Thanks for playing! Sorry for the bug in the fair scene, it´s something we fixed in the complete version but we forgot to update the demo. We will upload a patch now.
Thanks for the offer! The game presents custom hand made fonts for English and Spanish, and it will be difficult to create specific custom types for Turkish. We will study the possibility to port the game to other languages.
For now we are focusing on fixing some minor bugs to make the flow of the game as flawless possible. Not sure about adding more content to the game, since we wanted to provide a self contained, open to self interpretation plot. We think it´s better to develop a completely new experience with the lessons learned from this one. Maybe a sequel in the future? Time will tell...
Hey I'm the guy that did the stream just reporting the Hold M prompt stayed on the screen after the tutorial until I exited out, other than it's a 10/10 for its poop mechanics will stream again.
Thank you for playing! Sorry for the bugs of the version you played. Current version 1.1 solves the majority of them. We saw some other minor bugs during your gameplay that we are going to fix them right now.
For now we are not able to open a Steam developper account, this is something that we are going to do in the future. When we get the chance to publish on Steam, we will send keys to all the users that already purchased a copy on Itch.io.

Found a few bugs I want to report, game breaking'ish types, one or two of which was when trying to get to the cat in the vent with the chain on, clicking on the vent made it so the first dialogue would be seen but no further interaction could be had until I quit the game and rebooted it. Second time this happened I Sprayed acid at the vent to get into the large trippy room with the many doors -
I sprayed acid at the 'last dad', it was an 'around the corner of a prop' shot and it hit him, but didn't register, he didn't die but stayed moving and alive and I wasn't able to shoot at him again. I quit and rebooted the game from there. After launching the game again, I could shoot acid at the vents to get back in - but the Vents didn't fall off, so I was going to reboot and relaunch as I had before but then the game deleted my save completely. Unsure if its just random unluckiness, or that the game deletes your save if you quit while hanging on the ceiling.
I had 5 cockroaches and was close to the end, rip. That isn't to of course say I didn't enjoy the game, this happened on my 2nd playthrough trying to get to a 2nd ending, I had 5 cockroaches so it leads me to asking about Endings and Cockroaches and where I maybe missed one - or is there a 6th cockroach after the many-doors/dads scene? I got the 1st cockroach and 2 separate days where there were 2 cockroaches at the same time, the 2 when needing to get the crayolas above the door and the 2 when getting Momma rat, where's the 6th? I'm assuming Ending 2 is Escaping without killing dad, and Ending 3 is getting all 6 Cockroaches, but then what?
And thank you very much for this detailed bug report, very appreciated!
It seems that the game start failing in some points after first complete run. Some global variables are storing things that weren't expected and persist between games. We are working on it right now, and we will upload the patch asap.
For now, try entering in the Windows Regedit console and delete the content at \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Sepia Games\You are GROUNDED! It will set the game as a fresh start and might fix some of the issues you faced, but you will also lose all settings and progress. This quickfix doesn´t affect to get alternate endings.
And for the cockroaches, one hint: There is a tricky one before the scene you mentioned, but does not affect to the third ending.
If Cockroaches don't have an ending attached for finding them all, is there any changes to note for infact finding them all? Or just satisfaction for being a completionist?
We introduced cockroaches to guide the player through the platforming sections. For now they are just a number, but we are thinking about doing something special with them in futures updates.

Hey, I’ve seen the game on Youtube and loved it as a horror game enthusiast! If you want to, I can localize that game to Turkish.
Thanks for the offer! The game presents custom hand made fonts for English and Spanish, and it will be difficult to create specific custom types for Turkish. We will study the possibility to port the game to other languages.

Any more content-related updates (new endings, plot details, characters, locations etc)?

I really want to play this game on steam! Do you have a chance to log in to steam to publish？
For now we are not able to open a Steam developper account, this is something that we are going to do in the future. When we get the chance to publish on Steam, we will send keys to all the users that already purchased a copy on Itch.io.
That's really great! Steam has a bigger group of horror game fans! Believe that the game will sell more and better!
Part 1 is out! Before anything begins to truly happen, but good stuff, fun inspiration from older horror movies
Thanks for posting the gameplay! It was a blast! Waiting for part 2.
