Lore: An alternate-reality

The world gazes their eyes upwards, and wonder what could be. A new focus, a grand objective - to explore the Cosmos and the limits of outer space.In 1975, the INF treaty was signed between the East and West, paving the way for a new alliance in pursuit of greater technological advances for all mankind.
A militarized mega-corporation named Space Administration Agency, SAA, is responsible for all space research, aeronautics, advanced electronics and software in the USA. By some, the SAA are seen as the carriers of the great torch, the idealistic vision of technological and intellectual superiority from any other country. By others, the SAA is seen as a leech and parasite- preying on businesses, indoctrinating people from a young age with adverts and products, pursuing their goal no matter the cost.

In 1986, crime is at an all time high, corporations rule over small-businesses and the economy is dividing the people. The night you investigate the strange scene inside Building 847, will be one to remember...

I'm having an issue where the game loads into a TINY window (like 240p tops) and i can't seem to find a way to make it larger. it's so small most of the text is illegible. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I fixed it. By starting the game, i could access the settings and fix the resolution.

Thank you for letting me know, glad you managed to get in the game despite the tiny window!

This game is amazing. The atmosphere, the sounds, the graphics, all well done.
I just want to report: i had a lot of performance bugs.

Thanks for the feedback! This was my first game ever released so I didn't know how to optimize performance at the time, sorry about that!

Hey Ashleigh, sorry about that! I've uploaded a ZIP file instead of RAR. To extract rar files you would need WinRAR for example, but ZIP files can be extracted by Windows itself.

(1 edit)

This was in the Itch.io launcher, which has it’s own RAR extraction tool. I’ll try again.

EDIT: Downloading this (the RAR one) through Firefox and opening with 7-Zip works, but there is something wrong with the RAR itself: The archive extracts at damn near 300 MB/s until it hits that file, at which point it drops to 90 MB/s and seems to hang for a while before finishing the extraction. Whatever tripped up 7-Zip probably caused Itch.io to just give up…

Also, Itch.io’s client doesn’t see the ZIP at all. We might want to mention that to Itch themselves, but I don’t know if I should or if you should.

Oh that's weird, thank you for taking the time to check this out more thoroughly. I'm checking it on my side (I forgot itch had it's own app) and there's an error with the app for me too, but not when extracting it with something else.

I've removed the RAR version since the ZIP version doesn't give any errors with the itch app!

The .exe file crash, launch steam that says "no licence". Scary : will steam analyze that I try to launch piracy games ?

Hey, thank you for letting me know. I've uploaded a new build that fixes the issue!
