how do you get food delivered? whenever I try it it just says that there's no wi-fi. is there some way to take the phone somewhere else or turn the power back on?
Go to guest room, there you order delivery.
I can't scroll through the page below. Stuck on a page with "nothing happened". What to do?
Will you post images?
Of what, exactly? The gameplay? I don't think it's necessary to be honest.
It pops an error up when I click "but it's too late now"
That is fixed now.
Oops, sorry, I accidentally messed something up! Should be fixed now.
Well, even for now it feels great. Nice text and - my favourite - feeling of intrigue. I mean, I still feel that there is kind of myst about that Emily doesnt remember how she have got so fat, about her wierd hunger, about snacks in places where they shouldn't be, about hints of a not-so-distant sporting life, and about Jack likes fat Emily.
Now, about bugs and errors: 1) If you find the code before you eat food in the fridge, you wont be able to open the safe before you eat in the fridge. Why? Is that supposed to be like that?
And more, after you get the thing from it, it still will be locks and still Emily wont know what is there. Again, why?
2) Work jeans: as it mentioned before, if you interact with work jeans before eating in the kitchen, an error will appear.
3) Scales: if you interact with these after you eat in the pantry, there will be no text (same with the casket and socials all time), and when you click on the on "Back", error notification appears. And immediately after I step away from the scales, them same error appears. Nothing fatal thought.
4) Toilet in the same room: almost the same thing - interact with it after most of events — error appears.
5) The trigger for the third ending does not work immediately, but only after I left that room for the second time. It spoils the moment a bit.
And one more thing (I'm not sure if that's and bug or something): I've noticed that after eating some text changes, but not for always. For example, after you eat the pastries and come to living room you feel how stuffed your belly is, but after eating all snacks it disappears. Why?
Thats all I noticed, now questions: 1) Is there anything usefull in the garage? Technically, I could take containers to get to the cupboard or the attic. Or tools to fix a lawnmower (although I do not know what it may be needed for). Or find something in the cars.
2) Speaking of attic and cupboard, how can I reach them?
3) Endings: I get endings 1, 2, 4 and 5c. How can I get endings 3, 5a and 5b? Hints at least?
4) How can I get my order? I guess there has to be something that triggers it, what is it?
5) Why the hell there are THREE toilets?
P.S. I recommend you to post your game on Weight Gaming , you will probably find even more attention there. Plus it's possible to make safe spoilers there.
Ah, thank you! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the game and the writing, that's nice to hear :)
Alright so, let's get to business here: all those bugs you mentioned? GONE. I mean at least I think so, it's always hard to tell. But 1, 2, 3 and 4 were pretty straightforward, just missing lines of code and missing text, the safe should now be able to be opened and toilets won't send you to the shadow realm no more.
As for 5, no yeah, that's intended! I didn't want for the player to get stuck right away, I wanted to give people a chance to get out and search for more food beforehand. That way when they come back searching for more, it might seem as if that ending is just a natural consequence of Emily having eaten more. Does that make sense? I hope so.
The text does changes, and that's also very much intentional. You see, the game works by storing all the calories you obtain inside of a variable. That variable is then utilized to decide if the player has reached a stage of fullness or not. Some of the rooms or objects have some extra flavour text that will indeed only appear if you are on a certain stage. You can think of them as passing thoughts inside of Emily's mind.
(I should find a way to display the stages somewhere on the UI ! To be fair I don't even know if that's possible with Chapbook, I'll have to check on that.)
Let's have a lightning round for those last questions, my hands are getting tired (it's cold):
1. No, the garage doesn't have anything useful, other than a snack.
2. Likewise, you cannot reach the attic nor the cupboard. Yet!
3. 5a and 5b are basically the same as the others, you just got to try and go for them at a different stage of fullness. Ending 3 is tied to the order, you just got to be sure you're feeling full beforehand :)
4. Well, you got no internet, do you? At least in the living room you don't.
5. LMAOOO listen, alright so, hear me out, you can never be too sure, you got to have upwards of 3 toilets in every given home. I mean come on, 2 toilets? 1 tolets!!?? Big red flag. I myself have 5, just in case.
But ok, in all seriousness, thank you for all this feedback, it was actually really helpful! I do know about weight gaming, I should really make a post there, I just didn't want to get flooded with comments and feel forced to reply to every single one of them, I tend to check back on this project like every three days.
1. I mean stage textes: if I eat just food in friege, I have nothing. If I eat a Grummys (I hope I write it right) bar I have this: "Your belly is now hard to the touch..." . Not actually this, I just took a part. After I eat everything I could find (except for the order and snack in the garage, but later on it), it disappears. Also if I eat all snacks before the fridge than eat what it have, you have this text: "It’s getting harder to keep your belly tucked into your pajamas". Are these textes hints? Well, the first I mentioned IS a hint, I have found a Twix just now, lol.
The same question to the bold text with TV.
2. About the order: you dont get it, I have already ordered, I just cant have it. When I make an order, I have this: "Oh wait, they’ve already found one. That was quick! Well, it’s set then. All you need to do now is just wait for the timer to go off, and enjoy your meal." I seared for it everywhere, but nothing. As I guess from your hint, I need to eat everything except for food in the basement.
And here is the 3. problem - I cant find the snack from the garage.
4. "All those bugs you mentioned? GONE." Nope, still the scales. if you back off from them after stepping on, error appears.
5. Is that ok that after inspecting phone you cant take a sit on the couch?
6. You are right about ending 5, I was just have to do more than eat something.
1. No, not hints, although that could've been an interesting idea! And yes, they are indeed meant to appear and disappear seemingly at random.
2. Yep, no, that makes sense, my bad, I hadn't realized that variables were caps sensitive. Again, not a coder lmao. Ending 3 should be fixed now.
3. Alright, so basically I checked the code and you need the keys for the car. Where are they? Ironically, I have no clue, genuinely no recollection of where I put them or if I even did in the first place. I'll check for them when I have a little time on my hands.
4. Damnit, I was so close! Alright, fixed that as well.
5. Yep, normal! Was to lazy to write a different text.
for the food order flag, do all of them do something or only one out ,of the three does? and is there anything to do to get to the attic?
No, all orders will lead you the same ending! There's different text for all three choices though.
As it stands now, the attic simply isn't accessible.
Bug: The game really doesn't like it when you check the work pants before needing the key.
is there a key? i have never found one
Honestly? No idea, I've never found the key if it exists
how many endings are there, cause i can only find 3, the 1 2 and 5? and is there a way to get the basement food before you get too heavy and break the floor and trigger the ending
Tell you what, I actually lost count after a while! But a bug locked you out of finding out the fourth one - it should be fixed now.
could you tell me the bug for the blocked 4th ending so i may try and find it? also is it possible to go to the basement and get everything without triggering the ending by waking jake? since you can only get there after getting the phone, and the phone only appears after the pantry, and once you get the pantry you seem to always be too heavy and trigger the jake finding you in basement ending
also may i ask if it would be possible to get a sort of guide that tells you where and when to get things to go through the game? since i so often get either softlocked by the TV while looking for anything new (the TV tends to soft lock you either before you get the taco ad and after it)
Ah, good bug finding! There, that should be fixed now.
Also nah, I don't feel like writing a guide for the game, once again I have lost track of what's inside of it at this point so I'm not even sure I could be able to :)
Nope, it isn't possible to go to the basement, eat everything there and not obtain that ending, not yet.
It seems that there is a bug. Once you enter in the pantry you can not leave
I wasn't able to replicate it, friend! Thought it's quite possible you have not eaten all the food inside, which would then allow you to exit.
yeah that also happens a lot to me if you dont go straight from the start to kitchen then pantry, it just soft locks you in it
Ah, I think I got it, it should hopefully be fixed now!
