I don't like how the new money system works, Sometimes I hate how I not must visit the satellites to get the hashes, because sometimes, even though I get the hash, and check it twice, I get it wrong, because of that I'm in debt now, and can't purchase more drives to continue. (And on a side note, I'm not sure whether this is a bug or my own stupidity that's causing me to lose money. but I always visit both satellites, and get the hashes on the report thing. but handing it in it says I got it wrong and heading back to it the hash has changed. is that why I'm losing money?)
Hey, i noticed that the reports are wrong sometimes when i sent them, but then i noticed something. Hashes sometimes have these letters which are similar, for example small 'l' and capital 'i' are almost identical. Also you might mistakenly write down 0 (zero) instead of letter O, or vice versa. Also i noticed that the number '1' looks like the letter 'l', so this is one more thing to look out for. I think the developer has to remove conflicting letters. For example, remove letter 'O' (as it is similar to zero) and remove capital letter i as well. So just be really careful when writing down reports and type letters in console in order to figure out the exact letter you are seeing on a hash.
Hey, I'm having some trouble getting past day 21. No matter what I do, I just randomly die with a frame of a red screen. I am not starving, I am not tired. Thanks for the help!
You most likely received a signal from a strange red object. When processed, it displays a unnerving red face of sorts, with the message implying the imminent end of things.
It didn't work. I checked the drive and played a tiny bit of the file to ensure that it was the right file. Then in the middle of downloading a file and checking the radar, the red 1 frame flash happened again and the death screen came up.
hey just thought of a suggestion for coffee as much as I love staying up for weeks without sleeping its op You could have a variable that's called "caffeine_effectiveness" and every time you use coffee (or the coffee chocolate) that number gets reduced and only increases (at the same rate) as your sleep when you sleep in a bed.
Hey, don't know why 2 people put minus to your post, but i completely agree. At least there would be sense to sleep a bit. But I rather would make coffee restore sleep a bit less overall and maybe decrease efficiency a bit only after 2-3 days of not sleeping. It seems more logical. Maybe even increase price a bit if you want it to not be that op.
Just go to sattelites from your task and type sv.hash in the console, then write down the sattelite name with the hash separated by singe space between them. Final result should look like this: lima abcdefg12 tango abcdefg12
I think this segment is still in development. You can try to explore the game in 'creative' mode (you can press V to fly in creative) and check out bunker and other stuff. But I think I had better kept that a secret for myself ;) Also you can't open bunker by turning off electricity
I like this game. It's fun and rather addicting. But I do have a few issues with it that I feel should be addressed:
1. Is the control scheme. The "Alt+E" is a bit strange for me, especially since it seems really unorthodox. I feel like just the "E" key should suffice as the use button, and Left Mouse Button be the "grab" button. I dunno. At current, most of the controls are okay, just feels odd to have "Alt+E" be the Use command when in most FPS games, it's just "E" key.
2. The crowbar, clipboard, and other seeming equip able. I feel like these could be made into Number Key items. Like 1 for clipboard, 2 for crowbar, etc. Or for the clipboard, just have a dedicated button for it when it is in your inventory like the "C" Key (instead of just...collapsing. I dunno what that does beyond just being funny.)
3. Rivers. Probably will change in a future update, but I got stuck in the river for a solid minute and a half, wasting precious time carrying my ride until eventually found an elevation I could get out of. Obviously, have it so you don't sink to the bottom.
Other issues I have at the moment are likely being worked on, but it was mostly controls that I felt like addressing. This game is fun and I'd rather it continue to be fun. I do apologize if these seem like nitpicks at best, but I did feel like these would make the experience just a bit easier. Anyway, that's enough out of me. Will look forward to the next update.
1. It is a bit awkward. However, the reason is because E also does something (e.g., for the ATV, ALT-E mounts it, but E allows you to pick it up and move it). With the inventory objects, it's because some can be both "actioned" and "equipped," so you need at least two commands anyway, if not three for ease of use (E, ALT-E, & E-ALT). Once I got used to it I didn't mind, cuz I'd rather be able to use a related set of key combos than have a mess of others to memorize or re-map.
2. Yup. I think that's in the works.
3. Same, new version (not yet released) has done something with the rivers.
I do think he said he was modifying the mouse scroll wheel command to change the grab distance for items you interact with, but I don't know if there's any change planned to the E/Alt stuff. I do know you can change your bindings in the settings, but you'll still be using some kind of combo.
really aweseome game so far. liked signal simulator and this is just that and more. Could you please add an option to hide the compass in the lower right corner? it doesnt really have a use and its kinda distracting :)
The compass actually serves a purpose. Entering sv.target "server name" will point the compass towards the server chosen (the servers are located in the satellites). It's an almost essential tool for playing the game.
It's also pretty useful even if you reset it to N/S alignment, cuz some things become easier to do in sequence if you don't have to keep targeting other dishes. After a while you get a pretty good idea of what stuff is "North" or "East" from other stuff.
I just stayed up until 6am playing this game. First time I've completely lost track of time since I was in college. Thank you so much for this experience!
You should see about adding a multiplayer as it looks and feels like its in the same engine as garrys mod so it should be pretty easy to implement and I imagine it would be extremely fun to play with friends :)
i played through the whole 24 day demo over the last 2 days and really really enjoyed the game! i dont know what the dev has planned for future updates, but if i may add some input, clean up the tutorial. i'm an absolute bimbo and didn't understand a single word of what was going on, i had to just mess around with the dials and buttons until i figured out on my own what i was supposed to do. instead of throwing a whole bunch of words at the player and hoping they stick, try teaching them in a way that makes them feel like they're figuring everything out for themselves.
once i figured out what was going on and i got in to the groove of the gameplay loop, i was completely sucked in and couldn't put the game down, but during that tutorial i was extremely close to putting the game down since i just didn't understand what i was meant to do.
again, i really really loved this game and i'm excited to follow the development and see where it goes! massive kudos to the dev for curating such a captivating experience!
Very big question, Is Satellite Checkup broken or what (or is that the same as reports) because I'm stuck on day 2 because I can't do satellite checkup at all even though I'm sending the full hash name of the satellites with the 3 drives and I keep getting emailed that the reports are missing (or something) and making me do it again, please I need help (I'm using version 0.4.1 because idk if downloading the newest would delete my data please answer that too thank you) (also addition, when I send my packages with the note of the hash on top they disappear) (also don't note the fact my sleep and food is low, Ik. I didn't have time to sleep trying to get the report and everything and I for sure DON'T wanna see the sleep paralysis demons (I almost had a panic attack seeing them for the 1st time without knowing they exist while sitting in the dark RIP)
I had the note containing the full hash of both satellites
just write them in order, the note vanishing is a visual bug and updating doesn't really break anything. Might wanna reset objects from the save menu so make sure to sell all the drives before doing that.
There's a thing under "Crumble/Tear Off" called "Template". You click on that and it'll give you the report sheet, names of the satellites and all. Just replace the XXXX with the hashes of the servers.
You can update the game and continue with that same save. When you update the game say from 4 to 5 when that update comes out, saves will be broken because of new content.
Would it be possible to make it so that we can push props while holding Shift and E? I like to move the tables around but it's currently extremely difficult to push them against the wall; I've had to resort to using the pallets to shove them around.
Every time I try to play this game, it sets all of my settings to 0 and doesn't start in full screen. This happened after I turned off my computer and opened the game again after booting up my computer, it worked completely fine before that. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the game, reset my settings back to default, but those both did nothing. Any help? (I'm on the latest patch, btw.)
realy cool game, cant wait for the full release, hopefully it will release on steam, one thing tho, if you have seen joel's streams and you probably know his thoughs, can you explain why this exists?
By the way... i dont know if this is intended, but i get constant game overs and there are a lot of them, the only consistant thing about this game overs, seems to be the "the end is near" signal, i got it on day one, and since then, theese game overs keep hapening
you have to delete all copies (drives & laptop) of that signal. And in versions earlier than 0.4.2e3, sometimes you'll still get the end game if you send the drive to Dr. Bao. If that save game is cursed, you'll want to start over
Hmmm, itch.io has no spoiler tags it seems. I guess I have to do it the youtube way. So to answer your question regarding the rifle, spoilers!
Or I don't know if it's really a spoiler. Anyways, some time ago I got a really morbid signal that made me panic so much I had to quit the game right there. The scientists that send you messages seemed to agree with me.
They told me that there's a gun and some ammo behind some crates in the garage, which I knew for some time already. Except so far in the game there seems to only be ammo there, no gun. My guess is that it will be added once the "wield" functionality is in the game, which I can't wait for because using crowbars is really awkward so far.
The email from them also mentioned to "protect the base at all costs".... Yeah, I'm too much of a scared little bitch to protect anything lol.
I got the living daylights scared out of me, 10/10. Also some of the wacky stuff I found (I aint gonna say where.) I also wrote a little diary entry about what happened before with colorful language, but even though I blurred out the foul language, I think it's too spoiler heavy to put here.
Is the reset button next to saves still broken? Or can i continue in the new update with just some things reset. if i can, which should i reset to keep my upgrades?
Small question, how many days are there in 0.4.1e2? I thought there were only 12 as I remember reading somewhere that, but I'm currently at day 15.
Just want to know before I upgrade to the newest version to make sure the game marks the story as complete and unlocks the sandbox mode. (I really want that teleport ability to explore some areas)
And here I already have enough of this game. D: You really nailed the atmosphere and spooky factor, especially since I can really only play it at night.
hello, does anyone know how to get the max upgrade cheat in the cheat menu ? it keep saying "illegal action", i rested objects and days/events and the game just nuked my save for some reason, this didn't happened when i update my game from the few last updates, i did a reset on objects and events and everything was fine, but not this time, i really don't want to grind to max the upgrading everything, it took me hours and hours to get everything maxed out.
The saves shouldn't be too corrupted if you switch version from d041 to d042 for example, it shouldn't corrupt anything. The one thing that can be broken are vents in d042e3 but its not too game breaking
Transition from d03 to d04 might break much more things and yeah it cant be fixed atm
I don't think the report system works in the test version because every time I go to a satellite (for example sierra) it wants me to go i type in sv.hash it says "cannot access to the satellite"

Despite being just a demo, this is one of the most unique and interesting video games I have ever played. I am so excited for future updates.
I don't like how the new money system works, Sometimes I hate how I not must visit the satellites to get the hashes, because sometimes, even though I get the hash, and check it twice, I get it wrong, because of that I'm in debt now, and can't purchase more drives to continue. (And on a side note, I'm not sure whether this is a bug or my own stupidity that's causing me to lose money. but I always visit both satellites, and get the hashes on the report thing. but handing it in it says I got it wrong and heading back to it the hash has changed. is that why I'm losing money?)
yeah, hashes are still buggy. you can disable the failed report penalties in settings>game>disable fees though
Hey, i noticed that the reports are wrong sometimes when i sent them, but then i noticed something. Hashes sometimes have these letters which are similar, for example small 'l' and capital 'i' are almost identical. Also you might mistakenly write down 0 (zero) instead of letter O, or vice versa.

Yes, that did happen, should I have not processed it?
delete the drives and signals from the laptop that contain it.
It was in a drive in a box that I was going to sell. Thanks for letting me know. I hope it works.
It didn't work. I checked the drive and played a tiny bit of the file to ensure that it was the right file. Then in the middle of downloading a file and checking the radar, the red 1 frame flash happened again and the death screen came up.
Update, I think playing the tiny bit of the file is what did it. Fine so far.
hey just thought of a suggestion for coffee
as much as I love staying up for weeks without sleeping its op
You could have a variable that's called "caffeine_effectiveness" and every time you use coffee (or the coffee chocolate) that number gets reduced and only increases (at the same rate) as your sleep when you sleep in a bed.
that way you have to sleep for coffee to work
Hey, don't know why 2 people put minus to your post, but i completely agree. At least there would be sense to sleep a bit. But I rather would make coffee restore sleep a bit less overall and maybe decrease efficiency a bit only after 2-3 days of not sleeping. It seems more logical. Maybe even increase price a bit if you want it to not be that op.
I've managed to set up cameras to where the usual radar entity pops around and oh gwad WHAT.
keep the good work up, awesome game!

Great game but how to do satellite reports?
Just go to sattelites from your task and type sv.hash in the console, then write down the sattelite name with the hash separated by singe space between them. Final result should look like this:
lima abcdefg12
tango abcdefg12
thank you so much
By the way, how can I open it?
No idea, there is no code for it
I think this segment is still in development. You can try to explore the game in 'creative' mode (you can press V to fly in creative) and check out bunker and other stuff. But I think I had better kept that a secret for myself ;) Also you can't open bunker by turning off electricity
i checked the bunker in the sandbox there are objects and even two mannequins
and even in the forest you can find a note containing the text: "if you hear music in the forest, run

WHY ARE THERE 34 ENTITIES AROUND ME
el duende army
I hate that I know what this means... fucking joel
Game constantly fades to black screen. Will work for a few moments, then blacks out. Is this playable?
u r hungry
TthhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhUEH (￣▽￣) hahahahahahahahaha
What is the radar for !?!??!. And what does it mean by ENTITES!?!?!?!?!??!. PS: I do know that the 1 entity is me but what are the other ones?
Go outside and find out :)
OH HALL NAW
it shows things like the ATV and mini drones and where they are, as well as beacon signals, so you can "find" them if you ran out of gas for example
THEY!?!?!?
The demo is cool but will this game in the final version have a multiplayer feature ?
You should see about adding a multiplayer as it looks and feels like its in the same engine as garrys mod so it should be pretty easy to implement and I imagine it would be extremely fun to play with friends :)

is the sandbox mode in the game?, and if it is how do i get it?
You unlock sandbox mode by surviving until day 25 in story mode.
sv.hash doesn't work. I write this command to the satellite console, but the code does not appear![]()
when that happens, just write the satelite name on the paper and leave it blank next to it
Very big question, Is Satellite Checkup broken or what (or is that the same as reports) because I'm stuck on day 2 because I can't do satellite checkup at all even though I'm sending the full hash name of the satellites with the 3 drives and I keep getting emailed that the reports are missing (or something) and making me do it again, please I need help (I'm using version 0.4.1 because idk if downloading the newest would delete my data please answer that too thank you) (also addition, when I send my packages with the note of the hash on top they disappear) (also don't note the fact my sleep and food is low, Ik.

just write them in order, the note vanishing is a visual bug and updating doesn't really break anything. Might wanna reset objects from the save menu so make sure to sell all the drives before doing that.
Structure the form like so:
bravo <hash>
charlie <hash>
Replace satellite names with whichever you need ofc
that's what i did
There's a thing under "Crumble/Tear Off" called "Template". You click on that and it'll give you the report sheet, names of the satellites and all. Just replace the XXXX with the hashes of the servers.
havent played in a bit nor updated soooo ye
0.4.1 reports are buggy. The new version fixes it
alright, i'll switch
You can update the game and continue with that same save. When you update the game say from 4 to 5 when that update comes out, saves will be broken because of new content.
thank
is the discord link broken?
Discord says i'm banned, across 2 accounts, despite only having had one on the server and not having them linked together.
Some bans are IP bans I think - all accounts associated with a device with a banned account would be banned as well
POV: you have no idea why you're banned
Well, if i did get banned i have no idea why, never posted anything against the rules what so ever.
Is there a way to unlock sandbox mode without getting to day 14 on story mode or is story mode the only way to get sandbox
Would it be possible to make it so that we can push props while holding Shift and E? I like to move the tables around but it's currently extremely difficult to push them against the wall; I've had to resort to using the pallets to shove them around.

spoiler ahead i guess
i realy hope not, that would ruin the atmosfere(? of the game imo
its in the game it at a satilite or just boot up creative and spawn them there are 3 ony one can be found
What a great demo! Loving it right now. Any chances for a future linux build? On the release atleast
I got the living daylights scared out of me, 10/10. Also some of the wacky stuff I found (I aint gonna say where.) I also wrote a little diary entry about what happened before with colorful language, but even though I blurred out the foul language, I think it's too spoiler heavy to put here.
Is the reset button next to saves still broken? Or can i continue in the new update with just some things reset. if i can, which should i reset to keep my upgrades?
My reports keep disappearing from the top of the box after I set them down to be taken by the drone. Also the fines really kneecap progress
A: this is purely visual glitch it not affects the report
B: you can disable fines in settings>game>disable fees
you’re the GOAT
Small question, how many days are there in 0.4.1e2?
I thought there were only 12 as I remember reading somewhere that, but I'm currently at day 15.
Just want to know before I upgrade to the newest version to make sure the game marks the story as complete and unlocks the sandbox mode. (I really want that teleport ability to explore some areas)
theres 24 days in total
Oh damn, it's quite lengthy for a demo!
And here I already have enough of this game. D:
You really nailed the atmosphere and spooky factor, especially since I can really only play it at night.
it's a awsome demo. i can't wait for the full game
Voices of the Void - S01E01 - Pilot Episode
Enjoy:
Hope this is Ok?..
the game is broken i pressing to change the frequency of the signal and it isint working
hello, does anyone know how to get the max upgrade cheat in the cheat menu ? it keep saying "illegal action", i rested objects and days/events and the game just nuked my save for some reason, this didn't happened when i update my game from the few last updates, i did a reset on objects and events and everything was fine, but not this time, i really don't want to grind to max the upgrading everything, it took me hours and hours to get everything maxed out.
cheats arent in the game yet
Currently cheats only work in sandbox mode and that only unlocks after you beat the game.
add a signal thats just warped audio of joe from family guy
HeY pEtEr
Do the events trigger the same in sandbox mode?
love this game... but saves becoming corrupted and broken is exhausting to deal with but im aware that it's not something you can really fix
The saves shouldn't be too corrupted if you switch version from d041 to d042 for example, it shouldn't corrupt anything. The one thing that can be broken are vents in d042e3 but its not too game breaking
Transition from d03 to d04 might break much more things and yeah it cant be fixed atm
This is already fantastic, but with the ability to play with two friends and more days; that would be exquisite.
I don't think the report system works in the test version because every time I go to a satellite (for example sierra) it wants me to go i type in sv.hash it says "cannot access to the satellite"
