Feedback and bug reporting

[David Wehle]

Hello, my name is David and I'm the developer. Thank you so much for all the comments! The reception of the demo has made me incredibly happy, but I also know there's a lot left to do to make the full game stellar and bug-free. Every comment helps, so keep it coming in this thread, or in a separate thread if you prefer! I'm unable to respond to everyone but me or my wife do read every single comment.

I also made a short Google Form which helps too, please fill this out when you get a chance and answer honestly: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfNEg4GbJ6laQmJn4YePBODB49__HupE-kC0PyMUKx04Env6g/viewform?usp=sf_link

Video clips of bugs occurring can be a gigantic help too, so if there happens to exist a video of the bug happening, please link to it here and I will definitely take a look!

Thank you for the support! I'm excited to keep working and improving the full game.

Sincerely,
David

Got a softlock on the first day. I think it was because I tried to rightclick (which should be zoom?) at the same time I pressed Q to put the map away after picking it up for the first time. The game is still running, but I cannot move or interact in any way other than opening/closing the menu.

After restarting day on Day 4 my to do list is empty.
I checked and in SaveFile0.es3 I can see the below section's value being empty, which may be the reason, but I'm not sure what the cause could be - but I would check how the todo_tasks are being cleared when restarting the day.
"todo_tasks" : {
"__type" : "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary`2[[System.String, mscorlib, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089],[ToDoManager+TaskDetails, Assembly-CSharp, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null]],mscorlib",
"value" : {
}

I encountered my first bugs!

1) I was trying to show my partner the ghoul behind the tree on day 2 but he missed it so I restarted the day. I tried to get through my to-do list, bought the build book and chicken coop but the B key didn't bring up the book. I restarted the day and tried quitting to main menu to resume the game but I still couldn't access the build book.

2)Following an encounter with a torch wielding creep in the forest at the front of the house I passed out as I stayed up too late. I woke up in bed -$20 but it was still nighttime. The sun didn't rise and the moon didn't move... not sure if this is a bug but the painting showed the normal scene of the hallway and closed door so I felt pretty sane!

Fantastic demo. Very interesting mix of farming and horror. I love the attention to detail. It was a pleasure to play and I'm looking forward to buying it once released.

I created a playthrough which highlights the challenges / bugs and also gives you my perspective whilst playing.

THE FIX FOR THE EMPTY TO DO LIST IS TO BUY THE RIFLE!!
But this also puts you at the end of the Demo.
I suggest waiting, i LOVE farming <3

Hello author, please let go of endless mode, I can't wait to farm and raise chickens, and that atmosphere and game story

Hello author, when will it be online

So far the demo has been fun and interesting. I haven't run into any major bugs except volume issues. I finally got out to the barn to explore and once up top I started hearing wolves growling and barking very loudly. I looked around thinking maybe they were somehow up at the top with me or it was a hallucination, but nothing. The loud sounds kept going, so I went into the volume option tab and adjusted everything from 100 to 30 and yet the wolf noises were just as loud. I turned everything down to 0 and was still getting the same issue and had to turn my PC volume all the way down to make it tolerable. Another issue involving said wolves was once I climbed back down I saw them and ran back to the house and shut the doors, yet they phased right through as if the doors didn't exist and proceeded to attack and kill me. A bit of a turn off. Hopefully the finished product won't have the same sound and graphic issues.

I'm loving the game, but seem to have found a bug. I quit the game at the start of day 4. When I returned and loaded this save, my to-do list is empty, but the game tells me I have not completed my to-do list. I am unable to do things I noticed were possible on day 4 before I quit last time, like pick up the trash downstairs. Thanks for the wonderful demo!

Edit to add to the issues: I cannot delete the broken save or start a new game alongside this problem. Reloading the save and restarting the game don't seem to help with this issue.

Ran into this same issue. I had progressed from Day 3 (I did "Restart Day" on Day 3, progressed to Day 4 without issue) made a mistake on Day 4 of not focusing on the To-Do list. Selected "Restart Day" and To-Do list was empty. "Restarted Day" another time to see if that would fix it but still a blank To-Do list. Tried to see if I could progress the day if the tasks are done (thinking the To-Do list is simply not showing the text but the game triggers are still present) and couldn't sleep.

Well at least I can retry from the start and actually build a proper chicken coop with a fence so the fluff balls don't run off (which is the reason I restarted Day 4 in the first place)

Это. Было. Просто. Шикарно.

I have two issues (disclaimer my laptop is old so it might just be me). So when it comes to going up any stairs it takes forever the watch tower by the farmhouse, the farmhouse all the stairs especially the one to the bedroom (for those who don't know if you miss a night you lose money... I missed 3/4) and whilst trying to get up stairs I glitched into other side of the rusted door, read the diary passed out. Apart from that sometimes the sound stutters.

Apart from that great demo I got spooked many times and one time seeing things from the corner of my eye (and that thing following me into the house I think it had antlers)

This is about the SAVING bug. I started a second playthrough (did not delete first). I got the bug starting on day 10. There was strange music playing just before sleep (prior to that night, there was strange music and a pile of notebooks, but I can't recall if it was the night before or a night or 2 earlier). Once awake, edges of screen were blurred and the word SAVING was on screen. Just for fun, I continued until day 14, then rebooted from the menu. The SAVING word on screen was gone, but only temporarily, and all work/construction was gone that I did during that time, plus the cat had vanished (could still put feed in bowl). As soon as I slept the SAVING bug returned.
I did hit escape during play to check some settings/pause the game. I also did that with the first playthrough, but didn't get the SAVING bug, just the missing cat.

Also noticed more visual issues, I think screen tearing, but not sure. I have FPS limited to 60 with Vsync on. Seemed to occur mostly towards the bottom of the screen.
Edit: Found the cause of some of the visual issues. I didn't have the monitor specs set right in settings.

Loving it so far. I like the idea of trying to keep madness at bay as a primary game mechanic.

The most persist issue I've seen is that saving after a certain point seems to roll back to what might be the beginning of the "chapter." Certain progress seems retained, like unlocks, but any modifications to the farm are rolled back to that earlier state. This includes all the garbage on the 2nd floor being put back after that objective was cleared with no way to reclean it.

Seems to be the same issue Silent Crow mentioned.

So far I love it, though would like the days to be a bit longer so I can explore more after taking care of the animals and plants. :-)

Hi David!
First of all... Congrats on this project of yours! I really enjoyed the Demo and I will buy the game as soon as it comes out!

The bug I encountered was related to two wolves: they followed me inside the house, I killed them in the kitchen and their bodies remained there for days, until the experience was over. I was unable to move and/or sell them.
It would be amazing if it were possible to remove them or if they disappeared overnight.

Other than that, I know it is a horror game but I would love to have more daylight just to explore.

The last thing: sometimes when you load a lot of things to sell, some of them come out and go to the ground. Is it possible to the objects to stick to the trailer?

And that's it! I hope your game will be available for purchase soon! Such a great job!
