Hypnosis Episode 14 Part Two Beta Testing Version
🕑 Added 2024-03-02 08:11:17 +0000 UTCAt last! The rest of Episode 14, now completed. That is, until you all find issues to fix.
Thank you, beta testers, for putting in the work to check the game for bugs!
And to the rest of you who are simply looking to play the game early, I have good news. This update is pretty damn finished. I'm sure I'll have more reasons to go back and fix things up, but the scenes are complete, the images are there, the game has gone through its first coat of polished.
What kind of errors do I anticipate? I put the whole thing (including the first half of the episode) though a better spellcheck and found several issues, but since then I also wrote a few thousand more lines, so I'm sure there's something in there.
But spelling and grammar aren't the biggest things, there's also bugs in general, like error messages or inconsistencies in dialogue or scene structure. Anything off, basically.
Plus, I'm always happy to hear general feedback. What did you like? What did you not like? What could be better?
Here are the links for the game:

Mac download
Android download
For Android in particular, the text screen and keyboard popping up for the "save your game" page should now be optional, with the option defaulted to off. I went through several versions to find that works for Android, but still made it optional. Let me know if it works for you.
As always, the best place to leave feedback is in Discord in the early-testing channel to keep everything straight, but here works fine too, or feel free to send me a message.
Other scenes changed:
I added the option to get to the Broken Watch Branch from the main game where you still have the watch. It took me a few days thinking about how to do it, but I like how it ended up. So now you don't have to go all the way back to Episode Ten to get the watch stolen, it's accessible whether or not you recover it.
There is an extra scene on the "evil" path when you run into the hot dog girl at the mall. The "evil" path is now split at the end of Episode 13 (actually, technically the beginning of Episode 14) to make it easier to play both paths without having to go all the way back to Episode 8 as before. So far the amount of content isn't hugely different, basically just the option to date Tiffany on the "good" path and Hottie Bartender on the "evil" path, but I'll attempt to give more differences going forward.
Thanks for testing the game, and thanks for all the support!
