Install instructions
If you wish to record the game: Make sure the game is in windowed mode. Under the options menu, set to 'windowed' apply changes, quit and reopen the game. Tabbing out in fullscreen mode (to check your recording, discord etc.), causes the game to freeze. You can close it down with the Windows task manager. Sorry, hopefully we'll find a better solution soon. :-)

amazing work still need to fix some of the bugs but I really loved the vibe and the little puzzle, I really want to see this as a full game!
Good to hear, glad you liked it! :D
You'll get a full game at some point, it'll just take time. We post devlogs every month, so you can follow progress there.
It's also our own engine, so bug fixing takes time and we don't always find everything. Feel free to report anything you encountered, if you have time :)
oh yeah sure so the other character didn't come when I opened the closet
and when I close the game the music doesn't get off until I close her folder
also it did crush once and also didn't save once (I know cuz I tried to start over cuz the first bug)
Folder? The game's folder?
Also which version did you download? 0.1.5. or 0.1.6?
yes the games folder
last one I think? so 0.1.6 or 0.1.7
Probably 0.1.6, we just updated to 0.1.7, yay
Thanks for the comment. We haven't been able to replicate the bug just yet, but it's noted :)
I really like the story so far and the vibe Helina gives! Can't wait for future parts!
Awesome to hear! Thanks for following. That's a very wise choice ;)
We got plenty of stuff to tell and characters to explore.
Thank you for the nice showcase! I tried using the automatic translation on YT, which didn't give me much. It was still fun to hear the dialogue in Turkish! Amazing even! :D
Glad to hear you're looking forward to future parts. It's going to be great! ;)
Nice. Loved the art style and the story.
Thanks for playing! :D Glad you enjoyed it :)
A unique art style and the story was really good. I hope you make a full game.
Watch video here:
Thanks for playing! Glad you liked it.
"Amazing", huh... Very cool :-)
We are already working on Act 2. Follow the page if you want to know when it's out.
Also, that's a nice thumbnail.
The game had a really unique art style and I really like the story at it is. I kinda wish there was an option for the story to auto play the text.

Wow! Thanks for playing and the feedback!
Your thoughts were quite interesting ;-)
The last puzzle piece requires a bit more to get to. If you ever want to finish the demo (you're very close), here's a hint:
- Mr. Plunger is a work-aholic. Mr. Plunger doesn't like a day off. -🚽
You might have to ruin someone's day a bit to progress.
Thanks again. We've already started working on Act 2. It's going to be very cool!
Hello, I played this game and I really liked it, the game did crash a few times and also if you'd make the text box a bit smaller then it'd be better cause atm it kinda cover a lot of the screen, over all I enjoyed it, good work :)
Thanks for playing and recording! :-)
Judging by the gameplay video (and the sound playing in the video), it seems like you managed to open and run multiple games at the same time.
Could you tell us how?Update: Actually, I think I've managed to replicate what happened. Did you tab-out during gameplay? The game freezes when you do that in fullscreen mode. And apparently you can run multiple exe's of the game at the same time. That's why the audio was weird in the video.
Sorry about that, I've provided instructions on how to record the game properly on the gamepage. If you ever wish to re-record the game, feel free to do so. Thanks again!
Yeah it was really difficult to record this game properly, I had to reopen the game for like 10 times at least, also I realized that there were multiple window of the game was open in the background after I finished recording.
I see... My deduction was correct! B-)
But yeah, sorry for the trouble and thanks again for playing! It's really apreciated
