Hey, so after storm tells you to "close your eyes" for the last time, is the screen supposed to stay blank afterwards while all the sound effects play?
i've seen the true ending to this, and it gives me a...worrying thought. the protagonist survived, right?
just finished the game. it's a cool ass game!! ^_^
we see the number "433" twice within the game. i wonder if it has any significance at all?
This is such a good game !
What a cute game ! I love the ending, and I LOVE the references to Melissa/Morris/Date Time 😉
im IN LOVE with how cool ur games r
It's been a while since a game had me sitting in silence for 5 minutes at the end. Real punch to the gut when the pieces came together. Loved every second of the game.
Anyone know what "present" the alpaca is talking about or where it is
Look at the window in your home. (In-game.)
I don't see anything and the options for the bed and chair block my view
I think the button to hide those is the spacebar.
you seem to have the answers,so I ask,HOW DO I FIND MY WAY IN THE WOODS WHEN LOOKING FOR CONNIE?? :'D
If you get dialogue, you're going the right way.
(Unless there's something I'm missing. I only played, like, thrice.)
Really love the style and makes me want to check out your other games since they seem to be all connected! It was a bit depressing I will say but still a great story! Awesome job!
Hi FoShoShot! Thanks for playing my game.
I took a glance at your playthrough, it seems you bumped into a fatal error near the end of your playthrough that was met to a blank screen. I haven't seen the error at all in any testing or streams yet, and would be interested in learning more about how you got the error.
If you can, please send an email through this link: https://www.cattrigger.com/links
Describe to me your specs, OS, and what platform you played the game on and if there was anything weird that might've happened prior to that error.
me but i didnt have the power of imagination and friendship, loved the game tho i do wish there was a content warning about domestic violence since i have trauma related to it and i kinda relived it w this
Noted. Will adjust content warning. Thanks for bringing it up.
thanks, by the way other than what I mentioned I did love the game just like I love a lot of games by you, pls never stop having fun and creating things <3
Thank you, that means a lot!
This reminds me of the analog horror series 'angel hare.' Very interesting concept and story, and I could tell it was made by the Date Time devs. Funny that Anna just says 'no' if you ask to date her.
OMG I LOVE ANGEL HARE
Huh, interesting, I was able to unlock the “rat's hole” (something like that) and the code was “ANGELS”. Is this a coincidence, or it actually means something?
Why during the end titles it ends so abruptly? :(
Hi Skeleton Dude,
I have just seen a stream where the game cuts to black and soft locks after the scrolling credit sequence. Is this your error as well?
If so, please submit a report about what platform you played the game on, what you did that may have led to that error and also your computer specs so that I can further investigate the problem. Thank you!

Gave it a Let's Play, I figured after recording that there's more to this game and why the characters resemble that of Date Time - but since I didn't play Date Time, there's many nuances I likely didn't understand -
However, I did enjoy the writing and the dialogue/immersion was able to work, as, I felt sad for the main character which isn't easy to do, the Fathers dialogue/writing felt realistic/genuine enough to make me feel uncomfortable, rather than, dialogue feeling 'cheezy/corny', it was very believable. As a person who studied Psychology in University, it hit me hard.Made another video
Turn Monsters into Friends :)
Excellent Game!!!
Fantastic! Great work!
Made a video
That played with my emotions...
Amazingly executed game! I love it so much!
Very good game
Amazing Game! Loved Connie! I learned so much about FRIENDSHIP and IMAGINATION
This was so much fun! I'm a huge fan of the Date Time series (Dr. Brain was my prev favorite) and this is the best in series so far in my opinion! The story is so sweet but sad. SPOILERS: I managed to unlock all the achievements, but am unsure of what Anna meant when she said she left something in my home. Checked both the customizable in game one and the "real" 3D one and didn't see anything. If that's just some foreshadowing of what Anna will be like in the upcoming game, I'm excited, but I will have to come back and google around to see if I missed anything once this has been out for a bit longer. Seriously, think this one is going to stick with me for a while, especially the heartbreaking fake-out ending. Thanks so much for creating these games!
Another fantastic horror visual novel from CatTrigger. The story is always unexpected turn. Also, the secretAs in this game are easily miss to be found. But, I have got it and it made me surprise about hidden lore of D͕̣͓͙̲̪̝͇͈̬̰͈̬̜̲͋͆̒̋̊̄̉̀̍̃ͅA̝̗̱͔̳̝̤͎̠͙͚̘͉͊̏̀͆̒̑͒͊͆̿̐̆̎́̐̚T̠̯̙̰͈̤̟͍͉̬̊̀̓̉́͆̅͗̈̃̾ͅĂ̬̜̰̙̠͇̝͙̥̤̱͆̇͊̒̀̎͛̐̀ͅ T͓̳̙̱̟̜͓͖͉̘̀̓͐̍̐̃͋̅̽̀Ì͇͉̩͉̖͈̳̬̭̦͕̲͐̊̉̆̍̏̊͋͛M̥͕̤̟͎͉̥̣͔̯͙̩̬̖̭̘̄̔͗͛̅̒̎̃̈̓̽̅̂̚È̠̟̤̱̣̗̫͍̳̣͈̠̙͐̾͋͋̊͑͊̃̃̓̂͋ C̞̜͓̜̗͍̭͙̦͛̇͂̀̒͊̓̚O̫̤̠̜̭̲̠̖̥̒͒̀̌̔̀̈̄̃R͍̪̭͎̞̠̰̤̬̖̰̱̗̟̘̥͗̉̄͗̿̄̃̓̊P̦̞̳͉͚͔͈̠͍͉̦̮͖͓̠͒͒̊̌̈̄̆͋͊͌̓ͅO̳̰̬͇̠̫͖͉̩̣͇̬͑̀̀͐́̒̾͛̇̚̚R͚̲̩̪̙̯̪͔̩̜͕̋̋̈́̆̉͑̂̊̽̊ͅÃ̟͓͕͓͚̞͎̟̪̤͊͐̑̔̄̋͋̀̚ͅT͙̳̠͓̘̠̞̮́͆̇́̑̐̑̊̂̋̃̇̚I̮̭̫̤͈̜̯̝͕̬͇̪͉͔͗̊͐̽́̓̔̂̈̃̄͆̚Ọ̬̰̪̤͖̝͖̖͕̬͚͎̿̓̀̉͆͗̆̄̅̓̉̔Ǹ̪̜͇̗̬̝͖̞̱͍̝̭̯̗̪̅̐̄͐̓̔̀̒́̓̈́̂̇̃̚ͅ
Cattrigger at it again with another amazing game, I enjoyed this one and love the twist you put in it. I won't say much not to spoil it, but I will say wow you did a wonderful job. I hope you continue creating more games!
Maybe the lesson was the friends we made along the way....And the carburetors we borrowed.
