Just playing the game for the first time. So far I've died twice at the red guy and have had to start over from the beginning of that section. I know this game was put out awhile ago, buuuut... if there was an autosave after entering that room, where the red guy comes out and attacks you, that would be very helpful lol. Just a suggestion of course!
Hi, i've been having trouble getting this to run on Debian. Any suggestions? i'm so pumped to play, i'm getting a windows laptop soon but i'd love to be able to get the glass staircase to run on debian.
Dunno if you still have this issue, but I'm running Pop OS and I had to switch the game to windowed mode before it wouldn't crash when i clicked "new game"
The game keeps crashing on me. When i walk through a room, when the intercom comes on. Right from the beginning. The game is unplayable..... why is this happening? Kinda want a refund if it cant be fixed
EDIT: Nevermind.... if i run it on low graphics it doesnt crash. idk.... it doesnt look as pretty but the story is pretty intriguing.
I just purchased the game and I can't even get past the start screen when I select new game. I followed the read me. Are there certain PC specs this game needs to run?
EDIT: Looks like I had to low the quality on my other PC. I'll have to use my gaming rig for this.
I can no longer access the options menu during gameplay. When I press ESC it just pauses the game and no menu pops up. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Nothing I try works to get the game working properly again.
I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to playing computer games but can I use my PS3 controller for this? It's plugged it but it doesn't work. It works for emulated games. Forgive my ignorance. How can I play this with a PS3 controller? Is it even possible?
Absolutely. Puppet Combo was super accessible on Twitter and responded right away and was a big help in me playing this game. I'm not a savvy computer gamer (I'm one of those dreaded console gamers) but I wanted to check this game out due to my love of ps1/ps2 era survival horror games. I'm glad I checked it out.
my ps4 controller seems to work fine at the main menu but it isn't recognized once i'm in game, and all the controller mapping features within the options are grayed out. any help would be appreciated! stunning looking game!
I can't remap the controls. I want to switch the positioning of run and action, on a 360 controller, and when I do, it shows in the menu that it has changed, but the actual controller inputs remain default.
Thanks for the quick reply, I forgot to check this site for a response. I made a membership for this game, so I forgot it existed, lol. I wasn't able to fix the controller issue, but I beat the game anyway. I think you did a great job on it.
Had a slight problem where the second to last boss would not come down so I could fight him, but it's alright. I'm glad there were key bindings for a PS4 controller. That made the whole experience a lot more fun.
Here is part 2 of my playthrough of The Glass Staircase. It actually got more terrifying! Not really as terrifying as your other games but it's still pretty terrifying!
Not much of a fan of the whole gameplay, especially the rifle aim. I know you've already patched it but it's still a bit of a problem lol
Played this game and I am loving it! Although, I have been focusing more on the atmosphere and not on the story. This is why I start getting a little "bored". Next time, I will have a different approach of attitude when playing this game.
Oh I think I know why, the Google Drive link had just the x86 version and not the x86-64 version ... but now I'm not on Patreon anymore :'( this is sad...
Hi, I imagine any mac from the past 5 years would be able to run it fine. One of my problems with doing mac version, is not actually owning one to test it. But refund is always an option if it doesn't run on your system.

9/10
This is such a dumb question but what are all the controls for the game?
Check the menu you can find the controller mapping.

Wich program did you use to make this game?
I think they used unity?
love the classic ps2 feel to this game!
Survival Horror для Русских Пацанов!!!

A video of The Riverside Incident to give you an idea of other great puppet combo games!
I bought this game,how can I get it?
You should see a button that says download. Follow that.
nowhere can find the download
It should be listed in https://itch.io/my-collections
If not, you can email support@itch.io for help with downloading.
Are there multiple endings?
No, just one.
Just curious, how long is the gameplay?
About an hour and a half to two hours.
Oh thanks! :o)
I bought this to play on mac, but it won't install. Or if I use Itch/io installer it doesn't start
Hi please email me: ben[at]puppetcombo.com so I can help you with the issue.
Hi, thanks for the reply. Turns out it just needed the resolution lowered. Thanks. Really enjoying the game.
why are there zero audio setting? or am i just crazy? how do i fix this?
I didn't think it needed one since you can adjust the volume on your speakers

Yes the game may have difficulty in normal settings on integrated graphics cards. Playing in low quality should run fine.
I'm wondering are you doing the games alone or do you have a small team?
Other than the bunch of notes, the game is a masterpiece <3 Thank you for letting us mortals play it.

And I almost forgot, you just gorgeous game continue in the same spirit, Russia approves :D
Thanks!
I think Devolver Digital would love it they love games with this genre and with the old or pixel graphics
Great game. Thanks for supporting Linux!
How do I save?
It saves automatically at checkpoints.

NOTE - tinybaby messaged me on twitter and we were able to sort this out with button remapping

Thanks for letting me know. I will look into it.

Make sure you turn on all 4 switches first.

Amazing game. Well done!
put this game on Steam please
I will be in the future! Key will be provided if you get on itch
how long does it take to beat the game approximately?
Average playtime is 1.5-2.5 hours. It's around movie length.
Am I missing somthing where is the sound bars? This game is LOUD AF and im trying to still talk in discord without turning my pc sound down to 30%
They will be added to the next (and hopefully final) update
seen the game played start to finish. wish this was on steam so i can buy it. i only buy steam games :)
I only buy games that aren't on steam.
I only buy games on Epic Store and Itch.io and Steam
I only buy games that are on itch.io.

Hi There! Bought this game last night, but when I play, the menu doesn't appear when I hit the ESC button, the characters simply pause.
Hi, that is very strange. I haven't heard about any issues like that in any testing so far. Please email me ben[at]puppetcombo.com Thanks
Is there a fix for this? Because I am now having the same issue.
I was playing the linux version downloaded on Patreon/Google Drive link and the game crashed at Dorothy phase, probably last scene :(
Oh I think I know why, the Google Drive link had just the x86 version and not the x86-64 version ... but now I'm not on Patreon anymore :'( this is sad...
Hi, yes you are right, I did not have the 64-bit version uploaded. Please email me: ben[at]puppetcombo.com
Thanks
Linux Build is up!
What kind of timeframe are you looking at for a Steam release?
In the next few months,
Hi! I would like to download the game and play on Mac. Which system requirements are on Mac for running the game? Thanks :)
Hi, I imagine any mac from the past 5 years would be able to run it fine. One of my problems with doing mac version, is not actually owning one to test it. But refund is always an option if it doesn't run on your system.
Hey some new features have been added in version 1.03!
I'm planning a Steam release at some point, so you'll receive a key in the future when it launches if you purchase on itch.
That should cover most of the requested features I've seen that I agree should be added. Linux mode is hopefully coming next.
