I'm so sad. I cant even beat the first pursuit because I do not have 3 hands nor am I skilled enough to walk around with the mouse. I can only use the arrows to move and running requires the shift key but then I also have to click on the closet to get in and I really struggle with this. I really enjoyed the graphics and how the game was starting but was unable to move forward because of these technical issues. It isnt even because of the game itself and its just my computer, atleast I hope. Playing this game would require for me to get help from another person but I do not have anyone to help so all I cn do is hope for a new PC.
And although this game seem to not have been meant for me, i still want to praise the people working on this game. The thrill of the chase was really cool and I honestly pity the fact I am unable to go further. ALSO LITTLE THING TO SAY: this comment just wants to let the makers of the game my experience and also praise. Everyones equipment works differently and I highly recommend to play this game because the plot line seems interesting. I really mean no offense to anyone. Also I hope you didnt mind all the mistakes made while writting this comment.
PS. I absolutely love how John got hs idea from BL, that fact made me laugh hard.
You can also press enter to interact with objects, hope this helps! I have been told that the hiding windows are a bit too short, so I will keep this in mind for future games :) Thank you for the feedback.
Thank you so much! This helped me a ton and I ended up finishing the game! I absolutely loved it and the thrill it gave me! Can't wait to play other games made by you!
You need to press shift to run and then then enter the closet before John comes into the room! It can be a bit tricky in the master bedroom, so maybe try the closet in the basement (room on the bottom). I find that one a tad bit easier to get to :)
This was an awesome little game! <3 I wondered why the name, but it really makes sense, with the premise being based on BL fiction but not going the way of the BL tropes. Refreshing. It got my heart racing a couple of times, so that was very enjoyable :D
So I just got out of the chair and started walking around a bit trying to go on with the story, but I don't know what to do I have tried to find every room and go in it (and I think I have) and I still can't find a way to make the story continue. If someone could drop a wisdom bomb on me that would be much appreciated. :o]
You need to interact with the closet in the master bedroom. If you get stuck again, please consult the walkthrough that can be downloaded from this page :)
the absolute fear when i was reading the comments and John comes into the rooms, i commonly listen to music while playing games, AND AUDIO CUES ARE WHAT GET ME, so you bet i was scared and immediately refreshed the tab
im kinda confused, i interact with the closet near the begining to hide but it doesnt do anything, i looked at the walkthrough and that wasnt much help;;
Are you pressing shift to run? If you enter a room and then don't interact with the closet before John comes into the room as well (Which is after a few seconds, or when the click noise happens) then you can't hide in the closet any longer.
This was so fun, I wish I found this game earlier. The story had me rolling, especially how misguided John was. It was also still scary, but I found myself laughing at him with his dialogue throughout the game. (kinda spoiler warningjust in case) Also Eugene is such a bro. I did get to the extras after the end, but honestly I'd want Eugene to be my friend for life. Going out of his way to help his bestie escape the clutches of an expensive manchild. absolute legend.
I tried to play it on my phone (to see exactly how far I could go) In that first chase scene (don't know if there's more) Rylan kept running back to John. Like, no matter what I tried, he ran directly for him. That was funny to me
AAAAAA THIS WAS SO FUN I REALLY ENJOYED THIS GAME AND I DESPISE THAT MF JOHN WITH MY ENTIRE BEING!!
I swore so many times whenever I bumped into John and had to run away, but dang this was so fun! I just wish we could've interacted with Eugene more and also I wanted to punch John in the face, but alas he got what he deserved <3
Also because there was no music in the game, I listened to one of my playlists and for some reason I had the great idea (sarcasm, I regret this) to listen to some creepy music and that just made the atmosphere so much worse, in a good way alsjdlsjdk I got jumpscared by the music I was listening to- it was an interesting experience lmao especially during the chase scenes
ANYWAYS, OVERALL THIS WAS VERY FUN! 100% would lock that mf away again
Oh I was playing on browser! I could hear all the sound effects just fine but there was no music, not sure if it's just a me-problem with my laptop but.. welp, looks like I'll definitely have to play this again sometime with the actual in-game music haha!
Unfortunately browser really doesn't like rpgmaker games and sometimes doesn't load some files in :( If you download the game it should hopefully be there though! I'm glad you still enjoyed the game nonetheless :)
Ah,youre welcome! its sad that you cant play it but you can watch others gameplay of it in twitter or youtube! also sorry for the late reply, I just realized you sended this lol
There is a walkthrough you can download. Alternatively there are a few let's plays on youtube, some of which have been posted in the comment section on this page. I'm sure either will prove useful :)
You can move around with arrow keys and interact with objects by pressing enter, which is the way the game is intended to be played. The engine I use automatically makes mouse play possible, but it is in no way optimized, and I'm considering turning it off for future games. I ran out of time to put in a gameplay instruction screen because of the initial jam deadline, but I'll put it in the game description on itch.io for now. Thank you for the feedback! :)
Great game! I'm currently stuck running away from John for the 3rd time, no matter what I do it's game over, I can't hide before the click sound, it's impossible
There is a walkthrough you can download or playthroughs you can watch on youtube! A few creators have linked their playthrough in the comments and would surely appreciate the view :)
I loved this game, the art style is pretty and the concept that the rich guy was using BL as research was funny! This was very well made and I'm surprised it was made in 10 days considering how good it is
Hello! The game is not supposed to be a reference specifically towards anything! I'm not sure which media your question is about, as there are a lot of things named 'monster' but I'll gladly check it out if you enlighten me :)
This game was really fun to play :DD I played the German version and I really liked the translation^^
The dialog itself was nice to read and funny - it made me laugh quite often. Rylan is a very good protag! I liked his comebacks and how he didn't take any of John's BS. His conversations with Eugene were also so nice to read, because of how close these two are UvU As for John... He def got what he deserved, but I feel like there's some backstory to him, that we as the players didn't get to uncover, because Rylan (rightfully) wasn't interested in it.
As for the gameplay: I love games, where you can explore, so this game was perfect!! Though I'm glad that there was a walkthrough, because I had no idea what to do at the last chase-sequence :')
So all in all, this was a great game with nice charas and a surprisingly sweet ending :D I'm def looking forward to more of your games in the future!!
Thank you very much for this long review! The german version was really more of a rewriting than a direct translation because my brain works differently when it comes to english and german, if that makes sense? I think if I had more time I might have explored Johns backstory more through visual hints, but alas. Glad to hear you enjoyed the game! More on the way soon :3
Hi! I love the game so far. The only problem that I'm having is near the start, you go into the library and he chases you. I have tried to hide in the closet but I can't enter. What I did was I pressed space, which opened it, and walked forward. I have tried multiple ways to enter but it won't work. Am I, perhaps, doing something wrong?
Hello! You might not be reaching the closet fast enough then. Once you hear the sound of the door opening, it's too late and you can't hide in the closet anymore. Have you been pressing shift to run and headed straight to the closet?
I liked the game too much, if it doesn't bother you, record playing the game in Spanish because I uploaded it to youtube espeor and it doesn't bother you anyway I loved the end I couldn't stop screaming with happiness xd keep it up

Having a bit of a problem here, when I clean the Pendant, I don't get the birthday code for the box. Is there somewhere else I'm supposed to find it?
You can find it in the item menu (esc on the keyboard) :)
I'm so sad. I cant even beat the first pursuit because I do not have 3 hands nor am I skilled enough to walk around with the mouse. I can only use the arrows to move and running requires the shift key but then I also have to click on the closet to get in and I really struggle with this.

Really? I didn't know you could sprint, but I still got away from him.
your games make me feel so emotional lmao
(eeeee i wish there were also a better route for rylan and john though...the atmosphere really got me there >-<)
Can you help me I'm having a problem right now cause I'm playing misfiction in Cellphone not on PC and I can't find the in-game menu
you need a keyboard for this game
Can you just help me?I'm stuck after John chase me the second time, I don't know where to go!:(
the second time should be the closet again :o
So after the closet, where should I go? >_<
there is a walkthrough you can look at for any further questions :)
Sure, and thanks;)
Can you make a tutorial on game design basics? I'm interested in making games myself
Thank you for the suggestion! I'll put it on my list for video ideas :)
Im having trouble with the running away from john part @_@ the closet has only let me in once and then i didnt save my progress im so lost
You need to press shift to run and then then enter the closet before John comes into the room! It can be a bit tricky in the master bedroom, so maybe try the closet in the basement (room on the bottom). I find that one a tad bit easier to get to :)
ah thank you !! love ur game :)
great game :)
John's soo fricking scaryy!!:'(
This was an awesome little game! <3 I wondered why the name, but it really makes sense, with the premise being based on BL fiction but not going the way of the BL tropes. Refreshing. It got my heart racing a couple of times, so that was very enjoyable :D
Can't wait to play the spinoff!!
I think the name is Misfiction because when starting the game, John says fiction does affect reality, or something like that-- im not too sure though!
Close! It was actually about John being mis(guided by )fiction :)
Oooh! That's cool! Awesome game ♡
Eugene is best bro. Simple but very enjoyable game with an interesting premise.
He must read Killing Stalking xd (context: killing stalking is a BL of a boy kidnapp his fan boy and do "Some scaries things")
no cap
killing stalking isn't really a Bl tho it's a thriller
So I just got out of the chair and started walking around a bit trying to go on with the story, but I don't know what to do I have tried to find every room and go in it (and I think I have) and I still can't find a way to make the story continue. If someone could drop a wisdom bomb on me that would be much appreciated. :o]

the absolute fear when i was reading the comments and John comes into the rooms, i commonly listen to music while playing games, AND AUDIO CUES ARE WHAT GET ME, so you bet i was scared and immediately refreshed the tab
will try to finish the game tho
nice game :)
how do i look at my items??
Escape on your keyboard -> Items
im kinda confused, i interact with the closet near the begining to hide but it doesnt do anything, i looked at the walkthrough and that wasnt much help;;
Are you pressing shift to run? If you enter a room and then don't interact with the closet before John comes into the room as well (Which is after a few seconds, or when the click noise happens) then you can't hide in the closet any longer.
that worked, thank you!

That's the AU where it actually follows the shitty BL trope to the end haha
Lol

ANYWAYS, OVERALL THIS WAS VERY FUN! 100% would lock that mf away again
Haha, thank you! :D But weird that you didn't have music. The game definitely has music build in. Were you playing in browser or on desktop?
Oh I was playing on browser! I could hear all the sound effects just fine but there was no music, not sure if it's just a me-problem with my laptop but.. welp, looks like I'll definitely have to play this again sometime with the actual in-game music haha!
Unfortunately browser really doesn't like rpgmaker games and sometimes doesn't load some files in :( If you download the game it should hopefully be there though! I'm glad you still enjoyed the game nonetheless :)
I can't save
Can you see the save screen? Is it not letting you save in any of the save slots or just specific ones?
It's not letting me save in any slots
Are you playing in browser or downloaded?
browser
How the heck do you do the last chase, none of the closets work, someone please help
There is a walkthrough you can download from the game page ^-^
I dont like john
How do you save?
Escape on your keyboard
bro how do u get in the closet
i already click enter
Are you pressing shift to run? If you don't enter it fast enough, you still get caught
oh thanks
I LOVE this game! its extremely amazing and very interesting, all though i'm stuck on the part where the kidnapper chases you lol.
oh haha! I seemed to find a way to beat it, cant believe I missed such a big item!
How did you made it?
You basiaclly have to make it to closet in time, if its not working that means the kidnapper is too close.
THANKS it never worked but i guess it's because he was few steps behind me always XD
But can't play it anyways because of the control options );
Ah,youre welcome! its sad that you cant play it but you can watch others gameplay of it in twitter or youtube! also sorry for the late reply, I just realized you sended this lol
hi
Tell me you didn't play the game without telling me you didn't play the game lmaoo
what ones of your games are most similar to "Sofia?"
Can you post a tutorial or something sorry I don't really understand what to do that dude is just chasing me -_-"
There is a walkthrough you can download. Alternatively there are a few let's plays on youtube, some of which have been posted in the comment section on this page. I'm sure either will prove useful :)
Ty
You can move around with arrow keys and interact with objects by pressing enter, which is the way the game is intended to be played. The engine I use automatically makes mouse play possible, but it is in no way optimized, and I'm considering turning it off for future games. I ran out of time to put in a gameplay instruction screen because of the initial jam deadline, but I'll put it in the game description on itch.io for now. Thank you for the feedback! :)
i finally play this game!! it was sooo good!! i always got anxious when john trying to chase rylan XD
and the ending was really sweet!! i really love eugene sm :") love ur game sm
Great game! I'm currently stuck running away from John for the 3rd time, no matter what I do it's game over, I can't hide before the click sound, it's impossible
There is a walkthrough you can download or playthroughs you can watch on youtube! A few creators have linked their playthrough in the comments and would surely appreciate the view :)
where is the walkthrough?
I loved this game, the art style is pretty and the concept that the rich guy was using BL as research was funny! This was very well made and I'm surprised it was made in 10 days considering how good it is
Thank you!
the biggest evil...........the dog
Hi! I would like to ask your permission to translate Misfiction into portuguese... If yes, please contact me!
My discord is captainFelix#8123
is this a monster reference?

I haven't so that is probably the reason I haven't been able to hide. Thanks a lot!
I liked the game too much, if it doesn't bother you, record playing the game in Spanish because I uploaded it to youtube espeor and it doesn't bother you anyway I loved the end I couldn't stop screaming with happiness xd keep it up
It doesn't bother me! Thank you for sharing the game with more people :)
I know its been 6 months since you posted this but THANK YOU
I was stuck at the last chase and I just COULDN'T ESCAPE no matter what!
Your playthrough really helped (TToTT)
