Could you help me? Every time the game tries to run a program it asks me if I want to run it or cancel. Like (spoilers) when the screen melts and it kinda ruins the experience. Is there a way to disable this? Thanks!
I think having the current windows user account set to administrator instead of just non-admin fixes the problem. But I'm not 100% sure about it. I couldn't find a way to automatically grant access from just the script itself. Plus I don't have this problem that your having so it's probably the computer permissions being set to manual run instead of just auto execution. You could also check the windows defender settings to see how these permissions are managed. But I try seeing if your account is full admin or not first.
Xerstudios, can you help me? I downloaded the game and copied the floder to my desktop, i can launch it but i get this window with a X in the bottom right and it shuts down immediatly. I guess it's because my PC is too shitty but i CAN run stuff like: Black rose and mirror layers. What can i do?
That's strange! If you do not see the splash screen from the launcher try opening the game without the launcher by going into the data folder located next to the launcher and opening ADarkPlace.exe. Also this could be a problem with system compatibility such as not being able to play directx 11 games or having a 32bit system. Even though instead of just crashing it should have given you at least an error message or a runtime error of some sort. If you are using a 32bit system I could send you a link for that specific version. And are you using the paid version of the game or the free version? Also sending a screenshot or at least a picture of what its doing can help me fix this since I haven't had anyone have this problem before.
There is no 'ADarkPlace.exe' if i open the version that's in the data folder (the one with the face icon) i get the message:
There should be 'ADarkPlace_Data' folder next to the executable
I unzipped the game too, so i don't understand. i added some screenshots for you to make it a bit more clear what i'm talking about. 3 of them are of the game files, and the other one is the black screen i was talking about, it just closes down after.
My computer IS a 64bit system, but maybe the 32bit version will work anyway?
This helps a lot as I can now see the problem, it appears the game did not install correctly and is missing important files needed to run the game. Try downloading the game through my main game page here https://gamejolt.com/games/ADarkPlace/323680 and that should fix the issue you are having.
Sadly no because the scripts that were used to do the desktop effects only support windows operating system. My next game creation may be multi-platform (not console) since I'm planning to create a bigger project.
I understand completely the game is amazing and I’m in college for programming so if you guys are ever looking for free help let me know I need the experience. Big fan of the glitchy/ virus style game you guys made!
So I really dig this game and everything but after entering the code to the door to the forest the game doesn't let me continue. And when I exit and re enter the game it deletes my save. This has happened twice now and I'm pretty bummed about it.
That doesn't seem right. Does the code work? If it does then are you placed by the door again after entering? If the map doesn't load when you open the door or get the code right, then this might mean the level is corrupt on your end. Reinstalling the game will probably fix that issue only if the level is indeed corrupt. There is a feature in the game that resets the progress if a level isn't found so in that case I think its a file corruption issue.
If you already reinstalled the special edition and still have the same problem you can use the debug menu by pressing f when the game starts up and if you click on edit savefile you can choose a level to load. To go back to where you were before you have to press next 2 times on the level loader and click on TheForest.unity located on the top-left. This will also bypass the passcode part and send you straight into where you were supposed to be after entering the code.
I'll definitely do this. Thank you so much! Really enjoying the game too.
Edit: I don't think I even tried to reinstall either and I feel like an idiot. I'll probably reinstall anyway you assure this doesn't happen again but thank you for all your help.
This game is genius!! Best horror game ive ever seen! When u could get access to smarthome, u could make the light flicker and make scary calls ^^. Just an idea... keep it up and good luck 4 future projects! Best wishes, bread
This game has been super fun to play! It messes around with your computer and truly seems like the game is interacting with you! (Completely harmless!) The puzzles have been challenging and there always seems to be a twist around every corner! Great game overall, I love the concept!

I tried a whole bunch of stuff, I put the . EXE file in a different file and copied the game data next to it, it worked!
thanks a lot for replying, and your game is awesome! great work!
will there be a mac version absolutely love this game!!

it was a weird cool game :D
i cant install it
the install button is there but when i hit install it gives me no option :(
im downloading the gamejolt version that works fine
How can I delete the Game if It's Not playable? The Jumpscares scares me to death Xd
Deleting the A dark place folder should delete the entire game.

THIS GAME LITERALLY BLOWS MY MIND!
I would play more of the game but..... it does require a powerful PC to properly play on. I enjoyed it though, nevertheless the lag.
NICE GAME
NICE GAME
im dead...
;-;
Without question.. One of the most innovative games I've ever played. I am superbly impressed.
This game is genius!! Best horror game ive ever seen! When u could get access to smarthome, u could make the light flicker and make scary calls ^^. Just an idea... keep it up and good luck 4 future projects! Best wishes, bread
Really clever game. I would have played more but my anti virus kept blocking stuff, which gave me a unique experience xD
This is why sandbox are made for i tink go get sandboxie it totaly free.
Here's the last part of my playthrough on this great game!
This has been a challenge and it only gets creepier the further you play!
it was used to make the programs in the game. If you want you can download the MFA files here

under A Dark Place: Development Files.
Sure!
This game has been super fun to play! It messes around with your computer and truly seems like the game is interacting with you! (Completely harmless!) The puzzles have been challenging and there always seems to be a twist around every corner! Great game overall, I love the concept!
