I really enjoyed the style of the game. I like the story & I like how the atmosphere is captured. Despite nothing really coming for you, the haunting feeling and claustrophobic corridors of the hotel left me wanting more. A great ending as well which I honestly didn’t see coming. A must play!
Hi there, i have the same issue with the black screen and had kind of a similar one when working with certain post processing stack effects, don't know if it haves anything to do with this, but hope it helps.
That's it, the game looks awesome, i'll keep my hopes to be playing it soon
There is always a certain charm to PSX and N64 types of games when it some to graphics. But horror always seems to work no matter the square form everything has.
The environment is good. Creepy hotel with creepy guests. The music that is played on the radio is good. Fits together with the mood you wanna set in the game when you hear it.
Good story that gives you a lot of room to work with if you ever wanna make it a longer game. The only annoying part I found is that you have to wait for everybody to finish talking before you can move on. You sure stayed true to some PSX types of games there. :)
This game had a great narrative. I love the visual style as well. Great pacing with the story! Overall, one of the best games I've found here on itch.io! Here's my playthrough:
Interesting play that's for sure... Kinda missed the old school aesthetics of back-in-the-day horror games. Loved the piano soundtrack that played throughout the game! Just out of curiosity, what were they called?
Everything seemed fine until I pressed the button to play the game, I can't see anything but the text at the bottom of the screen. But I can hear my footsteps and the rest of the sounds.
Weird and eerie, loved it! The art style must've been my favorite thing of the game and also the story even though I was a little confused at times. Everything about this was just amazing, keep up the good work :D
I don't know if you've heard of Game Development World Championship before (gdwc2019) but it's a competition for indie game developers where they can submit their games and it's free! It's great if you want some more visibility for the game and it only takes a couple of minutes to join :)
This is weird as I'm getting people who can play the game no problem and then others who encounter this issue. I honestly have no idea. I'm going to have to check why this is happening and get back to you on it.
For now all I can recommend is closing it and starting again or maybe try play it in windowed mode. Sorry about this!
Hi, thanks for trying that out. I'm trying to get a fix done but I need to see the errors from the logs. If you could do me a huge favor I'd really appreciate it!
Would you mind going to your AppData folder on your C drive and going to a folder that would have been created called "doomed astronaut". There should then be a folder for Sanctified that should contain any output or error logs. If they are there could send them to me? I'm trying my best to get this thing fixed :)
Nick Cage jokes aside, I actually did see some parallels with the Wicker Man - intentional or not. The "thing" at the end that wasn't fully shown was pretty neat. I'm kind of glad it wasn't fully revealed and that there's a bit more to think about. The wealth of "Fathers" in this game was pretty confusing, but I guess it makes more sense as a theme than a single character. I did run in to a few issues like the sprint key freezing you while inside and also not being able to jump indoors (probably intentional). I understand the collectibles add a bit of gameplay but I feel like the search for them wasn't too interesting. Other than that it was a pretty nicely packed experience. Looking forward to more from you in the future!
It’s got a very silent hill/resident evil/alone in the dark vibe which I really loved. The story and atmosphere were awesome but the slowness of dialogue let it down just a little bit for me.
All in all it was a very injoyable experience and I'd love to see more of this.
for some reasont he key in the bathroom would only show pick up key like once or twice and i missed it both times because the game window is small by default and i couldnt see the text that much since i was looking for it but please dont make the game windows so small... lol
Well, that was a disturbing trip. I really like the sound design. hearing rain always makes me feel cozy Thanks for the game. Looking forward for more games!
So none of the graphics except for the text is popping up for me. I can hear myself walk around but again... I see nothing. Could it just be that computer is just trash? xD
is this happening in windowed mode or when you fullscreen the game?
Specs shouldn't be too much of an issue. Anything with 2GB Ram or higher with 2.5GHz processor should work. There shouldn't be an issue with most graphic cards.
it's a good start it had me really interested in the story but the ending was kinda meh for me was hoping something like super crazy was gonna happen it was more just like yeah I know I'm screwed lets get this over with but definitely not a bad game I did have one glitch though where I couldn't get off of notes I was reading with the right click and when I hit escape it restarted the whole game but other than that pretty solid game. My play through here: p.s. I'm still confused what the dog thing was that wasn't a dog.
Thanks for making a video I really appreciate it! The note thing isn't a bug, as I want players to take their time and take in what is in the Journal entries. But note taken, I may have to change it in the future.
Thanks again for checking it out!
Btw the whole "dog" thing? I'll leave that open for interpretation.

This game has a really cool way of feeling sinister all the way through.. Really well done 😀

yeah same im also getting a black screen as well.
Hi! I'm currently looking into this. That processing effects issue you had is ringing a bell. I'll have to check it out and come back to you!
Very interesting game that had me guessing from beginning to end! I really enjoyed it!

Really great game. Keep it up.
This was really interesting and creepy...

Wow thanks so much for the kind words :) Awesome video too :D
This game is pretty interesting and creepy.
Fullscreen does not work on my distro of Linux (Fedora Cinnamon). I'll have to come back to this game with my Windows PC sometime.
Very cool Cult game! Made a video, even though there's already a million lol.
В принципе неплохо, было пару багов... Но это же инди :)
Спасибо за старание ;)
SO MUCH NAKEY!
Thanks for the fun :D
Gave it a go...
Loved this game !!! Had so much fun playing, thanks!
Interesting play that's for sure... Kinda missed the old school aesthetics of back-in-the-day horror games. Loved the piano soundtrack that played throughout the game! Just out of curiosity, what were they called?
Thanks for playing! The music is a collection of works by Chopin in C minor :)
Played your game for my channel. The retro aesthetic was great! hope you enjoy my video
Everything seemed fine until I pressed the button to play the game, I can't see anything but the text at the bottom of the screen. But I can hear my footsteps and the rest of the sounds.
This is an ongoing issue that I'm trying to sort out. Sorry about that!
please fix it the game looks so cool and spooky its happening to me aswell do you know why?
Yea, same happening for m
Weird and eerie, loved it! The art style must've been my favorite thing of the game and also the story even though I was a little confused at times. Everything about this was just amazing, keep up the good work :D

If not though, that's cool with me.
Ah okay. Thanks so much for checking!

Atmospheric and very distrubling.

creepy game, i liked a lot :D ( Spanish Play-Through)
for some reasont he key in the bathroom would only show pick up key like once or twice and i missed it both times because the game window is small by default and i couldnt see the text that much since i was looking for it but please dont make the game windows so small... lol
Thanks for checking it out and making a video. You can use Alt + Enter to make it full screen.
I actually like it when games have a "make your own conclusion" story, this was pretty well done if a little dark.

This was a very cool game! It was very interesting!
Cool game. I didn't fully understand the story, but that's usually the case with me.
Well, that was a disturbing trip.
I really like the sound design. hearing rain always makes me feel cozy
Thanks for the game. Looking forward for more games!
The sound of rain is the best. Thanks for playing and taking the time to make a video :)
So none of the graphics except for the text is popping up for me. I can hear myself walk around but again... I see nothing. Could it just be that computer is just trash? xD
What are your pc's specs?
same problem here.. can you send the sys requirements/
is this happening in windowed mode or when you fullscreen the game?
Specs shouldn't be too much of an issue. Anything with 2GB Ram or higher with 2.5GHz processor should work. There shouldn't be an issue with most graphic cards.
I have the same problem too. Only white blurry text and black background. Switching to fullscreen doesn't fix it.
What are your specs?
mac release soon?? is fun
Yes! Very soon!
great lmk when, same for dd
Mac release is out!
I wouldn't recommend that you stay at this hotel.
So, i liked the story but was there supposed to be a lighter? (I was holding nothing.)
Removed the lighter to hit the deadline for the game jam. Thing kept bugging out. I'll need to update the screenshots to reflect this.
Thanks for playing!
This is a good story. I like every single on of it but there are so many things that I really hate. Nice story game.
Haha thanks so much for playing and making a video for the game!
it's a good start it had me really interested in the story but the ending was kinda meh for me was hoping something like super crazy was gonna happen it was more just like yeah I know I'm screwed lets get this over with but definitely not a bad game I did have one glitch though where I couldn't get off of notes I was reading with the right click and when I hit escape it restarted the whole game but other than that pretty solid game.
