I thought of there could be 2 endings:first easily enough players can push straight to scene 4, identifing the curse, meanwhile we can hardly garther all the files to know all the names as well as the previous searcher. This time may have players' "inbox" reciving a new text, asking if we're finishing the investigate. If we ends here, we knew the curse is of the "forgotten name", and we seal the case deep, notice all the reveleant don't try to remember the previous searcher or anyone dead, so the curse ends at me. The other one: we insist to garther all the file, and "unfortunately", we knew the previouse searcher's name. I could even imagine the final scene: "Computer shutting down......" "your heart's still beating for your seen the cursed ghost's name" "After a long time of slience you finally decide to go sleep"  

 "the audio file displays [1] turning around over and over again,seemingly he's suffering a terrible dream, and in the background, a distant thunder, is roaring"

accidentally got absorbed by the game when i was supposed to be sleeping.... great game tho-

Leaving a comment here right now so I don't forget to.

I've only just begun act 2, but so far, I'm blown away. Intelligent puzzle mechanics that aren't too complicated but feel amazing when solved (very hard to achieve but so satisfying when done right!). Something as simple as the naming scheme for files goes from a mystery to a key tool for solving.

As someone who has never played any of the games this is inspired by, this game makes me really want to try them. Cannot recommend this enough, and I cannot believe I get to play this for free.

Genuine 11/10.

Fantastic atmosphere and lots of great puzzles. The end seemed a little bit abrupt, though, in that some big things weren't answered.

Incredible. I'm not sure if you're aware William but this game was featured of sorts in a Eurogamer article highlighting developers' favourite games of the year. Expelled director Jon Ingold listed this as his favourite so I checked it out.

My only regret is that I did so a few hours before I had to go to work. I would've loved to just set aside an entire day going through this, it really deserves it. Were it not for Hades 2, this would've taken GOTY for me. Great job.

Just finished and it was a delight, though I needed a couple of hints for the last 3 files. Filling in all the blanks when I got to the end was definitely worth it for me as I'd missed some quite important stuff (the sex scene).

Forgot to leave a comment when I first played, so here it is. Phenomenal game. Such a masterful use of its limited medium. Had a wonderful time and many chills. I also second the other comment mentioning Who's Lila?

Spine-chillingly good. For those looking for more of this supernatural, multifaceted style of mystery, I would recommend Who's Lila?

This is my first time playing this sort of game (well, I did start Obra Dinn too). To be honest, I thought I wouldn't like it, but I'm actually totally hooked! Still discovering acts I and II, things are getting really tangled and I feel I need to know more and more!

I recommend taking notes in a piece of paper rather than in the game.

I had to bust out a google spreadsheet to keep track of everything, and it was wonderful. Even cracked all the secret files by myself, except for one. Last puzzle game to make me do this was Obra Dinn, so I would say mission accomplished on your end!

I loved every second of it. If anyone knows more games like this one please chuck them my way.

This game was SO GOOD. If you like mystery games don't hesitate and just play it

This game is a masterpiece. I might start reading some mystery books soon after this.

Incredible

Thanks for Korean tanslation. It's fun to connect events and uncover secrets.

Great game, I've now wishlisted the Steam version. Thanks for making it free, I wasn't sure I'd like this type of game but this was the perfect way to try out the genre. Really fun and interesting!

i didnt do the hangman thing til the end and that just added and extra layer of fun lmao. this was actually a great game, very cool

First time playing this kind of game and it definitely makes me want to continue playing some of the other games the creator mentions! Any plan for a mandarin Chinese translation update? I'd be happy to help!

I started this morning and spent my entire day playing. Incredible, I'm very glad I randomly decided to play this during October because it fit perfectly. I'm quite unsettled. This game is great

Thank you for this awesome game! Filling out the timeline piece by piece was such a satisfying experience. Figuring out bu bar-FG-gjryir made me feel like a genius.

I got briefly stuck on something another user in these comments also did; I think having guvegrra-GB-sbhe-fvk pbhag nf n ersrerapr sbe gjryir-GB-fvk would've been fair? But that was also just my personal carelessness in notetaking. ^^'

Now to get my friends into this...

Maybe this would have made things too easy, but I kept hoping I'd come across a command like "LABEL [filename] <text>" so that I could include my file synopses inside the game itself. Then again—I still would have needed my external notes for my character-specific timelines, so it's not like it would have saved me any effort. Phenomenal game, regardless!

I love this game so much and I love the scenes where nothings happening like O.B.A.G. is eating chips or E.D. is sleeping

Amazing game! Analog horror vibes!

This was a really good game. The pacing of the puzzle discovery was amazing. Just as soon as me and my friend figured out one piece of the puzzle or just about to get a piece of paper to make notes about people's names or label stuff, the new commands were shared with us. And moving from figuring out which files we're missing to figuring out the greater mystery was really fun. We are going to try out the other games that were inspirations and are really looking forward to the remaster on steam.

Toward the end, we were crying so also a very tragic story that we uncovered. Thanks for making this!

For those who have beaten Type Help and would like to re-explore or reexamine the entire game, I've made a video essay doing so. I hope there's something inside of it that can increase your appreciation for this amazing game!

Extremly good game, and extremly good helper
