Thank you!

Really enjoying the game so far . There are only 1 minor, really tiny thing from me. I would like it if the report menu closed when you have submitted a report. Other than that, good work

Thank you for your request! I've gone ahead and added a small option for this on the report menu - It will be a part of the changes in tomorrow's update

Can a new resolution and refresh rate of 3440 x 1440 180Hz be added?

Hey thanks for asking!

The game is currently heavily built around standard 16:9 aspect ratios. As the game develops we will look at adding Ultrawide support

Hi! The only issue I've encountered is in the basement. The little TV there will have an exclamation point with a yellow triangle around it. I'll use every single thing on the list to report it and it will say anomaly not found. When I know it's something that's not in the beginning of the game. other than that, I'm really loving the game. I'm a huge fan of games like I'm On Observation Duty and my boyfriend found this game for me. I'm happy he came across this!

that is a faster way to report you being over the limit and close to game over. its the same as the text on top of the screen saying that. its not an Anomaly

Hiya! Just want to reiterate what LetsPlayNintendoITA said - This is correct and is an intentional feature of the game. It lights up when you have 4 or more active anomalies in the scene.

I am currently working on a way to make that a bit clearer to the player.

I spend so much time, trying to report the exclamation point. I tried all the options, as I thought it was an anomaly, instead of looking for the real anomaly's. That's the reason I had to look here. Other than that, I like the game. It is good mental training.

VERY minor thing: "Abysmal" usually really means awful where as "Abyssal" tends to mean "of or like an abyss". Abyssal seems more fitting for the kind of anomaly.

Heya! This is mostly intentional - Just to make it stand out a little bit. I like to think of it as some kind of dark, depressing force growing from nothing but it's 100% artistic license. I have had this mentioned a lot though so I hear you 😁

It would be nice if there's no report when the camera is not functioning anymore. It is hard to know if theirs n anomaly or not when the camera is broken throughout the game and yet you fail a few anomaly report for it. Either than that, the game is fund and challenging. I hope it becomes scarier , more jump scares and themes. Also I want to suggest that the words has like small descriptions because I was struggling knowing what it meant.

the reporting ui is weird if you've played OD games. why not use the same key words to report?

Heya! This is a gameplay feature. It used to be that Abysmal anomalies and Presences would end the game but this felt a bit unfair in the Modern House, so in the Neighbourhood House this was changed to knock out a camera. It means the game can still be beaten but you're at a big disadvantage.

I'm currently working on adding a system where the report options have a description over them if you mouse over them - Trying to make it look semi decent

The main reason the names aren't the same is because this is a different game. There's nothing wrong with taking inspiration, but copying directly is a big no-no. I think I've done a good job of selecting anomaly types and names that are decently clear.

Remember when the OD games first came out, they took some getting used to, also. I unfortunately don't have 5 previous games in my series that set the tone for what people should expect. I hope that you can understand why I've decided to make the choices that I have.
