Error in the cog demo after choosing “No, I prefer not to receive content warnings.”

That’s a website error. Try clearing the cache and/or switching browser.

Ok, I think it’s an actual bug this time.

This time yeah, it should be a bug! I’ll check as soon as I get home from work. Thank you!

You’re right to be confused, because I’m apparently an idiot and forgot to update it :sweat_smile:

I’m going to update it now! Thank you.

New update!

This update brings +5,300 words. Please note that this is a horizontally focused update, primarily addressing bug fixes and expanding the lore!

DEVLOG

  • Expanded Day 6 branches—you can now head west!
  • Pain now increases more quickly during events, recovers slightly after a night’s sleep, and requires painkillers for substantial relief. Obviously, you can also use painkillers, now.
  • Fixed a bug with the outdoor scenes featuring Michael on Day 6.
  • Fixed a bug that prevented rest after the first night watch on Day 6.
  • Added new content to news and collectibles.
  • Fixed various bugs.
  • Corrected typos.

Hello! in the part where you pass the hallway after the texts with rain, i can’t pass the choices. it shows the error “siblingroom line 128: invalid return; gosub has not yet been called”

Found a bug


Clicked through all choices, can’t progress from this scene.

The invalidreturn is very weird, I’ve not even touched that scene… Thank you everyone, I’ll fix the files and comment on here in the next few hours.

So, this is the same bug. The problem is that this bug shouldn’t even exist. The Patreon version hosted elsewhere doesn’t have this issue, the local test doesn’t have this issue, and the old hosting on Dashingdon didn’t have this issue either. I left a comment in the main cogdemos thread, but honestly, at this point I have no idea if it’s something to do with the site or something else entirely.

In the meantime, I’ve tried every possible fix I could think of, but nothing worked—so I’m moving the game to a different host and I’ll be posting the new link soon. I’m really sorry for the issue, and thank y’all for your patience.

I’ll obviously let you know if/when I find a solution (or a workaround) to this.

@Slime, yours was a legit bug and I fixed it already :smiling_face: Can I ask you what choices did you make to not get stuck at the initial invalid return? It happens when you get to the living room, in MC’s house.

For those unfamiliar with itch.io, you can play the game in full screen by clicking in the lower right corner, here:

This is going to be a temporary backup version to ensure the game remains accessible while I investigate the bug occurring on CoGDemos, so I won’t remove the main link in the post.

I love this story! :heart: I have played this game on dashingdon before. I really liked how you made it as realistic as possible.
Encountered an error while playing though!

Still love your story a lot. When following Michael and Kay after the scream regardless of if I chose to go north or east I end up with this error:

Looking forward to more, thank you for your hard work!

Thank you both! :heart:

We discussed this a bit earlier, you can read about it in the two comments before yours! I’d suggest trying the itch.io version :smiling_face:

I admit I was already panicking, haha. It was my fault and an easy fix, fortunately! When I uploaded the files to itch.io I hadn’t selected the startup file replacement as well. Now it should work correctly :smiling_face: Thank you and enjoy!
