When will there be translation into more languages? For me, English is a very big obstacle.
Hi there. I do hope to make more languages available in the near future. Working on getting good localisation support for this.
you have gmail?
Yup sure. You can reach me using the contact form here. https://dankennygames.com/contact
Hey what do I have to do to interact with the strange mailboxes? I feel they are important to obtain another ending, but I can't interact with them in any way. What am I missing?
Well spotted. You are indeed correct, they are key to another ending. My hint would be, not all items/interactions are visible to the player. Some are hidden. Pay close attention to the details in scenes and press E if you think you see something. Good luck! :-)
Ah, I see! Thank you, this is indeed the kind of hint I needed. One more question though: I opened a door using a wrench, in the "invisible" house between the crucifixes, but inside that room I found nothing. This is too strange to me, there MUST be something. Did I miss something right under my nose?
Oh good eye. Nothing that will alter an ending in that room. That was more of a touch of environmental storytelling with the inhabitants of the house trying to contain the growth that had taken hold of one of their own. As you can see so far, it hasn't exactly gone well for them. Really glad you've been exploring so much. Hope you're enjoying the game so far! :-)
Oh actually I finished it, but I got the bad ending I'm afraid! That's why I want to try to obtain something better now.
Oh excellent! There's three endings in total. The mailboxes each need a "Strange Invitation" specific to each. These are hidden in some scenes of the game that won't show a label to the player when next to them. Same can be said for the other hidden interactions that provide another ending. Happy hunting! :-)
Um hey your planning on putting your game on steam right?
Hey thanks for checking out the games page. Maybe in the future but just on Itchio for now. :-)
