I seem to be having problems getting this game to work. I bought this with the bundle half a year ago, but didn't get around to playing this one in particular. Strangely this is the only one that won't work. I try to boot it up, and I get nothing but a blank program on my taskbar. Not even a window.
Edit: It seems that none of the games I bought on itch.io are working today for some reason.
That wasn't the problem, apparently. It seems my PC was being stupid that day. It gets stupid quite often. Games might work well one day, and the next they don't. Sometimes I have to change the in game settings of more graphically advanced games based on how my PC feels at the time. I can't explain it any better than that.
This is genuinely an amazing game, I love the atmosphere it builds up and the gameplay and story is great! My first game by you was Stay Out Of the House and I'm so glad I decided to get more
I've payied for the game with me and my mom and one of my files got deleted i guess almost a year ago i uninstalled it for some reason, could any one help me repair it? Dylannnn#0127
This game is worth playing, even if you have watched someone else play it. The scares are great, and the sounds eerie! The last level is still one of the hardest I have played in a game lol.
I know I'm late to the scene but I plan on catching up on your games! I just beat this game as my first one! I absolutely loved it. The comedy, horror, and dynamic aspects of the game were just a blast. The gun is really hard to aim but it did add more the horror element. There were a few bugs such as a red block appearing on my character at times, and if I opened a door too fast the character model get stuck outside. I thought the dialogue was my favorite part about the game. Overall, it is superb and can't believe I haven't played this game sooner.
hey, ive been digging into your games and am a big fan! im having an issue with BB. The very first time i ran the game, i was able to get it to go into fullscreen mode. now, every time since, every time i try to go fullscreen, my screen flashes, and i get tabbed out of the game onto my desktop. after that, when i try to tab back into the game, it crashes. any ideas?
hello, I have recently bought this game after seeing kubz scouts play it and I was supper motivated to buy it but once I downloaded it I was having trouble actually getting in the game. I found the troubleshoot tutorial and my first problem was that my file didnt download on google drives I of course thought nothing of it and just uploaded the file onto google drives. Then I continued with the tutorial but then I ran into my next problem, my file didnt end with .zip I again thought nothing of it and tried to continue but when I tried to open my file this popped up....The game may not work due to the fact that Im trying to download this on my laptop but anyways I tried to press the open button but it wasnt working any tips?
PuppetCombo, the game is very good even what is missing is two things, a version for Android and iOS and subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese to make it very very good♡♡
god dam ridiculous! I’ve jumped through hoops and still can’t play it. Either itch says I don’t own it (which I do!) or it says error because of “build”. This is absolutely fucking stupid it’s this difficult.
At the part where jack screams, I went to open the door and when I pressed space it blackscreened, and I was unable to select other programs by alt-tab, windows-tab, or close the game by alt-f4. After a restart my PC audio isn't working.
Thank you. I already have Direct Play enabled, though. :/ What is the difference between acknex.exe and bloodbath.exe? Whenever I click on bloodbath.exe, the computer makes a sound, but nothing opens. When I click on acknex.exe, I get the "Problem with WDL script" popup and then it closes down. My computer is updated. Power Drill Massacre works, but not this game, for some reason.
Try following the installation instructions. It's got nothing to do with directplay. You have to unzip the files before running the game. I can't give support in the comments section for obvious reasons but you can find my email on the support page: https://itch.io/support
After some issues getting it to launch and mapping the controls using XPadder, I was really enjoying it. The alternate camera options are fantastic and each do a great job of keeping the tension. There are a few angles in the "movie" option that end up just being frustrating, though- like in the liquor cabinet room- but they're generally great. I did run into a really big problem, though. Right after going into the backyard, the game crashed and locked up my computer. I couldn't close the game and had to forcibly restart my computer. I also can't seem to save the game and then be able to reload the save. It doesn't show as existing despite the act of saving getting confirmed. I really want to play more of this game, though- it has great promise so far.
Thanks for the comments. I haven't receive any other reports of the game crashing in the backyard like that, so it could be a fluke. I think most issues with the game are due to antivirus interference. Adding it to your antivirus exceptions should have. Did you press enter after typing a file name while saving?
If I remember right, I clicked a confirmation button- been a bit since I tried, sorry. I'll give it another shot today- no hurricane to interrupt this time lol
i just purchased the game and i cant play it because it says iant play babysitter cant play it just like launching the app is the problem plz help me puppet combo im a huge fan of your games i have a windows 10 laptop and i cant play babysitterbloodbath plz help me i really wanna play this game for the first time

To get the games to work on your desktop you have to create a shortcut of the program file.
(extract the files again if the program/.exe file is missing)

Very cool game
I love the puppet combo game.
My game crashes during the opening credits after the designed by portion? Does anyone know why that might be?
I'm not sure but please try the tips here: http://puppetcombo.com/troubleshooting
pinky is it an "E" on yours as well because everytime i download it the game pops up as an internet icon & wont even play or open
i can´t play in full screen,
Go to options and change the video from window to full screen. That’s what helped me.
Still one of my favorite gameplays!
Finally made a vid for this seminal classic. Love your work!

Hello I had a problem similar to this what fixed the problem for me was to download a free version of Winrar
We really enjoyed playing & discussing Babysitter Bloodbath on Indie Game Club (it’s like a book club for indie games)!
You can watch the video here:
Twitch + Facebook + YouTube
Keep up with Indie Game Club from POTIONS & PIXELS here:

We are going through the itch.io Bundle for Racial Justice and Equality!
This is good stuff!
at the beginning. After asking for the parent's phone number, the dialogue options come up but they're not clickable.
How can I download your game?

I can't seem to gt the game to run in full screen despite selecting that option. Is it something with my computer or is the game bugging out?

Hi there, are you planning on any more physical copy runs for your games?
There will be a new one coming soon.
