I dont often play itch games, but I didn't expect to find such a good and unique product. I love the game, the recent update that added small QoL improvements made me return to the game after not playing for a while and I "beat" it. the game is extremely fun and I will give my money happily once the full release is out. the game might have some balancing issues, like if you know what you're doing you can become extremely op, especially with the third character, but I love the details in the game. It's extremely fun and I cannot wait to see how the story will be handled in the full release. I figured that there is hidden lore in the game and the corrupted dialogue is probably decodable but Im too lazy to figure it out. I can't praise it enough. One issue I've had... it's too easy. there is a system that can lower the difficulty of a run and you should also be able to raise the difficulty and get more lunar shards in return or something. also, it is funny how the lunar shard counter stops updating after 99. although it would be neat to be able to see how much I have even though I have no use for them anymore... perhaps also add a system where you can procure upgrades that are only for the next one or few runs. probably not tho. anyway. love the game, can't wait for the full release, make the game have a harder mode, thx.
I made an account to post a comment on this, genuinely amazing game. I completed a full run where I was able to take out THE MAN WITH NO SKIN. Will most definitely do another run through with the unlocked character I got. 100% worth buying when it comes out as a full release.
I don't want to critizise or anything, but the new faces the way how they look now seems like a little bit odd, In my humble opinion I think that the character models before was better (referring before the Ver 0.5).
(Btw I really love this game and I've completed it to 100%, its an amazing piece of art)
Ive been playing this game for a total of 5 hours today. pls help ;-;
this atmosphere is something i havent felt before, like the combo the the realistic, desaturated pixelated backgrounds behind the vibrant cartoonish (using that word pretty lightly lol) characters with their own unique horror designs really makes this game into something special, this shit is fucking gas
also the frogs are my favorite, if the game ever gets big enough to do merch please let us buy the frogs :3
also also the little lore drops after each encounter with the no skin man is really rewarding
I've had SO much fun playing! the demo is already pretty big, can't imagine how big of a project the final game will be. looking forward to hearing more :)
Hey, love the demo, one of the most interesting projects I’ve played. I am wondering if there is a discord serveror something similar dedicated to the game.
I hope this message finds you well. My name is [omair], and I am very interested in joining your game development team. I have experience in coding with several languages, including Python, C++, and C# and your game is extranet well done with graphics and shaders, and I have worked with game engines such as LÖVE and Unity.
In addition to my programming skills, I also have experience in drawing 6/10 and have recently started learning music production using FL Studio, focusing on major and minor chords, among other aspects.
I am excited about the opportunity to contribute to your project and collaborate with your team. Please let me know if there are any available positions or if you need additional information from me.
Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to your response.
Super fun game, I love roguelikes so obviously I'm way into it. If I had only one suggestion, it would be to remove or lessen the screen flash when you are hit. If you play the game in a dark room it really starts to hurt your eyes.
Really amazing game, when playing it im always thinking "when is it gonna end, its just a demo it shouldnt be THAT long and complex" and its always making me wrong , love the atmosphere and concept mixing chance and strategies, there are already much really nice items and well thought
I won't lie, when I initially saw this game, I didn't think I'd like it... but this game is phenomenal. the encounters are unique, the atmosphere is unsettling the art is TO DIE FOR and the whole chance system is very unique. I feel like certain more difficult aspects will be expanded in the full release but honestly this game is perfect in my mind. defiantly one of my favorite indie horror titles
Ive played 5 hours of the game on Steam already, very excited for when it comes out fully, I will immediately buy! Very fun and very cool aesthetic, would recommend. (Found out from Markiplier)
Played it on steam, and I must say that this is already so fuckin cool. The style is awesome and the music is perfectly atmospheric, I can't wait to play the full game! Are you the one who made the OST, if so is there a place where I can buy it :3
Keep it up, it's going to be a great game I can feel it. It's super fun!
Not sure where to post the translation of the sister so im just gonna put it here for now "ZERE YOU ARE AT LAST LITTLE SISTER ARE YOV STILL COVINCEWT YOV ARE ME SUCZ A FAILURE WTOESNT WTESERVE TOLIVE WTIE YOUR JVST A PITIFUL COPY IM THE ORIGINOL"
Heres my translation replacing/adding letters as nesicary HERE YOU ARE AT LAST LITTLE SISTER ARE YOU STILL CONVINCED YOU ARE ME SUCH A FAILURE DOESNT DESERVE TO LIVE DIE YOUR JUST A PITIFUL COPY IM THE ORIGINAL
This story is defenitly going to be interesting wasnt expecting to need to translate stuff this early on(thank the moon i took pictures) keep on doing the moons work NoEye-Soft cant wait to see where it will go
This game is really really fun. Seems kinda easy to become omega OP though. I like the concept of some lady experiencing pychosis or something going around the house fuckin shit up lol. Probably could do with some more hidden events and whatnot, and a way to use the lunar shards during a run.
0/10 too much skin. Can't wait for more to come out as I'm pretty sure I've seen all there is to see at this point. Even so I might play some more because it's just that fun
Edit: Also perhaps having the same items in the inventory have (x) amount beside them instead of what it is now since item management can be a bit clunky atm, also cigs seem kinda useless the way they are atm unless there's some hidden purpose I'm not seeing like doing a second hand smoke kinda build or escaping specific fights to change the outcome of the story (pacifist run?)
I really enjoyed the game. At first, I didn't understand it but I had so much fun when I did! I hope the lore becomes easier to understand so that I can get more invested in it in the future!
This is the guy who glazed you before Markiplier did. I got some ideas for the game to make it a little better imo :
changing the chances for the encounters where they are in a random range like 20-25% rather then a fixed chance.
a way to spend lunar shards after you buy all the upgrades. Maybe like a gatcha spending system similar to throwing a coin into a fountain except you're throwing lunar shards at a moon.
changeable keybinds
dodge-able attacks or ways to block attacks
different enemy attack patterns like multi-hit and the possibility to attack before you (I got terrible memory so i don't remember if this is in the game or not)
a speedrun mode to make certain animations move faster or skip repetitive scenes
maybe something changing in the story if you kill lot of characters or play passively (yes I'm stealing this from undertale)
Minca sto gioco spacca, m'ha preso in meno di 5 minuti di run. Sto alla 5 run e, per quanto diventi ripetitivo in quanto roguelike, non mi sono ancora annoiato un momento. Bellissimo lavoro!
A very nice turn based game, I enjoyed it! I got immersed in the story, more so than I should've! Good style and music choices as well! Here's my take on it. Enjoy!
It's me again the guy who asked about how to get the luna entry since there was no wiki. i figured it out thanks to a random youtube comment saying they got negative chance to find the skin and so i tried that and then i tried going past 100% and it all worked out in the end. all entries done and i got your credit scene. also i'm just gonna say this when in the fight against you using speak on you and having to translate the binary was by far the most painful time of my life. it was SO MUCH binary! Love the game and can't wait for the next update. You got something special here so stick to it
just to emphasize how special this game is. I hate rogue lites. I don't play any of them except like balatro yet the second i saw your game and the second i tried it i knew it was something special. the music the atmosphere the gameplay and how easy it is to just play a run and have it mean a lot since and not take to much time sinces runs take maybe 20 minutes in the current state. wonderful game and i'm definitely buying it day one regardless
I played this on Steam but had to come here and kick some money your way. Wow. Killer demo. I haven't been this excited for an indie game in a while. RPG? Awesome. Sprawling dialogue and Lore that rewards curiosity and grit? Awesome, awesome! I'm hunting for everything I can find in the game, even though I know it's not done. Can't wait!
this game gives me Undertale vibes and I really enjoy it. I really like roguelikes and this is a cool horror spin and would I cant wait to see further updates with this game
Love the art style, the backgrounds are particularly terrifying.
Searching through all the memory with difficulty and weirdness gradually going up was really interesting. For the last ones, you even need to think about specific strategies in order to get them.
One (very minor) problem I noted: (spoiler alert!) the two-headed skull horse doesn't "see" you've recruited the fossil, and still gives you clues about it. Also, Boss Luna doesn't seem to make a difference between Noire (or Luna) and Root in her coded message. Overall, maybe a little bit more adaptativity in dialogs could make the game a bit more immersive. But really, this isn't very important, and the game is great.
My goal is to make the dialogues as adaptive as possible, in fact in the next update, Luna will differentiate between Root and Noire. Thanks for the suggestion about the skull horse
Awesome demo! Probably my favorite game in years even though it's not even fully released. For ideas to expand on the game, I'd find it interesting for characters like Noire from a previous timeline or other characters from different timelines to have unique dialogue based on if you won against them, lost against them, ran away or begged for forgiveness on the last encounter. Also I feel like playing as Noire compared to Root is very bland, since Roothas way more unique/interesting gameplay. Again awesome game/concept, very hyped to see where this is going
More things: Luna feels way stronger than the other two, and the "first attack deals 1 more damage (cumultative)" buff doesn't work together with the "emergency dagger" buff from the frogs in the first area. I don't know if that is intended or not.
Thank you for your feedback! Luna is designed to be op, and it's intentional that the first extra damage isn't inflicted if the attack misses (but this might change in the future). Regarding the dialogues, yes, there will be many more interactions in the future
Just finished the demo :D SOSOSOOO FUN !! I can't wait to see what you have in store for the full release :) the little easter egg fight if you get too far collecting the skin was so silly
Demo is AWESOME, I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! Definetly buying it when it comes out. Great RogueLike (it probably isn't a RogueLite, becuase the character doesn't upgrade in any way after death; even if unlocks new stuff; and the game is built on a turn-based mechanic). :D
Some couple game concepts I feel could be implemented, because I like this little game: (ENTIRELY OPTIONAL)
A mechanic where when and how you die can affect your next run, say getting stabbed to death means an extra fragment found when hurt, attacking may give a pill if you died to the members of the cult.
maybe repeatedly attacking the same enemy may yield a unique variation of the same fight.
Perhaps a new status effect or two.
These are my opinions, and it's alright if they are not integrated. Still a cool game, 9/10

First of all, thank you for your feedback! The difficulty is too low right now for two reasons:
The final game will definitely be much harder! (And it'll be possible to play at different difficulty levels)
Luna boss crashed as soon as it started in the new version :(
Was playing as Root if that's relevant...
Sorry about that! The bug has been fixed, you just need to re-download the game (and yes, it happens if you use Root)
I made an account to post a comment on this, genuinely amazing game. I completed a full run where I was able to take out THE MAN WITH NO SKIN. Will most definitely do another run through with the unlocked character I got. 100% worth buying when it comes out as a full release.

I second this
third it
Yeah I agree, I love the new drawings but the old ones were more dream-like and the lesser details gave the game a more uncanny atmosphere
I'm sorry to hear that, but it's totally understandable
Ive been playing this game for a total of 5 hours today. pls help ;-;
this atmosphere is something i havent felt before, like the combo the the realistic, desaturated pixelated backgrounds behind the vibrant cartoonish (using that word pretty lightly lol) characters with their own unique horror designs really makes this game into something special, this shit is fucking gas
also the frogs are my favorite, if the game ever gets big enough to do merch please let us buy the frogs :3
also also the little lore drops after each encounter with the no skin man is really rewarding
wow... solo wow, grandissimo, non mi aspettavo una qualità del genere girando a casaccio, davvero complimenti
Grazie mille Jack :)
I've had SO much fun playing! the demo is already pretty big, can't imagine how big of a project the final game will be. looking forward to hearing more :)
Will there be an android version?
Probably not, I think the controls would be really uncomfortable
Ok 😭
So easy to learn and hard to pass game. Im so waiting for releasy). Demo is big, one second i think this game have ending.
But no skin man meet me in 3 location
I LOVE THAT GAME SO FKN' MUCH!!!! LOOKIN FORWARD FOR UPDATES :3
Thank you, updates are coming soon :)
Best game ever
<3
I am insanely excited as to if this game gets a full release, I love it so much :3 very good job
Thank you! I hope the final game will meet your expectations
Hey, love the demo, one of the most interesting projects I’ve played. I am wondering if there is a discord serveror something similar dedicated to the game.
No official discord, but there're a bunch of fanmade ones
do you know where I can find them. Also will there be an official one at some point?
Genuinely the greatest game I've played on Itch.
<3
really awesome game, hoping it can be played on the switch one of these days :,3
I hope that too!

Thanks for playing! An option to remove the flashing lights will be added soon :)
Amazing! Thank you!

Keep it up, it's going to be a great game I can feel it. It's super fun!
The OST right now ofc isn't definitive or complete, which is why it hasn't been released yet
This was the best demo that i ever played before, too long. I thought it was a complete game. i can't wait to see the full game
I am enjoying your game a lot! Thank you for making it, I'm so glad I found it! :D
Thank you :D
Spoilers ahead

I have a question, is it possible to somehow transfer safe files from laptop to PC?
Yes! You just have to go to "c:\users\user\AppData\Local" and copy the file named "NO_SKIN_ver04"
Thanks! That worked. :)
