Interacted with first door of hotel and game broke :) awesome game! looking forward to seeing where it goes :P
Thanks for playing! Which version of the game were you playing when this happened? The web version is a SERIOUS downgrade in terms of load times, sound effects etc, so I wouldn’t be too surprised if issues popped up on there. If you were playing the Windows version, could you give me a quick play-by-play of what led to the crash?
Ah was web version, I honestly cant remember doing much other than interacting with all other doors then going to the door on the far left on the second floor of hotel? then game was unable to play anymore :)
Ah, that makes a bit more sense. I’m currently working on fixing some of the web version issues, but overall, it’s not my top priority. I’m mainly looking to move on from this update and focus heavily on player movement and creating some fun gameplay mechanics. Thanks for the kind words regardless! Hopefully a future update will address this issue.
