SPOILERS SPOILERS SPOILERS






This is killing me I've searched through all the comments and linked videos for this demon code and I still don't get it this is pretty much the only part I haven't gotten. I unlocked the SSL account and found the phone number 135 but then I couldn't figure out the password I listened to the voice attachment and it kept saying nine repeatedly so I entered NINE and Nine and nine and 9 but that wasn't it. This is probably a super simple puzzle and it's just flying completely over my head :/ Do the geese have something to do with it?

Oh, man, I wish the geese had something to do with it x3 I think I remember what it is, so I'll put it below spoilers :3 Thanks so much for checking out the game and taking the time to complete the random side stuff like this <3

SPOILERS










It sounds like you pretty much did most of the steps. I know you said you listened to the audio clip, so I don't know if you will have also done this, but as far as I can remember, you need to download the audio clip and reverse it to hear the true message.

BUT... to be honest, even if you do that, it's still somewhat difficult to hear the password being spelled out >.< It's probably a pain in the butt to sit and listen to, and it makes the tiniest bit more sense if it's a word heard before in a bonus section of a couple of my other games. Just in case you wanted to try and get it yourself, I'll put it a little below.





Hoping my memory isn't betraying me here since it's a long time ago that I made this game, but I think it's:

Anathema

I can't remember if it needed to be typed exactly like that or with all caps/all lowercase or anything like that though >.<

(1 edit) (+1)

kiol sounds like i name i would come up with lmao

(+1)

Hehe :3 I kinda just needed a really quick and cheeky anagram at the time, and that’s what stuck x3 Sometimes I spend waaaay too long agonising over names >.<

(+1)

i also cant come up with names

used to be good at it though, dont know how the fuck im bad at this shit now

(+1)

Kiol's male voice got me on chokehold and niard's voice is lovely <333 and i can't seem to get the last cg?? i think i missed something Tv

Yay, you gave Niard a compliment :D Niard would be very happy with that, hehe x3

Hmm, it's been such a long time since I worked on this that I can't remember off the top of my head exactly which CG that would be >.< I'm wondering if it's one of the ones I thought I had fixed in an old update but isn't fixed after all T_T Cos there were 2 CGs in particular where a tiny error in my code meant that once you unlocked one of them, you couldn't unlock the other. I could have sworn I managed to fix it, but it's probably still awkward to actually unlock both if you don't happen to have a save in a handy place :( 

I think there's also a CG tied to a side quest which involves investigating elements outside of the game itself, so it could be that one! It's a side quest sorta thing related to Maddie's story, but I don't know if the ARG aspects of it still work because part of it used a Twitter account, which may well have been deleted due to inactivity >.< I can't actually remember the password or anything to check if it's still up xD

Maybe you will have found that last CG by now, but if not, feel free to post a screenshot of your gallery because then I should be able to determine which one it is that's missing and possibly how to get it if I can remember, haha. If you do decide to do that, maybe put a spoilers heading or something in case the thumbnails for the CGs spoil anything x3

Thanks so much for playing the game!! :3

(+1)


Heyaa! your game is super cool! the image below is the last part of the gallery :> the first two were already filled so i guess what im missing rn is cg 34? Thank you so much for this!!!



SPOILERS BELOW ---------------------------

























































I'm glad you like it ^-^


Hmm, okay, I think I do know which one it is that's missing! I just can't remember exactly what the unlock conditions are without looking at the game files, haha >.<


Unfortunately, my main PC is broken atm, but I do have the project files on a portable hard drive I think, so when I get a chance later, I'll plug it into the potato laptop and take a look! :3


I would do it now, but I'm typing on my phone and just about to head out with my pops for a walk >.< As soon as I've had a look though, I'll let you know what I find :3


Hope you get to have a great weekend!!

(+1)

Thank you so much!! your games are so addicting i literally just replayed bitter/sweet blythe cuz i missed the two blythe's voice so much 😭🫶

I’m sorry it’s taken me longer than I said to look into this >.< I ended up with a migraine for most of the weekend, so I didn’t actually make it onto the laptop to look at anything. I’m feeling better now though, so I’ve just had a poke through the files! :3

I’m so glad you like Bitter/Sweet too ^-^ Blythe will always have an extra special place in my heart with that game being more personal than most of what I’ve made x3 If you happen to like the voice of the Blue Blythe, the same VA plays a main character in The Graveyard Shift too (the protagonist if you pick Shearsmith to be male!) :D 

Anyways, regarding that last CG, if it was number 34, I looked at the code, and it says that the unlock condition is related to the support video call with Reiko the werewolf! The call with Reiko yields 3 different CGs depending on your choices with her :3

The choice that unlocks that last CG is if you simply listen to Reiko during the call, rather than attempting to provide any sort of advice. Helpful/Harmful advice unlocks the other 2 chibi CGs related to Reiko. Just listening unlocks Reiko’s special CG.

Hopefully, that helps :3

(+3)

Your games never miss I swearrr

Great story, characters and art. VA, UI and OST are all superb as usual. Everything comes together so well 💚

The whole team did great!

Would you prefer payment here or on kofi? I can do whichever

(+1)

That means so muuuuuch <3 especially considering you’re pretty much playing all of my least-played games, haha. 

This one is still the project I personally feel is the one I’m most proud of even if hardly anyone looks at/downloads it x3 It was such a blast to work on and the whole team was so amazing I wish I could’ve worked with everyone forever!

I’m actually hoping to make a spinoff story set in the same universe but with a totally different MC and outside of SSL for this year’s otome/josei jam. Well, I had hoped it was gonna be for the 2nd yanjam/stained red, but I don’t think I’m gonna have time to make it for that >.< at least not without absolutely destroying myself in the process xD So it makes sense to shuffle my schedule a little bit to push back working on CiQ until June so I can try and make the spinoff for otome/josei jam.

You’re so sweet ^-^ Kofi is always better just because they don’t deduct anything over there so folks get 100% of what you send. Whereas on itch, they don’t take anything themselves if you choose that, but they do have to deduct US tax, and since I’m not a US taxpayer, they set the threshold at the max of 20%. Which means any donations via itch always lose 20% of what’s sent >.<

Please don’t feel as though you have to send something though cos you’ve already supported me before, which I massively appreciate <3 

Thanks so much for checking out this one too + for your support in general :3

(+1)

Ohh good to know about itch, 20% is a lot :0 I usually try to buy kofi for creators if they have it, but wasn't sure how much difference it makes.

If you ever make a spinoff, I'll check it out for sure. 

Also, dw about money, I'm in a privileged enough position to support others so Imma do it while I can 🫶 Plus tbf, if I could, I'd sponsor the whole game creation because it feels like whatever you do, I'm THE target audience. Like I couldn't ask for more if I commissioned it, and it all lives in my head rent-free.

Yeah, I think if you can submit like a tax code or something, then you don’t necessarily have to have 20% taken away in US tax, but because I’m considered too poor to pay tax in the UK, I don’t have anything like that to submit to itch as I've never been given one, so they have no choice but to take the maximum of 20% so they’re covered legally or something >.<

It helps that Ko-Fi is a UK company I think :3 And they basically tell you that taxes and stuff are your own responsibility so if you’re selling stuff on there, you need to keep on top of it yourself.

As far as I’m aware though after having spoken to an advisor on stuff like that a couple of years ago, because I’m receiving donations rather than selling things for an income, and because I don’t receive an amount in donations that breaches a certain figure, I don’t have to think about any of that sort of thing, and a good job too cos I wouldn’t have the clue wtf I was doing x3

Well, it’s very kind of you to consider supporting creators cos a lot of people probably still wouldn’t choose to even if they were in a position to do so :3 

I’m actually just about to make a post over on Ko-Fi and set a brand new funding goal since the current one was just reached today! ^-^

And man, that means so much to me I don’t even have the words x3 I guess we have pretty similar tastes, haha. Somehow, I still haven’t managed to make the ultimate yandere that always lurks somewhere in the back of my mind just out of reach xD but maybe I’ll get there someday!

(+1)

I truly have no words; well, I do,as soon you will here me absolutely yap my praises. But this truly feels like something I ought to have paid to play. The art and voice acting is of professional quality, and fits the aesthetics of the game so well. And dont EVEN get me started on the OST; what absolute BANGERS.  As for the story, it is extemely unique and nothing like anything I have ever experienced before; a welcome deviation to be sure! While this may have just been me being a bit blind to obvious hints in retrospect, the twist really did catch me offguard. I guess I really fit into 9's shoes, with my line of thinking; I was CONVINCED it would be the masked person!(terrible at remembering names). Quite sure I didn't get all  the endings but I want to write this in the spur of the moment, so take this with a grain of salt; GOD I loved the silly little robot administrator! The Silly! So precious, spend the entirerty of my first playthrough hanging out with him, while most would've done this to find out more about Maddie, I just wanted to spend time with the goober! 

Aaaaa x3 Well, I don’t have the words to thank you enough for checking out the game and then leaving such a lovely comment <3 I'm so glad you had fun with it! :D

I still feel deep down like this is probably the best project out of everything I’ve managed to make so far, and I’m soooo proud of the jam team, but it will never stop annoying me that this is one of my least played games, haha.

It honestly means a lot that you think it’s of commercial game standard :3 I poured my heart and soul into it, and I know everyone on the jam team who worked on it did too. With my low self-esteem, I often doubt that the things I’ve done are any good until people tell me otherwise, and as I’ve recently learned while attending a post-ASD diagnosis support group, autistic people like me are often unpaid or underpaid for what they do because of lacking the social skills to ‘make it’ >.< 

It means the world as well that you like the OST! I think Limbo Line’s music was the second OST I ever worked on, so I was still in the process of learning as I tried to create tracks, but I tried my best at the time, haha. One day, I will actually get around to uploading my missing OSTs to YouTube!

There are a fair few endings and little hidden side stories and stuff all over the place in this one, haha. I’m not sure how long it would take to find everything, but it definitely requires multiple playthroughs picking different options at break times and stuff :D 

That’s so cool that you had fun with Admin Acheros :D I don’t think he gets that many shoutouts compared to some of the other characters, but I agree, he’s definitely precious, hehe. 

Thank you so much for playing & for all your kind words <3

(+1)

The game was absolutely cool but too bad I didn't get to date Tava as I wanted :P

Aww, sorry about that x3 Tbh, it would've been a lot of fun to make a dating sim spinoff of this! Heck, LPB and I wanted to make something set in the same universe with the same cast of characters and have them as romance options, but we've just never gotten around to it cos we're always busy with other projects and such, haha. 

So glad you had fun with it though! Thanks so much for playing & hope you have happy holidays :3

(+1)

Perhaps you could start now?

Sadly, I just don’t have the time, and I don’t think LPB does either :( I’ve got other project commitments to attend to (finishing Clarity in Qualia, Darling Duality, Bitter/Sweet, Yandere Heaven fangame,  and making more progress with the Masked Marionette) >.< And all that is gonna take me at least 2-3 years I reckon, possibly more. Would be handy to be able to pause time so I could work on more stuff  cos there's never enough time in the world x3

Hope 2024 is going well for you so far!

(+1)

I haven't played this one yet but soon I will !!

Noice :D Hope you end up having fun with it whenever you do :3

(+1)

I came back to this after a while... ahhh I'm going to start it now hehe :3

Woo! ^-^ Lemme know if you happen to find any really bad bugs, haha. I’m gonna try and export fresh builds of this in a few months cos I know some small things need tweaking and I need to lock resolution on it to stop UI scaling issues going on when it’s not played 1920x1080 16:9 >.<

Working on a concept for a spinoff of this atm with Lazy Polar Bear :D so I wanted to make sure the original version works as well as it can in case anyone ends up playing the spinoff and then decides to check out this one after x3

(+1)

I had wonderful time in this game and i think YOU my friend deserved a nice golden star pin and for whole crew 10/10 for there work.
1 detail: I dont understand what happened after two last choices because of same cloaks of 2.
(trying to be vague for sake of others who didnt played yet)
Its looked like crutch if you ask me but i didnt get all endings so i dunno maybe somewhere it explained already.
(I absolutely love 669 voice its beautiful)

Aww, thanks so much for checking out this one and for all your kind words! It really means a lot ^-^ We certainly worked our butts off on this one, haha. There’s no way on earth we could’ve done it without such a wonderful team.

Hmm, did you go through the walkthrough? If that’s no help, you’re welcome to drop me a message any time and I’ll do my best to help if I can :3

(+1)

i love niard their voice is so lovely i'm simping

(+1)

And Niard loves you too :P as long as you give them plenty of compliments x3

Probably one of the most awkward effects I’ve ever done on a voice actor’s recordings, haha. I can’t even remember everything I did at this point, but it was a lot. The VA was incredible though :3 No number of fancy FX would’ve worked if it hadn’t been for the brilliant voice work recorded in the first place :D

(+1)

this is incredible!! the overarching mystery was engaging, I love the premise (inside no9 inspo is 10/10 taste) and all the charas were so fun. nine grew on me so much over time and tava is just the best ever, they were my favorites so fast lol. thank you for sharing!

Thanks so much for checking it out and taking the time to type up such a kind comment <3 It never fails to make me mega happy whenever I see someone has played and enjoyed this one since it’s still my personal favourite, but one of my least-played projects x3

Also, *high five* for the Inside No.9 love ^-^ Interesting about Tava too! I was worried that they would wind up becoming the most unloved in the cast, haha. I don't know why, but I thought folks might like Nyari best, but then I read some stuff where people had said she's too bitchy and two-faced so they don't like her much xD

Hey just wanted to say that the text goes sometimes off screen

What system are you playing on, and in what resolution? :o It was designed to be played 1920x1080 16:9, so, unfortunately, if played in anything else, some of the UI can get a bit screwy :( Sadly, it rarely seems to scale properly to accommodate other resolutions, which is why I decided to lock it to 16:9 only in my most recent release and have black bars for others instead. Annoyingly, it still doesn't help with square resolutions entirely >.<

(+1)

i had my suspicions but it took me until the old woman calling about the dead cat for me to realize this is literally the inside no9 episode cold comfort lmao

(+3)

*High five* for getting that :3 Even if you hadn't, I think I did name the episode in the credits doc, haha. It's not the only Inside No.9 VN adaptation I've done either! Though it is the most elaborate one since this one has a heck of a lot of differences to the original.

Really wanted to go off in a lot of different directions with this one and build a different world while still incorporating the original story and ending from that episode ^-^ And none of it would've been possible without the awesome team I got to work with! I just thought it would be a really fun episode to build off of and I loved the way the story was told on the CCTV feeds.

Apartment No.9 is an adaptation of the ep Tom and Gerri. And The Graveyard Shift is an adaptation of the ep The Stakeout :D Tbh I'd love to do adaptations of all the eps, but that would take a ridiculous amount of time >.< even if I didn't add extra choices, paths, endings, characters, or settings and just went for a kinetic version following the episode scripts without deviation, that'd still take forever with how many episodes there are now T_T I will probably do at least a few more though over time!
