After viewing the clip of the game I was excited to play. The graphics and concept seem really cute and fun. However, despite having Windows the download was not compatible. Bummer. Online game play option future possibility?
45m and 45s, i got stuck on the 9th clue, and one color at the end, but it was amazing. And how far along is the next game?
Good Game

that was amazing. although you should know I'm the non-smart guy here so i watched another person play for another parts. maybe chapter 2 will be heaven?
That was great!
I was bound by the little narrative from the first moment (or maybe I just like chasing foxes?) The aesthetics from the visuals to the music were solid and harmonious, and I enjoyed solving the little puzzles.
And that climax! Wow!
It seems, as of this moment, you've gone on hiatus, so I hope your time away is pleasant and peaceful.
It was a fun puzzle game led by a cute deformed fox!
My only regret is that I couldn't figure out the □□│ puzzle so I had to watch other people play through.
I regretted it as soon as I saw the answer, thinking that it would have been a great feeling if I could have solved it by myself. I was so worried about the last puzzle that I solved it by myself and enjoyed the pleasure!
It was a very enjoyable gaming experience!
Well... ok i didnt expect that ending
would you be happy if the ending is good?
I dont remember ending anymore
But usually i dont care
alright,thx
Very nice and visually appealing game, I enjoyed it greatly. There is only one thing I’d point out –I got angry at the mouse acceleration settings.
5 stars
+speedrun-friendly design;
+sound & music design;
+art;
please add a mode for colorblind people;
please add more options to the graphics & input settings menu (in game);
With best regards 😘
Loved it, keep it up!
decided to replay this masterpiece and it is still as good as i remember, i hope you get back to this game soon. can't wait for the next chapter
Had a great time playing the game! Thank you!
Игра действительно хорошая. Стоит скачать и хотя бы попробовать
looooooooooooooooved it!
You haven’t posted for a bit on your Twitter or the 2020 game page—I hope you’re doing ok! I rlly liked the first chapter of the 2020 version (which I prob played a few months ago), and I was thinking abt it again today. Even if you don’t make progress on the game, that’s totally ok! It’s just good to hear from you n know you’re still kicking.
Doing great! The reason I'm not active is because I'm working on a VR mini-golf game with my friend. Walkabout Mini Golf. I even made foxhunts for each of the courses. I owe you a devlog about it. I'll get back to this, but right now mini golf is taking all my world creation and puzzle design energy.
That’s totally fair! Sounds like a cool project!!
this game is so engaging, the storyline you've built is so intriguing. the music you picked adds so much to the atmosphere. i love the overall style of this game. i cant wait to see what you make next!
I NEED a chapter 2!!! so much fun. Puzzles were challenging, but not enough to make me throw my computer across the room, and thankfully no math lol. Keep up the good work! Hope to see more games soon!
Love the puzzles in the game having lots of fun
Thanks, man.
Hey! I'm also in the process of creating a game that looks like yours and I have a question that might seem strange to you. I would like to know how you manage to adjust the difficulty of the puzzles. Because in my case, I feel like they are too easy for some and too difficult for others. So thanks if you answer me. P.S. You inspired me a lot to create my game =)
If you want to see a little part of my game
Cheers! Well in my case, I can just change the wording on the clue cards. Give more or less of a hint based on the words or pictures I use.
Of course, there are certain puzzles in the desert chapter that need solving without a clue card, and those were always the toughest to modulate. I found exactly the same... my testers would either get it immediately or get stuck for 20 minutes. It's not the end of the world if one puzzle presents more of a challenge to a certain player than the others, as long as most everyone is getting through, and its not consistently ONE part everyone gets stuck at. I just have to trust that by then they are engaged enough to keep thinking about it for 20 minutes.
One more advice: don't trust your own feelings on how hard the puzzles are. There is no substitute for playtesting.
I will follow your game! I want to play a puzzle game like mine, that's why I made it, haha.
hello im wanting to know the eight digit color combination for the clues in the asse building because i cant figure it out
This was a great experience! Certainly a fun time and I appreciate the ability to play it. It took me ages to work out how to get the blue cube to the top of the ledge. XD I had to glitch through the box and only after working further did I realize I could move it! Ha ha.
Thanks for feedback like that! You were not alone... I'll think harder and test more how to present these puzzles on the next one..
dude why its not fucking free
I don't understand the dickishness. Also you can choose not to pay me... and still dl the game. Enjoy. Dick.
Wow, this was amazing! Is that ending sequel bait?
Oh fer sure...
I accidentally dropped a red suncube trough a wall and I wasn't able to pick it up again.
Sorry! I guess the colliders aren't as airtight as I hoped... they will be in the next one.
Great game tbh! Really got me thinking, and was enjoyable especially in a time when we're all sitting at home, bored with nothing to do. Stay safe everyone.
P.S. This was written in the event of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Could you please have a slider for motion blur? this triggered my motion sickness :P other than that it's really good
Will do, for sure, in the next one.
Oh. Is it the lack of motion blur that causes sickness... or the presence of it? Anyway, I'll have it be an option for sure.
I completely forgot my accounts login details until today, a thousand apologies for not responding.
it's the presence that triggered it for me and thank you for taking it into consideration ^_^
Awesome game!
Beat it in about 40 minutes. This is one of the CUTEST games I think i've ever played. I loved it so much. ^_^
Thank you very much, DB. Cute and short!
I'm working hard on more content for ya!

just made a video on this AMAZING game... full walkthrough but with comentary, facecam, and good reactions :)
Wow, thanks dude'bro! You were fun to watch while you figured it out. You struggled with that plank ramp, but damn, that last puzzle you pretty much got the fastest I've ever seen it... gratifying to see it done the way I intended it. Thank you for capping and calling it "amazing".
There will indeed be another one coming up (I'm currently 150 hrs in), but I'm afraid it won't be free! : )
Thank you for the reply and im glad you enjoyed the video. Im excited to see what your new foxhunt game will be like and hopefully I can get it.
FYI the mac version doesn't work in OSX Catalina without some terminal interventions (I had to chmod + x the executable to get it to to open)
Thanks for the heads up! I'll push a new build out soon.
I see from news stories that Catalina is breaking a lot of things... : /
I rebuilt the mac download from a newer 2019 version of Unity. I hope it works! I can't really test it from my bedroom here...
Seems like I need a mac running Catalina to pull some sort of post-build xcode magic and validation process. I just don't have the hardware or time for this...

There are not enough puzzle/escape room style games that are cute and lighthearted instead of horror Stylization. This is a very cute game that take you on a short journey to learn the rules of this world and escape it. the view controls have a few issues, but otherwise it a well put together game well worth the time to play through.
i absolutely love this game. i first found it while playing "you left me" then i played it and fell in love with it, now a year later and my first year into college i went crazy looking for it because i didnt add it to my collection and couldnt find it anywhere. amazing job, i cant wait to play the full game, ive been playing this "chapter" over and over whenever i feel bored or stressed or simply just miss it.
That is such an amazingly nice thing to hear, Artis! I'm glad it brings you joy, or relaxation. You're the first person I've heard of who will revisit just to be in the world again: Because you miss it. That is probably the top thing I love about the games I fall in love with... so it is very satisfying and invigorating to hear it about my own game. Thank you.
i for fall forever achievement.
XD
Just a little joke between you and I. Ha ha.
I submitted this to a blind racing tournament. Thought you might be interested in watching the video: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/476299103
Heh, cool... i feel like cos it was a "race", they both panicked at the end and tried to just press buttons. Interesting tho, i definitely learned some things.
This game is amazing! I love the soundtrack, the graphics, pretty much everything! It was challenging, but it was still fun
Insta follow. Looking forward to see your game :)
Loved Your Game!! Very Challenging Towards The End But It Was Awesome!! Made A Vid For Zee Channel, Check It Out Here:
Took Me A While I Know, But I Didn't Want To Cut Any Of It So I Could Show Peeps That I Actually Managed To Figure It Out!!!Heh... that was great, thanks for your playthrough, dude.
I was on the edge of my seat at the end there... will he get it!!? So...
Spoiler: if you want to know why color 8 and 2 are blue: Yellow is the first color the sun can be, blue is the LAST color you can switch the sun to (and 2 is the same as the last). You also missed WHY III is yellow, but got it anyway... (check out the shadow from the top)
Ohhhh!!!! That Makes A Lot Of Sense!!! Sorry For The Late Reply But Damn, That's Some Well Made Puzzle Stuff There!!! I Probably Wouldn't Have Ever Thought Of That... Haha, Well I Somehow Got It In The End Anyway!!! Looking Forward To Your Next Project, If Such A Project Exists!!!
Very Nice! There was one bug that I found. When I was first following the prompt to pick up the yellow suncube, I put it back in it's slot and went outside. When I went back to get it to put it in the outside slot, it wouldn't budge. I had to stop and restart from the last save to fix it. :)
whoa, that's weird... thank you. I am gonna check this out.
Sorry...forgot to mention it earlier. I’m MacOS, older machine but that shouldn’t really matter. Let me know if you want me to go check it again. Happy to help. :)
Can you replicate it? I can't.
I tried leaving the yellow suncube in its slot, moving it to the bottom slot, and also leaving it in the niche on the table. I can pick it up again either way...
This was such a cool little puzzle game! The mysteriousness surrounding the world and the fox was really interesting and the puzzles were just the right level of difficult for a first chapter.
I look forward to seeing what the 'next world' has in store for us :D
(here's a little video of me trying the game out ;P)
This has honestly been one of my favorite puzzle games, I could tell you put a lot of time into this game and it really shows.
;) thanks for making it ;)
I finally did it took me 1h 17m, totally worth it really nice game.
What caused you the most trouble? Thanks for sticking with it.
