their devlog post dates you'll see there's been much longer gaps in devlog posts than 4 months
WOW, that's a bit of a cliffhanger to stop on. Absolutely marvelous work, very professionally done! Haven't flirted with anyone yet since I wanna see who all I can hook up with first, but DAMN this is good so far! It's oozing with style at every corner. Looking forward to more!
Hmmmm...I wonder if the Beast of Bray Road will make an appearance....
I LOVE THIS, THIS IS MY NEXT OBSESSION!
(I kinda wanna kiss Atlas....)
Real
Its already one of my favorite VNs
who doesnt
You sir... You get me.
hey Tyler here i just beat what was already done and well im in love with it i can't wait to see the full public thing and btw the seen with Mike where we as the player hold him in his little ghost form was absolutely adorable i had freaking cuteness overlord when i saw it it. was so freaking CUTE!!!!
Honestly, take ur time, but I. NEED. MORE.

Okay so.
The game is really cool! The characters are great, the music is awesome, the fight system is pretty cool,
I love it! Even tho it's still WIP, im waiting for the next update, and i WILL FREAKIN PLAY THIS WITH EVERY SINGLE POSSIBILITIES ONCE ITS OUT.

i seriously love this game sm ghehehe
I (personally) can't get past the question about what cryptid I'd be. It keeps crashing when I select and option.
Atlas, cutie, you are literally my number 1 choice of it all, everyone else can wait... I believe in mothman supremacy and wishing I can romance you one day
I fr love madhouse mike
Oz, Atticus (Who in the chapter choose) and Atlas are the best boys at this game!!!! I wish I could embrace them all😭😭😭😭😭😭❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Actually relatable bro
