I am currently working on another game so I won't be adding anything else to HotPW. I may revisit it in the future, but I probably won't add other characters/enemies as that's kind of what I'm doing with my current project.
I have only one question. One of the loading screen tips said to keep an eye on the statues. I've looked at the statues many times but never noticed anything out of the ordinary so at this point I'm just curious about what that is in reference to.
Came for porn, instead got a really good time. It was a slow start as I didn’t know how the game worked at all, but after a while of grinding I now have most of the shop items unlocked except the clothing items. This was a really good game, and I can tell a lot of work was put into it. I remember a brief moment in my gameplay where I was being chased, taunted by the Widow, but still determined to win, and in the heat of it I said something like, "When I win this shit... I'm gunna fuck that stupid mouth of yours." 10/10 will keep playing for a while. My only request now is to add more H-scenes lol 😈
Not at the moment. I'm currently working on another game which has a Steam page already available though. After that game's finished and released, I might come back to HotPW.
Downloaded the game like couple of days ago, kept playing and upgrading. I liked the grindy aspect of it so much, to the point where I forgot that this was a porn game. Unlocked NSFW without even thinking too much into it and got flashbanged by a ghost bj during purification ending.
I honestly can't express how fun this game is to kill time. Like, its such a simple run and collect, borderline dungeon crawler, that if I need to kill like 15 minutes, this is perfect. Voice acting is incredible, idk if she is a professional, but this gives the ghost that much more personality. It's that much more eerie when the ghost doesn't threaten you, but is actively letting you know you are being toyed with. And of course, the unlockable scenes, voicing is a little too good, don't even wanna know how that was recorded, as a consumer I am just pleased with the outcome.
Now that I have glazed this enough, here are the downsides: 1) The map - its is genuinely difficult to navigate when all layes are stacked on top of each other and you need to figure out which layer you are on, as in, there are moments of overlapping layers and it was hard to know if I am on top or bottom or on the ground. 2) Key sounds - the sound that rings after unlocking the perk does not accurately pin point where it is. Maybe it is just something that is much harder to code in, I wouldn't have any idea. But often when it sounds like it should be on my left, I have to run and go to the right. Even worse, you hear it on the right nearby, but actually it is couple rooms ahead. Luckily the indicator of how close you are can help in that regard, but it is far from ideal 3) Player detection - wouldn't call this a downside, its just more hilarious. Ghost has no touch detection, which makes it funny to sneak behind her and just follow for half the map before she makes a turn and sees you in her 180 degree peripheral (at least thats how wide the peripheral seemed to be, maybe its higher)
Suggestions: 1) Again, I do not know how hard it is to implement, but would it be possible to make map show only the layer you are currently on? That would make navigation slightly better, though that might fuck with the perk that shows ghost's location
Fabulous work on this project, keep up the great work
I like the game but is there a guide or something like a website or a video or anything so I can familiarize myself with strategies or just understand how to do certain stuff.
Game dee mak mak loey kub! I feel so refreshed because of this unique nsfw game's playstyle, cuz yk most of the nsfw game on itch.io are visual novel. I first downloaded because u know why but damn it got me locked in! Keep it up! ♥♥♥
Hey dev, keep up this amazing work. There aren't many actually interesting 18+ games these days, and I have to say, this was a breath of fresh air. I'm sorry if this comes off as nosy, but I was just going to offer some advice. This is a really well made game and I would hate for it to fall into obscurity, I suggest you create more eye catching thumbnails (the one you see when you scroll on the main itch.io page). I saw that you are creating a new game, it looks wonderful so far, can't wait for the demo! I hope you get the attention you deserve!
does she have wall hacks or something. she always knows where im at even when i close doors. ive hit dead ends so many times after escaping her only for her to immediately find me again. its driving me insane. every single time i get the keys i need or one more key shes there to fuck it up.
also what exactly do all the ? mean. ive collected 4 of the 5 keys and i still have like 7 ? on my screen idk where the door even is.
also i keep getting caught on doors and doors not closing durring chases.
You seem to be pretty active in the comment section here. Pardon my asking friend, but are you affiliated with this game and/or the creator? I would like to get some info
I don't have a Discord server. I'm just trying to find out if there is any confirmation that the characters in the game are +18. I know it's a safe bet that they are, but I would l like some clarification before I download it. Do you know if there is any?
No new game updates. I changed the links in the description but didn't think that'd send out any notifications... sorry about that, I'll try to avoid doing that in the future.
EDIT: Sorry, I just did it again as the link expired :(
Thank you for making such a great game. The game is wonderful, with these small memory assets to make such a rich game content. Your skills are amazing, excellent programmer. By the way, your friend's voice is very good, very ethereal, your sound processing is also great. My English is not very good, once again to support. :)
The two defeat scenes you get randomly and the additional three come from purification. The animation depends on where you're standing and what bodypart you're aiming at. The 6th animation in the game is only available via free mode.
Helloooo ! incredible, I love the game, horror and nsfw are definitely the best combo, can't wait to see ur next project (but man we really need a outfit with sum high heels or something like that) awesome work <33
Thanks! Yeah, I can see that. Though I think High Heels would need their own system for animation and so on because there's a lot of potential with that.
first of all awesome game, love the concept of the game and how it was executed, however i am encountering a bug the shop upgrades seem to not be working for me even tho i purchased and enabled them, for example i can t see the widow on the map even tho i have the upgarde, h-scenes don t work either, when i get caught it just plays the standard stabbing animation...
i can answer that for you! pretty much getting the h-scenes is kind of a hassle. i haven't played the game in a bit, but if i remember you can get the H-scenes depending on how many keys you get. but you can always go to the grindy route and do the purification bit! i find it way easier to not only finish the game but also better scenes than the normal way. but if you do decide to go to the purification way to beat the game, depending where you purify her you will get a different scene
being in front of her is a BJ, behind her is reverse or normal cowgirl, and im pretty sure purifying her from the side is some other scene i dont really remember
For purification, you get missionary if you're in front of her, doggy-style from behind. If you aim at her head then you get the BJ animation. For getting defeated, the animations play randomly.
if you really want to skip all the grinding all you need to do is look up %LocalAppData%\HallsOfPaleWidow\Saved\SaveGames in my PC, then drag and drop the save file on the site https://www.saveeditonline.com then edit your money before saving the file in same spot. I recommend moving the original save in case you mess up. Don't want to corrupt your progress if you mess up somehow.
Pretty good game, love the rétro and the vibe. I just have one question : Sometimes, whenever she is close or not, i hear a random ''hey'' in a totally different voice (like, not the one of the woman). Is there some sort of easter egg with this or am i going too far and its just one of her lines?
Shamelessly, I took the idea of that from another game. The idea is that the "hey" is a very rare scare that plays every once in a while. All it does it attempt to disarm you if you are all alone and nothing is happening. It is intended that was and isn't a bug. Anyway, glad you like the game!
You can achieve incredibly high speeds by jumping, holding down crouch, and jumping as soon as you hit the ground. The timing on its pretty tricky, but it's not too bad once you get the hang of it. Bhopping also allows you to go fast without losing stamina. Also, if you wanna dodge her attacks, sprint to her right.
To be honest, when I asked her I was very uncertain what the reaction was going to be. But we've been friends for over 10 years and we've talked about porn plenty of times so I wasn't too concerned.
Hmm... That is odd. Is this happening after the level generates and you get control of your character? It's the first time I've heard about this issue.
Did you get a notification? Sorry about that, someone mentioned having issues with the Itch.io app so I updated the download to work with it. There's no actual new updates.
Hey Krasue! I wanted to drop by and ask a tiny question because absolutely love this game you've made! Now, I don't know if this is an obvious thing for all itch.io games or a me problem, but I've lost all my progress upon loading up for the second time the updated 1.0.8 version of the game. In both version of the game (1.01 AND 1.0.8), my progress had been completely wiped and I'm back at square one. I absolutely don't mind restarting to obtain all the unlocks I've gained, but I wanted to know if you knew the answer to this problem, because of course, I wouldn't want to lose all of my progress again. :)
Hey, thanks for enjoying the game. This is the first I've heard of save progress getting wiped - a few people actually commented wanting to know how to manually wipe it so they could restart.
Is it each time you start the game? It might worth taking a look in %LocalAppData%\HallsOfPaleWidow\Saved\SaveGames and see if the save file is being deleted or recreated somehow. And if it is check to see if it's happening upon booting the game up or exiting. You can also back up the file for future use, though this isn't ideal.
Hey man, this game is amazing and i love the way you made it. if you ever want your game to have a german version, i would love to help you out as that is my mother language. This game is so amazing that i just want to make sure more people can play this. Hope you have a nice day and to hear from you :D
Oh and also what would you say to another version like this just other textures. randomice school halways and class rooms with a yandere, i mean there are a lot like this but none like the idea of this amazing game!
Thanks for the offer! I'll certainly think about it, there's not a lot of text in the game but I'm sure that some of the key hints would be useful to have in other languages.
[EDIT]
As for variations on the game's environment and themes, I might do that in a different game or circle back to this much later. My hands are full with the new game at the moment.
Would U ever do different versions like instead of the indoors version maybe a good detail foggy forest with her having some new skins or something. Would definitely pay for that as a DLC

i know your probly long gone from this game but would you think of adding a 2nd enemy to the game to make you think your plans thru
that or hazards would be cool if we had 2 enemys like a sucubus or something but hazards are probly much more easy to add
I am currently working on another game so I won't be adding anything else to HotPW. I may revisit it in the future, but I probably won't add other characters/enemies as that's kind of what I'm doing with my current project.
are you making another lewd game or is it a normal one
It's another lewd one. Similar style, but a lot larger.
hope to see it
can you say if it will be coming out soon or later
I have only one question. One of the loading screen tips said to keep an eye on the statues. I've looked at the statues many times but never noticed anything out of the ordinary so at this point I'm just curious about what that is in reference to.
It's a red herring... Or is it?
Came for porn, instead got a really good time. It was a slow start as I didn’t know how the game worked at all, but after a while of grinding I now have most of the shop items unlocked except the clothing items. This was a really good game, and I can tell a lot of work was put into it.

I'm gunna fuck that stupid mouth of yours." 10/10 will keep playing for a while. My only request now is to add more H-scenes lol 😈
Maybe this question has already been raised, and I just missed it: Is the game planned to be released on Steam or other platforms, for example GoG??
Not at the moment. I'm currently working on another game which has a Steam page already available though. After that game's finished and released, I might come back to HotPW.
The game keeps stucking.I tried many times but it didn't work.HELP ME
Downloaded the game like couple of days ago, kept playing and upgrading. I liked the grindy aspect of it so much, to the point where I forgot that this was a porn game. Unlocked NSFW without even thinking too much into it and got flashbanged by a ghost bj during purification ending.

how to unlock Freemode
You gotta get purfication first and buy it in shop
You seem to be pretty active in the comment section here. Pardon my asking friend, but are you affiliated with this game and/or the creator? I would like to get some info
Nah man I just try to answer some of the questions here, but if you got questions for the dev you can ask him in the Discord server
I don't have a Discord server. I'm just trying to find out if there is any confirmation that the characters in the game are +18. I know it's a safe bet that they are, but I would l like some clarification before I download it. Do you know if there is any?
Right now I asked the dev in dizzy if he can provide you with some kind of confirmation
Btw you only have to join the join the discord link
The dev confirmed everyone is 18+
Bro you can bunny hop it's so fun but game breaking and don't use stamina very nice game tho
She wasnt happy about this
new update?
Probably bug fixes
No new game updates. I changed the links in the description but didn't think that'd send out any notifications... sorry about that, I'll try to avoid doing that in the future.
EDIT: Sorry, I just did it again as the link expired :(
All characters are +18 right?
The characters in Halls of the Pale Widow are +18, right?
Thank you for making such a great game. The game is wonderful, with these small memory assets to make such a rich game content. Your skills are amazing, excellent programmer. By the way, your friend's voice is very good, very ethereal, your sound processing is also great. My English is not very good, once again to support. :)
Where can i find the voice actor!!
It's his/her friend that voiced the widow
hi,can you help me? i cant seem to be able to find the gun emblem or any artifact for that matter
awesome game!!, do you have discord group or something ?
Thank you! Not yet but one is in the works. I'll reply when its ready if you're interested.
Awsome!!
Just opened it up: https://discord.gg/qPgrCKPw
It's brand new so there won't be much happening yet, sadly.
Hey,remember to bring me one.😋Thank you.
https://discord.gg/qPgrCKPw
Don't expect too much yet, I just opened it.
Hi how do you get more point and fast ? Cause i just find the 5 keys and i go but only ~600-700 points
unlock purification it gives around 1500 points per purification
Thanks yo
how to use the purification?
How do I get all the h scenes without having free mode?
The two defeat scenes you get randomly and the additional three come from purification. The animation depends on where you're standing and what bodypart you're aiming at. The 6th animation in the game is only available via free mode.
this game is really good i hope it keeps getting worked on
Thanks! At the moment it's in its final version as I've moved onto a different game. But the whole concept may be revisited in the future.
How do i reset my progress ?
Go here: %LocalAppData%\HallsOfPaleWidow\Saved\SaveGames
and delete SaveGame.sav
thanks
dude your friends voice is sexy as fuck lol she should do more voice acting
I agree. I hope to bring her back for my next project.
Helloooo !
incredible, I love the game, horror and nsfw are definitely the best combo, can't wait to see ur next project (but man we really need a outfit with sum high heels or something like that)
awesome work <33
Thanks! Yeah, I can see that. Though I think High Heels would need their own system for animation and so on because there's a lot of potential with that.
yeeess ofc i understand, it could be a lot of work dw, it was just a suggestion ! :D

And how to edit a save to get money
Thanks!
Anyone else b-hop while listening to La Caution - Thé à la Menthe
Pretty good game, love the rétro and the vibe. I just have one question : Sometimes, whenever she is close or not, i hear a random ''hey'' in a totally different voice (like, not the one of the woman). Is there some sort of easter egg with this or am i going too far and its just one of her lines?

Guys, b-hop up stairs or just in general- it makes moving much faster
what do you mean by b-hop?
You can achieve incredibly high speeds by jumping, holding down crouch, and jumping as soon as you hit the ground. The timing on its pretty tricky, but it's not too bad once you get the hang of it. Bhopping also allows you to go fast without losing stamina. Also, if you wanna dodge her attacks, sprint to her right.
Asking a friend to voice a porn game is crazy, I wish that I had that level of friend
To be honest, when I asked her I was very uncertain what the reaction was going to be. But we've been friends for over 10 years and we've talked about porn plenty of times so I wasn't too concerned.
Лучшая игра в своем стиле! Очень хочу обновления
idk why but when i play the game after about 3 to 10 seconds after i move the game always freezes idk why might wana fix it dev pls?
Hmm... That is odd. Is this happening after the level generates and you get control of your character? It's the first time I've heard about this issue.
Whats the new update?
Did you get a notification? Sorry about that, someone mentioned having issues with the Itch.io app so I updated the download to work with it. There's no actual new updates.
I saw the game was recently updated and got curious
bro honestly if you kept updating this game or made something similar you'll still get a lot of good ratings, good stuff
Why i tried download it on itch.io app (the downloaded itch.io) and it said "no compatible found" ? Why ?
My bad, it should work now.
Damn, thank you so much. It's hard to find hard-working game developer like you these days.
Hey Krasue! I wanted to drop by and ask a tiny question because absolutely love this game you've made!

Thank you so much for the reply! I’ll put your advice to use.
Hey man, this game is amazing and i love the way you made it. if you ever want your game to have a german version, i would love to help you out as that is my mother language. This game is so amazing that i just want to make sure more people can play this. Hope you have a nice day and to hear from you :D

[EDIT]
As for variations on the game's environment and themes, I might do that in a different game or circle back to this much later. My hands are full with the new game at the moment.
Happy to hear, yea that was my idea. It could help german player who dont understand the hints if they qould be german version.
dont worry i will wait, just hit me up once you are interested.
Would U ever do different versions like instead of the indoors version maybe a good detail foggy forest with her having some new skins or something. Would definitely pay for that as a DLC
At the moment, no. I might circle back to this game later, but at the moment I'm working on a new game. The new game does have a forest in it, though.
