This game is great, I've immensely enjoyed playing it but I've become stuck on the part where you listen to Mugwort's movements. I've tried everything I can think of and there are no guides. I'm not sure if it's just a bug but I only hear his first move and attempt to follow it. Then there is no movement after that.
The darkness parts are programmed to be random. There is no "set path," and instead, the path is different every time you play. Once you've taken enough correct steps, the event will conclude successfully. Can you still click the left, right, or up buttons even after the sound disappears? If you keep trying to click buttons, will you eventually get some new text? Do you eventually ever get to a game over screen? A few people have reported something like this happening, but then other people have absolutely no problems getting through this part, so I'm not sure what the underlying cause could be. Maybe let me know what OS you're using, as well? (And what version of the game?) I can try to start seeing if there's a connecting factor between people for whom this is happening).
Thank you for getting back to me. It won't let me continue clicking after the first movement. The background audio continues but the screen remains black. I've tried all directions and even restarting with no result. I downloaded version 1.0.12 on OS Windows 10.
Hey so I played your game completely , it was really fun with a great story. I hope you make more games down the road. I made a full gameplay video for my channel and got all of the endings, was definitely a grind but awesome and funny to play!
Oh, whoops! I didn't see you also linked the vid here, ahaha. That's what I get for not checking itch comments for a few days. But thanks again for the great vid and for all the time that must have gone into getting all the endings. Makes me super pumped that you had fun playing it! :) And also thanks to you I found the two weird bugs in the secret ending (strangely specific as they are, but at least hopefully the new version I'm gonna push out will make sure they don't happen again).
Thanks and keep up the great work on your gaming vids! :D
Seems like a pretty fun game so far but is there any way to increase the screen size? Looking at a small box screen makes it difficult for me to see anything really.
Hm, that's weird that it doesn't automatically start up in fullscreen. You should be able to toggle back and forth between windowed and fullscreen mode, though, by hitting ALT + ENTER when the game is open and running. Let me know if that helps! And thanks for playing! :)
Eyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, got a part 3 up for ya! lmao, hope ya like this one. I think this was a pretty good episode.
Ahaha, this is great! Glad that you were able to move on with the story and loved watching the vid. There were some moments you made me laugh out loud, especially the "belligerent" part. Also I love what you did with the thumbnail and the eyes!
In the middle there, you had a sudden reset. Was that a button you pressed? I didn't even know the game could be suddenly one-button reset like that... so I got a little confused. Anyway, thanks as always for the vids! I love seeing all the reactions to the various stuff that happens in the game.
What happened was, I pressed 1, when I meant to press esc. And that somehow sent me to the main menu. .3.
It really makes me happy knowing somebody loves my videos, especially the dev of the game I'm playing. XD I just wish more people would watch...I put so much time and effort into my videos and it just doesn't seem to pay off... :(
Damn it, how am I gonna be the next Markiplier at this rate? I've been doing this shit for a year now. XD
I FINALLY FINISHED AND GOT THE ANSWERS! The ending though, dude I loved it so much and I am even more in love with the game then when I started; it's really great game with a great plot!
Yaaaay!! Ahaha, I'm glad it helped to clear up some of your confusion! And glad you liked the story, as well. It was fun for me thinking about ways to turn what happened in the default ending on its head with the reveals that come in the secret endings, so I hoped that people who played would enjoy them, as well. Thanks so much for playing and for leaving your wonderful comments! :)
Okay! So I'm stuck with the password, I kept going over the hints but nothing comes to mind I've tried memories, flashbacks and trauma but nothing works and I can't think of anything else.
Ahaha, try dying again (or watching a Let's Play that shows a death if you don't want to find a place to die again). I'm sure the answer will come to you, then... in the form of a series of seemingly nonsensical letters and numbers... :)
I finished the game and I'm so confused, but other than that it was really good game! Actually made me jump and scream a little, the plot was good! And right from the start I called that Nester was the guy attacking people probably because of the music box scene that happened.
Thank you so much for playing the game and I'm glad that you enjoyed it! :) Yeah, the default ending is definitely set up to leave a lot of questions unanswered. Have you tried to get one of the other endings? Once you get on the path to the other endings, a lot of the unanswered stuff will start getting further fleshed out (hopefully eliminating any confusion from the default ending). Whether you do or not, though, I'm really appreciative of you playing the game!
I really enjoyed it, so I'm happy to have played it! I am gonna go back and try to get the other endings, because I want answers and I am determined to get those!
Hey, so, I'm kind of stuck. I'm up to the part where you have to follow Mugwort's movements in the darkness. He makes one movement, but when I try to follow his directional movement, nothing happens. I can't seem to get anything to happen no matter which direction I try to go in. Can't seem to get any further than the first movement even when I have my headphone volume up to maximum.
Is there something I'm missing here? I watched a lets play of the same section and nobody else seems to be having the issue.
Hmm... that's really strange. You say you hear the first movement, right? And if you try clicking either left, right, or up, on the keyboard, no other sounds play at all? I believe there are 4 steps before a new sound plays and some text pops up. Do you ever see some more text pop up between Easter and Muggy? What about if you try just clicking up, left, right for a short time even if you don't hear anything? Even if for some reason the sounds aren't coming through, the event should still let you continue if you keep trying to press buttons and see what happens.
This is quite the confusing bug as I've never had anyone report this. Which version of the game are you playing?
Ahahaha, no worries!! Thanks so much for making more vids! I always get so excited, and love seeing your thumbnail pic again! :D
As for where you're supposed to go, you just need to go straight down and through the door to the dining room (you'll need to hit enter to go through the door). Once you go through the door, the story'll pick itself up from there lol.
I'm sad, my second video on this game only got 6 views...:(
I knew nobody would wanna see me play it after the first one. lol I plan on going through the whole game though, just for you cause you seem to like my shitty content. XD
Ahahahaha, no worries about the door. I actually lightened up that room some to try and make it easier, but I think I might need to do a bit more (plus it seems some people's screens or tints tend to make it even darker than it looks on my screen, which doesn't help).
And I don't think that's true about your content at all! Maybe it'll just take some time to build up views. In the meantime, I'll be watching all of them, lol. :D
Well thank you. ^^ lol, I plan on doing a full playthough of the game. I really wish more people would watch my content though... Glad you enjoy my stuff though!
I really love this game ! I'll admit, when I saw the kind of cliche scenario at the beggining, I didn't expect much, but then ! I was really suprised, the gameplay was "fun" (especially during the black-screen puzzles, even if it's was scary, it's so intense !) and the story... I really liked it, but that was sad (well that's probably just me) :(
Just, I'm wondering I think I still haven't done one ending, I just had the regular ending and a secret end, but I don't know how to get the other one ;;
Thank you so much! That really means a lot, and I'm so glad that you enjoyed playing the game :) Especially the audio-only parts, as the idea for that came on a whim, so I'm glad it panned out and that people like it.
Ah, the two other endings are pretty close to each other. There's just one thing that you need to do differently to get one or the other. I don't want to ask specifically which one you got so as not to spoil anything here in the comments, but I'll try to vaguely get you towards the right place where the fork occurs. Very near the end of the game (on the "true" ending path rather than the default ending), you'll be asked to do something, and then be allowed to move around and do the thing you were asked to do. In one ending, you do the thing you were asked to do with an item in your inventory. In the other, you DON'T do it and simply wait it out--after a short period of time, it will continue to the last, and what I consider to be the true, ending.
Hope that helps!! Let me know if you still can't get it.
Hello! This game seems really awesome just by the screenshots, concept and comments. But sadly I can't seem to get it to open.
I have a windows computer and I downloaded it and the carrot patch game exe with the clear cube icon came up and when I press it it does some more downloading, but it doesn't open the game. Would you be able to help?
Hey! No worries. The clear cube icon with the .exe will install the game on the computer (the bar that will appear is just it unpacking the game, not downloading anything). From there, if you click into the folder that it made, there will be a couple folders like Audio, Fonts, and System, and below that, a "Game.exe" (with likely a red dragon-ish icon next to it). If you give that a click, it should start up the actual game.
Let me know if that works or not or if you're still having trouble!
Oh, thank you very much! I'm glad that you like the game. As for the password, you mean you're not sure what it is or it's not working when you type it? If you're not sure what it is, try killing Easter. You'll see it pretty quick. If it's not working when you type it, make sure that you're using the right capitalization for the letters and everything (all letters should be capitalized exactly how it looks on the game over screen).
I just posted my first video for this game, and I'm sorry about the poor quality, I'm using my PS4 headset so you can't the roar of my laptop and me moving through the computer mic. lol But believe I did the best I could at making the video immersive too. So if there's lots of blowing into the mic, I'm sorry. lol
This is great!! And I think the quality is fine! I didn't even notice anything off as I was watching it, so no worries. Really enjoyed watching your play-through and looking forward to when you do the next video. Thanks for playing the game and glad you're enjoying it so far!
Thank you! I usually try to record one or two things every day, plus only one of my usb ports works, so I can either have my mic, or my mouse. But I really do try to do the best I can with what I have, which isn't much. lol So thank you for actually liking it.
Love it!! Thanks so much for this great vid, and I love the picture you drew for the thumbnail, ahaha. So sorry that you weren't able to get the laggy issues worked out, but I still enjoyed watching the let's play and it was really entertaining. Thanks for playing and glad you enjoyed it even through the lag!
[Edited because I noticed I use the word "amazing" way too much, ahaha.]
Hey so I tried playing the game while not recording, and It worked just fine. I think it's just that my recorder sucked so...I could try again now that I have a new one. But then again since I've already done the first episode (and it was terrible. lol) I don't think anyone would watch it if I made a series on it...:(
Oh! That's great that it turned out to just be a program conflict! I don't know much about video recording software myself, so I'm not sure what might have been the issue besides it just being a resource-heavy program, perhaps. But at any rate, I don't think your first episode was terrible at all, and I would definitely watch if you kept going :D But of course don't feel pressured to, ahaha. I'm just glad that you can play the game normally now :)
Well, if you really wanna see me play more, I will! ^^ I just really don't like how the first episode turned out. All of it was very laggy looking, the game and my webcam...
Oh btw, what did you think of my thumbnail? lol I just traced over the game art, and made it into me.
I don't think it was that bad! Just the lag, but it wasn't a huge issue. And I LOVE the thumbnail! It's so cute! I love what you did with it making it look like the game art :D Gives it a really unique and fun look before even clicking into it.
i have been playing your game the past few hours, and i must admit i loved it. i feel like horror games should have a story behind them to make them even more realiastic.
that being said i must say am still stuck on the password puzzle though, even with the hint you gave i remain clueless, please help i want to reach the true end
Oh, thank you! That's so lovely to hear! :) So glad you're enjoying the game and thank you for the kind words. As for the password, try looking for a very interesting long string of letters and numbers whenever Easter dies... ;) Let me know if that helps!!
Awesome game! Me and my boyfriend played it once and got the default ending, and then thanks to the guide we played again and we passed the two other finals. The sounds and music are truly creepy and outstanding from other similar games, which makes it pretty unique! Thanks for letting us play and although it's pretty fucking sad, it was really cool to play. Regards from Uruguay :)
Thank you so much! And I'm glad the guide helped!! I myself tend to suck when I actually play puzzle-ish games, but I always wanna know the story, so I thought the guide would be a good in-between for those who want to get all the endings.
Really glad that you enjoyed it even though the subject matter was rather dark. And thanks very much for playing it and the lovely comment! :)
Thank you so much for all your wonderful feedback and discourse about the game! It really means so much that you enjoyed the story and characters so much! :) And I am thinking of making a kind of hint-based walkthrough. I'm drawing up some new art to celebrate 1000 GameJolt/itch downloads, so I think I may include a little something in there!
I'm really enjoying this game so far, and I'm currently working on a let's play for it. (I plan to go through the entire game, lol) But one problem I'm having is the game is a bit laggy for me. I move around pretty slowly, and my actions are also very slow. It's probably just cause my laptop sucks though. Anyway, I can't wait to see what horrors this game has in store for me!
Amazing!! Thanks for playing and so glad you're enjoying it so far! Though I'm not sure why it would be laggy :/ I haven't noticed anything on my own machine or any other playthroughs that I've watched. I do know that RPG Maker-made games can sometimes cause problems for some computers because of that way they run? But I'm not sure if that's the case here or if there are any settings that could reduce the lag... I hope you're still able to enjoy it though! And I really look forward to your let's play when you finish it! :)
Is there a trick or easier way to pass the part of the headphones?
I don´t know if they are my headphones or me, but I don´t know when I should move or where Muttword has moved, and if I should stay still in the part that sounds the heart, or move more?
A help please, I'm really enjoying the game, and I would like to finish it to discover the truth (Depending on the end that I get).
Hey! I'm happy to give you some tips and advice! To keep from being too spoilery on the comments page, could you shoot me an email? (carrot.patch.games@gmail.com) or you could also send me a DM on Twitter (@CarrotPtchGames)! :)
Something about Horror and, RPG's go together well! I haven't played all the way through yet but, already I can feel the suspense and, atmosphere of this game. Seems like Ollie is the intelligent one of the group! haha
Thank you!! And loved watching your play-through! Excited that you're enjoying the game :) Olie's definitely the voice of reason most of the time, ahaha.
I'm thinking about it actually, yes! A non-spoilery guide for people who want the rest of the story but who are having trouble finding all the clues. I might whip something up.
I'm so glad you're enjoying the game, though! Thank you for playing it! :)
I'm definitely enjoying the game. As far as oddities go, not sure if the glowing star where the crowbar is was intended or not. Anyways here's my video. I'm gonna try for all endings as I can.
Amazing! Thanks so much for this great vid and looking forward to your next ones! As for the slightly glimmering star, yes, that's supposed to be there. Otherwise the crowbar would be next to impossible to find, ahaha.
(Spoilers in this video. Beware if you are playing.) Here's the second video of the game. I really like the headset only portion of the game so far though it'll be nice to take something flash up during the headset portion, mainly when there's no music, for a jumpscare. But that's just my opinion on the matter.
Thanks so much! Glad you're still playing it! Really loved watching you play through the sound-only portions. Quite entertaining and made me laugh a lot :D Thanks for making such fun videos!
(End Game Spoilers) So here's the last video in the game and it was both interesting and confusing at the end. Mostly on the fact of I'm not sure which ending I got. Anywho, it'll be nice to know which ending the player got at least after the final scene fades to credit.
You got through the game! :D Thanks again for the wonderful series of vids! As for the endings, there isn't really a "bad ending" unless you count the various deaths throughout the game. There is a default ending, and then there's a track that will lead to two other possible endings that reveal more of the story if you discover all the clues, so that was just the default ending. That's good feedback about perhaps adding something before or after the credits! I'll look into maybe doing that...
If you want to try to get one of the other endings, I could give you some advice, if you'd like, but if not, no worries! Thanks for playing!
So, I'm very much enjoying the game so far, but I think I am a little stuck. I had the first "dream" I believe (like in the last screenshot at right on this page), and am now controlling another character looking for someone who's gone missing. Despite wandering around in the dark and attempting to interact with objects, I'm unable to see how to progress. I've got a black bead in my inventory but trying to use it isn't yielding much either. Any help or a walkthrough available for this? It's hard to see in the dark, especially without a flashlight...
Hey! No worries! All you need to do is go through the door straight down from the middle of the room (the one that leads to the dining room). You need to press ENTER to open the door! If you need any other help, just ask! :)

I FINALLY FINISHED AND GOT THE ANSWERS! The ending though, dude I loved it so much and I am even more in love with the game then when I started; it's really great game with a great plot!
Yaaaay!! Ahaha, I'm glad it helped to clear up some of your confusion! And glad you liked the story, as well.

What about if you try just clicking up, left, right for a short time even if you don't hear anything? Even if for some reason the sounds aren't coming through, the event should still let you continue if you keep trying to press buttons and see what happens.
This is quite the confusing bug as I've never had anyone report this. Which version of the game are you playing?
Here's the second episode of my playthrough, made it just because you said you liked my first one! lol
This episode..........sucks. lol
You have been warned...
Ahahaha, no worries!! Thanks so much for making more vids! I always get so excited, and love seeing your thumbnail pic again! :D
As for where you're supposed to go, you just need to go straight down and through the door to the dining room (you'll need to hit enter to go through the door). Once you go through the door, the story'll pick itself up from there lol.
Oh.
._.
...
I didn't see the door....
Fuckity.
I'm sad, my second video on this game only got 6 views...:(
I knew nobody would wanna see me play it after the first one. lol
I plan on going through the whole game though, just for you cause you seem to like my shitty content. XD

Ah, the two other endings are pretty close to each other. There's just one thing that you need to do differently to get one or the other. I don't want to ask specifically which one you got so as not to spoil anything here in the comments, but I'll try to vaguely get you towards the right place where the fork occurs.

I appear to have done a let's play.
Love it!! Thanks so much for this great vid, and I love the picture you drew for the thumbnail, ahaha. So sorry that you weren't able to get the laggy issues worked out, but I still enjoyed watching the let's play and it was really entertaining. Thanks for playing and glad you enjoyed it even through the lag!
[Edited because I noticed I use the word "amazing" way too much, ahaha.]
Hey, I was happy to play it. If you make any other games, I'll be sure to play those too!
Hey so I tried playing the game while not recording, and It worked just fine. I think it's just that my recorder sucked so...I could try again now that I have a new one. But then again since I've already done the first episode (and it was terrible. lol) I don't think anyone would watch it if I made a series on it...:(
Oh! That's great that it turned out to just be a program conflict! I don't know much about video recording software myself, so I'm not sure what might have been the issue besides it just being a resource-heavy program, perhaps. But at any rate, I don't think your first episode was terrible at all, and I would definitely watch if you kept going :D But of course don't feel pressured to, ahaha. I'm just glad that you can play the game normally now :)
Well, if you really wanna see me play more, I will! ^^ I just really don't like how the first episode turned out. All of it was very laggy looking, the game and my webcam...
Oh btw, what did you think of my thumbnail? lol I just traced over the game art, and made it into me.
I don't think it was that bad! Just the lag, but it wasn't a huge issue. And I LOVE the thumbnail! It's so cute! I love what you did with it making it look like the game art :D Gives it a really unique and fun look before even clicking into it.
i have been playing your game the past few hours, and i must admit i loved it. i feel like horror games should have a story behind them to make them even more realiastic.
that being said i must say am still stuck on the password puzzle though, even with the hint you gave i remain clueless, please help i want to reach the true end
Oh, thank you! That's so lovely to hear! :) So glad you're enjoying the game and thank you for the kind words. As for the password, try looking for a very interesting long string of letters and numbers whenever Easter dies... ;) Let me know if that helps!!
it helped thank you beautiful human, i reached the end at last.
also loved how everything just fell into place, great ending, also thank you for this game it was a nice change of pace
Awesome game! Me and my boyfriend played it once and got the default ending, and then thanks to the guide we played again and we passed the two other finals.
The sounds and music are truly creepy and outstanding from other similar games, which makes it pretty unique! Thanks for letting us play and although it's pretty fucking sad, it was really cool to play.
Regards from Uruguay :)
Thank you so much! And I'm glad the guide helped!! I myself tend to suck when I actually play puzzle-ish games, but I always wanna know the story, so I thought the guide would be a good in-between for those who want to get all the endings.
Really glad that you enjoyed it even though the subject matter was rather dark. And thanks very much for playing it and the lovely comment! :)
Ahaha, admittedly I've never been good at them myself. Glad you liked it though!! Thanks so much for playing the game! :)
I've passed the game and the three finals!
It has an interesting, tragic, and incredibly shocking story.
I have to admit that it has cost me quite to get all the finals, youbshould write a guide about it.
But it's worth discovering the tragic history of this game, and the plot twist in the true ending is amazing.
I hope you make more incredible games in the future!
Thank you so much for all your wonderful feedback and discourse about the game! It really means so much that you enjoyed the story and characters so much! :) And I am thinking of making a kind of hint-based walkthrough. I'm drawing up some new art to celebrate 1000 GameJolt/itch downloads, so I think I may include a little something in there!
I'm really enjoying this game so far, and I'm currently working on a let's play for it. (I plan to go through the entire game, lol) But one problem I'm having is the game is a bit laggy for me. I move around pretty slowly, and my actions are also very slow. It's probably just cause my laptop sucks though. Anyway, I can't wait to see what horrors this game has in store for me!
Amazing!! Thanks for playing and so glad you're enjoying it so far! Though I'm not sure why it would be laggy :/ I haven't noticed anything on my own machine or any other playthroughs that I've watched. I do know that RPG Maker-made games can sometimes cause problems for some computers because of that way they run? But I'm not sure if that's the case here or if there are any settings that could reduce the lag... I hope you're still able to enjoy it though! And I really look forward to your let's play when you finish it! :)
Is there a trick or easier way to pass the part of the headphones?
I don´t know if they are my headphones or me, but I don´t know when I should move or where Muttword has moved, and if I should stay still in the part that sounds the heart, or move more?
A help please, I'm really enjoying the game, and I would like to finish it to discover the truth (Depending on the end that I get).
Hey! I'm happy to give you some tips and advice! To keep from being too spoilery on the comments page, could you shoot me an email? (carrot.patch.games@gmail.com) or you could also send me a DM on Twitter (@CarrotPtchGames)! :)
I am going to follow you!
Thank you!! And loved watching your play-through! Excited that you're enjoying the game :) Olie's definitely the voice of reason most of the time, ahaha.
I found Olie's eyes!
(Although I don´t know if they or doctors will be able to reattach them)
Amazing! I think you're the first person who's found them, ahaha :D
I'm still stuck in the audio part, but I'll try to do my best
(I don´t have headphones)
By the way, I have my suspicions about who is the masked, although I haven´t passed the game yet, and I don´t want to spoil...
Could you write a guide in the future?
By the way, your game is great, I will try to pass it to me.
I'm thinking about it actually, yes! A non-spoilery guide for people who want the rest of the story but who are having trouble finding all the clues. I might whip something up.
I'm so glad you're enjoying the game, though! Thank you for playing it! :)
I'm definitely enjoying the game. As far as oddities go, not sure if the glowing star where the crowbar is was intended or not. Anyways here's my video. I'm gonna try for all endings as I can.
Amazing! Thanks so much for this great vid and looking forward to your next ones! As for the slightly glimmering star, yes, that's supposed to be there. Otherwise the crowbar would be next to impossible to find, ahaha.
(Spoilers in this video. Beware if you are playing.) Here's the second video of the game. I really like the headset only portion of the game so far though it'll be nice to take something flash up during the headset portion, mainly when there's no music, for a jumpscare. But that's just my opinion on the matter.
Thanks so much! Glad you're still playing it! Really loved watching you play through the sound-only portions. Quite entertaining and made me laugh a lot :D Thanks for making such fun videos!
(End Game Spoilers) So here's the last video in the game and it was both interesting and confusing at the end. Mostly on the fact of I'm not sure which ending I got. Anywho, it'll be nice to know which ending the player got at least after the final scene fades to credit.
My suspicions of who was the masked were correct!
Try to get another ending, I think that final wasn´t the true ending, I think.
You got through the game! :D Thanks again for the wonderful series of vids! As for the endings, there isn't really a "bad ending" unless you count the various deaths throughout the game. There is a default ending, and then there's a track that will lead to two other possible endings that reveal more of the story if you discover all the clues, so that was just the default ending. That's good feedback about perhaps adding something before or after the credits! I'll look into maybe doing that...
If you want to try to get one of the other endings, I could give you some advice, if you'd like, but if not, no worries! Thanks for playing!
So, I'm very much enjoying the game so far, but I think I am a little stuck. I had the first "dream" I believe (like in the last screenshot at right on this page), and am now controlling another character looking for someone who's gone missing. Despite wandering around in the dark and attempting to interact with objects, I'm unable to see how to progress. I've got a black bead in my inventory but trying to use it isn't yielding much either. Any help or a walkthrough available for this? It's hard to see in the dark, especially without a flashlight...
Hey! No worries! All you need to do is go through the door straight down from the middle of the room (the one that leads to the dining room). You need to press ENTER to open the door! If you need any other help, just ask! :)
Interesting RPG Maker Horror so far.... will be releasing moar!
Thank you so much for this great video and for playing the game! Love it so far and can't wait to see the subsequent parts!
^^ Thanks! Yup :P Hope to find all the endings.
