I'm having a lot of problems I can't handle.
I'll list them here as they continue:
*Where is the save button? In an emergency I have to restart the day from scratch which isn't suitable due to the reasons below.
*Losing background so I can't tell where my character is, they're just in the void of between 2 colours.
*Unresponsive screen.
*Black screen.
* Settings unresponsive, and when I try to get out of the settings it begins altering the settings, changing parts of it to Chinese!
I don't think I got a reply to this, but if there have been updates in any of the bugs above, I'd love to know, as I enjoyed the game and wanted to continue.
But due to certain disabilities, I am already limited in what games I can play and find bugs stressful as I'm not tech-savvy enough to understand what is happening most of the time!
I'd love to know if it's more accessible to navigate now.
Played, finished, and recommended the game. The concept of the headspace being run like a business is really interesting. I also ran into all the bugs mentioned in previous comments.
Bugs I didn't see already mentioned:
Other things I'd like to note, for anyone checking the comments:
These little bumps made the game feel less smooth, but my opinion at the end remains: Great game, great plot, great music.
heyo, i got this game from the bundle and it really stood out to me, the concept is very intriguing and i love the look and feel of the game. big problem though: the game's incredibly buggy, to the point of being just about unplayable. i tried to make note of all the bugs i encountered but i'm probably missing a couple details to be sure
that's all i can remember for now but there were plenty more minor ones. it's a real shame, this game is plenty fun and i'm intrigued by the story, but the experience is just ruined by all these bugs. hope they can be fixed soon, best of luck to the dev
(spoiler alert?) The game was really glitchy for me the whole time but then when it got to the point with the dream where Jack explains things, when I tried to exit the dream theater, the screen just went black and wouldn't transition out of the room. I rebooted the game a few times and I had to watch that sequence over and over again but it just won't work, so I can't finish it.
Hullo - sorry to hear you've had an issue here. I do remember a bug similar to this, actually, but believed it to be fixed.
So when you try to exit the room, the screen fades to black, but the scene doesn't change back to the corridor? Can you still bring up menu? I remember fast-travel being a work-around fix to the old problem here....
I was stuck on the very first room because apparently with an ultrawide monitor and your graphics options maxed out the leave button is off the screen! lol
Had to drop the graphics down to have the ability to leave the room. Incredibly confusing for a first time player as I didn't even know what I was supposed to be doing to leave the room in the first place.
I can only turn on subtitles in English and Chinese in the DRM-free version. Also I noticed that the audio of the FMV is by far not loud enough (especially in the beginning) and a key rebinding function would be great. Also I never understood why somebody would want to use keyboard and mouse at the same time ... especially in a point and click. I really like the idea behind the game though.
Edit: It seems as if the DRM-free version is outdated since the Steam version does in fact list all those other languages. @SUPERSTRING: Could you please update the DRM-free version as well?
Hello! You're right in that the additional languages are only available in the Steam version right now. If you can reach out to us here, we can help you out on that front...
The separate volume sliders should solve your volume issue -- you can drop the music vol as you need.
Key-rebinding isn't an option though sadly. Wasn't within my scope to achieve this; apologies. One for next time!
That was a fast reply :)
There are tools with which I can implement key-rebinding myself .. so that's not a big issue .. just a bit unfortunate since the game seems to be quite nice. The missing languages is a different thing though ... is it difficult to bring the Steam build to itch.io DRM-free? DRM-free has become quite a thing today so that would be nice. I guess right now using the Steam version would be the only way to get these files?
How do I "reach out" here? I am quite new to itch.io (usually I am a GOG user).
It 's a creative game with exquisite images and good music:D.
I think it would be better if there are subtiles when listening to the real people (Althouogh it's little influence on game ,I 'am not very good at listening to English😂. Maybe I should practice more.).I also hope that I could review the dialogue and plot.
I got the game during the free period and I must say, I am very happy I found it. This game has an amazing story, and seems to balance gameplay and story perfectly. However, I would suggest that the arrow keys and the other shift key also be made controls as it is very hard to operate solely on the left side of the keyboard.

Shameless plug; that's the one for my community server ;)
Ah, must've expired. Will update page. Also here: https://discord.gg/JW6MUUk
The OST is sold seperately on their website if you JUST want that. There's issues with licensing and distribution that tie their hands and prevent them from offering it here separately even if you purchased the game.
That said, the 'Dazed Edition' includes the OST within the game download itself. If you really want to, just grab the game and then copy the OST to another directory for your playlist :)
They're Reddit trash that flood into game pages looking for freebies. They don't actually play anything they grab and just hoard it. They care not for the devs behind the games or actually helping them out.
I'm gonna give this a quick go and help the devs out how I can. Gotta offset the trash with a great deal of positivity :)
Just because people from Reddit are here, you don't need to call them trash. Atleast the game is more popular now since downloads increased.
Edit: For the record, I'm one of the so-called 'Reddit-trash' and if you could direct your eyes away from your bulging ego, you could see that I have left a pretty big review.
This is hardly the place to defend such a grotesque mockery of a website on the internet.
Reddit is filled with trash and they (unfortunately) outnumber the handful of decent people on the site.
Reddit 'free game' subreddits often promote ASF (afk automatic farming of Steam cards on multiple accounts without acually playing games) and thereby directly promote a culture of hoarding games without actually playing them (or exploiting the systems for profit above all else).
It is the very worst of 'min-max' gamer culture combined with the very worst people on the internet.
I stand by my statement when I proclaim that Reddit is trash. Having a tiny handful of diamonds inside a steaming mountain of filth doesn't make the filth any less filthy.
The dev needs promo but they don't need Reddit trash spewing on their game page. Just play the game or bugger off because there are no trading cards or achievements or other crap to exploit here.
Then of course Reddit was one of the most prominent places to find promotions for G2A/Kinguin/etc key-reseller sites that engage in rampant wholesale criminal activity and theft that DIRECTLY impacts indie devs by putting the devs on the hook for massive chargeback fees!
It wasn't until some prominent YouTubers got the word out (most notably TotalBiscuit) that awareness finally got people to stop seeing those types of key-reseller sites as anything but illegitimate trash.
