Penny-pincher sense is tingling - free game!

Kidding aside. I'll call it a winner. This particular mix of fun characters, horror interlaced with humor works well for me.

Also a genre that's new to me. Most of these games seems to be an excuse to ogle scantily clad manga ladies so my eyes sort of glazed over every time I heard "visual novel". Guess I've been overly prejudicial.

Jack Thompson was right all along.

I swore I should lay off the Kickstarters, but this one was too hard to resist...

The demo mostly works with Proton. There's a missing news headline so the final puzzle can't be solved without cheating.

Quoting: whizsecompile Mesa from git and the game is rendering correctly now

Can you test if the lens flares are gone as well? Use different AA settings at night with bloom enabled.

Here's the bug report for the lens flare issue with a couple of patches to try out:

Quoting: Liam DaweThat seems like a typical AMD Mesa issue with Unity, I had no problems with NVIDIA. art of rally had a similar issue, which is fixed in the very latest Mesa drivers. This is also a quick demo of an unfinished game that's still some ways off remember.

Update: tested on an Intel laptop (so Mesa) and not seeing that issue. So it seems it is AMD specific.

FWIW, I filed an issue with Mesa and was informed that it's a game/Unity bug. Uninitialized mipmap levels. Can be worked around by setting AMD_DEBUG=zerovram.

Game dev have been notified.

Quoting: rustybroomhandleYa know, fixing wine so that it can run games better is hot and all, but what's also sexy is companies fixing their games to work better with wine. Example: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1217060 [External Link]

That is good news. I don't really care if a game is native or not, if it's a "true" port or uses some sort of wrapper. What counts is support from the developer.

Not the same bug, but it is specific to Mesa.

That's still a problem with 20.3.0-devel.

I'll try to file a bug with Mesa when I have some time to spare.

Thanks guys!

I finally had time to compile Mesa from git and the game is rendering correctly now. The shader link errors disappeared too so I guess the problem really was insufficient shader buffers.

Quoting: linuxjacquesWhy does the Steam page say only "single player?"

I assume multiplayer / LAN is supported with this updated version?

The game seems to have no problem finding servers with active players.

(Of course I was too afraid to actually join any of those in case the players should turn out to be poor ghosts from 1999. Forever worrying about the upcoming Y2K... their only solace listening to When You Say Nothing At All by Ronan Keating over and over again...)
