however in chapter one the painting sometimes appears twice in a row- is that meant to happen??
i didn't manage to get all the collectables but i was close.
getting the knife was confusing
I really like the UI but I don't understand the point of the bathroom number thing seeing as I completed the game without it - unless it unlocks something secret???
overall it was fun and intriguing, though a little hard to understand at times
the ending I got was dreaming- is that really a good thing? it doesn't feel like it.
a fun universe that i'd love to see more of (in game. never in real life lmao-)
Hi there, thanks for your comment! yes, the painting can appear multiple times in a row, odds become lower that it might happen, but in theory, it can appear a hundred times in a row. The bathroom number is a silly little thing, that unlocks a bit more lore.
if i got that painting a hundred times in a row i might actually go insane BAHAHA
I was so stressed out because i needed to get upstairs before time ran out but. painting.
oh yeah one thing I forgot: if i'm on the painting but i click the quest thing to check it acts as if I clicked on moving while the painting hasn't blinked yet is that supposed to happen?? sorry if im like asking too much
Hi again, don't worry, there is nothing like "too" many questions, sorry for my late response! Anyway, yes, it's intended, otherwise one could "cheat" by going to the main menu and deleting the current run.
Rule 2 already has me hooked. I can see an entire game built just around that line and I hope this will somehow be the case.
Rule 2 actually made me stop to tell people about it and come up with theories about it.
You raised the bar already with that one!
From my first impression, I would recommend having someone proofread the intro parts that contain thoughts and indirect speech. It could be smoother to read with proper punctuation to it! :) (I see someone else also commented that half a year ago, I agree!)
Make sure to check back for an edit to this post. I will add to this as I play!
First edit:
I need more time to read. I had no chance to die in front of the painting because the blinking happened before I was done reading the first paragraph. The Option in the Basement that disappears with the 2nd text block appearing was also gone at the point I reached the clickable part. I know I am not this slow. Somehow I feel like I had no chance to click the basement options without knowing the game before going there and that felt unfair and a bit demotivating to continue. I will tho. I like the concept, especially the compass and quest mechanic as such.
Thanks for your detailed comment! As for the proofreading part, yes, I do have a proofreader and have had one in the past, the problem is the immense size (over 150k words~), and asking that much time from a proofreader is exhausting for them, so it's mostly done in small batches.
I agree, the RNG is sometimes a bit out of place with disappearing texts, especially since there is no way of returning them. The usage of these time-limited blocks is rather blasphemous and has been tinkered with numerous times. One day I will fix the issue and improve the mechanic (suggestions are welcome!!). (The basement is one of the locations that hasn't been rewritten, or proofread correctly :(! )
Currently, I am still developing my latest project which is, even compared to this project, enormous, and draining much of my time.
Feel free to leave feedback; I will 100% note it down and ponder upon it later when I have this project open.
As for Sleepover Rules, I am completely re-writing the whole thing (code-wise), from the ground up, to make it more modular and easier to change things, something Project 6 (current project) has taught me, and makes me scream at Sleepover Rules for not having designed it from the beginning like that.
is there a way to download this game? I had to stop for the night so I quit the game and it said I could continue, but when I came back the data was gone and I haven't done anything since so It'd be nice to actually be able to download it so I don't lose my progress
Hey there, the game is browser-based, so downloading or not, it's your browser's settings that prevent the save from being saved. You can, however, import or export save files whenever you want in the settings menu!
oh I didn't even notice that option, that works perfectly too! thank you for replying I appreciate it I'll give this game another go tonight in that case :3
Went to open the menu in front of the painting that stares at you before she blinked. She killed me. Also, if you'd like any assistance in cleaning up the English text, I'd love to be of service.
Hey there, thanks for your feedback. As for the painting, it's normal such events do kill you if you try to exit to the menu, otherwise one could reset a round without ever dying. As for cleaning up the text, I want to thank you for the generous offer, for now, I am slowly revisiting texts with a second editor here and there since it's literally a ton of text... so don't worry I got it covered (for now)!
I wonder what morning rules Rule 4 is? I got a death saying "survived until 8:04" because of that rule, and a girl tells me I should only grab my bags, but I thought there's only 3 morning rules written? Is that a bug or is it meant to be that way?
I've been playing this for so long, trying to get all the little secrets and goodies, I love it!! I also really love the atmosphere and horror you've crafted without using any jumpscares. Jumpscares always freak me out so bad and I have passed up many a game because I couldn't find out if there were jumpscares or not, but you tell the player first thing and I am so grateful for that!! 10/10 can't wait for chapter 2 updates

Hi and it's me again...
I wonder what morning rules Rule 4 is? I got a death saying "survived until 8:04" because of that rule, and a girl tells me I should only grab my bags, but I thought there's only 3 morning rules written? Is that a bug or is it meant to be that way?
Hey there, yes that's a typo. It should be "Morning rules, rule 3"! I will fix it in the next update!
I forgive the dog for biting my hand.
The dog is by far my favourite character.
Please give the dog a name!!!
Maybe one day you (the reader) can name the dog, but that's a big "maybe"! ;)

Thank you for your kind words! I am currently trying to finish the update, hopefully it will be everything you wished for!
I've been playing for like an hour, my brain hurts but I honestly love this game
I hope in a good way! Thanks for playing!
definitely a good way!
