Hi. Really a nice throwback game, I quite enjoyed it. But I would have enjoyed it even more if it had controller support. I mean you are basically emulating PSX games like Silent Hill or Resident Evil, right? Tank controls are better with a gamepad imho...
Sadly it doesn't recognize it when i try to map the gamepad buttons. I'm using a DualShock 3 Controller, but with a driver that is emulating a XBox Controller so it should regognize it as such....
Hi, *Not Spam BTW* but I'd suggest you use a program called Xpadder to map your controller. It's like 10$ and it'll take a little time to get used to it but it's worth it. You can map any USB input device to any game. I've used it to map thrusters and throttles to Kerbal Space Program and Lunar Flight and my friend has used it to map World of Warcraft to an Xbox controller. Although I wouldn't recommend the latter lol. I'm just saying it's possible.
Hey, Puppet Combo. I'm not sure whether if this right or not, but it appears that Webroot, my anti-virus says this game, particularly "bloodbath.exe" is malware. Is this a mistake due to how the game is coded or something?
Yeah, it's a false positive. Since it's basically a Windows 98 game, some modern computers freak out and wonder why the hell you're trying to run it and assume it's a virus.
I guess that thread was deleted. It's pretty simple though, you would have to manually set your resolution in Windows before you play. 1024x786 or 800x600 would work. You could also play in Windowed mode for the correct resolution.
Dang maybe I will have to play in windowed mode, because even after I change my resolution, things stretch out when playing fullscreen. I wanted to be fullscreen so I could record while playing and have it look correct in the video, but I don't know if that's possible?
I have tried everything in the readme, everything I've read on here and the troubleshooting page to get this game to launch in Windows 10 and it just won't launch. I was really looking forward to playing it.
Same here :(. When I try to open bloodbath.exe, it says I don't have the appropriate permissions. But when I look at the file properties, it says I'm the owner. I also can't add bloodbathexe to Data Execution Prevention exceptions as it gives a permission error.
I'm not sure what the problem is. I've verified the game does launch in Windows 10 with DirectPlay on the average computer (I've tested the game on several of my friends laptops and have gotten it to launch on all of them) so there may be some sort of configuration or even antivirus issue on certain systems that I haven't personally come across.
I tried to disable the antivirus completely, but in Windows 10 that can be tricky and kind of difficult to do completely, but I still can't get it. I appreciate you trying to pinpoint what's going on. I may be able to try it on a different computer soon.
The itchio app has a bug with doesn't let you install the game. To play you'll need to download the RAR file from your library: https://itch.io/my-collections . There's nothing I can actually do about this, since the app is the problem. Somebody at itchio would need to fix it. I've sent support emails but I've never received a response.
My babysitter spins counter-clockwise in place during the opening dialogue and then runs in circles as soon as I have control. This is with all default settings. Even if I change the button mappings it keeps happening. Is there something I can do to get it working?
Sure enough, went digging and found the ghost device. Thank you for the help!! Games awesome, the 3 camera angles used at -that part- tied in so well with the forced camera angles of the psx era. Really sharp work
I've tried installing the game through the Itch.io app but at always fails before the download finishes. It shows a message that says "runtime error: index out of range." Do you have any idea how to fix this?

Amo este videojuego desde que salio en su venta estuve jugando luego a la demo del powerdrillmassacre me alegro que hagan mas videojuegos nuevos.Thank you for all puppet combo
These games made me sign up for Patreon and become a Patron. There are many copycats out there, but there's nothing close to the allure of Puppet Combo games.
i love making videos on pupprt combo games so far ive only done Feed Me Billy and Night Shift im definetly plannig on playing and recording this game:)
I have just bought the game with a lot of enthusiasm but when i click on new game the game closes. I have already sent an email asking for something else to the email ben[at]puppetcombo.com but nobody answer back so i am writing here for someone to answer me.
It would be wonderful if I could get any solution to this issue. Also please, answer back the email that i have sent to you Puppet Combo
I have searched the answer of the email in all the options of gmail but I did not find it. I think that I can not received your emails. I would like to ask you two questions and I think that the only option is with theese comments in itch.io. If you think that it exists another better option, please say it to me if not I would ask you my questions in this comment.
Hi, I did not receive an email from you. You can email, or message me on twitter or instagram. I can not give tech support in a comment section, sorry.
I wouldn't be able to answer that without details. Won't let me launch is too vague for me to diagnose the issue. I would need to know what you're doing to launch the game and what specifically is happening.
So the problem is I downloaded it not with the pack and everytime I install it nothing happens. My dad tried helping me trying to extract it with 7zip and what not. It just won't work. It refuses to Launch everytime I download it, like I said everytime I install it. Nothing will happen. Please HELP.
The game is playable if you download the RAR file directly from this page, but it does not work if you try to install it through the itchio app. I've emailed itchio about it and they completely ignore me. They would need to fix it on their app.

Just absolutely terrifying. I'll probably never beat the game due too not being brave enough to repeatedly face the reveal haha.
What was Jill’s number again? Do I have to restart the game to get it? Edit: Checked a YouTube playthrough, it’s 555-8345.
How do you get this game running on Windows 10?
Edit: And DirectPlay is not the problem, trying to launch the game from its folder turns direct play on if its turned off.
I can't save my Game. I try to fix 3hr later... I need to know what the file type is for the saves?

Thank you. It does actually have controller support. Have you tried mapping a controller?

Its upstairs in the kid's bedroom in the corner with the commode.

Ahh, I see. Thanks for the response. That's basically what I thought it was.
Like the Halloween movies but Myers jumpscares you by appearing from seemingly nowhere more than ever.
Is there another recommended guide to getting this to display correctly on wide monitors? The Steam link doesn't actually take me to a thread. :(
I guess that thread was deleted. It's pretty simple though, you would have to manually set your resolution in Windows before you play. 1024x786 or 800x600 would work. You could also play in Windowed mode for the correct resolution.

Has anyone had any luck with this one and wine/linux? I installed directplay via winetricks, but acknex.exe crashes.

no matter what i try i cannot get this game to launch, i click it and doesnt do anything, ive even extracted it with 7zip
Hi! Please try http://puppetcombo.com/troubleshooting
i dont even get those options :(, i cant even start it in the browse
YESSSSSSS I FIGURED IT OUTTTT <3
For others who have the same problem, could you explain your solution?
What did you do to fix it?
I can't install the game: runtime error: index out of range :(
Also, cannot download from this page.
I sent a report, hopefully this'll help. :P

That's really sad I was looking foreword to playing this game
On Windows 10 the game may need DirectPlay to function. Try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XYyGB-Tn3g
Recenly bought the bundle and I didn't know that it has this incredible game in it. :D
My babysitter spins counter-clockwise in place during the opening dialogue and then runs in circles as soon as I have control. This is with all default settings. Even if I change the button mappings it keeps happening. Is there something I can do to get it working?
Do you have a gamepad or joystick plugged into your computer? If so, unplugging or disconnecting that may fix it.
No joypad plugged in. Just the keyboard
I'm not sure what's wrong then. I'm guessing there's an input device somewhere that the game is detecting, even if it's not plugged in.
Sure enough, went digging and found the ghost device. Thank you for the help!!
Games awesome, the 3 camera angles used at -that part- tied in so well with the forced camera angles of the psx era. Really sharp work
Glad you fixed it!
hello i have the same problem but i dont know where to look for the ghost devic

"To play you'll need to download the RAR file directly from this page."
What about if you got it from a bundle? Are you unable to download the Rar directly from this page if that's the case?
It should be in your library and able to be downloaded: https://itch.io/my-collections
An amazing experience to play!
great game
I cant open the game on my windows 10 and my windows 7 laggs to much to play. What do i do?
Excues me sir, I tried to send an email and it says that the email does not exist... What do I do?
