I can't get demo to work. It seems to install okay but then it says it cant create cryptographic service provider, what ever that means.

What version of windows?

I know whats causing it, though I don't know why, guessing you don't have a certain DLL on your machine; however, it's not necessary so I'm removing it and rebuilding the demo, I'll let you know when it's up again.

EDIT:

just changed out the demo, if you'd like please re-download it from www.staticgame.com; if you have any further issues we'd love to hear from you at Raymond@edigames.com so we can resolve all issues.

Just had a quick go of the demo and noticed there seems to be an enormous difference between the volume of the dialog and the other audio. The former is a *lot* quiter than the latter.

Tried the demo, just don't know quite what to make of this one - - - continued thinking~

It is an interesting concept and the opening screen is lovely. For me the dark rooms were strange and seemed much too empty after that lush opening.

I'll give it another try one of these days.

Just made some changes to the demo to address some feedback.

- photos, etc. show up centered now
- room-to-room movement should be easier

Is nobody else having problems with the sound? It`s difficult to make out the dialog for me playing on my lappy.

The music is a bit loud; but it could be the range of your laptop speakers; I'd recommend trying a good quality pair of headphones.

Yes, sometimes I did have a problem with the music being louder than the voices, it is strange because with the same set of headphones when I restarted the game again,without adjusting anything the speech could easily be heard. So words of comfort it is not your headphones nor computer. I have Vista Mj2c with sigmatel audio card. My suggestion is restart and try the game again.

I downloaded the Demo and played a little bit but then I couldn't get out of the game. I couldn't find an exit or anything. I had to shut my computer down to close the game. Can anyone tell me what to do?

Thanks,

The save game function generates a bunch of error messages.

Thanks but I didn't want to save. I just wanted to get out of the game.
I tried the escape key, enter key and space bar. Nothing worked. It is probably a good game but this stopped me so I uninstalled it.

the menu is at the top of the screen, move your mouse to the top and you'll see it.

Also, a windows tip, any application should always be able to close with Alt+F4


Guybrush, I assume those are technically warnings? We fixed that in the latest demo (yesterday)

But if not, what errors are you getting?


We just linked up the ESC key to moving the cursor to the menu to show it; it should be available in one of our future updates.

smile We're trying our best to squash issues fast; the ESC feature isn't in the current download, but we'll let the forum know when we post a new update.

carlahelp,
Don't forget things can be moved aside also and examined.

This is the game I hope to be playing on Oct.31 the full version.

Lenore did you finish the demo? I finally did and WOW this demo shows it will be a great game. I like that the game designer Edi takes the time to help answer questions for people over at his forum also. Believe me I may need it. LOL Thanks Edi, for your help at your forum . I finally saw the ending of the demo and it was worth the frustration of figuring out that last puzzle.

Sherryah I did finish it. I love the music, and I think the tools are pretty cool too. Can't wait to play the full version.
