Thank you for the nice feedback! The slow pacing is something a few people have commented on, and while it is what we were going for, the implementation probably isn't ideal and something we need to adress for future games.
yeah cause the story is really interesting but playing at this pace feels so like waiting for story to move forward and also i as i make gameplays this pace just makes it even harder to well make a gameplay too
I'm having problems with lag. Please add the option to change visual settings so that my potato computer can handle this game. The game looks great though. Just wish I could play it...
Hey there, thanks for the compliment, I also hope that you can play it ^^ There is an option to turn the graphics down, but it's not in-game, only in the window that appears when you start the game, where you also select screen resolution etc. Depending on your settings, you might have to hold down alt/option for this window to appear. Hope that helps!
After trying what you said, it didn't help much unfortunately. I recommend at least putting in the option to turn off particles or shaders. Thank you for helping. Mad respect mate.
Too bad :( We'll look into optimizing it a bit more, and I'll notify you once we find a solution. The volumetric lighting is probably a culprit as well. But thanks for trying, have a good one!
Hey there, sorry to hear that :/ Are you playing the PC or the Mac version? And what are your system specs? Also, have you tried turning the graphic settings down?
Thanks for sharing, it was a fun experience to play through. The only real improvement I would suggest is to speed up the text crawl significantly - clicking through to get it to display faster was a little bit of a pain.
I really liked the soundtrack/music - you did a fantastic job selecting those.
Thank you, and thanks for the feedback, that's a great idea! Maybe text speed could be an option, though we don't have an options menu in this version ^^'
Wow! I was looking for a good game on itch and stumbled across this I really recommend this, Great game! I hope to hopefully (that makes no sense lol) see more from you!
Thank you! ^^ Unfortunately, it will be a while until we have something playable with our new version / spiritual successor of Northbound. But we'll keep posting updates on Twitter, so you can follow us on there ^^
thats fine also....It takes a while in the bus so cn you maybe speed it up by 10-20 minutes and have inbetween things like 10 mins later or 20 mins later thank you! ^^
This was a really sweet experience. Great narrative design, i like how the weather outside mirrors the mood inside. And the ending twist was really neat. Great work! :)
i like the fact that your the kind of person who checks the comments and tries to improve, instead of just creating the game and ignoring the comments. ultra respect

I think the soundtrack was one of the best parts about the game especially when it was silent in the car. Made the game complete in my opinion. Hopefully more kind of games like this soon!
Honestly, at sometimes it may be a bit slow, but the sound effects, music, dialogue and graphics all mix together very well, and the ending is very creative and fresh. Almost made me shed a tear. I love it. Thank you for making this game! :)

great games guys really love the story and how it was executed but the only thing was that i felt too slow and that kinda took the touch out of it

The functioning Gameboy and Camera were really nice touches. And I appreciate that you realized I would be throwing objects at my friends.
Thanks for the video, really enjoyed watching it, and I laughed out loud at the All star bit :)

Thank you very much for the advice. I will be sure to let you know if I have any more problems.

Hey there, sorry to hear that :/
Are you playing the PC or the Mac version? And what are your system specs?
Also, have you tried turning the graphic settings down?
well im on a pc and my specs are intel(R) core(TM) i7-7500
That should be able to run it, as long as you have a decent dedicated graphics card to go along with it.
I do but it crashes when I am about to get the bag
just magnificent. can someone suggests me other games similar to this?
Thank you ^^
Some of the games that inspired us were Glitchhikers, Firewatch and all games by turnfollow, to name a few.

What an interesting game! Loved the experience, was wondering if there was a playlist for the soundtrack? Love it!
Thank you ^^
There isn't a playlist yet, but that's a great idea! For now, you can find the names to all the songs in the credits ^^
