I don't know if it is intended, but i get no results when typing Palanice or 'Palanice'

I must say I enjoyed this game greatly. The story was well told, and the for the most part the game worked well.

A word of warning to future players, though: the first email you receive contains an important typo. I had to dig around on the git repo to figure it out. For anyone stuck on that part it's 'Palenice', not 'Palanice'.

@tongueenvy Thanks! I fixed that typo.

kszaku 2019-10-09 06:28

@manyqaz I fixed that already

Great immersion and the retro aspect of the game is cool!

The game does not open on my PC even after I installed latest .NET runtime. When I open the game .exe file it just opens a command prompt window and closes it the same instant.

kszaku 2019-10-12 11:25

@monish-vyas Are you sure, that you installed .NET Core (it won't run with regular .NET runtime, must be Core, I'm afraid) runtime? Also, Could you run the game from command line? Thanks.

monish-vyas 2019-10-12 13:17

@kszaku installed .NET Core also, same issue.Capture.JPG

@monish-vyas thanks for reply. Google search for your issue pointed me here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50644730/failed-to-load-the-hostfxr-dll-after-install-net-core Is there any chance, that you are on Windows 7?

Cool retro game with a good stroryline. I must say I enjoyed this game greatly. Hard coded - you deserve our respect ++

monish-vyas 2019-10-13 04:19

kszaku 2019-10-13 12:00

Really cool using raw .Net Core to make your game in console itself, Kudos... Just one issue coping stuff to google translate felt a bit annoying, maybe u could add some minigame to translate stuff in the game itself.

Good Job, Keep it up!!!

I loved playing this game. The story is really intriguing. The only thing that was a bit disturbing was the polish texts, as you have to translate them. But it also added an extra level of this "I'm not supposed to be here" feeling. which really added to the mood. I did not make it all the way through yet, but I will make sure to complete it later. I love this type of games (text based, console). Good Job!

Very moody and interesting story. Not sure about the ending. Is the red screen with aliens is a loosed game?

kszaku 2019-10-17 18:10

@stark it is the only ending ;)

gord10ahmet 2019-10-17 21:59

Is there a translation tool inside the game, or should we copy+paste to Google Translate? I had to leave the game, because the game didn't allow me to easily copy texts from the console (I use Win 7).

noobexception 2019-10-20 12:09

Great game! Fortunately I'm Polish so there was no trouble at all with understanding everything :smile: I love the idea to make a game that is a terminal :smiley:

kszaku 2019-10-20 17:14

@gord10ahmet sadly, I haven't implemented one... At least yet.

madbarron 2019-10-21 03:42

Great game! It was very immersive, and getting those emails was so spooky! Having to do the translations kinda made it feel like I was doing real detective work, haha! It would be cool if it could be expanded to have multiple endings to give the user some more choice, but this was well done for a jam :)

so great.i like the old dos command system and the story.
