Just finished the game, I really, really enjoyed it! It was much more than I was expecting, that's really all I can say without spoiling anything. Great music, character design and artwork! Thank you for all the work that went into this.
For anyone who can't play due to the persistent data, here's how to fix it.
Open the directory where you have the game's executable. Open the 'game' directory. Open the file 'script.rpy' in the text editor of your choice. Locate line 254 and 255. It should look like below:
if persistent.its_over == True:
return
Edit it so it looks like this:
if persistent.its_over == True:
$ persistent._clear(False)
return
This will make it so you clear all of the saved data when you run the game. You will have to click Start twice, once to run the new code and a second to start the game.
Unfortunately, I think this goes against what the author was intending, but it will let you play until an official fix is made.
Edit - It's probably obvious, but I'll say it anyway - you need to save the 'script.rpy' file before running the game.
It's a nice cute game but sadly I made the mistake of not making a hard save so once I couldn't press start anymore I tried to unzip the game then found files in my computer from the game a deleted those too but it still won't let me play again I deleted the auto saves too so now I have a game I can't play ever again and I feel abit bad now. Is there anything I could do to make the game fully reset so I could play from the begining?
Oh okay thanks I found out like some others posted above you had to delete persistent data and a security key in the previous version 1.0 I'd guess not being able to play after getting the creepy or bad end were Nox makes the world unable to be accessed was meant to be part of the scare factor. Still it's nice you when and made it replayable even after this fact a short game yes but it has it's charm
might be an issue, spoilers . > . > . > . > . > . > . you can still run saves/autosaves after the bad ending? loved the new direction this game took though ^^
I honestly really love games that are "not what it seems", Nox and the candyland in general feels bizarre and out of place, and the uh.. face Nox made at one point threw me off aha
Nox gives me Monika from ddlc vibes with how he broke the fourth wall and talked to me directly, and it's interesting that my stomachache conveniently goes away as soon as he went to find something to help with it.. Some lore, perhaps?
In general, i liked the game's weirdness and horror, and how you used persistent data so the game remembers the bad ending and doesnt let you play anymore, even after reinstalling it. (I think that's how you did it, im still learning so-)
I hope Nox will forgive me for saying i didnt love him back..

Hmm... I'm not sure! It's unlikely, but not completely improbable! ^_^

This fix should (hopefully) no longer be necessary. But thank you for being so helpful!

even after the bad ending I still feel awful about being mean to Nox X_X
Gave it a Let's Play, though I was in pain
Oh no, I hope Nox didn't cause you physical pain! Hahah! I had SO much fun watching your video! Thank you for playing!! ^_^

you can still run saves/autosaves after the bad ending?
loved the new direction this game took though ^^
Yeah, that is true! I didn't wanna make the game totally unplayable!
(It definitely isn't because I didn't know how to get rid of that XD)
I'm glad you enjoyed!!

I hope Nox will forgive me for saying i didnt love him back..Thank you! It's funny you say that, I was a little bit reminded of Monika when I was making Nox! Hahah!
I did indeed use persistent data! Although... I didn't know it was possible to remember data even after reinstallation!
Maybe the bad ending is a little more bad than I anticipated it being...!
