yes i tried the debug version aswell and nothing is happening its still a full black screen I also tried to download it on my laptop and I have the same issue im sorry for troubling you
No worries! The debug build should have a separate window that pops up, you probably need to alt tab to see it. It will list any errors. Are you sure you extracted all of the files in the zip?
what's the difference between the DEMO and DEBUG? I want to play the latest update but don't know the difference. I'm a noob with computer stuff so pls help me
The gameplay is surprisingly rhythmic which makes fights interesting. Also this game really does give off the feeling of an old game much more than most games I've played.
Well would ya look at that. I've been curious if anyone had made an indie game that was inspired by the Kings Field approach to dungeon crawling. But now I find a game that succeeds in imitating its entire aesthetic. That is awesome.
I've played on the demo disc, dude it's so nostalgic, u really did captured the feeling from the King's Field series, my only complaint is that bow is freakn stroooong, everything else was so freakn good.
never played king's fields and not sure if that would be a good idea lol, so this was nice. i struggled with the controller but once i switched to M+K it was great! love this
This game has serious potential. I haven't played a first person dungeon crawler before so this is a first for me! The combat is pretty simple. Since this game is still in development and not the final product you guys did well! Can't wait to see the full release.
The combat is too simple. For an action roguelike, that's a bad thing. There are definitely some systems here that could be good but the game relies too heavily on its aesthetic, and without it, gives no reason to play it
The game is being based off of and inspired by old games like King's Field and Shadow Tower, where the combat was very simple. I don't think very much is subject to change, but I may be wrong.
This game was great, and way too addictive for how frustrated i was at the start, but please raise the stamina limit for the full release. I didn't feel that it was part of the difficulty, you just moved way too slowly.
This game excited me so much I had to make an account. I've been tinkering in Godot looking to make something similar but with a set world and narrative focus. I think the idea of Kings Field with less clumsiness & jank is very appealing. It's executed very well here.
My only feedback is that the crossbow viewmodel takes up a lot of the screen, and kinda feels like I'm playing Quake.
I think some lighting nodes and torches would go a long way, I understand that wasn't your priority for this build and it may be not OG Kings Field enough for what you're going for
I'm working on an update that fixes some small bugs and tweaks a few things. Once the update is ready I'll submit the build to steam. Should be before the end of the month!
Excellent game. Weirdly I couldn't open the final door. Was it because I missed the well? Either way, I basically beat it lol. Cool stuff. I really liked the retro feel and music.
You didn't do anything wrong, unfortunately there's a bug where it's actually possible to stand **too** close to the door causing the interact collision to clip through the trigger 😅. I definitely certify it as a win.
I love this and I loathe this immediately. It has those essential KF vibes, but dying and starting again at a newly randomly generated level like any roguelike just makes me want to give up. Consider implementing save games please :/
This game has really stuck with me since I first tried it in the Haunted PS1 Demo Disk 2021. It's simple, straightforward, and casual, which makes it great to come back to again and again
I played Fiend's Isle in the 2021 Haunted PS1 Demo Disc and IT WAS HECKIN HARD (at least for me) but now I only look back on it fondly so it definitely did something right! Also the music is so relaxing, it helps hold down the rage from dying 20 times in 15 minutes. The mace is my boyfriend now.
This has fully earned its place on the Wishlist!! I loved every second of this and considering this is just a preview, I'm excited to see more in the future!!

its looking like if kings field and the roguelike genre had a child
and I love it
great job!! i hope you keep making games!
Congratulations for the amazing demo! I really enjoyed playing it.
how long it is for now? i know its in DEMO but i don`t want to download a short game so i will download it for later. (btw it looks cool)
The demo takes 10-15 minutes to play through. The full game is on hold while I try to figure out how to pay for it's development.
ok thx :)
game looks good watching people play it, but for some reason every time I open the game on any version i just get a perma black screen with game audio
Did you try the debug build? There should be a console window that pops up with any errors you might be having.

This is the msg im getting for the menu and yes im pretty sure I extracted the right way

None of those errors should be causing the issue you're describing. Sorry, I don't know what's wrong :/
nice game to play!
i have completed the demo.
Looks cool. Very Kings Field like
Great Game, Loved It.
what's the difference between the DEMO and DEBUG? I want to play the latest update but don't know the difference. I'm a noob with computer stuff so pls help me
The debug version is just for bug reports, they both have the same content.
Very nice

how do i launch it on chromebook
This game isn't available for chromebooks. Either install windows on it or play the game on some other hardware.
This game has serious potential. I haven't played a first person dungeon crawler before so this is a first for me! The combat is pretty simple. Since this game is still in development and not the final product you guys did well! Can't wait to see the full release.
This demo is AWESOME. Can't wait to see more. Great job, man!

Edit: Or atleast make the walking speed higher
It is very interesting and nostalgic! Great job!
Just finished the demo and I love the atmosphere and simplicity of the experience! I definitely am excited for more.
NGL i this was pretty cool feels nice starts at 1:51:01
I loved the game!!!! can't wait for the full release!!!!

Overall, I'm salivating for the release!
Thanks for playing! I definitely plan to experiment with some more lighting effects, I agree some torches could look really good!
Ah yes, I wish I had gotten an NPC into the demo... Maybe in an update soon 😉
When will the Steam version of the Demo be available?
I'm working on an update that fixes some small bugs and tweaks a few things. Once the update is ready I'll submit the build to steam. Should be before the end of the month!
Thank you for the detailed feedback :D. Your observations and ideas are pretty inline for what I have planned so stay tuned!

Thanks for playing, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Very cool job, focused on the essential. The ambiance is very good, calm and spooky. The saws got me but i enjoyed the game !
Mind Boggling!
I am weak

Thank you for playing! I'm thinking about adding a clock to track how long it takes to complete a run, is that something you'd like to see?
I think that'd be really cool, and it would add more replay value to the game
Wow this is the best page I´ve ever seen
Thanks, have you seen the one I made for the Haunted PS1 Demo Disc 2021? :D

thx :)
love me some dungeon crawl
