Anyone Knows all recipes to make traps, like, i dont know how use cream pie

Time to say what someone else has probably already said and hope the dev takes note!

Okay so, very nice game for starters. The gameplay was pretty cool,I liked trapping people and comboing them but I think some things could be changed. For one, an easier way to tell which NPC is which (like an in-game thesaurus for their sprites cuz sometimes it's hard to remember which specific NPC you've already trapped). Secondly, wish there was wasd/arrow key movement instead of click to move. Sometimes click to move and then clicking a trap makes it feel needlessly annoying for lack of better description. Thirdly, the scenes were pretty nice, but like pretty much everyone said more would be better. If not an update to the game for like dlc content or something itd be nice for a second game in like a different location. Because this game feels like map 1 of however many, y'know? 

Anyways have a great rest of your day night or whenever you could possibly be reading this, if I said anything that was rude I apologize in advance, stay safe out there!

So... I bought it on Steam and beat it in a few hours. I have somewhat mixed feelings. 

I like the premise and the gameplay loop, it's really fun to execute a big combo to piss off your target, but I feel like this game is severely lacking something.

For one thing, the content (especially the gallery content) is quite limited, even compared to Salvor's Deep. There isn't a lot of variety and the narrow screen you get to watch them on doesn't help with the immersion. Those are good animations at least.

The gameplay loop itself is surprisingly tedious. It can take you dozens of tries to annoy a single target to a sufficient degree until they chase you. Even with a proper combo of almost 30, I could not get the Vice-CEO to snap. Had to unlock her through "Hard Mode". 

Combining different items to invent new tools is very fun, but I feel like there isn't a huge variety of them. Even the rarer tools that can only be found once in forever, like the bug zapper or the wobble board, are rarely worth it as their effects can be easily replicated with crap you can find in the office. I found myself relying on very repetitive strategies as a result.

The plot is still extremely bare. There is very little in terms of plot progression or dialogue (one again using Salvor's Deep as the reference point), maybe two cutscenes, and once you beat the game, you just get a "Thank you for playing" screen. No conclusion to anything. 

Overall, this feels like a demo, or a beta version of what should be a fixed game. For 5$ it's definitely worth it, but I find myself longing for something more because I can see all the elements that could be more complex, and it drives me nuts that this game has undeveloped potential. Maybe a few big updates would make it better?

Bought the game on steam its actually super fun 2 things

1 i wish the scenes could be on a bigger window

2 after beating the game i wish there where more scenes 

but still great job on this game!

Got my hands on a full build of the game, and if I were to be frank, it still feels like an underbaked demo rather than a finished product. As someone who has played Trapt and the rest of the Deception series, to say that I'm terribly disappointed despite the promising premise is an understatement.

I have... QUITE the choice words about my experience, that I feel like would be too long for an Itch.io comment, so I'll link my full critiques here in a doc.

for some reason dialogue is being cut off in the intro cutscene, I'm not getting the first line of dialogue for Bibi on the top, nor the last line of dialogue for the boss on the bottom. I have a standard 4k monitor, but I don't see any display settings to mess with for the game either. I don't remember this being a problem in the demo though. Nothing else seems to be getting cut off at least.

Well, the text is also pretty small. I can make things work by switching to windowed, then changing the window size and using lossless scaling to keep that resolution when I full screen. 4k definitely doesn't seem to scale right though lol Maybe on an ultra widescreen it calibrates right, but doesn't seem right for a 16:9

Question do you know when the steam page for the game gonna be up?

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but enemies feel too tanky. Interns get mad with a single item (1 infamy point?), but I am unable to anger the rest of the workers. I have spent whole days and dozens of resources on a SINGLE guy, and he just takes the hits and walks away. I have realized the soap gives no infamy points so I have stopped using it.

I'm not sure if it's my problem or the game's, but I truly don't know how to anger these dudes. Does the infamy reset between combos? days? I have no idea, I try making 8+ trap combos on what I think is an IT guy who I had pranked called, and still nothing.

As for feedback with what I have said:

• I think we should be able to see how much infamy each item gives, to calculate the combos better.
• Along with the above point, maybe being able to see how much infamy each worker requires to be angered would be nice, at least not to spend your resources if someone requires like 100 infamy to anger.
• I also think there should be some kind of portrait on the hit list before you get the blackmail, to know which worker to target (for example if you have pranked called), though I can understand if part of the game design was having the player deducing who is doing each job

I really think the game is good (I also really enjoy your other games), but I really can't believe anything else but that there is some bug with the infamy required to anger the workers. Hope you can find it and fix it <3

ah i cant buy with paypal, guess I'll be getting another alt account in steam,

edit: wait its not on steam yet?! y must i suffer, is it possible to add other payment gateways that accept debit card like stripe?

edit 2: just found out i can purchase with paypal as guest, bad news is i accidentally re-purchased salvor deep, since im not seeing a refund button guess I'll just consider that as a tip for you, thanks for the hard work

I AM SO HAPPY OMG :3
Time to buy here and give on steam to my friends >:3c

Love the concept. Though I don't know if the full version has it, but by god bro😭, please include a way to control the player character via keyboard a la Helltaker. 

I don't know how many times I've lost because I couldn't drag the camera fast enough or because Bibi walked back during a chase. And maybe a stop time, slow down or fast forward feature given that this is pretty tactical.

Is there a Chinese version?

CANT WAIT TO GET IT BY STEAM!!!

A bit off topic, but will there ever be a sequel to Salvor Deep? Love your artstyle and this game looks very promising!

what time is the release today? super excited, loved salvor deep really interesting game.

will it be on steam ?

Como puedo comprar la version actual del juego? para poder jugar que no sea la demo

When will I be able to play the full version of the game?

any updates on the progress of the game?

Just a question, all I see is the demo, but there is a price listed.  Is there a full version or just the demo?

Great stuff so far! Can't wait to see how this game will turn out.

But there's one thing I don't get. What does the dotted black figure mean after you left-click and drag?

By the way, I'd love to see an idle / walking / setting-up-trap animation of our protagonist on screen, kinda like the camera footage when you collect evidence. I know, making art and animations takes time and it is still very early in development. Merely a suggestion for future updates! :p

when will be the next update about development?

When will the game be officially released?

so the games good but i cant buy the full version? it just shows the download for the dem

This is very cool conceptually. Could do with a couple things I think might make it more fun.

Perhaps instead of ONLY being able to see what happens if you bring them to a camera, what if you only got CREDIT towards progression if you bring them towards a camera?

Also I think this game would benefit from more stats. Perhaps a corruption and lust metric. You can be lazy about it and just have that influence dialogue during the actual scenes, but it would go a long way to create depth and encourage more playing with the game.

Overall I'm very much looking forward to this.

I found a trash can that gave me infinite marbles and filled the building it was so epic also marbles can go through walls

will there be a Mac version?

there isnt an option for me to purchase on itch, how do i buy the full game?

what should i do on the task six? i checked all trach cans

Stoked for this one. It's a fantastic concept.

I did find a visual bug. It happens if you spam Bibi's chair to pass time. The clock gets bigger and bigger, eventually filling the screen. It can also become permanent. If it becomes permanent it can also persist to the title screen which can make it impossible to see anything.

This is what the title screen looks like with the bug active.

I'm very glad about this one, but is there be an option to not show futanari? It would be very nice if there is one. Thank you!

when do you think you will be able to release the full game

I really enjoy the little details with the text and walk animations. I would love an ending where she makes enemies out of everyone in the office causing them to make her predictions at the start of game look like understatements by turning her into the office sex toy and unlocking a "dungeon mode," where you can play all of the lewd animations. I also hope this brat gets many spankings and people get revenge on her bullying with wedgies, swirlies, and other classic bullying methods.

Demo looking good so far! I like the trap-chaining style of gameplay.

I played the demo and tbh is everything I spected, idk if it has been commented or if it is an idea delusria has but I think it would be fun to have abilities like a "sprint" move X amount of space but only for a day or on a cooldown, this is mostly because I had pervs chasing me and capture me on either the corner or just one space behind the camera (This also might be a skill issue from my side).

The camera movement is kinda weird?? I aint complaining but I think to have the WASD keys also move the camera would be a nice add

Since the map is relatively big maybe a zoom out option can be useful to see where ppl are (maybe as an in-game camera system or just for gameplay)

I know I probably sound like a backseater but don't get me wrong I can't wait for the full release and give mony :)

Could I get a pause button?

Intro is fantastic, beautifully and simply cut, all items and icons are unique, colors are vivid, audio is great :3 It is truly worth waiting and I can already say that this will be amazing game < 3

There is a thing I do not understand yet completely - gameplay, do scenes in front of camera vary depending on combo score or employee type or angry employee number?

Secondly, the demo features only one camera as far as I understand?
