Absolutely loved this game super scary reminds me of five nights at freddy's a bit. The controls are great and overall the game looks amazing great game.
We're back, we're back! All issues have been resolved and everything is OK. Unfortunately, we weren't able to upload the Linux build of the game because it was bigger than the 750mb upload limit. We did a LOT of compression, but wasn't enough to keep it below 750mb. We did reach out to itch.io to ask for more space, so let's hope that works.Hang in there Linux users! Well, at least the Mac build went through :P
Looks like the macOS doesn't like to open applications that aren't from the App Store... We'll see what we can do about this. If all goes well, we'll upload a fixed mac build.
Sup Amberdrop ,I actually am stuck with a problem that I have occurred is that when I unpack the rar file with any rar opener it always either gets stuck or gets stopped with a error and in one rar opener it particularly gets stopped for me at screenselector.bmp.If you can provide me with any solution I would be really glad cuz I so wanna play this game n it sucks that Im not able to.Thank you so much for reading
We'll double check the .rar file on our end. Maybe try to download the .rar file again? It's possible that it got corrupted while it was being downloaded.
This was fun! I like how you made the game have different gameplay mechanics, shows skill. Not very optimized though, not sure if that's my PC or the game is trying to do too much all at one time. Overall I really liked it and can't wait to try the other nights when you have the full version released!
This game although in beta is extremely well made. I played this with my friend and I screamed the majority of the time. But in the second part of the game it is quite laggy for some odd reason. Keep it up!
Bed times the Best time... Unless you suffer from violent and scary hallucinations!!
AmberDrop you've created something beautiful here, for an indie game the graphics, controls and general terror of the game is on more beautiful than birth itself.
Wow, I was amazing by the games quality and content I just wished I could've played more, but I think I ran into a bug. I died and restarted but it seemed every time a dude appeared and I went under the blanked I got spooked anyways. Not sure if I was doing something wrong or if it was bugged. Really good concept though. Video🔴
I know, that's what I did the first time, the second time though when I was trying it popped up anyways. I stayed under the blanket but seemed to bug out.
My GOD! This game is an absolute blast! It's terrifying, challenging and the concept is so well put together! I can't wait to play the full game on my channel when it releases! Great job on this one, and keep up the good work!
Hi there, just got the chance to play your game. I made a video so hopefully that will get the word out a bit for you. Great job! My only feedback is that the "collect 6 fuses" section of the game was a bit tedious, by the time I found them all I wasn't scared anymore. Maybe cut it down to 3 or 4 needed to progress? Could totally just be me though, great job either way!
Really scary! I don't know if it was also really difficult or if i was just terrible, but i had a tough time. The atmosphere is terrifying and keeps you on edge the whole time. Really great game.
I recommend putting "don't leave the light on or it will break" in the help menu xD
Just letting you know that i really love your game... i hope the full game is on its way because i really want to play it :) good concept and btw I made a video about your game and feel free to dm me if u have other games that you want me to try :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Grbhf6znA8&t=1s
hey can you add a bad guy to this game? i have big ideas and i think i could help with devloment for the game, i can remember over 100 dreams i had, and the scary monster would be shadow man and a person called kerlin, he is bald ,whears work suit and all his hair is spikes so he has spike come out of his head and then back in and he also has a shaved beard etc
Hello players! Thanks for all the feedback! We'll be sure to release a brand new patch later this week. We'll try to fix a few small things, improve the optimisation a bit and build a Mac version as well. For more serious improvements it'll need more time, but later down the road we'll try to go thru the entire game and see what things could be improved or even reworked.
So, this was pretty good! I can see how some people perceive some 'FNAF' feelings from the game, but honestly it felt pretty original. I wish there was more to the first half of the nights, though. Unless I just breezed by it and didn't pay attention or play it the way it was meant to be played. I loved the voice acting and the graphics. The animation was phenomenal. I really appreciate the little things in this game: the running animations for the hallucination models (if it's stock, I didn't notice) & being able to actually see your dreams/nightmares materialize into view while your eyes are closed. Everything was visually pleasing. The audio / ambiance was amazing, as well. I liked the fact that it was a two-part night with some little mini-game-ish scenes in between. So, the mechanics were great. The audio was great. Models and scenery were great. The only issues I had with this game were:
1. The graphics probably need to be optimized a little to improve the frame rate. Usually while recording, if my PC specs are at fault, my facecam frame rate will drop as well. But it wasn't in this case, which means something is happening in the game itself that's causing it to lag.
2. I fell out of the map at one point! Thank goodness it was in one of the fuse mini-games but I still fell out, nonetheless.
3. The volume was a little all over the place. I had to turn the game volume up to hear AB, but when the jumpscare hit, it pretty much blew out my eardrums. I actually had to adjust the audio in the video I made in segments as well to make it more friendly to the viewer. So maybe lower the volume of the jumpscares and footsteps in mini-games a tiiiiiny bit and increase the volume in AB dialogue? Idk, whatever you wanna do, it's your game! :D
Other than that, the game was amazing! The ideas and execution were great, in my opinion. I'd definitely play a full version of this game. Thanks so much for making this!!
Awesome vid! Thanks for pointing out a few bugs/issues. We'll be sure to release a brand new patch later this week and we'll try to further improve the optimisation.
I'm actually having a weird problem. I tried to record a let's play and, at a certain part I don't know if it's just the increased framerate that he mentioned but, it shuts off my cam entirely. It's only happened on this game. I might just have to let's play this without a face cam. :(
Great video! This is something that we were looking for after launching the beta. Such feedback is crucial for a great game. The feedback was constructive, genuine and it'll definitely help us out moving forward and develop much needed improvements for the game in the future. We already have a few good ideas that would significantly make the falling a sleep and the dreaming sequences much more enjoyable and scarier. Once again, thank you very much for doing this!
With some of the screenshots shown I went in hoping it wasn't going to be some fnaf-style bull, but opening up night one with that was pretty disappointing. The models, animations, sound design and voice acting all sound pretty good, but if it's all mashed into an overdone format, it feels a bit wasted to me. Maybe the game gets better later on, as it looks like there's something more interesting showcased in the screenshots, but the fist night was enough to make me lose all interest. I hope I'm alone in this, as it looks like you've put in a lot of work, best of luck to you all.
Hello there! Thanks for the feedback. We're sorry that you find our game disappointing. We'll try to improve it down the road. It's still a beta, so we're open to any feedback and suggestions from the community.
Don't let one opinion sway what you want your game to be! I just don't happen to like fnaf style gameplay, but if that's what you want your game to be, then make that game! No one game will appeal to everyone.
Understandable. There is more to it than that fnaf game mechanic. After falling asleep there's a whole different level with completely different game mechanics. The falling asleep part is a smaller part of the game, but still it's curtail for the lore and the story.
So, I gave it another try. You've got some interesting ideas going on here, but (even realizing this is an early build) there are some, what I found to be, serious gameplay and player punishment issues. I'll have a video out in about five hours that really goes into detail. Hope you find the feedback valid and useful!

I really enjoyed this game. Looking forward to the full release!

I have a Mac, and when I unpack the rar file, the game it self says:
The application “TTFA_Beta_v04_Mac” can’t be opened.
Can you help?
Looks like the macOS doesn't like to open applications that aren't from the App Store... We'll see what we can do about this. If all goes well, we'll upload a fixed mac build.
Thanks so much! I really appreciate you getting back to me so soon!

Nope I did it again and same things happened
Did you get the 0.4 version?
Yes I even did it right now and it still results in same error
Very strange... Try to use Winrar, if you haven't already. If that doesn't work, then we're not quite sure how to solve this issue :/
This was fun! I like how you made the game have different gameplay mechanics, shows skill. Not very optimized though, not sure if that's my PC or the game is trying to do too much all at one time.

It was great to watch your video. We still need to work on optimization
This game although in beta is extremely well made. I played this with my friend and I screamed the majority of the time. But in the second part of the game it is quite laggy for some odd reason. Keep it up!
thank you so much we will take that on board!

Video🔴
Try to stay under the blanket until the monster leaves, and get in there as soon as you see him
I know, that's what I did the first time, the second time though when I was trying it popped up anyways. I stayed under the blanket but seemed to bug out.
My GOD! This game is an absolute blast! It's terrifying, challenging and the concept is so well put together! I can't wait to play the full game on my channel when it releases! Great job on this one, and keep up the good work!
Thanks for the kind words! This kind of stuff really motivates us to make a pretty good game. :)
Nice horror game! A lot of unique things going on here. It does at first seem to be a fnaf clone but it breaks out of that mold very quickly.
I will be sure to keep an eye out for it in the future and would love to play the full version.
Awesome!
Welp... that was horrifying. truly amazing work!
Thank you!
This was a great horror game! I really enjoyed it a lot, and those jumpscares kept getting me xD
Can't wait to see what this game becomes, and good luck to you :)

Great vid! We'll see what we can do to improve the dreaming sequence. ;)
Maybe making it more scary can be a solution
Really scary! I don't know if it was also really difficult or if i was just terrible, but i had a tough time. The atmosphere is terrifying and keeps you on edge the whole time. Really great game.
I recommend putting "don't leave the light on or it will break" in the help menu xD
Cool vid! The next patch is coming soon, so we'll be sure to update the "help" graphics.

hey can you add a bad guy to this game? i have big ideas and i think i could help with devloment for the game, i can remember over 100 dreams i had, and the scary monster would be shadow man and a person called kerlin, he is bald ,whears work suit and all his hair is spikes so he has spike come out of his head and then back in and he also has a shaved beard etc

Sweet!! Thank you! :D
OH MY LORD. GOOD SHIT
I loved the game had perfect ambiance and had pretty good graphics :D.
However i broke the game on my 2nd attempt and was able to sleep through the whole level with just 1 hallucination near the end.
I also made a video of your game i hope you like it :D.
Played through the whole beta and I gotta say, TTFA did grow on me. Performance in the dream was less than stellar but overall things went well. :)
PS For anyone watching, please consider subscribing for a copious amounts of indie games.Here you are, all the feedback is at the end. Seems like some really solid ideas, but the execution needs a bit of work.
