Story mode not detecting game completions?

[Rodrogiar]

Playing through the story mode, beat the first game (dating sim one) with no problem, unlocked the achievement and progressed into the rest of the house. Unlocked Solipsis next and played to completion and unlocked the achievement. However after this there was no voice clip. After then playing through squirrel stapler and beating it with the achievement, i got the voice over saying that i had beaten 2 games and had ten left.

Is this a bug? is there any way to get my game to recognise that i beat solipsis without having to replay it? Re-opening the game seemed to not affect anything. (really enjoying the collection otherwise)

I also got the voice-clip about 2 games done after my 3rd game. Seems to be a bug and apparently it doesnt have to do with what games you choose, since i unlocked: Toy Shop -> Touched By An Outer God -> To the End of Days

Thanks for letting us know!

It would seem that sometimes the "you've beaten two games" prompt does indeed activate several games in. Fortunately, the endgame is triggered via achievements, so as long as they have all been unlocked (except for the final one), you should be fine.

Feel free to let us know if things keep working (or not) as we keep looking into it. Thanks again!

Similarly having issues with narration not popping as expected. I've gone through two partial cycles thus far (* = narration does not play as expected):

1: Sucker For Love -> Another Late Night -> Arcadletra* -> reset house
2: Arcadeltra -> Sucker For Love* -> Another Late Night* -> To The End of Days*

Do the games need to be completed (i.e. achievement pop) to trigger narration, or is it sufficient to start a game and exit? Could be helpful in figuring out where the wheels are coming off.

Just a heads up, we put out a new update so this bug has potentially been addressed. If anyone experiences this after the time of this comment, please let us know.

Uh oh. I haven't heard anything and I've finished 7 of the 12 games at this point. Does it make a difference that I got all 12 keys and unlocked all the games in one go before starting to play them? I considered the house section to be its own, 13th game and played it through as such. Playing the games in order going right, so: sucker for love -> charlotte's exile -> undiscovered -> the toy shop -> arcadletra -> diving bell -> another late night. I've gotten the achievements for all of said games and have not once heard a voice clip, nor any indication that would tell me I've completed said games, like how the pictures in the first collection are scratched out. Nothing like that happens here. I'm playing on the updated version.

[Braden]

Update: I beat all 12 games and all of the achievements (including the 13th one for beating the 12 games) unlocked, but I haven't heard a single voice clip after the "menagerie of horrors" one that plays at the beginning of the game. Also, the door to the right of the TV is still blocked. I thought beating the 12 games would open that door. Is it even possible to get into that room? I'd sure like to.

[Braden]

Update 2: I tried exiting DX2, starting it back up, starting up a game and exiting that, and then the door opened and I was able to watch the credits.

Still didn't get to hear any lore after that, though. I hope the audio is available in the game files.

Hey there, Braden!

Thanks for letting us know about your issues. Did you first play the Collection on the latest patch or did you start it before then?

Both of the concerns would indicate you are running a previous version, but we're open to hearing otherwise.

Are you running any sort of antivirus software? We've been hearing of file errors occurring on account of that.

And yes, if anyone else has experienced this and has only started the game yesterday, please comment as well.

[?Syntax Error]

Yesterday I beat three games, got the achievements and the narrator said something about beating two of the games. I did get the respective achievements for all three games. I am playing on the latest version I assume, since I only bought the game yesterday.

Also I had a serious graphical bug in the game "Diving Bell", artefacts all over the screen. This can be tied to drivers for my video card or DirectX that needs to be updated tho.

Last note : I have no antivirus running, other then the microsoft defender software.

I played and beat the entire thing in one 13-hour sitting. The game installed an update just before I started playing.

Nope, just default Windows Defender + good old common sense

So I finished all the games and the only voice prompts I got were:
2 games done - after 4 completed
1/3 done - after 6 or 7

After I got the last achievement I restarted the game and the door was finally unlocked. No voice speaking with me though.

Also... the box on the TV was opened and empty then.

[Junayah]

Oh btw I have my games installed on a separate HDD.
Steam runs on my SSD together with Windows.

And I mentioned the box on the TV because it kept changing from closed to open.

[Braden]

I do have a question for Artman Cometh, actually.

If I reset my "puzzle progress" and start the house over, do all the puzzles, get the 11 keys again, and unlock and start+exit the games one by one, will I then get the dialogue? I shouldn't have to replay the games, right? How does the parent program detect whether a game is completed or not? Does it check the achievement stats? If so, this should be pretty trivial.

[Artman Cometh]

Hey yall,

I've forwarded this on to the developers. Fingers crossed we can get to the bottom of this. Thanks again for chiming in and answering all my questions.

Braden, to answer your question: I thiiiink it's activated via achievements, but I could be wrong. Endgame is though and the basement door should still be unlocked when you re-start. If you want to test it, one game will still need to be beaten to open the rest of the house (one of the reasons I'm not certain about the dialogue). I recommend Sucker for love as it's quick to click through.

Cheers,

Wait, you have to beat a game to open the rest of the house? I just popped the tape in, nothing happened and the door opened, then I got the 11 keys, grabbed all the tapes, read the comic and played all 12 games in one long binge-fest. Did I break something?

I recommend Sucker for love as it's quick to click through.

Counter-recommendation: Charlotte's Exile. Game can be beaten in literally 5 seconds if you know The button combination to the launchpad.
