The art style is creepy and has that uncanny valley look, incredible.
Now draw them getting married
What am i supposed to do on the third (fog) level??? i walk around aimlessly and don't find anything
Same
The legend is back lets gooooooo!!!!!
If you update this, can futa be an option?
love the game, cute girl, good horror aesthetic and a nice game all around. i hope you can finish it in the future
I played this game; it's so fun to play. I beat levels 1 and 2 and the dark library. There are two levels I can't beat: the Light Fog Purple Tree and Dark Fog Purple Light level (I can't remember the name) i found purple tree level but can't interact with it same as the purple light level. Level Dark Library is easy to collect 3 part of a pinky (Ykwym). We can access those levels in level 2 by interacting with different items Pinktoy 1 (the nearest pinktoy); Pinktoy 2 (The farthest pinktoy); Glowing Tree branches
Did they stop updating the game
no
You still on working with this game? :0
yep, mostly on their remake, which hopefully will be released on steam as well!
No wayyyyyyyy
I'll be waiting I mean we(?)
A STEAM VERSION? lets fucking gooooooo
i beat the game to fast a fun note if you press forward side key you go about twice as fast i didnt even need to look at them to save myself i was too built different lol still a absolute vibe
There's no progression past this area in version 0.5 (0.6 coming soon with a progression update)
how do i play the game? i downloaded it but when press launch it just opens a folder with game's files, I'm on mac
I'm not entirely sure on how to run in on mac, since unity exports to all platforms at once, and since i don't own one i can't really test it to be sure.
Sorry! i'll see what i can to to fix it in future updates
Game wont run when I click on the application file, am I doing something wrong
Are you using windows or linux? i'm not sure how to make it run on mac though, sorry!!
windows
how do i escape the foggy area
Walk
for how long
Oh wait, if you mean the third level it does not have progression yet
o
literally made an account to say I can't play it on mac, even older versions, for most games the zip, when unzipped, shows a file, that when opened shows the game, is it different for this game? and if so, is/what is the way to run it on mac?
Sorry!! i don't have a mac so i can't really make sure if it works or not since the unity engine does most of what's necessary on exporting the game file, but i'll see what i can do to fix it
even if you can't do anything thank you or at least trying to help
hot damn, this is still alive. Gotta respect the grind for tall birch mommies creation
Idk man I'd be asking same question
The Birch Demon shall persist through all adversities!!
horror-ish smut is so rare. i like the direction of this project, even as slow as it's going. good luck.
Thanks!
played this game a year ago, I could not find it after that but it just popped back up on the home page of ITCH! so glad to see its still alive.
❤️
I i just uploaded this and i don't know where to share it to so here it is if anyone want to watch
Nice video! love it 😂
i like a lot the creepy black version of her but after she catch me when i move through the map, the place i suppose should have an object, there is only a glow,
also will like to keep the thing of when diying going to the menu with option to choose the map so is easier to find all the animations
Heya! if you mean the third level on a purple area it is not implemented yet (as of 0.5) but it is something to be expected on the 0.6 update which is coming soon to public!
Glad to see this game is still being worked on!
I also have something to say for v 0.5, on the third stage there seems to be no way of progressing, both types of the third stage have a magenta glow where a toy would be but there is none, and I haven't found anything else that would let me move on to what is next
Hey! it is not implemented yet (as of 0.5) but it is something to be expected on the 0.6 update which is coming soon to public!
I am having problems with unzipping the v0.5, but I can unzip all other versions fine for some reason
I'm not sure, but it could be the file extracting tool you are using, it is compressed just like the previous updates
Is there supposed to be something in the second part of the second lvl, when you find the white bundle of sticks, and the lvl after that one when you get caught? I keep finding a blue/purple colored tree area but I can not interact with it? Overall fun game.
same here. I think it may be some kind of bug, as for me, my cursor appears on screen, like its a cutscene, but nothing happens
yea, my cursor does appears when i move in closer so im not sure if there is suppose to be some kind of interaction.
Same here
Heya! if you mean the third level on a purple area it is not implemented yet (as of 0.5) but it is something to be expected on the 0.6 update which is coming soon to public!
Im happy to see that the game is going quite smoothly, the update is pretty nice and the game runs much smoother than before, the extra scenes are also deliciously spicy!
Keep up the good work!
❤️❤️❤️
Does the the Birch Demon just give you a "gameover screen," or is there a jumpscare/specific scene that initiates the gameover screen?
On 0.4 it is a gameover but in 0.5 the game continues to another level
finally new oopdate. Been waiting for this for a while.
also how do i put the full screen?
Alt + Enter
this is just perfect i moved from the old to the new pc this game and now can run it smooth so i ended it and saw the link, and see a new release (honestly now that i can see her better i wanna draw her she is cute)
Nice! I'd love to see your art!
Will there be any more updates?
Yes! Yesterday a new update just got released
i would love to see a saving system so i dont have to start from the beginning after i die at the end or at level2
or a scene/jumpscares gallery after unlocking a jumpscare you can rewatch it for you know what. so being killed is an actual reward
i love this game btw
Just updated with a skip feature
Thank you! ❤️
project still alive?
:(
can you make a save point or check points that you can load into, cuz when you die you have to do the game all over again:(, but beside that the game is great 🥰💖
This is a nice game , simple animation but looking good. Gameplay and maps is also good , game have potential and i can't wait for the new update. I hope will be more characters , maps , and CG or Animated scens :3. And i have one question , anyone know what is it ??? i found this in second map...
Thank you!! something might happen when both are pressed
not sure if that was your original intention, but strafing whilst sprinting makes you fast as fuck essentially making the game much easier but other than that its a great game.
Thanks! I couldn't fix it :(
What endings are there? First try I got the tea one.
Gotta say this game had more to it than I expected. I kinda expected a Slender clone but this game has a coherent (if not simple) story & the mix of 2D & 3D artstyles give it some cool unique visuals. The horror elements aren't bad either. Overall I enjoyed this game quite a bit & look forward to your future projects.
♡♡♡
Hehe, tree titties.
This game is good, I'd love to see some paizuri stuff
It's very good! I'm really not into horror games as I get scared extremely easily and don't like to be too, but this game isn't too over the top with horror. Very well appreciated this. Pretty unfortunate that the source code was lost but I'm definitively looking forward to that remake. I was thinking you could perhaps decompile the game somehow to recover a large portion of the game, but I haven't looked into this solution myself.
Anyway, here's some feedback after this wall of text:
Thank you for the feedback!! i originally intended to make the game more intuitive and keep the player from wandering off too much, but also have some time to explore and get spooked which was pretty hard to balance both out.
There's a hidden cheat code that allows you to skip the first level somewhere, which i guess a lot of players missed due to being too hidden
And again, thank you so much for the feedback! i'm taking notes to apply everything on the remake of the game, it'll take a while because i plan on having higher production value when it gets released, so i'm focusing on getting better at art and coding in general.
-Myst ♡
Decent game and animations. a checkpoint system would be nice depending on how many scenes though
