This gives me Kitty Horrorshow vibes.

Hello! I tried to run the game on Windows 10, NVIDIA GeForce 820M and Intel(R) HD Graphics Family, but met similiar to tomgaar's problem: black screen after opening text. However, I can walk, hear the sound of it and interacting. Is there any way to fix the problem? :c

Hi! I think it has to do with the fact that there's a video file in the game. I've been looking into this but overwhelmed with work and other projects. The video in the game is a .mov format, so I'm wondering if maybe you might have issues playing .mov files. A few things you could try are making you've up-to-date with your windows updates and graphics drivers. You could also try making sure the game runs using your GeForce card rather than the Intel one. Also, try running the game as admin. Let me know if any of that helps!

Interesting game

Walking is always right

Hey, enjoyed your game. Loved the bloody visuals and the creature feel of the environment. The overturned subway car covered in pulsating veins added to the desolate feel, as if something alien has taken over. A weird Lo-fi beauty to the graphics too, and unexplained story. Your style's great, thanks for creating :)

The game looks confusing,the psx visuals looks great.Overall,Great short little game

Disgusting, I love it xD

Very interesting game. i'm a huge fan of psx visuals. 

wow! This game deserve more content. Impressive visuals.

I played both of the games together, seeing as they are part of the same series. The games just look amazing, especially when you see the bus just hanging there, it really gave me a different idea on what the story was going to be. Was not expecting the way the story was going, they were both really great games.

Holy crap I love this. I wish this had taken off instead of Mario and AAA titles were whatever genre this is.

A very unusual game to play, as I had no clue where this was going. A good thing, because many games have become predictable. I thought there was some logic to the valves, but I'm not sure.

But thank you for making this [and other games]. I've played a second one in your series [t be released later on, on my channel] and am now digging for more [provided they are there].

Kudos to all involved!

Hello. I tried to play this game on a Mac, but all I could see were black, green, and purple pixels, which seemed to form the vague shapes of objects and the boundaries of a room. I could walk around the environment and after a bit of fumbling I was able to turn valves that I could not see to open a door, which I could also not see. This door led to more of the same. At first I thought this was a part of the game, but I can see from watching other people's playthroughs that it's definitely not. I was curious if anyone else who uses Mac has encountered these weird graphics. The image below is an example of what I saw and the only structure I could make out. The door is somewhere at the base of this.

That is very bizarre, I know one person had to set permissions on the executable. I'm aware that modern OSX have this new thing with signed programs, so it might be something to do with that.

Hi there! I've been trying to run this game for a while, but I'm only getting a black screen after the initial text. I run a Geforce GTX 770 on a Windows system, and I've been able to play every other game but this. Has anyone else experienced something similar, and if that's the case, is there any solution? Thanks in advance and sorry for the troubles!

I think it’s due to the video that plays on the tv screen. I’ll be looking into a fix for this soon. 

Not a bad little game, good work :)

I think what I said in the Veins game applies here too, but we see the continuation of the story left in Veins (my opinion, of course). Let's wait for the next episodes. Congrats and keep it up.
