Holy cow this game is so cool!!! I love all of the hints in the intro, the books and internal dialogue, this is awesome!! I've only gotten 3 of the endings, the intro, the pandemic, and on the run, so I'm gonna check the walkthrough for the others. I wonder if not playing the video games makes a difference.
Re playing it again xD ahhh Fio is sooo cute ╰(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)╯I absolutely love the mystery and how it was made. The plot itself is amazing for genre like this and the art design d( ｡>ㅅ<｡) it was good! I also like all of the endings and the illustration, last endings and comic from the extension is so good too ♡(> ਊ <)♡ it's worth it ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
(thanks to RoDoe for telling me this was chapter 4)
the game is so interesting and i love it so much, i couldn't stop playing, the first ending i got was really cool i love how after talking to sofia we get to the scene where fio (i think that's his name i kinda forgot how to spell it lol) but i love how crow just walks out in a gas mask after fio asked him to go to that store i just love it ik i'm rambling a lot anmd it seems kinda impossible to understand what i'm writing rn but to cut it short (ik this isn't short) i just really love it game play is nice and there's so many twists and turns
The game was absolutely amazing, loved the characters and all the unique endings, I definitely wouldn't have guessed the number of times you play games to have an impact, though.
My favorite endings have to be when you take Sofia's place and when we see Crow as a musician. The one where Crow takes the bullet for Fio completely caught me off guard since it was the last ending I saw and Fio was shot every time he came down before.
I've only played the browser version, so I don't know if there's any difference in controls, but I've found that you can substitute Z and X for the Return/Enter and Esc keys, respectively. Also, you can use either of the Shift keys as your dash button.
i love this game so much. the art style is very cool. It took me a little while to get past some things, and what not, but thats just bc im not the brightest :P all up i think this is a great game! cant wait to see more games from you! :3
Hey Hatoge :)! I'm almost at the end of game and I do not know what to do with the "something wrapped up in cloth". Could you please guide me to it? :(
Oh and to the very end [underground/basement], how do I unlock the doors where there are missions running? + I can't move around in train :'(
I really tried my best and I can't get different endings... :'(
Hello :) You might find looking at the walkthrough helpful. Also the door with the machines cannot be unlocked in the free version. (It cant be unlocked by the player in the extended edition either, but there is a scenario in the bonus room that shows the contents of that room)
I wrote a 2 and a half page review of this game that no one can see here bc itch.io is monstrously designed. in essence; its good and you should play it.
I may post my review as a reply but i dont want to destroy the comment section :-// so you’re gonna have to trust me this is worth playing.
Obviously, like all things made by humans, its flawed (i did outline my issues in my review). However, very few games actually keep me until the end, especially ones i play in my browser (which I did for this one). Minor bugs and even more minor syntax issues are really all worth reporting as an overview. Theres a lot more to love in this game then some comments are suggesting. you should just play it, dude. do it. lol
I read your entire review now, and you are totally free to post it as a reply if you want! I thought it was fantastically written and might help some people who had trouble understanding the themes of the game. And about the syntax errors; No, this game wasn't translated from one language to another. I am natively German, which is a language that uses different sentence structures, so I always try to make games in English first and foremost. However, since English is not a language I learned naturally while growing up, I still have a long way to go as a writer. Thank you for all the praise and criticism though, it was very insightful! Hope you have a nice day, and if you do decide to play the extended edition, I would love to hear your thoughts on it. :) (Oh, and lastly, the escape ending isn't the true ending. The extended edition touches more on this. There is a true ending, though. It's the only ending that ends with a question mark)
Hi there!! I was incredibly flattered reading your response! Thank you so much for replying!! Like I said this game rattled in my brain for a bit even after I finished it, so when I say as soon as my year end essay is finished Im gonna snap up the extended version, trust that I mean it haha. Below is a slightly edited version of my review! I really hope that other people who played this game (or deciding if they should play this game) find it useful!
If I could title this review it would be “Exceptional Storytelling, beautiful art, who gave you permission to hurt me”. Unfortunately itch.io isnt so kind as to include that as an option.
I went into this game prepared to be a bitter hater. I’m not a fan of rpg maker for a couple of reasons, and the very sweet style fooled me for quite a bit. I have a ton to say about this game so get ready for a long one.
As a general overview of my opinion, I think this game is magic; Lightning in a bottle type of stuff that’s completely up my alley. The characters are incredibly charming and the pacing in how different aspects of their personalities is shown is very well done. There’s plenty of fun foreshadowing for eggheads like me to obsess over while they surreptitiously search from room to room. The pixel art and illustrations are well made and the simplistic communication style lends to a detachment that makes sense the farther you go into the game. It’s mentioned in the description that some people have issues progressing. I can see why this is the case as much of the gameplay is returning to the same exact few rooms with the same interaction points multiple times over the course of your playthrough. As a person who plays tons of puzzle and exploration based games I’m very much used to the repetition myself, but I can understand why people may find it unengaging. I thought the puzzles themselves were relatively simple and easy to follow, though I’m not sure i would have enjoyed a challenge for this game. Some of the issues people are having is i think perhaps linked to the bird eye view aspect of the design which makes it slightly more difficult to have the spatial awareness required for a couple of the puzzles. Besides a few minor syntax errors, the writing is straightforward and clean without being unproductively off putting. By the time you get to the last few moments of your playthrough, you may just hear your heart beating in your ears. (I certainly did)
Now if i really want to talk about what makes this game special, I have to get into deep, potentially game ‘ruining’ spoilers. So if you haven’t played the whole game (or havent done what I tend to do, which is play it once and watch the rest of the endings on youtube), here is where I’d recommend you do so. I doubt you’ll regret it.
This game is heavy.. heavy heavy.. It implies and talks about aspects of the characters with brevity, but the simple art style and deftly composed music build upon easy-to-follow writing that does pull a few punches, but for a reason. I was ready in particular to dislike Crow. He seemed to fill archetypes I was bored of in other games superficially similar to this one. In any other situation, I wouldn’t care much about characters resembling Crow and Fio, but I CERTAINLY cared for Crow and Fio by the time I finished the game. The fact that not only Fio (who we already knew wasn’t all he seemed) but Crow himself is an iteration was in hindsight so incredibly obvious but cleverly disguised under tropes and regular old video game rules (which is… if that was on purpose which i think it was….wow). There’s that zero escape-esque feel that while you know all the pieces are somewhere around you, it’s hidden frustratingly out of view. Some may find that irritating but I find it engaging.
I do have some minor gripes with design and some choices made. The first few times you go through the evening, the pacing is not as strong, unfortunately. It feels less like you’re excited to look for what’s new, and more just going through the motions knowing eventually someone’s going to die. But it should be encouraging to note that, by the end of the final night, it was leading to something relatively satisfying. There were a few times that I assumed the game was foreshadowing something that never actually paid off (from what I can tell). If I could change one thing about the game i’d frontload a few more implications about the heavy stuff. While I enjoy Crow and Fio’s banter, not a ton of what they discussed in the ‘happy’ part of the game felt very deep (which possibly was intentional).
The controls are typical rpg maker faire, but the larger sprites lend a slowness to Crow’s movement that can be difficult to get used to. However, the somewhat stilted pace to his movements lends to a sense of foreboding that (at least I think) works well. There are limitations to working in this medium and that’s to be expected.
Also, I’m not going to lie, as a gay woman, the game’s themes of immorality for the sake of conformity, defiance, and existing for others’ benefit without knowing hits incredibly close to home. This game wouldn’t have been objectively worse without a same-sex couple, but the fact that the main couple is one is a layer not just to their relationships with other characters but is built upon by their identities as ‘iterations’, (i guess replicant would be goofy haha) who feel othered and demonized by those around them. It just wouldn’t hit AS hard with a clearly defined male/female relationship. In particular, the escapism and co-dependant hope present in the plane ending is something quite a number of individuals I know who identify with lgbt labels can relate to thinking about many times. Every once in a while it feels like it is us against the world, and the fact that this detail was included was inspired.
I do have a few other issues with some character related things. For example, i really wish we could have had some seen interactions between Fio and his family. I understand why this wasn’t included, but seeing the same name on all the papers rings a little hollow when I have very little context for how their relationship affects Fio. As for Fio, my poor poor boy. I felt sad for this kid the entire game. His optimism is not only admirable but another indicator of him as a ‘failed’ iteration. He’s happy with himself in ways others aren’t happy FOR him to be that way (if that makes sense).
At the center of this is Sofia(?). I need more of Sofia?..end of story. Her speech in many of the endings is a tiny dip into what I thought could have been a super intense and emotional payoff. I haven’t bought the expanded version yet (I probably will though!!) but the peon in me really wants to hear all about her life..though im sure that might destroy some of the mystique.
This game touches on themes like eugenics, child abuse, familial/generational trauma, neglect, and societal/parental expectations. It feels like a lot, and it is, but the game does a pretty good job of making their addition feel natural and not gratuitous. Also, while I certainly expect (but not necessarily relish) some blood and guts in my horror video games, nothing is more irritating when they bring the…ahem.. giant pile of bodies.. out too early; which this game does well (though a certain reveal can come off as less horrifying and more silly the more times you go through it).
Im sure that if i’d had more time, I may play some of the other endings myself. The visual novel aspect makes it easy to consume for those with little patience and skill for puzzles (either by simple controls or playthroughs available around the web).
The people behind this game clearly worked incredibly hard to deliver this soul-gouging (depending on who you are) story, and I’ll absolutely be keeping my eye on the pages of those involved.
Anyway.. no one reads reviews but I wanted to collect my thoughts on this game. If someone finds them useful that’s great! If not, no harm done i hope. Thanks again to the creators and everyone involved in making this ‘suspicious present’! I opened with hesitation and left with much more than I expected. At least this present didn’t need to be dunked in water before opening!
This game really surprised me with its twists, endings and characters, especially Fio. I absolutely ADORE him. I am definitely going to get the extended version of this game in the near future, and I am excited to see what Hatoge releases next.
Love the game! Can you please tell me, what endings exactly are expanded in the paid version, pretty please?^^ and, I wonder, SPOILER ALERT: / / / what was in the drawer? I didn't get it, why did this little thing decide so much in the end? first, I thought it was some bandages for injured Crow in the "escape" ending, so I thought without it he would simply die, like a sad bad end. but it turned out the ending changed into apocalypse!
The extended edition expands on 3 endings; The Hospital ending, The apocalypse ending and the escape ending. (So two of the endings you got already; if you haven't gotten the hospital ending yet, you would have to replay the last day to get it - more on how is in the walkthrough-) The drawer is more symbolic of Crow's final choice between defiance and cooperation. If you ask what the literal object in the drawer is, it's the only object Crow brings out during the final confrontation. I hope this cleared things up a little :)
its upstairs (the room you didnt feel like looking too much at first), and then just walk to the right, you will most likely enter;; i hope you understand :)
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbGD_LT9QRFpC7WMqVtXBGeHgAva32aiI Unfortunately I could not find all of the music that I used on youtube, (or in some cases I could only find a variation of it) and I don't have the rights to upload them myself. If a song you were looking for isn't in this playlist, feel free to ask me about it though :)
If you can play through the game on the mac or linux builds without much issue, I am fine with recordings or streams, however if people run into problems I can't solve them :( Originally there weren't even supposed to be linux and mac builds because of that, but then people with macs started playing the windows version instead which obviously bugged out for them, so I decided to upload the other builds after all.
This is a 17+ horror game, and there is a very prominent content warning screen before you start the game. If you don't like horror games, then perhaps you should look for other games to play. @_wholesomegames on twitter might have some good recommendations for you :)
i have a question, does the prologue count into what endings u get?? like say if i played the game in the prologue but not the rest, would i not get endings 2-5?
You should be able to save from the main menu (which you open by pressing escape on your keyboard) if everything is working as intended. If it's not working, could you please tell me where you're playing? (browser or download for windows/mac/linux)
Hi! I love this game so far (I didn't finish it) but I have an issue. I was playing the browser version, and later when I came back I couldn't get my save to load. I select "keep going" on the main menu and I can see the autosaves and a normal save, but if I click enter or click with my mouse nothing happens. I'm on google chrome if that helps. Can someone help me? Thanks! (Also sorry if my english is bad.)
Aaaa, I forgot to test the autosave plugin in the browser so I didn't realize that it wasn't working for web applications :(( I disabled it and now it should work again, however you will have to replay the parts you've already played, I'm so sorry ;a; Thank you for making me aware of this though!
No plans as of right now, but if I have an idea for a second part that I like enough, I'll consider it. If I start working on something, I'll post about it on twitter @HatogeGames :)
This was so creepy and so good! Glad I sprung for extended edition to make it easier to see all the ends. Took me a few endings to figure out how the choices I made led to the different endings but now that I worked it out I think it makes sense and is a subtle but meaningful way of determining these things. Loved it! Definitely jumped a few times.

I liked it so much
bro this game is- idk what to say its too good!
Holy cow this game is so cool!!! I love all of the hints in the intro, the books and internal dialogue, this is awesome!! I've only gotten 3 of the endings, the intro, the pandemic, and on the run, so I'm gonna check the walkthrough for the others. I wonder if not playing the video games makes a difference.
thank you! And yes it does :) The intro doesn't count towards the ending count though!
Ah ok! Just got the other endings and my god they're cool!
Re playing it again xD ahhh Fio is sooo cute ╰(⸝⸝⸝´꒳`⸝⸝⸝)╯I absolutely love the mystery and how it was made. The plot itself is amazing for genre like this and the art design d( ｡>ㅅ<｡) it was good! I also like all of the endings and the illustration, last endings and comic from the extension is so good too ♡(> ਊ <)♡ it's worth it ( ꈍᴗꈍ)
spoilers for ending 4 i think??
(thanks to RoDoe for telling me this was chapter 4)
the game is so interesting and i love it so much, i couldn't stop playing, the first ending i got was really cool i love how after talking to sofia we get to the scene where fio (i think that's his name i kinda forgot how to spell it lol) but i love how crow just walks out in a gas mask after fio asked him to go to that store i just love it ik i'm rambling a lot anmd it seems kinda impossible to understand what i'm writing rn but to cut it short (ik this isn't short) i just really love it game play is nice and there's so many twists and turns
That’s ending four :)
oh really? i didn't know lol but thanks for telling me! :D
You’re welcome ^^
Spoilers for ending four-
I didn’t expect ‘The global pandemic’ to be that intense 😀
Also great game but halfway through day 2 I had to use the walkthrough because I’m bad at puzzles even if I enjoy them 👍
thank you, but please stop posting pictures to the endings in the comment section ^^" I deleted it for a reason.
Oh, okay I didn’t realize you did. Apologies! I thought it was just a glitch. I won’t do it again 😅
Made an account just to share my thoughts:
Spoilers, obviously
The game was absolutely amazing, loved the characters and all the unique endings, I definitely wouldn't have guessed the number of times you play games to have an impact, though.
My favorite endings have to be when you take Sofia's place and when we see Crow as a musician. The one where Crow takes the bullet for Fio completely caught me off guard since it was the last ending I saw and Fio was shot every time he came down before.
Amazing game! Really appreciated the extended edition content, especially the ease of getting all the endings. Loved the character designs too.
You just have to press esc then use your custor/mouse or arrow keys to the save then press enter/space.
You could save it one of the slots below the auto save :> just use arrow keys/mouse then enter/space
I've only played the browser version, so I don't know if there's any difference in controls, but I've found that you can substitute Z and X for the Return/Enter and Esc keys, respectively. Also, you can use either of the Shift keys as your dash button.
i love this game so much. the art style is very cool. It took me a little while to get past some things, and what not, but thats just bc im not the brightest :P all up i think this is a great game! cant wait to see more games from you! :3
Hey Hatoge :)! I'm almost at the end of game and I do not know what to do with the "something wrapped up in cloth". Could you please guide me to it? :(
Oh and to the very end [underground/basement], how do I unlock the doors where there are missions running? + I can't move around in train :'(
I really tried my best and I can't get different endings... :'(
Hello :) You might find looking at the walkthrough helpful. Also the door with the machines cannot be unlocked in the free version. (It cant be unlocked by the player in the extended edition either, but there is a scenario in the bonus room that shows the contents of that room)
Oh okay thanks a lot :)!
PLEASE! Can someone tell me if you can save your progress? I have lost my progress 3 times already ;-;
You should be able to save through the menu, which can be accessed by pressing escape on your keyboard. Is this not working?
Oh, wait I get it now! Thank you SO much! :D
i do need help, i do what you said but whenever I try to click the save aria or press enter is make a incorrect noise
on which platform are you playing? (Windows/Mac/Linux/Browser)
im playing on windows 10
is this true for all save slots or only the first few? (Some of the saveslots are reserved for auto-save so you cant save on them)
Lovin' it so far, I may make some fan art in the future too :)
I love the style of this game
no but i actually loved this game its very creative i liked its idea i love it
im at the part where fio goes into the kitchen at the start and am incredibly confused. where do i go and what do i do?
edit:it was thetable
Oh my GOD this one messed me up so much.
uhm..
how to unlock fio's phone?
i know its something to do with the calendar but i dont get it TT
this is maybe might help idk, their relationship lasted a month right? so think of how long a month is, their anniversary is apr 2
i hope it helped hopefully TvT
THANK YOU T^T

i can't get past it either and it's so confusing, i tried the d-m-y thing and i just could not get it to work
i think i remeber the code its 0230 ,0240 or 0231
oh thanks! i figured it out already by thanks i appreciate it! <3

It was a fun game really dragged me to the moment of deja vu ^ -^
This game really surprised me with its twists, endings and characters, especially Fio. I absolutely ADORE him. I am definitely going to get the extended version of this game in the near future, and I am excited to see what Hatoge releases next.
Aw, thank you so much!
After you get in the parents room how do you keep from getting k*lled
I am pretty sure you hide in the closet/wardrobe. :)
Love the game! Can you please tell me, what endings exactly are expanded in the paid version, pretty please?^^ and, I wonder, SPOILER ALERT:

what was in the drawer? I didn't get it, why did this little thing decide so much in the end? first, I thought it was some bandages for injured Crow in the "escape" ending, so I thought without it he would simply die, like a sad bad end. but it turned out the ending changed into apocalypse!

hello, i just finished it and omg
is there a playlist with the ost from this game? istg the music is so good-
https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbGD_LT9QRFpC7WMqVtXBGeHgAva32aiI Unfortunately I could not find all of the music that I used on youtube, (or in some cases I could only find a variation of it) and I don't have the rights to upload them myself. If a song you were looking for isn't in this playlist, feel free to ask me about it though :)
TYSM
" DO NOT stream or record the extended edition, the browser version or the mac and Linux builds."
I would like to know why on the Linux and mac builds the extended build is self explanatory. Is it because they might have bugs?
If you can play through the game on the mac or linux builds without much issue, I am fine with recordings or streams, however if people run into problems I can't solve them :( Originally there weren't even supposed to be linux and mac builds because of that, but then people with macs started playing the windows version instead which obviously bugged out for them, so I decided to upload the other builds after all.
ah, thanks for the reply. I asked because I use Linux. amazing game! thanks for making the Linux build.
I didn't like this game. Why did it have to be a killing spree? Why couldn't it just be a nice, fun game?
This is a 17+ horror game, and there is a very prominent content warning screen before you start the game. If you don't like horror games, then perhaps you should look for other games to play. @_wholesomegames on twitter might have some good recommendations for you :)
how can i change the language
The game hasn't been translated to any other languages than English yet. Which language would you have liked to switch to?
i played english but i would like to play turkish
how do i get the other endings
There is a walkthrough you can download from the main page :)
i have a question, does the prologue count into what endings u get?? like say if i played the game in the prologue but not the rest, would i not get endings 2-5?
Yes, the prologue counts into what endings you get :)
HOW DO YOU SAVE
You should be able to save from the main menu (which you open by pressing escape on your keyboard) if everything is working as intended. If it's not working, could you please tell me where you're playing? (browser or download for windows/mac/linux)
browser on laptop
ilove this so much
Love the game! i said to myself "if fio dies im gonna cry" and im legit crying rn.. good game though i love it!
omg i didnt finish it was all a dream brooooooo
Hi! I love this game so far (I didn't finish it) but I have an issue. I was playing the browser version, and later when I came back I couldn't get my save to load. I select "keep going" on the main menu and I can see the autosaves and a normal save, but if I click enter or click with my mouse nothing happens. I'm on google chrome if that helps. Can someone help me? Thanks! (Also sorry if my english is bad.)
Aaaa, I forgot to test the autosave plugin in the browser so I didn't realize that it wasn't working for web applications :(( I disabled it and now it should work again, however you will have to replay the parts you've already played, I'm so sorry ;a; Thank you for making me aware of this though!
It's ok. Thanks for responding!
will there be a Sofia? 2
No plans as of right now, but if I have an idea for a second part that I like enough, I'll consider it. If I start working on something, I'll post about it on twitter @HatogeGames :)
thank you so much
This was so creepy and so good! Glad I sprung for extended edition to make it easier to see all the ends. Took me a few endings to figure out how the choices I made led to the different endings but now that I worked it out I think it makes sense and is a subtle but meaningful way of determining these things. Loved it! Definitely jumped a few times.
this game is great
is fio a girl or a boy
Fio is nonbinary, but he leans more towards a male identity. :)
That's cute
