About This Game

Disclaimer

This game is defective. You can still try to play, but you won't go much further than the main menu unfortunately. Well, maybe someone smart will be able to make it work, for instance by making the game glitch or something. But I doubt it. We've already tried everything.

Records of various problems we encountered

When we start the game, we're just faced with endless menus that make no sense.

  • error_file_1

I mean just look at this mess. Someone managed to get to the world map and it's clearly unplayable. It seems there's a trick to get past that, but no idea what.

  • error_file_2

We've spent a lot of time designing this character creation tool, but to no avail. It doesn't work either now. The game worked perfectly well some time ago. We don't know what happened. It's as if something messed it up... from inside. I know it sounds insane but there's no other explanation.

  • error_file_327

We even hired a software engineer to break into the code and see what happens, but it's always the same. There's that weird smiley face taunting us and preventing us from going further. It was embarrassing not being able to answer the engineer's questions. I've asked the team and it's clear none of them programmed this thing. Where the hell did this smiley face come from?

  • error_file_47̷͈̎ζ̷̗̾≢̢̳̔͆ ̸̽ͅξ̶͇̝͗

We'll still leave the game on Steam in case someone wants to solve this weird mystery. Just don't get your hopes up. Oh and by the way, the game doesn't even close. Some of our computers seem a bit messed up since we installed it. Legal notice: Our company won't be held liable for any damage it caused.
