Thank you so much for the positive review! The game does tend to get darker on low and medium lighting settings, as light bouncing gets disabled, but I understand that some people want higher performance! A gamma slider is actually a neat idea, I can definitely add that! It will be included in the new update, which will hopefully come out in about a month, depending on how much time off work I’ll have. Thank you for the suggestion!
Heya! You should NOT turn off the power for Bella, but rather just the light in the testing room, say her name, and she should react! Thank you for your positive outlook on the game <3
Bella spoiler
If you still cannot get past her, just check the name call test with a red checkmark (and temperature).
We are thinking of transferring the game on steam (while keeping it updated on itch.io, as it will stay free to play, even on steam), and that comes along with the endless mode update, wich I plan on making sooner than I thought. Once the update will come out, I will very likely release the game on steam. Thank you for the recommendation!
Wow, those are some seriously inspiring words, I am beyond happy that you found our game so entertaining, and I promise that I'll keep the entertainment of our titles going up and up. I am really glad that you enjoyed the lore, it is certainly my personal favourite branch of game development! Although Play Things won't have a direct sequel, the story has some obvious loose ends that will soon be answered (While simultaneously more loose ends will be created :P)
Thank you once again for such a positive review of our title, it really does bring me joy and the inspiration to keep creating! ❤️
Haha! It is really interesting to see how people react and deal with the situation. Pretty much 4/5 of people agree with you (including me) but there are some that do actually say murder is too far! I think it's an interesting thing to think about, hence putting such a dark matter in the game. It's a sorta "Putting justice into our own hand" kinda situation
Hey! Thank you for the positive review, but I must say that this game has no updates planned, I sorta dislike it, as I find it not reaching the level of quality I want our projects to have, so I'd deem it "dead". But, there may be a remake at some point, before then, Play Things is going to get a content update and new horror titles will be out!
Heya! Thank you for such constructive criticism! I hope that you did not play the game "again," from the begining as you can load and just fix the problems but I think that is what you mean by the "Replay" feature. But if you had a long time reaching the 2nd ending, it likely means that you made tons of errors in your testing procedure. I totally agree that the game has a very linear enjoyment, and the 2nd time playing is not as fun as the first (hopefully that will not be the case in the upcoming endless mode :P). Thank you for the compliment about the 3rd and 4th endings. It is true that you have to complete the challenge twice, which again, loses its magic, and all you really get is extra lore indeed. I might actually add a "Chapter" option so that people can skip some already seen game sections if they want to see other endings, to make it less tedious! And ok, you know what, the last pic does kinda spoil somethin' :D good call, I'mma remove that one, thank you!
Again, thank you for the valid criticism. I am sorry that (assuming) reaching the second ending was taking a long time for you. I would recommend checking the report section after every doll to immediately see if you are doing everything correctly, as if you make a lot of mistakes, you just repeat sections you have already seen as a sorta punishment. But still, thank you for the criticism and for seemingly reaching all endings, even though it was painful for you :D!
Wow, I can't express just how much does means to me. It brings tears to my eyes man, thank you so much!! After the endings, there is nothing more to do in the game, until the Endless mode comes out (with it comes along achievements, too!). Thank you once again for such inspiring words, that really gives me what I need to have the energy to continue making experiences like this! I'll be sure to put a lot of effort for the upcoming "Endless mode" update. I salute you!
That is certainly a valid point, Mr. Bunbun was thrown in the middle of some more intense dolls, while being pretty silly by his lonesome. And while I have a good reason for that lore wise, gameplay wise it does make it pretty linear. I believe that this will not be an issue in the endless mode, once that will be out, as that will have two modes, in one mode, it will be completely random as to what doll you get after another, so you'll very likely won't expect the result, however, the thing you pointed out, given that you have aperently read the results (Wich I also want to thank you for :P), the truth about the dolls in their story is hard to do in a random algorithm, but we will try our hardest anyhow! Thank you so much for your valid criticism and an overall severely positive review! Melts my heart every gosh darn time! And congratulations for reaching the True ending!
Thank you! Petangames made an awesome vid about it, and in a unknown side, he actually wrote an email to a friend of mine (Pablo, the tester), regarding the game, he gave us valid criticism, that we have applied on the very next update and he offered himself as a voice actor for an upcoming title! Thank you again for such kind words <3
Wow, that is quite the dedication! Thank you! When it comes to steam, we DO think of a free steam release, but that is when this game will get a big update, that will most notably add the endless mode! When it comes to different localization for the game other then english and czech, it is quite difficult, as those are the only two languages I know fluently, any other will have to be artificially translated and I just don't think that the AI or Google Translated result would be as fluent, or heck, maybe they'd even change the context, wich as a writer is very important to me. It is not really that DIFFICULT to add the language google translated, so I might do that, with the reminder that it might have errors in the sentence structure, so hey, I will look into it! Until then though, we are working on new titles, that will hopefuly be out soon! Thank you again for playing and congratz for getting all 4 endings!
It has dropped greatly recently, but I never expected it to go as high as ot did anyway :P, I think that it dropped when I released a bugged version for 10 hours, so that is on me. Anyhow, thank you so much for your lovely words <3, I do hope that the game has not reached it's peak yet, but guess only time will tell! Till then, this game is certainly not our last, and we will do whatever we can to bring quality to the table with our titles for you fellow gamers who deserve it so much for being such great people!
That is very lovely to hear! It's so nice to see so many people actually resonating with some of the dolls! When it comes to Tina, it is very interesting to see so many people have their different opinions on such dark, but unfortunately real matters, but I have to say personally, I have to agree, go Tina!
Thank you so much!! You can turn on your flashlight and place it in a convenient spot to on the ground to make a makeshift spotlight, this will certainly help you work in the environment and it will be visible, if the power goes out! Additionally, if you are playing on the lowest graphical setting, try setting it at least one level higher, as the lowest settings disabled light bouncing, making everything rather dark! But thank you once again!
Ah, yes, the second bug has been fixed, that has been a real gut-punch and I am very sorry for the ruined experience, however, the picture test not letting you mark a result is pretty strange. Here's a step by step guide on how to do the photo test:
If it does not let you mark the photograph test after step 2, then I have no idea what is causing that, as it did not happen during testing, or to any other person (that I know of). Still, I will be sure to look into it.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I would love to add more localazation in the game, but I (The dev) really only know two, English and Czech. I'd have to Google translate any other language, wich doesn't feel ideal. I might look into it at some point, and have someone rate the Google translators work on longer sentences in dialogues and the UI, but until then, Burning Eye titles will be primarily in English and very possibly czech. Thank you once again for such kind words <3
Wow, thank you so much, I don't know what to say, your comment has almost brought me to tears. I am honored that you and your chat enjoyed our game, and feel absolutely free to post your twitch in the comments, I'd love to check it out, I won't see it as an ad at all, you are VERY sincere. And it is very nice to hear that you haven't encountered a bug during your playthrough! Thank you so so much, you are such a lovely person <3!
Guys, I messed up. 1.2.7.1 had a game breaking bug that was present through out the whole game. I made the update at midnight and went to bed, only to find out about the bug in the morning the next day. 208 people downloaded this version, and I would like to apologise greatly for this. It is my own fault for missing such an obvious bug, it's tearing me inside so badly.. I am so sorry. On the other hand, the people who encoutered this bug, still supported the game. People found a way to get around the bug, wich is amazing and thank you for the rising support for this game! Outside of making a big update for this game (adding the endless mode), We mainly plan to make completly new titles, some are coming really soon! So again, thank you so much, it means absolutely everything to me. You guys are legends!
I'm sorry to hear that your experience was not ideal. May you please share some of the bugs you encountered? One of the most noticeable bugs was fixed in 1.2.7, which was released today. Can you please share the bugs you experienced and also tell me the version that they happened on, so that I can fix them?
