there is maybe a bug i encountered on day two when you go to school, the phone screen is transparent/blank, not sure if it's something i did perhaps, and maybe i just confused the names of Tori's friends but when i chose Julian, Kristine(?) came up :( Great game though!
The phone screen appears when i tested it but i found the issue of Kristine coming up when you chose Julian and just uploaded a fixed version of the game!
Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and to try my game <3
I found this problem after I played for 2-3 minutes. I’m not sure if it’s just me. It happens right when you turn on your PC, press the down arrow key, and select the “Stay Home” option.
When you press it, it will look like the image below.
The version I play is Window but it seems like there is a MAC file with it. The file name is __MACOSX. Normally, this file shouldn’t be in the Window version.
Thanks for commenting about it! I'll export the game file again and see if i can find the problem to fix it!
I've found the issue with the file name of the character that is meant to appear, i'll be uploading a fixed version of the game file this afternoon! Thanks for letting me know, also the macosx file shouldn't cause any issues and is likely just there because i use mac to zip the game files.
