itch.io

Hey, first of all thanks for playing! This demo is still gathering feedback, so It will be perfect if you could describe your path step by step here or in our discord:

thank you!

Thank you for the interest, I am glad you enjoyed the vibes and the setting! 

The game should initially broke the MC and bring to the one last resort - Gia’s job. Which will lead to the main path discovery. It is only in demo now, but in the full game there will be homeless branch, and tier 1 living branch too as a side routes for the story. 

Thank you for playing and giving wishlist 🩷

hey, I enjoyed so much reading your comment! I am happy you had fun and felt the atmosphere of this world, first chapter could be stressful and kinda desperate, thats the setting buildup 😌

And regarding the bug, which is definitely is, and will be investigated and fixed in no time, thanks for finding it and pointing out. 

By the way, did you managed to finish till Lazy Hack Lazy Death and kidnapping? 

Yes, I am doing all external promotion as I possibly can atm too, and will continue doing that. While itch.io discovery helped dramatically better than most of it. Thank you so much for a note on this. 

My game was sitting on the first page of every relevant tag (and occasionally the front page) for about a week, after being completely dead in terms of internal traffic. Starting around June 11. 2026. Yesterday (June 16), itch had the outage that a lot of people reported. Once it came back up, my game dropped to pages 3-5 on every tag it used to rank on straight away.

From my side as a dev, it was good finally get a feedback. I was responding to all, fixing release, bugs, balance, adding requested features etc. 

Has anyone else noticed a ranking shift right after the outage? Is this expected, or just coincidental timing with the algorithm's normal activity decay and I am just overreacting? ^^

Thank you all for the help! 

Open System Settings → Privacy & Security. Scroll down. You should see a message saying the app was blocked. Click Open Anyway. Confirm by clicking Open.

This should help, as with the any unsigned as an official apple developer.

Very promising sim, I love space theme, how deep it is and detailed it is! Can't wait to play more and see the whole picture! 

known issue with Firefox browser. Chrome, Safari works just well

Not protected at all, therefore can meet consequences or discover different paths (planning main route, and 3 separated ones, mixing together in the end -_-)
Glad you found a way to blow the cash, though feels like world needs more ways to spend the cash ^^

Hey, wow thanks! Appreciate your words, means the world! Thanks for playing as well ^^ Planning to inprove adding the rest sound fx's soon -_-

Hey thank you so much, appreaciate!
Keep tuned, and welcome to our discord if you have any suggestions/bugs to share, worldbuilding thougts or balance ideas, like you mentioned with money

Also, game designed the way, that you have to keep rank above 2 for progressing main route, but eventually it will make it drop below 2 even after all quests are done. But yes, game needs a bit more interaction to spend money and have fun inside before rank slips down

You just need to spend a night at home with rank below 2, and dangerous work for money will be introduced. 

Hey, follow to our discord, lets investigate that https://discord.gg/nMMtsMaVjB

Also, I will check the interaction chain, although it’s a mini encounter for the world building and rank system better introduction 

hey, first of all thank you so much for playing, I greatly appreciate it. As well as your input, I will consider it. If, by any chance, you want to participate in improving the game - welcome to out discord. This is ongoing development, so anyone can actually help build the world and the story.

hey, thanks, that means the world! I am still testing it and knowing that the world feels interesting is great. 

I believe I updated the link (which one you say is not working btw?):

https://discord.gg/nMMtsMaVjB

Thank you! 
I will look forward to adding linux support, had requests on steam as well

wait till you see tier 5 access ^^

Thank you! That was the goal, and also make it atmospheric as much as possible hehe. Glad you liked it

Hey, welcome onboard! I will change the link, thanks for pointing it out! And thanks a lot for the support

hey thanks for diving in. I am thinking to rebalance rank a bit, seems like its probably too much downways. on the other hand MC is at this situation -_-

I clicked play not knowing what it is. I played it till the end.

It might not be obvious, but to have someone being open like you did in this game - is catastrophically rare. I feel like I've been allowed to know something so private and gentle, that it almost felt wrong. But it's not. 

It is so much to think about. Thank you for opening more of the world we are living in. I even think you changed me, I don't know yet how but in a good way. 

Hey, this is peak! The story and arts are amazing quality ^^

After your input I also rebalanced and made it a bit simplier, now in the worst scenario candy still can be anough. Before that - you should buy the hard stuff from bar -_-

I just lost to FishBot and went on a mission to win them back! I did and now I am happy -_-

Hey man, thank you so much! I can't describe how important to have such a generous support! Keeps fuel in the fire -_- 
Thank you!

Hey, glad you like the vibes! Actually, the demo goes much much far, the door is just a point where you face ranking system and it's unpleasant effect and surveillance -_-
Just consume some stimulants so scanner will let you in 

Man thank you for the support! It means the world! Full version release is scheduled to october, let's go

Thank you so much ^_^

Hey, hope you will solve your indexing issue very soon! 

Similar issue with my game, posted it around 10 days ago, brough some audience and even got purchase. Unfortunately, as I can see it is not indexed till now. 

I have checked guidelines and quality quidelines, but must be something I am missing. Hopefully will get an answer with the TICKET: 365519
