The game is just great! I've played it a few times now and I totally love it!
Thank you for the kind words!
I like this game!I like roguelike games so I really enjoyed this game.The character selection interface is cool.Hope that I can see this game completed one day.
（Sorry for my poor English,which may make it difficult for you to read，but I have to leave a comment to tell you that how fun your game for me ）
Thank you for your feedback, I appreciate a lot that you find the game so fun(don't worry, your english is perfectly understandable!)
Had an absolute blast with this game, it has such a good feeling of tension and momentum once you get into it. Literally didn't put it down once I started playing until I finished! I'm excited to follow its development!!
(also i think the phrasing you're looking for on the skill Passive Smoking is Second-Hand Smoke)
Thank you very much for your feedback! I'm not a native english speaker, so there might be some translation errors, thanks for the report
Amazing game, i hope this game will get more update soon I reviewed this game a little. But it's in Thai. I hope it helps make this game even more popular.
Thanks for playing and for your video! I don't speak Thai but I appreciate a lot that you made a review
I really liked it! the only thing that didn't make much sense was the intro or "story", but well everything else I really enjoyed it! I end up finishing it! (or well getting the ending about "spoilers" the game not being finished)
Thanks for playing! I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the intro, I hope you'll appreciate it more in future updates!
awesome! I can't wait to try it again :D
The game is intended to be played in english?
I saw some enemies name change between languages so i was wondering
The enemy names are adapted across languages, but they have the same meaning! You can comfortably play it in english
the fact is that in italian the enemy named "holy spirit" is named "arso vivo" if i remember correctly, so i had the doubt
It's very strange, the enemy's name has been updated in english too and now it's called "Burned Alive"
okok, that was probably a old version, thanks anyways
How do I reset the game?
I've already tried deleting and redownloading the game, but the character selection keeps appearing.
You can delete the save file manually, it's located in "%localappdata%\NO_SKIN_ver02". The option to delete saves will be added in the next update
Do you have any plans on making a Wonderswan or LeapsterGS version? I think this game would be perfect for mobile
Do you have any plans on making a mobile version? I think this game would be perfect for mobile
Unfortunately, a mobile version is not in the plans at the moment! This game would fit perfectly on mobile but I'm a bit worried about the controls
great game cant wait for the 1.0 release , reminds me a bit of world of horror art style , love the mechnis as well its very well polished cant wait to see how you will improve upon it :)
Thanks a lot for the feedback. I hope the final version will meet your expectations!
This game is really good! The horror atmosphere can scared me sometimes, especially with the "unexpected event". I cannot wait for this game to be completed!
And one question, is there only 2 characters available for now?
Thanks for playing! Yes, currently there are only 2 playable characters
Really cool game, looking forward to new updates!
Amazing game! I beat the No-skin man!
SPOILERS!!!
Though I assume its less of an accomplishment considering I did it with Root. Hope to see more from this game! Also, that NoEye thing, I really dont like it! I'm saying it did its job well! I cant stand the thought of an eye being damaged for some reason, its really unsettling, and one of the 1% things that are "just messing with you" really freaked me out! Hope there isnt any actual thoughts of harm or anything, if there are, I hope everything gets better.
Thank you for your feedback and for completing everything the game has to offer so far! Everything you see only makes sense within the context of the game, nothing is going on in real life :)
More spoilers
Thank you for confirming! If you'd be willing to tell me, what were some points of inspiration for you and why/how did you start making this game? I only ask because all of the 1% stuff, while some of them were some good taunts and gaffs, I really felt like there was a certain vibe for a few. I say that though I only hit 1%'s a couple of times, maybe 4-6? I should really have a better memory but I remember the ones I liked a bunch! or disliked! The one in particular I really liked was the one where it felt like they were breaking the forth wall? and it was just all a dream? I dont know why but I really liked it for grounding and comedic effect it had. idk thats prob just me. For some reason your NoEye-Soft fight gave me vibes of "There is no game" mixed with "Simulacrum"? I feel like thats a poor comparison, but still! Lastly, is there any chance you'd like to challenge some of us to win the game a certain way or are there certain, long term secretes to unlock by buying or unlocking certain gifts or items? I still have to get 48 and the blooding mirror but is there anything thats less obvious or not directly told or hinted at?
The game is inspired by many roguelike and RPG genre games. To create it, I started from an old mockup that featured a photo in the background and a pixel art drawing in the foreground. Currently, the interactions are quite straightforward, but in the future, many "secret" interactions will be added ;)
hope to see it some day! have a good day and thanks for letting me know!
Tried the game and absolutely a piece of art ! Would love to see more background and maybe more environments to the game to make sure we're totally immerse in it. Interesting gameplay would love to see more from it you're in a good way !
Thank u for your feedback!
nice game,wait for more now
Thanks for playing, I hope you'll enjoy the new content!
littery one of my favorite games now :3
I saw you play it live! Glad you enjoyed it
Really enjoy the various events, the theming for each character, the rooms - super curious to see where the game goes next. Can't wait to see more lore, rooms, bosses, things of that nature. I'm soo curious about the lore and Goddess! The no skin man is very fun! I played to the end of the current content (I think), it was very fun!
The unexpected events are truly ... unexpected.
I'm always caught of guard when they happen.
I love everything about this game !! I'm excited for more updates ^
Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed the unexpected events!
Dude great job on this game. I REALLY enjoyed playing it. i just gotta ask, was the "Blooding mirror" Intentional? Seriously though, this game was a work of art.
Thank you so much for your feedback. Do you mean it's not very accurate? Unfortunately, my english isn't perfect, so there might be some errors here and there, haha
Yeah, the correct conjugation is "Bleeding mirror", but yeah, I totally understand if its not your first language, just wanted to give some feedback. And again, wonderful job on the game.
This was a nice game to play. You did a good job making the atmosphere very scary. 5/5
Thank you, I'm very pleased that you enjoyed the atmosphere of the game!
The game REALLY doesn`t like telling you anything and then laughing at you when you smash your forehead against the rakes developer set up.
For the sake of "not ruining your experience" i will not spoil everything, but just a fair warning - dont bother playing on easy difficulty, and be prepared that the dev has set up a casual filter (and a resource drain) right before the boss battle (which you can beat first time only with Dream`s luck and faith in that so called "goddess")
If you got bored with World of horror and wanna try something similar, but slightly different, you might like this game, but i found it somewhat frustrating, and dropped it after the forementioned casual filter (skill issue)
The game is not yet complete, I intended the "final boss" as an extra for those who want to continue playing a few more runs even after completing a run! I'm sorry you found it frustrating, I'll try to make things clearer in the next updates
the game is really good, had a fun time playing it. also I like all the art for the game. had only one problem, i like all of the locations but the game is kinda long and they get somewhat repetitive. i also found a bug: when emerging from another dimension #0 is at 1 hp and sacrifices 1 hp, he doesn't die and you get stuck. it was kinda annoying having to restart and lose all my progress.
btw what were some inspirations when creating NO-SKIN?
good luck in updating the game and I hope to see it on steam one day!
Hi Alex, thank you so much for your feedback. I'll address your questions in order:
thx for the info, didn't expect you to respond so soon. i have a bit more questions if that's ok
do you plan to release the game on steam in the future? if yes, do you have an estimated date? cause i would definitely buy it
is there like a discord server where i can interact with others, get news about the state of the game, report bugs and that kind of stuff?
what references/things do you draw inspiration from when creating the art for NO-SKIN?
thanks and I hope to see more updates soon!
That was really great, even though i don't know how i died xD . I like how it gets progressively more messed up as time goes on.
one thing i would say, if you plan on continuing to update it, is maybe combat music for different enemies.
Thank you for playing and for your feedback! You reached the end of the faith0 difficulty, there's nothing beyond that battle at that difficulty level
oh, ok
ciun ghiale
hello, i open the app and it says "fatal error" i can do something
If the fatal error is something like "Vertex Shader Compilation", you just need to install the Directx9 API!
Really nice game, good work !!
I've gone through ALL the content in this game... That was really awesome experience. Love the atmosphere and waiting for the new upd.
Pray to the Goddess ☽
I'm truly glad you've experienced all that the game has to offer, and thank you for your feedback. I hope the upcoming updates meet your expectations!
Me and my chums love to play and rate Itch horrors in our private tier list and MAN this made it to S tier. Seriously great work!! Looking forward to the finished product! :D
Thank you so much, I hope you'll enjoy the final product! :D
Thank you for your gameplay, I really appreciate that you went straight for the Faith 1 difficulty!
Fantastic stuff!! I'm a big fan of these types of games (such as Slay the Spire), so I had a great time with this one. Looking forward to the finished product!!!
Thank you so much! Sometimes I think of this game as a "roguelike deckbuilder but without the cards", so the comparison is fitting haha
Super excited to see this keep getting developed! I like the mysterious nature of the whole thing, and the strategy is very satisfying, especially in the new version
I'm glad you liked the update!
just saying that this game has a lot of potencial and i love the aesthetic and gameplay system, im in love with your game so pls keep doing a great job!
Thank you so much for your feedback, I'll do my best!
I just get a random unprompted non skippable crimson trio with 0% of escape. what can i do? kinda bs i had a few good runs
That's the end of the game at faith level 0. It's a fixed obstacle indicating the end (for now) and appears at 60% completion. If you've encountered it in other contexts, let me know; it could be a bug! At higher faith levels, however, there's more to come, but the cap on the skin retrieval percentage isn't yet 100%; the game is still in development!
oh okay. i look forward to completing the whole game soon but i wish that i knew how far i could get with some indication in-game!
I'm really sorry that this isn't clear. Thank you for sharing your feedback, I'll try to make it clearer that the battle is a "glorified cutscene" and that you can't go beyond that battle at faith level 0 in the next updates!
I would also like to see the modifiers my weapons currently have with certain relics and items. I see it with first blood, but i would like to see Knife : 2 (+1) if i have used nightshade and other statuses because without interactive inventory stats i have to do guesstimates for how much damage i will do.
You're right, there's still too much information that the player needs to remember in certain contexts. I'll gradually try to add all this info. Thanks for the suggestion about the extra damage!
sick game, please keep it up! i wanna see this as a fully developed product so bad :3 the vibes are perfect
Thank you so much for your feedback! I hope the final version meets your expectations.
Ohhhhhh how long is this game!!!
I got to 50% in about 20 minutes but you can technically go on forever if you just keep walking around the house I think. I’d say the full game is about 1 hour (if you’re taking your time)
Simple, fun and beautiful, I loved every second of it. Would recommend.
I really appreciate it, thank you for your feedback
Great game up until I got my ass whooped by the dev
<3
Nice this was really good game well done keep it up!
Thank u!
