So first OF ALL - i ADORE THE ART!! KUDOS TO THE ARTIST ON ALL OF THIS.
aS WELL AS YOUR VOICE ACTORS - THEY WERE ALL A LOT OF FUN, DESPITE SEEMING LIKE THE MUSIC AND VOICE VOLUME SETTINGS DIDN'T ACTUALLY MATTER MUCH. i HAD TO BASICALLY JACK UP THE VOICES FULLY AND TURN THE MUSIC DOWN TO ABOUT HALF BEFORE i COULD TELL MUCH OF A DIFFERENCE.
fOR THE GAME ITSELF, IT IS QUITE FUN. a SIMPLE PREMISE, A BUNCH OF NOTEWORTHY CHARACTERS AND A REALLY IMPRESSIVELY AMBITIOUS AMOUNT OF POSSIBLE ENDINGS. uNFORTUNATELY, THE ONE i GOT FELT SOMEWHAT ANTICLIMACTIC IN THAT THE PROTAGONISTS JUST SORT OF GO TO BED AFTER A FEW DEATHS AND EVERYTHING IS BACK TO NORMAL IN THE MORNING, AND i FEEL LIKE THERE COULD AT LEAST BE A LITTLE MORE OF A CLIMAX TO IT. bUT PERHAPS ONE OF THE MANY OTHE RENDING SCRATCH THAT ITCH. iT JUST SEEMS LIKE A LOST TO PLAY A 40-MINUTE GAME 20+ TIMES TO TRY OUT DIFFERENT COMBINATIONS.
bUT i REALLY DID ENJOY THIS A LOT, DO NOT GET ME WRONG. wRITING' S FUNNY, ART IS GREAT, VOICE ACTORS ARE CLEARLY HAVING A BLAST AND IT ALL MAKES FOR A SUPER FUN EXPERIENCE!
Hi! I'm getting this error on the mac version:
> “NotItSE” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Bin.
Hello! I forwarded this to the team and we'll get back to you asap!
Hello, Thank you for letting us know about this issue. We've determined that the game is only displaying this error when you download the Mac OS version as a zip from Itch and unfortunately it's a known Unity issue. If you download the game via the Itch launcher or via Steam you shouldn't have this issue.
If you still want to download the game as a zip, you'll need to take some additional steps.
First, you can try moving the game to your Applications directory, ctrl + clicking, and selecting "Open."
In the event that this does not resolve the issue, you can take these more technical steps:
CTRL + Click on NotItSE.app
Click New Terminal at Folder
Type xattr -rc .
Then you should be able to open the game.
The Itch launcher works - thank you!!
really amazing game, you all did an amazing job, i'm still trying to go for all the endings, but they are so varied and so many different outcomes and i love that it's english voice acted, amazing thing to add, also love all the different CGS, there are so well done, i can see that so much love and care was put into this where your choices actually matter, keep up the good work.
I'm doing a playthrough on it, hopefully get all the endings before to long
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you're finding it as joyful to play as we felt when making it!
:) keep it up, I'll keep playing trying to get all the endings, thank you for this amazing game you made
