Sadly, not a fan.

I found the elevator key and got to the top floor. What now?

Left and right are guards i can't get behind, and up is a storage room which is just for hiding?

[SariaSong]

How do you get past the guard on the ground floor hallway when you first enter the building? Seems impossible.

Alright, I published a small update with the bug from the screenshot fixed and I implemented a small hint system in the player menu. Doesn't make it any easier, but at least you get some help right in
the game without having to look through forum threads :-)

@SariaSong Thank you. I now realize that the limited save system is one of the main issues to look into. I'll see if I can find a weekend or two to mitigate the problem a bit.

For the first guard, get into position next to him against the wall and run past right when he turns to the side. Alternatively run to the potted plant and crouch behind there.

@sora666 Sorry to hear that.

@Shadolink There's two more entrances you can check next to the storage room. You should be able to get into one of them. If not, that's a bug.

Loved the game i am currently inside the basement tryna find the laundry and everything but some bugs i found are the if you exit the principle's office once and then go back again(before trying to extract the files) then you get a black screen and a dialogue in which the principle catches you. And if in the basement the guard finds you but you still manage to get away then whenever you place a stool the game won't progress further, other than that i loved the game one thing i suggest is offering a 'ghost mode' for the players that want things to be easier

Alright I struggled to figure this game out on my own but it seems like you're put into a no-win situation while escaping. Are the cameras just bugged or what? There's literally nowhere to go from what I can tell in the lobby, any direction gets you caught.

So I did eventually figure out the doctors office. I know how to do the Director's office but one missed step and I have to start all over. I appreciate what you are doing with this game and it's cool what you have done. But it is still very frustrating to play at times.

Thank you! Those are interesting ones.

I tried a few times but I can't reproduce the first bug. Did you get save prompts when going out and when going back in?

2: How did you manage to get away from the basement guard? Basically whenever the player is detected, going through any exits should be blocked. There's no such thing as getting away At least there shouldn't be. I assume you managed to still get transferred to the laundry room after unlocking the door in the basement and then the guard caught you, correct?

Interesting idea to implement a ghost cheatcode as a quickfix for a potential easy-mode.

Which camera exactly do you mean? Did you escape via the elevator or via the basement?

In either case there should've been an intro that shows you the camera's blind spots. You can get to those only while the camera points away from you.

However you can't escape straight through the front door. You'll have to take the long way around the top.

The last camera in the south-east (after the cutscene) truly has no weakness. As the character says, you'll have to make a run for it. To the only door you can go into - the bathroom.

If none of that helped, you probably did find a bug and I'd like to fix it. I just need a bit more information.

Via the elevator. Honestly didn't think the basement was even in this build until someone mentioned in a previous comment.

The camera in the lobby to the left of the front desk. Moving any direction, even under the cameras blindspot results in the alarm being sounded. I've seen the cameras moving occasionally but both cameras after it's mentioned by the MC don't move at all.

The stealth while a neat concept is frankly frustrating and too sensitive. Beating my head against a wall for several hours being conditioned that there is one 'Correct path' through every section and anything deviating from that at all is just a 'too bad so sad do it again' only to bump into what may be a bug is just, ugh. :/

So completed the game and loved it because it was so challenging loved the doctor spanking scene btw i loved how it got worser for Claire now i want to ask how to get the worst and the best ending i read it at the end of the game but playing all the frustrating parts seems like a hassle so can you implement a way for us too see all the endings or skip a sneak sequence in NG+ or something like that?
