This style fuckin rocked our cocks off! Really fun and interesting concepts and gameplay, kept us on our toes the whole time! Please lord give us the option to play windowed mode, it kept crashing my discord :( [also backspace probably should not count as an enter mayhaps]. Very worth the 3 buckaroos /gen

Much love,

The RabbitHole :)

Thanks Rabbithole crew!! 

Glad you had fun with it, windowed mode will definitely be an option in the steam release, a lot of changes coming ;)

Cheers!

Honestly I sucked at the game, so probably deserved what I got.

It was fun. Dark, creative and amusing.

More please!

Thanks MightyC7!! I have some cool plans for the future of this game, I will be making a blog post very soon detailing some of them :)


Cheers!

Great game but windows thinks i downloaded a bomb

I failed the 30 second timer challenge and my family member in the middle died, after that, text displayed on my screen and then it disappeared, and the game got stuck with me not knowing what to do and nothing responding.

hmm that is strange, thanks for letting me know quenny I will see if i can replicate it on my end.

I'm usually not the greatest fan of brain trivia in my horror games, but this was VERY well executed.

Seriously fun and it really rewards you to take your time and think things through. Amazing little game !

I made a video on your game if you 're interested :)
(+2)

Could you tell me what the paintings used in the scrambled game are? :) I recognize the raft of medusa and the divina tragedia but the other ones were too blurry (yes I'm an art nerd lmao)

That is awesome!! you are the first person I've seen that have mentioned the paintings.
Not all of the images are paintings some of them are also historical pictures as well as some stock placeholders.
Two of my favorites in the game is the painting of Ivan the terrible and his son by Ilya Repin and also the painting that depicts the boston massacre by Alonzo Chappel.

aaaaaaa thanks!! I love the references you added to the game, you have good taste for sure <3

Thank you for playing!!

(+1)

An absolute BANGER!!!

Is the word "Ultimate" somehow broken in the code? There are no other combinations that could've worked.

Nope there is definitely a word you haven't hit yet, you aren't the only one to get stuck on that one though haha thanks for playing dude

(+1)

Not gonna lie, wish we got something different for winning.

Thanks for playing Giant!! I have a couple of plans for different endings based on certain actions as well as ratings :) keep an eye out for updates. 

Cheers!

Hey, you need voice actors, lemme know! I'm always available! (Yes, I can do death screams)

fun game. cool if you like words :)

Thanks for playing Mak!!

This definitely tripped me up a bit, but I still enjoyed every moment of it.

(+1)

Played it live it was fun!!! Looking forward for more games!

(+1)

Fun game! I like that it had multiple modes, and the stress was really getting to me between each round. Only thing I would suggest is showing some of the controls, like how you can zoom into the monitor, but the game never tells you. Good work all around!

(+1)

nice 50 percents off might pick it up thanks

(+2)

This was such a fun game to play! Loved the different word puzzles and the creepy atmosphere! I did run into a bug where the timer went off after saving a family member resulting in being soft locked in the game. Other than that this was such a cool game! I will be playing this again!

Hello!

Apologies for the bother (and the kinda long message). I really enjoyed the game, but I ended up having a glitch happen which really killed my motivation to get a better rank. I was on the timed Disorder minigame and the gun was targeted at the person in the middle (I think it's the sister?). I managed to complete it and consequently save the family member in danger (I already freed both their hands). However, the timer was still going, even as the game was acknowledging I succeeded by letting me save someone. Unfortunately, some issues resulted from this.

(Before I get to those, though, I do want to mention that this led to the rather amusing visual of the shotgun shooting the person in the shadows as they were setting up the TV on the box. There's a silver lining for everything!)

1. This still ended up counting as losing, meaning the person in the middle was considered dead.

2. Because of the animation of the slumped TV head when someone gets shot overlapping with the box stand-in, the middle TV was clipped into the box in a pretty awkward way that made it hard to see. Luckily, I just had to do one round of Hangman for an answer I already knew after this, because I saved one family member (the left one, I'm guessing it's the dad), and the other... well... 

3. The game ended up forcing me to pick another member of the family to kill immediately after this. It's conjecture, but I suspect the game just freaked out at the unusual circumstances and tried to smooth it out by treating it like a normal failure. It registered that the person the gun was aimed at was "saved" (even though they apparently weren't) but also that I "failed" (even though I didn't), so it tried to make up for it by having someone else die.

tl;dr Two of the family members died after a minigame I won.

Again, I truly did enjoy this game. It has an addictive quality to it that I could definitely see being expanded upon, and I absolutely don't regret my purchase. However, this combined with some other problems with the Disorder minigame (I've seen in other comments that you're already aware of this, but even in the newest version, there's quite a few words missing; I'm sorry I can't give many specific examples, but I remember there was one time where the singular version of a word was included but not the plural, even though both were correct) sucked out a lot of my enjoyment and introduced elements of unfairness and luck I did not appreciate.

Thank you very much for reading. I hope my comment here ended up being helpful in some way! :D

EDIT: Also, I totally understand you getting rid of the head bobbing, but truth be told, I actually quite liked it! If I may make a suggestion, I'd like to see that mechanic make a return in some kind of "hard mode" later down the line.

Hi Gaming blur!! that was some really solid feedback ! I really appreciate that thanks mate! 

I am currently tracking down the timer bug, it is such a tricky one as i cant seem to replicate it on my end but i've seen videos of it happening and I can assure you it is a main priority with the game , I will track and down and squash it.

I do have a few ideas I am playing with when it comes to headbobbing, one of these ideas is to have a heart rate monitor in the game and the player will have some control over certain things that happen in he game to prevent their heart rate rising to high and the head bobbing as well as some visual fx will be tied to the heart rate as well. ( I will be detailing a bit about the future of the game next week)

Thank you so much for taking a chance with DISORDER! and I really appreciate any feedback I can get mate!

Cheers!

Hi Stonie,

This was my first itch.io game I've bought after I saw MrKravin play it. I was really wanting to play a word game and this had such a great plot to it :)

I also experienced this bug. I had just succeeded at the 6-word unscramble challenge with the shotgun pointed at the person in the middle (the 'mother'? People might be mistaking her for the 'sister'?). I completed it with plenty of time and the timer just kept going and ended up shooting the replacement TV after she was taken away. Then the the gun was taken but the timer sound effect just kept going for the rest of the game. This then counted as her death at the end.

Later, I solved this with plenty of time that I chose another to be saved (can't remember if it was unscrewing or crate result) and the shotgun event didn't stop until the next game started and the shotgun disappeared. It may be that this event when targeting the middle person only ends at the next game rather than when the player wins the shutgun game?

I think there was also one of these 6-word unscramble challenges where I put in about 3 different eligible words in a row and the game treated them as wrong. I can't remember the whole set right now but I remember that the last combo I tried was "Site", which it had all of these letters. Maybe it was just my eyesight reading the letter font wrong, but it was strange to get three different words on that one wrong. I was playing by keyboard rather than mouse, too.

Thanks for the fun way to play word games. I hope you implement a reset game function and to be able to skip the screen text into it, too.

Cheers!

Also, when they get taken and replaced with the milk crate, are they meant to be able to be selected for the shotgun? I had saved the two on the left, both replaced with milk crates, but the shot gun got put on the middle one and ended up shooting that TV and it was replaced with her corpse. I ran out of time on that one, but the ticking sound effect kept going after.
Also, for EKNIACDP I couldn't use NAPE. For TCEHSDEA I couldn't use THEE. For PIGSKCUF I couldn't use the F-word (though I got the shotgun and threat, but I haven't tested that word when those four letters aren't in the list).
There was a couple I couldn't get for SRICENTU (and I didn't even dare try the C-word) but I forgot them. SIRE might have been one, not sure.

(+1)

I finally saved them all, huzzah!

Now to get these phrases out of my head ha ha

Yo manticore!! Thank you !! That is some great feedback man. 

I will get to the bottom of the shotgun bug, it has been an elusive one haha

(+1)

This game is addictive in a good way. I've been trying for hours to save the whole family
(+1)

Here's my video on the game! I enjoyed it, (Just ignore how dumb i am)
(+1)

Muy bueno, me encantó!

(+1)

Gave it a Lets Play, difficult but well made 

(+1)

I'm gonna have to do a Part 2 to this because I SUCK AT PUZZLES! This game is super cool and fun tho!

(+1)

nah right when I saw word scramble my family was cooked even they knew. Lovely job on the game btw
(+3)

Great game, very creepy!

I had a few issues issues with it though. I would be clearly clicking on the top row, but it would register as clicking the middle row (Would register as J instead of B for example). The game needs a backspace button for cases like this. 

And then the "Type as many words as you can from the list of letters" / Disorder game is still totally busted. For example I had "hbastcis" and was only able to get the game to recognize "Habits" but not words like "Stab" "Bath" "Chats" "Basic" etc, and then I got "EGGRIHSN" and it wouldn't recognize "Shine" "Shiner" "Ring" "Rings", but it accepted "Eggs". A lot of my "fails" are symptoms of the interface just not working right.

Hi MrKraven! Thank you for the feedback. The custom mouse cursors are slightly off, particularly the index finger press I will be tweaking this today that should fix a lot of the key clicking, however you can use your own keyboard to play the game for the time being if you like :)

Its very strange disorder was not recognising those words, I will investigate that today also, do you happen to have the latest build installed? or are you possibly playing on an older build?

Thanks MrKraven I hope to have the game running smoothly for you very soon.

(+1)

Hey there! I downloaded and installed whichever version was uploaded 14 hours ago. And good to know about being able to use your own keyboard, I should have tried that!

Ok, thanks mate, I have tweaked the cursors now, however I am really unsure why those words did not fire for you as they are set in the array and they are firing on my end. I'll keep digging haha cheers!

(+1)

The Disorder minigame is straight up broken. I saw your previous comment below that makes it sound like you are manually keeping track of all possible words per each set of scrambled letters which, I don't say this to be mean, sounds incredibly inefficient. I don't know what this is made with/in but there must be some way to implement a solution where the computer can just determine for you all the possible word combinations or something. I'm not an experienced programmer though, so make of that what you will.

I've tried to play this to completion for like 5+ hours now and every time I am close to saving everyone, I am "forced" to mess up at Disorder because it will not accept the plethora of valid words I am able to come up with. It's incredibly frustrating. It's a shame cause it's otherwise a fun, little game with a neat atmosphere. The fact that I'm what feels like being forced to lose just really sours the experience.

Hi Reveiller! 

I appreciate the feedback mate! yes the Disorder game mode is broken atm and it is a simple fix that will be pushed out today.

Basically what has happened is the scrambled letters are stored in an array and the scrambled letters in that array were not being cleared correctly before the next round of disorder, so the letters displayed on the second round of disorder are joined by the first set of scrambled letters, this is now fixed and I am just tweaking a few other things before I push the next build up.

I really appreciate you playing and for the feedback! I work on this game everyday and I am also the only developer on the game so I am covering all the bases between modelling, texturing, animating, programming etc so not everything is the most efficient but it doesn't mean it wont be in the future haha 

Cheers!
Stonie.

New update is out mate, hopefully that solves your issue!! Thanks for playing and sharing your feedback!

(+1)

Thanks for the replies. And if my first comment came off as harsh, I apologize; I was fresh off the heels of another failed attempt and was getting a bit heated.

Unfortunately I'm gonna be away for a while without access to my regular computer and so I won't be able to try out the updated version till the end of next month. Hopefully I'll be far less frustrated though and thanks for all your hard work.

(+1)

Definitely a different style of game, always loved word games and puzzles so add that with a great horror theme of saving your family makes for an great play, 100% recommend giving it a try 

Thank you Tatts!! I appreciate you mate!

(+1)

Great game and a nice twist on the classic hangman.
Solid foundation and looking forward to what else you can add to this already cool experience.

Cheers mate! 

Hey Al Catone!!
I Really appreciate that dude!!
Cheers!

Hopefully I will get this game soon It looks amazing

Can you tell me the system requirements please?

(1 edit)

Hi ngaudz, so the lowest system I tested on was an Alienware 17

GPU - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 880M

CPU - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4910MQ CPU @ 2.90GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.9GHz

Memory - 32GB RAM

and the game ran ok. hope that helps :)

Really enjoyable experience so far.

I found a bug, basically when you spam your keyboard during the "hangman" segment you can brute force your way to figuring out the 3 words. By pressing multiple buttons at once, it will only recognise if you got 1 wrong, allowing you to easily figure it out. I saw you are adding more words to your database which will make things much better! Also i noticed that the shotgun with the egg timer segment seems to continually go off even after its not being used afterward and think it would benefit by being muted after a person has been shot! 


So many awesome aspects but just wanted to share my findings. Looking forward to where this goes! 


All the best

Great feedback MrDodgex!!
thank you mate!! all of those are being addressed so I should have a better build to you soon.
Cheers!
Stonie.

(+1)

Also I feel this definitely takes place somewhere in the https://whalitf.itch.io/darkweb-streamer universe, at least enough to use that as an excuse to make sure you know about this game.

Thank you Legion :) I will check it out

Thank you for having the courage to be the person to ask "where is the intersection between Wordle and SAW", I commend you, and I find this, unironically, to be stunning and brave.

(+1)

Very fun. I'm a big fan of word games, so this is a nice take. A couple of things I've noticed: 


1. What I click on doesn't always correspond to what actually gets pressed. It seems that clicking on the middle of a key causes the key directly below it to get pressed.


2. The timed "type as many words as you can" round just straight-up does not accept any words I type in. It doesn't accept the "fill a word out for me" button either. 


I have no idea if these are intentional or not, but just figured I'd mention.

(+1)

Hey RoyalJiggle!! thank you for the feedback!

I will do another pass over the key collision today, thank you for that.

So with the Disorder game mode, there is still some words missing from the database (there were waaaay more word combinations than I was expecting haha) so there is a chance some words won't fire but my wife and I are adding more words nearly every update so I hope to have less chance of that occurring soon.

I will have a new build out sometime tonight so hopefully it works better for you :)

Cheers!

Stonie.

NEW VIDEO!!! Today we play Disorder a phycological word association game, with a twist. Can we save the family?

I loved this game, spent two hours playing before I figured out I finished the game on my first round lol. The amount of different possibilities is amazing cant wait for more.

Thank you JaimieeGaming! Im glad you enjoyed the game mate :)

(+1)

Cheers for the reply can't wait to try again!!!

(1 edit) (+1)

Really enjoyed this game, thought it was really fun to play, there was a couple things though, the zoom had a mind of its own alot of the time, also the timer on the shotgun, i don't know if its a glitch but seems that it gave you maybe 30 seconds to complete all 3 rounds, it wouldn't reset the timer after the first round, don't know if that was intentional but if it was then ignore all this haha, and also some of the words that i would get in previous rounds would not work again when repeated, all in all though this was fantastic and really reminiscent of buckshot roulette, cant wait to see what's next!

Thank you GoopyApple!! I really appreciate the feedback mate! I am aware of a couple of bugs with the zoom and shotgun timer and will be addressing them very soon :)

(+1)

legend!, honestly love your vision and i really hope you keep adding to it im thinking of doing another video and i really wanna save them all hahaha

(+2)

Awesome!

Wow, you just made my week Mike! Thank you!

(+1)

Well this game was fun just in a room playing games for my family's life.

Loved your reactions RandomOne!! Thanks for playing mate!

(+1)

Cool game. I really love it in games/tv where the villain gives the person a chance/illusion of chance, to survive. It would be cool to see more of the players interactions/relationship with their family pre-kidnapping, in order to build more on the stress of the choices. I really loved the difficulty; it makes succeeding even more of a reward! Keep up the good work!

Thank you for the kind words ocean!! I have so many cool plans and ideas for the future of this game.

(+1)

The latest update broke the game more for me. When I try to zoom in to see what's on the "computer" it zooms everywhere but there. Only the big screens. Also, if a family member had died or survived prior to the last round, it shows place holder on their screens making it impossible to survive. 

Hope that gets fixed soon, I'm still trying to save them all :)

Thank you for the feedback psykongelic, I will investigate that here shortly

Hi psykongelic, I have tried to replicate your issues and can't seem to, if you are happy to help and can send a screenshot of what you are seeing to StonieDudeDev@Gmail.com, I will try and get this solved for you asap mate.

Cheers!

Stonie.

didn't cross my mind to take a screenshot. I'll try it again in a few and I'll send it over. 

Just sent it your way. Since it has an attachment, be sure to check junk mail, just in case, Subject has my user name

Awesome, thank you for that!
