What an incredible experience! The stunning visuals and gripping narrative kept me completely hooked from start to finish. Thank you for this masterpiece. Here is a Japanese gameplay:
Wow this game was so dark yet so good! I really liked how you conveyed a story with just imagery. I found myself hella scared throughout the game, especially when searching for the keys and the twist at the end was soo cool! Can't wait to see your future projects :)
Hello Carrthulhu, I tried to play Gore In Crayon on Steam, but it wouldn't open. I'd like to play a demo to show my friends and followers. I'm a content creator on Twitch and YouTube channels - joliver90 If you want to contact me, my email is: joliver.originals@gmail.com Thank you for your attention! Joliver
My Windows is 10 and my system is a basic one: 8 GB of RAM and a GT610. The game starts on the screen with the game controls, but when I press enter, the game closes the screen. I apologize for sending so many messages (on Facebook), but this unexpected problem with the game has made me very interested in the game Carrtchulhu.
The game is optimized for DX9 so you may have to change that in Steam, the app or the OS itself. Change it up for different DX compatibility versions and see if it changes anything.
Perhaps also change the OS compatibility for the game in the game folder. It may take a bit of trial and error.
Playing in the dark is gameplay-wise broken. The enemy is completely “silent” until it is noticed and starts chasing the player, which removes any chance to react or plan ahead. Avoiding such a character is practically impossible because there are no clear warning cues. There should be clear indicators – sound-based (footsteps, breathing, environmental reactions to the enemy’s presence) and visual cues such as visible footsteps or movement markers – so the player can realistically assess the threat instead of dying randomly.
I agree with you. It was an experimental design process which has its flaws.
SPOILERS:
>!The original idea was to have two states. A listen for enemy state (turn flashlight off before she appears) and a jump scare state when she camps outside a room (go into any room then turn your flashlight off which requires lightning reflexes to avoid her). It was a bit dry with just the footstep sound effects indicator and wanted to mix it up a little. Watching how people played the game I'll be more wary of the frustration this particular section of the game caused for future projects.!<
Thank you so much for your feedback and your attention to the gameplay. (Sorry if Spoiler text not working)
It was originally free but thought I'd put it on Steam. Costs money to put on Steam and I had to price match per Steams terms and conditions. On top of all that, I'm broke. Keep your eyes on my Itch page though! I have two free games to download (not as good though) and I'll have something else free up soon.
HELLO! I was wondering if a member of your development team would be available for a very short (even 5 mins if that’s all the you have) interview with me in the coming days talking about your new game and discussing how you got into game development and your thoughts on indie game development as a whole.
I am starting a new podcast called DELVE as a part of my university media development program and would love for you to appear on our pilot episode about the rise of indie game development in the last 15 years.
Truly a massive fan of your work and would be an honour to talk about it!
Please let me know on here or alternatively my email is chapmatt154@gmail.com
Apologies I thought it was a team, this is even more impressive! Im sure it would be a great interview but if your not comfortable with a call interview is there any chance you'd be willing to send voice messages in the response to written questions? This podcast will only be viewed by my university as it is a pilot, and I can remove your section for final upload if you'd prefer? Please let me know!
I load the game and everytime i press up and down my game freezes and my character wont respond to my inputs probably an internal issue or not anyway hoping you know how to fix this
This game was an artistic masterpiece in my eyes. I love it when horror game devs find creative ways of telling stories. I had a blast playing and I can't wait to play future projects :)
have note played yet but looking at this gives off heavy FAITH: the unholy trinity vibes. it's got the whole "less is more" thing going on and i'm a sucker for retro styled games. (p.s do i have am i allowed to make a video out of playing this?)

To anyone wondering about the chase music, its 1980s Horror track 4 by Chan Walrus on Bandcamp
100%. It's a great album.

哈哈!
This game is amazing, I’ve always wanted to make games like this.😁
Thank you! I hope you get to some day! I'd love to play it!
Thanks for playing!

Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for playing!
Hey there! I'd like to assist if I can.
Are you able to provide more detail on the exact issue?
What happens when you try to access the game on Steam?
What are your PC Specs?
What's your Windows OS?
The game is optimized for DX9 so you may have to change that in Steam, the app or the OS itself. Change it up for different DX compatibility versions and see if it changes anything.
Perhaps also change the OS compatibility for the game in the game folder. It may take a bit of trial and error.
I hope these suggestions assist.
No need to apologize! I'm absolutely honored you want to play and spread the blood and wax to your viewers! Hope my suggestion works.
such an awesome game!. love the style
Would love to have gore in crayon (and others) on a new platform I am representing . How can I contact you?
That's a good question I don't know as of yet. May have to create a dev email account. What's the platform you're working on
Love it! (Honestly it reminds of Clock Tower) It's a bit short but still pretty enjoyable, I hope we get to see more of your games!
Thank you so much! Keep you posted!
all i want of the ost is just the chase theme looped to be honest- like just a short 6 second music that's all???
Check out Chan Walrus on Bandcamp! Great musician. ❤️
yeah i learnt that the hard way when i tried to like crack the game for it's audio files, opposite of thanks to chatgpt :/

Hey there! I'm a solo Dev and I'm not sure if I'd be good to interview. Happy to answer written questions with written answers if that works?

I'll have to reluctantly decline at this point. Apologies I couldn't assist.
No worries! seriously amazing game and I hope you carry on smashing it! Let me know at chapmatt154gmai.com if you change your mind :)
Will do and thank you
Ayo! Loved the game, couldn't believe how scared I got from a pixel game. But you did horror the right way!
Thank you so much for playing!
I load the game and everytime i press up and down my game freezes and my character wont respond to my inputs probably an internal issue or not anyway hoping you know how to fix this
Hmmm... I want to assist if I can.
I noted the minimum specs for the game set as "Potato" which may need to be raised up.
I love Point and Click Puzzle/Horror/Thriller Games, and this one was no different :) Let me know when you drop your next game PLEASE!!!
Thanks for playing! Keep an eye on my Itch page!
Thanks so much for playing!
Thanks for playing and happy you enjoyed it!

Thanks for playing and thank you for adding more spurs to my boots!
Short but good horror game. Did a no death run for the game.
Thank you so much for playing!
Thanks for playing! Love your thumbnail.
haha thankyou i want you to make more games just like this i really appreciate it. brutal kills type. stay in contact the098struggler@gmail.com
Certainly! I'll keep in touch or watch this space.

Apologies, I do not. Might do something with my YouTube channel outside of privately binging horror films and brain rot.

Hey there! Thanks for considering playing and you are MORE than welcome to make a video out of it. Enjoy!
The game was amazing. I love atmosphere.
Thanking you!
Very good game
Thanking you for playing!
Danke for playing!
Thanks for playing!
creepy
Thanks for playing!
你好，刚才发现BUG，出入门的时候，会卡死游戏，人物原地不动，只能重头开始游戏
谢谢！我会调查一下。
由于游戏时长仅为 30 分钟，退出时所有进度都会丢失，但游戏不应该出现卡顿现象。
我是在开局 频繁出入门的时候会触发 X开门 ↑↓为出入门 有的时候可能 X和↑↓一起按了 就会卡死
看来我有好多工作要做了！😅 请继续提供测试样本！再次感谢您细致的测试。
