Hello! forgive me. I'm playing your game and i'm loving it, but i'm stuck... i don't know what i have to do ;(  After leaving granny's house i think i've done all i could do. in school i don't understand what i have to do in the room of the theater, there are monsters that don't die and I can't do anything else. If I go outside and try to go elsewhere, I get captured by the spiders. (looking at the other comments to see if they too had encountered the same problem, I read one where you talked about the billboard with snow near the grandmother's house, but entering it I can't find any shred of brain) 

I get a little hyped up every time you put something on instagram, and I finally made it through the 2022 update. I rarely get chills from a game and I loved it!

But - what's the black goo you get from the stranger on the bridge for?

Not avaiable in my country, I would prefer to buy it on my steam account :/

I'm stumped, I found a blue key in the bar bathroom mirror, but I haven't managed to find what it goes to.

Also, I saw the gif you posted bellow of the blue box location, but I can't find it for the life of me. Is it in a newer version?

Nevermind, I found it.

Been loving this game, but an issues I ran into has pretty much halted my progress. At the mall, in the hall full of Moss' i cannot figure out what actually sets them off, cause it doesn't seem to be sound despite the game saying so!!!

it should be sound, could this be a bug? If you dodge or attack it triggers them to chase you once you are in sight range. They will not chase you until they can see you but the chase event can be triggered before they see you.

I'm playing the Steam Version but I'm 100 Percent Sure its a bug then cause I can dodge and attack them in their radius and they won't activat, but the second one in the long hallway always goes off when I attempt to pass, even when im just walking and have already taken out the ghosts???

try just walking through without taking out the ghosts

i ran through and just tanked their hits, that got me through 

I am completely stumped. I’ve found 2 out of the four brain pieces, one in the game cartridge and the other in the women’s restroom. I have no clue where to begin to find the rest. 

there is a large mural painting of snowy landscape that you can enter located just past grandmother's house that has a brain piece. The other brain piece is located in a movie theater you can access in the back of the chitin masks shop.

How on EARTH do you get inside the women's restroom? I can't figure it out...

I've been at a total standstill for an hour... I have a glass of sugar water and a glove, and no clue what to do with them. And I still haven't found the third door in the nexus, either...

same here - love the game but the only downside is that it is not well known enough to have a play through. Definitely deserves more attention. 

how did you get the glove?

The glove can be found inside an abandoned car beneath the mall

when i interact with the car it just says that it’s locked, is this it?

(1 edit)

yeah! There is a car key in the school gym

you can drink the glass of sugar water which will cause something to happen to your reflection 

Hello!  Great game so far, but I'm feeling a bit stuck... I've gotten 3/4 of the brain pieces, and am having a hard time finding the fourth.  Currently I have a blue-ish key that I was hoping would be for either the door the player has "never seen before" or the trapdoor both at the beginning.  I noticed in the other comments that someone else had two game cartridges, but I've only gotten one, so maybe it has something to do with that also?   

The blue key is for a box in the basement of this house located here


ah now I feel dumb I didn't even know that part of the map existed.  I ran into what I'm assuming is a bug when I finished the game though, where I could clip through the door in the basement that the main character doesn't remember being there... after a few minutes it went to the end screen but it made the ending a little lackluster.  Otherwise I had plenty fun and was thoroughly spooked.  Good game!

Great game!

Howdy! I'm loving my stay in Chitin, but just wanted to know what to do with my pain medication. Do I eat it? I can't seem to get it down.

There's an NPC you find in the school who has a headache. There is a limited amount of time you can give it to him, although doing this is optional and does not stop you from opening the final exit door.

I'm glad you like it ! :)

is there a secret to getting through the 3 paths in the unlabeled game cart?

Thank you for the bug report! I know whats causing this and I'm currently uploading the fix now, it should be live in about 20 minutes.

Edit: Live now!

Just checked it out and it works now. As an aside, I'm completely stumped what to do next lol

Edit: I found a new one. It's when checking the clown popping the mural of you in the high school. Did it a few times and it only sometimes does it though.

Thank you for the bug report! What seems to be happening is the object isn't reading an input script I have running, I've noticed this with a few other objects too and I've gone through and fixed them all. Im currently uploading the fix now and it should be live in about 30 minutes. Where are you stuck? I can give you some answers if you like.


edit: update now live!

I have 4 of the "cerebellum pieces", painkillers, and two game cartridges. I think the last thing I did was beat the movie theater boss. I've been running around in circles and not sure what I'm supposed to do now. Even a hint would be good.

There is a cave on the beach that will lead to what Arthur refers to as "The exit". The 4 brain pieces are used on the door

Tested with the public itch.io demo (I'm broke rn)

I don't like the current controls that much, because there is no way to be reminded of what does what, e.g., there's no "Controls" section while paused (though, ok, it's not like the game has a billion commands or anything), and I'm pretty sure the game never explicitly told me that [Scroll Wheel] alternates between items.
The Dodge command seems a bit off mapped to [Shift] — I guess [Space] would still be easier, if that's an option. Didn't have much use for it (besides it looking very fitting that David would do a dodge roll in a nightmarey situation), due to the tight spaces and slow-ish enemies, but I guess it may become an issue while dealing with more, faster enemies.
Also, a few interactions need a bit of proofreading.
--
That said, everything else already rocks SO hard. The gameplay itself is nice; the sound and the graphics (including cutscenes) are creepy as hell; the story itself and the bits of info are awesome and there's just the right amount of both; also, damn, I loved the items and their uses so much.

Really love playing in reverse. Anyway, I know it's a puzzle game but maybe a bit of description might've helped. I'll try to keep an open mind on the 1st and maybe less ranting :D


Gave it a Let's Play, though, got stuck and not sure if what I was ranting about at the end was accurate or, was infact softlocked as a bug? Orrr I just missed and was lost on where to go

Well this is absolutely horrific in the best possible way! You've made it mega creepy, everything just feels so well crafted but so wrong at the same time and the level of detail, hot damn!!!

i try not to spoil things but if people are getting stuck: theres a ghost inside a painting somewhere that will give you a sugar substitute. Also if you haven't found it yet the billboard points to a door that doesn't exist
