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
All the voice acting in the game was done by my friend. I'm assuming that's what your question was asking. I'm glad you like it and I'll pass that on to her.
Thanks, there will be a bit of a wait as it's still in early development. I just made a post over on Twitter and Patreon about it so, if you haven't already, you can get an idea of the direction I'm taking with it.
Hey there, a friend of mine mentioned this - It looks right up my alley, and really well-designed. Unfortunately, for whatever reason the game causes my GPU -
A NVIDIA 2070 Super
- to go absolutely wild, reaching 60C+ which is definitely not sustainable. Nothing else I've got currently does this, including games which have a lot more graphical rendering going on. (If not as fun to roam in!)
I know you're currently at work on other projects, but I was wondering if there was a log I could send your way.
Regardless, great work, and best of luck with your next project!
(Thought I had it solved, but apparently not. :/ Tried setting Framerate to 30 FPS, but it still just keeps climbing. So it goes I guess.)
Have you tried the other Direct X bat files? 2070 super should support DX12, which this game uses by default, but see if either DX11 or DX10 works.
I was aware of some GPU hiking issues back when the game first released, but 1.0.8 fixed said issues. At least according for the people who originally flagged them. Sadly, due to the differences in hardware, I can't say for sure what is or isn't the problem.
For me at least, the game climbs to about 15% GPU load and the temperatures stay quite low. A log won't really help if it's a hardware issue, which it might be if it's only on your machine. If you do come up with any theories, though, I'd like to hear them. I don't plan on switching engine so now's the best time to try and squash issues like this so they don't come up in future releases.
Just to let you know, I've been playing around with options and can sometimes get it stable. I almost feel like it's something to do with some or another particle effect... But I can't say that. Regardless, I've managed to get it stable enough - DX12 version, 60FPS, full rendering - That I've been able to play a few matches, and it's a pity I can't give any other advice because it's absolutely great. Didn't realise how much of a maze-running procedural hole was in my heart until the last few days, haha. And, y'know... If the Widow wants to get re-married, aye. Yeah. Definitely.
More seriously, don't have any other big theories. Will try to keep an eye on your work and support it later so that when you release next, I can see if I can pinpoint anything. I'll post here if I figure out what it is, even if the end result is 'yep, just a hardware issue' so you can cross it off the list. Best!
The game is great, but could you change the footstep audio of the widow so that we can know the direction of her?(I know you can see where she at after unlocking show on the map feature, but it would be a lot easier for ppl who haven't unlock it to know where she is.)
there is a trick to never have your stamina finish. You can press M to open map and press shift at the same time and you stamina should replenish without getting you in danger.
It's possible that this is really happening on unreal engine games, I recently downloaded the game and it seems to be on it too, and it absolutely does not run the same way. The process also does not have time to appear.
just a small question i just recently got the NSFW mode activated and now i want to know. how do i get more scenes other than the cowgirl and blowjob scene
idk if i ever mentioned but could you change the freeroam mode to be less hostile while making a normal mode version where at the end of any sexual encounter she kills us inside the arena
but in free mode maybe she fakes the kill and then places her blade next to our head while resting her head against our chest or leg if shes giving us a blow job
I probably won't be making any changes like that at the moment. The reason the animations in free mode are the same as in the main game is simply to save time and not have to animate the same animation again with a different ending or intro.
Thanks! There's not really an algorithm in mind, it's more or less completely random. Each room and hallway (let's say tiles) has connection points with open geo (no walls or anything) then the level gets made by connecting each tile via the connection points.
Depending on the state of the connection point, it then fills in the gap with a doorway (if it's connecting) or a wall (If there's nothing connecting.) If you're interested, Doom (2016)'s snapmap uses a similar tile system just without the procedural generation.
hey, currently playing the game at the moment and I really have to say this is an absolute master piece! I'm sure you've probably already heard this but the mix of horror and lewd content is such a divine mix! I haven't gotten to any of the NSFW yet (mainly here just so I can express my gratitude and also calm down a bit) but anyways I really love the game and I'll be waiting for more updates!!!!
Thanks for the kind words! It's one of my favourite mixes as well and I hope to continue making more games with these themes. I hope you enjoy the NSFW content when you get to it.
That would be beyond perfect!, I'll be sure to keep an eye out for your next games/updates! and to answer your other reply, I've already figured out! I was fully invested and bought every single thing that I could! including the skins as well!
Thanks! Yeah, I've noticed that the maps can get unwieldly. I'll probably be taking a look at procedural generation again with my next game and keep in mind most of the critiques from this one.
Damn!Is there any chanse you add any footjob scene?
By the way, the game is really good. For a long time I wanted something so dark, but at the same time like this :D I hope there is a lot of content in the plans so that the game can be replayed
Great update, Krasue! I'm just wondering, is the reverse cowgirl animation only accessible in free mode? I've got the bj animations, but I can't seem to access the reverse cowgirl after defeating her with the medallion. Also, are the defeat animations randomly chosen upon being caught, or do they depend on how she catches you, like from the front or behind?
Thanks! The defeat animations are selected randomly and the reverse cowgirl animation can only be seen in freemode. I couldn't contextually make the reverse cowgirl animation work. Only downside I suppose is that you can't see the animation in the dimly hallways of the main game.
Overall, awesome game :) Great visuals, great sound design, fun gameplay loop. Personally I'd like to see additional difficulties since the game can get very easy after a couple rounds + something to make exploring (as well as escaping the hunter) more interesting like traps, bit more objects like furniture in the level, some (rare) dedicated hiding spots... stuff like that. I'm also a fan of customization options to even more extend the possibilities & challenge yourself... Thanks for making this & all the best for your future projects!
I'm glad you like it! I've received a lot of feedback on difficulty but as some people say it's too hard and some people say it's too easy, I figured it was fine as is. I probably won't be extending this particular game all that much but I may revisit the core ideas in the future.
How tf did i not find this game sooner, it's absolutely fantastic! If you're a erotic horror fan this is a must play. Already joined patreon and i will watch your career with great interest!
I know you said you'd make one more update and move on to your next project, which I can't wait to see, but could you maybe change the map a bit? like.. you can make the map in layers sort of, like in resident evil, so that it's a bit easier to see the layout of the floors, because you'd normally just walk into a dead end thinking there's a hallway or something. and also, I was wondering if maybe you could add a futa skin too or something?
It's possible to set up a multi-level map but as it would take time away from my next main project, I probably won't do that at this moment in time. In the future, maybe. If my next project utilizes a map, then I can make a better map system there and then carry it across later.
Oh my god, this game is just fire, as soon as I saw it I went to download it, I love horror games where you have to collect all sorts of things to escape from the killer, the gameplay is simply amazing, there are no words for how wonderful it is, reminds me of “dark deception”only more perverted I hope you don't abandon this game because it has potential that would be a shame to lose.
Thanks. I won't update the game again anytime soon but I'm not leaving the horror genre either. I may revisit this in the future as, fundamentally, it's a simple concept that can be expanded upon.
It's a common point of critique. I don't plan on updating the game anytime soon as I'm now knee-deep in laying the foundations for my next game. But as I do share stuff across games, I might be able to make a better map system and carry it across later.
Thanks! Keys give 50 points each and you get points on completion. If all you do is collect keys, you won't get very many points. Purification (has to be unlocked first) will give you the most points and escape (default) will give you varying points based on how fast you complete the run.
There's a guide in the description that may help. There are also some additional items that will be added to the game that may also help in the update coming soon.
I rarely comment, but holy crap this game's fantastic. I love the movement, the style, the more erotic moments, it's awesome. Biggest complaint is that there isn't more of it.

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.

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
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.
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.
Where can I find the female audio I think it's cool
All the voice acting in the game was done by my friend. I'm assuming that's what your question was asking. I'm glad you like it and I'll pass that on to her.
Can't wait for the next game man
Thanks, there will be a bit of a wait as it's still in early development. I just made a post over on Twitter and Patreon about it so, if you haven't already, you can get an idea of the direction I'm taking with it.

That I've been able to play a few matches, and it's a pity I can't give any other advice because it's absolutely great.

Best!
I don't know which key to press to pick up items and interact with the door
Keyboard E used for interactive doors or props on the ground
Thank you.
The game is great, but could you change the footstep audio of the widow so that we can know the direction of her?(I know you can see where she at after unlocking show on the map feature, but it would be a lot easier for ppl who haven't unlock it to know where she is.)
Her footsteps and taunts are directional already, unless you're talking about something else.
I'm certain the taunts is, but the footsteps doesn't sounds directional to me though. Anyway, thanks for the reply.
Fantastic game, genuinely cheered when I Escaped first try ahaha. The gameplay was so fun I forgot it had NSFW!
Very excited to see your future projects!
Thank you!
there is a trick to never have your stamina finish. You can press M to open map and press shift at the same time and you stamina should replenish without getting you in danger.
i will try,thanks
The game won't start. The process doesn't even look like it. If he appears, it will be for a moment that I don’t even see him
Strange, do you get this with other Unreal Engine games? It might be an issue with prerequisite runtimes.
I don’t remember this happening to anything else, but if you have any advice on how to fix it, I’ll be very glad.
It's possible that this is really happening on unreal engine games, I recently downloaded the game and it seems to be on it too, and it absolutely does not run the same way. The process also does not have time to appear.
Is there a version for Android?
Unfortunately not.
man keep geting my self lost in this place (an open map in the corner so something would be lovely) also wtfym watch the statues
just a small question i just recently got the NSFW mode activated and now i want to know. how do i get more scenes other than the cowgirl and blowjob scene
You unlock more scenes with Free Mode and Purification (if you defeat her).
idk if i ever mentioned but could you change the freeroam mode to be less hostile while making a normal mode version where at the end of any sexual encounter she kills us inside the arena
but in free mode maybe she fakes the kill and then places her blade next to our head while resting her head against our chest or leg if shes giving us a blow job
I probably won't be making any changes like that at the moment. The reason the animations in free mode are the same as in the main game is simply to save time and not have to animate the same animation again with a different ending or intro.
Hopefully there is an Android version
I like the visual aesthetic a lot! Really enjoyed wondering in the environment.
I'm studying the topic of procedural generation atm, what's the algorithm you used for this project?
Thanks! There's not really an algorithm in mind, it's more or less completely random. Each room and hallway (let's say tiles) has connection points with open geo (no walls or anything) then the level gets made by connecting each tile via the connection points.

awsome game but sometimes i get buggy doors that apper i cant open them
Thanks and yeah, it's a known issue. I may fix it at some point in the future but for now, it's not game-breaking. It is annoying, though.

amazing game man, amazing update also, can't wait for future games of yours or updates for this one, gonna keep waiting and hyping your work
Thanks!
Is this game played using an apk? I want to download it, it looks good
Damn!Is there any chanse you add any footjob scene?
By the way, the game is really good. For a long time I wanted something so dark, but at the same time like this :D I hope there is a lot of content in the plans so that the game can be replayed
Thank you! For now, the game won't receive updates as I'm working on a new project but after that, I may revisit it.
Great update, Krasue! I'm just wondering, is the reverse cowgirl animation only accessible in free mode? I've got the bj animations, but I can't seem to access the reverse cowgirl after defeating her with the medallion.

Could be me but I just really suck at it. She always seems to find me and from the moment I got spotted I never seem to get rid of her.
and somehow read the update to fast and was like oh nice a titfuck scene
took me quite a bit to re-read to figure out it was 2x blowjob xD
in general neat game
A titty fuck animation would be cool
How tf did i not find this game sooner, it's absolutely fantastic! If you're a erotic horror fan this is a must play. Already joined patreon and i will watch your career with great interest!
Thank you!
the update goes hard. love your stuff!!
Thanks!
I know you said you'd make one more update and move on to your next project, which I can't wait to see, but could you maybe change the map a bit? like.. you can make the map in layers sort of, like in resident evil, so that it's a bit easier to see the layout of the floors, because you'd normally just walk into a dead end thinking there's a hallway or something. and also, I was wondering if maybe you could add a futa skin too or something?

Haha, I'm still writing the update post.
Literally can't wait for the next update dawg

Thanks. I won't update the game again anytime soon but I'm not leaving the horror genre either. I may revisit this in the future as, fundamentally, it's a simple concept that can be expanded upon.
good game, hope you make the map better though because its really hard to read.
It's a common point of critique. I don't plan on updating the game anytime soon as I'm now knee-deep in laying the foundations for my next game. But as I do share stuff across games, I might be able to make a better map system and carry it across later.
ah that's fair, looking forward to your next game though :D
when to expect a new update ?
Sometime this week, hopefully.
How are points distributed? I spent half an hour and collected 4 keys only to get 200 points? I can't buy anything with that.
Besides that, awesome game!
Thanks! Keys give 50 points each and you get points on completion. If all you do is collect keys, you won't get very many points. Purification (has to be unlocked first) will give you the most points and escape (default) will give you varying points based on how fast you complete the run.
Amazing Game! I wish there were more H scenes but I had a lot of fun!
Thanks! There will be more H scenes soon!
please create wiki for this game . i dont understand what to do and what i buy in shop
There's a guide in the description that may help. There are also some additional items that will be added to the game that may also help in the update coming soon.
I rarely comment, but holy crap this game's fantastic. I love the movement, the style, the more erotic moments, it's awesome. Biggest complaint is that there isn't more of it.
Thanks! Hoping to update the game next week with more content before moving onto my next project.
