What are the passwords? (READ ONLY IF YOU'RE STUCK)
The passwords can be found by looking at the first letter of each commenter's name. It is case sensitive, and you're supposed to add a space between each comments section (no space at the end though). The sentence ends once you reach the password screen itself, and the comments after that are a new password for the next one.Download

Ok, I just came back after a year, and I don't know why, but this time I got the no passwords ending like normally, but after that instead of the mini game ending next, I got the ending where you get your puppet took from you. you know, ERROR: <<narrativecontrol>>: "PUPPET" not found, when my first playthrough, I never got it.
It depends on what kind of comment you decide to leave!
also, it told me the code after getting first ending. LOL
I changed it to make the passwords more apparent after completing the normal end since people were having trouble finding them! I might change it to be more subtle in the future, but for now I just want people to be able to experience all of the content.
Your game is great FYI
MeiCheesecake i just got the no passwords ending after getting all passwords, then it says in italics PAY ATTENTION TO THE COMMENTS and then lets START OVER...
Could you elaborate on this? Did you get sent to the normal ending even after having entered all passwords? Or just that you went back to the normal one after having done the passwords ending and noticed the hint? If it's the former, could you tell me the steps you took on that playthrough? I haven't been able to reproduce it.
first, i did the password ending, and started over, and then i did the no passwords ending, and while doing it that's when the code was given to me in the comments, and when you do that ending, you know, it tells you to pay attention to the comments.
pretty cool!
I like the concept but man I spent too long going back looking for what it told me to at the end but nothing, I've tried so many different things but I can't figure out any passwords, really stumped me on this one
I have just updated the game to make it easier to find the passwords once you reach the normal end and click the link to go back. I've also added a section in the game's description explicitly explaining how to get them to clear up any confusion. Hope that helps!
