I quite liked this! It was a breathe of stale, old school-styled air that I quite loved playing through :D
I hope you make more games, and I hope they become deeper. The story in this one left a little to be desired for me. Maybe I missed some secrets? Do we ever find out what I/they even did to their family? If we did, I missed it :( My favorite part was the old-school style game in the modern 3d environment and the two worlds crossed (like the door light!).

i signed up just so i can say how awesome this is!! i was suppose to watch a play through but half way through the beginning i stopped and searched the game and downloaded it. Going to play with my friends! i played a bit...and loving it!! hope to see more of this, kudos to you lovely people! :)
Fantastic game, great soundtrack just feels amazing to play. I was a massive fan of Isolation's design and i'm really excited to see what you guys get up to next.
Hey guys! Loved the game! I also made a blind youtube playthrough video like everyone else here :) I got super excited when I saw that we'd be seeing more from you, so can't wait!
Awesome game, guys! Loved the meta twist, tension buildup and soundtrack! Keep up the good work. I'm looking forward to seeing more titles like this from you.
I've also made a review of the game. You can find it here, hope it will help spread the word about it.
Absolutely phenomenal game! I loved how spooky it was, the soundtrack was ace, and the semi-solipsistic exploration was delightful. Looking forward to seeing what else NoCode comes out with! (Played on Mac.)
Wow, I thoroughly enjoyed this game! As a kid who loved text adventures, this caught my attention right away! You managed to give me warm fuzzy feels of nostalgia and cold spine-chilling feels at the same time. Just... how!?
I can't wait to see what else you guys come up with. I created a short Let's Play of it for my channel if that is alright. Keep up the great work guys, I want more! :D
This was a fantastic game! The first one I have played on itch.io and I'm glad I did! Thank you so much for making it and letting us play it for free, I can't wait to see more from you.
Had such an incredible time playing through this game. Thank you so much for sharing your creativity to deliver a unique horror game that managed to get under my skin even while staying static and reading through a computer. Made a complete playthrough video of it on my channel.
Thanks again! Can't wait to see what other games you have up your sleeves.
Awesome game with a great atmosphere! Found it quite tricky to figure out what commands to use at certain points, but other than that it was fantastic! Made a walkthrough for anyone that's stuck:
Thanks for making a walkthrough video - you're the first! It's also really useful for us to see the different way people input commands. A patch is coming out later today that solves a lot of those issues.
No problem! FYI the vid was edited to cut out most of the bad commands attempted. Don't want to post any specific spoilers but was stuck on the final room for over half an hour! Other than that I loved it though. It's an awesome concept and VERY creepy. :)
Yeah there were a few too many. It's maybe worth giving this new version a try, and explore more - there was lots and lots you missed and we've added a few more touches that are cool :)
it is indeed! We're working on an update as we speak that is a _lot_ more forgiving. The 72 hour limit had its impact but we're free now to make it better! Thanks for putting up with it! :)
I am so excited to play through this! Like the description said though, I am having trouble reading some bits. The words will cut off of some descriptions and its very difficult to continue. I've tried every possible resolution, where the lower res I go it will add a single letter to the end word and nothing more. I'm just hoping this is resolved soon, as I'm totally pumped to play through this!
We're building a new version as we speak, and hope to have it available in the next hour or so. On lower spec machines the sentences would be truncated, but we've fixed that so even when getting a low frame rate it'll still be playable :) Almost there, sorry for the wait!

Nailed it. The atmosphere was perfect and it was hitting all the right nostalgic notes. Very solid game and definitely worth playing.
I can't get over how immersive this game was! It was brilliant! Great job, guys!

Brings back memories of my childhood! <3

I really, really, really loved this game!
Now tell me, did the son murder the parents? I had this idea while being close to the end.

Amazing, made me feel as if i was there. The best parts were the 2nd half interactions :3 Keep up the good work
thanks! loved the playthrough :D can't get enough of these!
This game really intrigues me but it is 64 bit only?
32 bit will be up in the next 20 mins :) Sorry about that!
Great! Many thanks.
give that a try :) let me know if it works for you!
just tried it, it works.
Thanks!
Hey guys, glad to see the new update but I'm getting an error unzipping the PC version. Specifically with this file:
player_win_x64_s.pdb
Error 0x80004005: Unspecified Error
Windows 10
Apologies, we've had some reports of this happening but not all the time. New file being uploaded in a few mins
A new build is up now, let me know if you have any more problems :)
Really enjoyed this game! To say it was a text adventure it genuinely gave me goosebumps. Good job!
Just watching just now - so good! Thanks for playing and recording, it's so fun for us to watch :D
Thank you for making it! Hope I did the game justice.
It was great, I watched it again tonight with the mrs. :) Smiles all round
That's awesome to hear! Also nice to the see the game doing well!
