How did you build the applications and test them???

Hi JoeTheItchPro!
I'm a fan from Indonesia and I made an unofficial Indonesian translation mod for GET UPSTAIRS (as an xdelta patch, no game files included, players still need to own the original). I'd love to share it, but wanted to check with you first.
Would you be okay with me releasing it publicly (e.g. on GitHub/itch.io) as a fan translation, with full credit to you and a note that it's unofficial? Alternatively, if you'd rather review it or bundle it into the game officially, I'm happy to send you the translated text/patch files directly instead whichever you prefer.
Thanks for making such a great little horror game, and let me know what works best for you!
Can a six-minute video capture the whole game and all endings? Check out the video below and see! 👇
It’s the best games that know how to take a simple premise and make them terrifying, and this game did just that. I really enjoyed the simplicity that made you focus on that feeling we all get having to turn the lights off and feel like something is right behind you. Having different endings and outcomes for different situations captured this fear from every angle. Really enjoyed this and look forward to what you do next!Very Very Very good game. I was looking for a short horror experience to give me motivation to work my my own game and this delivered. I captured the concept of irrational fear very well. I was always very scared of the dark when I was little and the 3rd level with the long corridor to run was elite level design. I idea that nothing bad happens if you believe nothing bad will happen is very poetic
Brother, you should have seen my reaction when I was recording this game for my vid, I was absolutely terrified during the major moments of realisation..
This is honestly one of the best interpretations of this specific setting of horror I have ever played, I showed genuine fear and dread during the recording of this video and I made sure to give it justice during editing, make sure to check it out ;)
Un Gran Juego. Consigue mantenerte tenso y sus finales te ponen a pensar. Corto pero intenso, sigue así
Highly relatable experience for my childhood right here, you captured the feeling of dread, thinking that there may be something else with you in the dark.
Oh yeah, during my recording, it was crazy how much dread I had
Game is a real cool! Reallt creepy horror

Very good game! I got the bad ending, but I still loved it haha!
It was honestly such a peak game, I have not felt fear as such in a hot minute
I still have this fear as a grown adult! I still need a night light lul! I love how real the truth is in what the monster says tho! Amazing job 10/10
The monster was speaking facts, it genuinely made me think to myself during my recording session ;O
peak game
Buen juego, no sabía que hiciste el "go to bed" también, espero que saques mas juegos
no bugs on my side lol
peak check it
This is good childhood fear. I love how certain games break the fourth wall. Another fun horror game.
Honestly same, the game did a very good job at making me really think, during my gameplay recording of it, I felt a genuine sense of dread
A lot of bugs, and softlocks
Just played it on windows for a YT video and never had a problem myself
and i have bugs. don't talk with me
Hello! Could you please tell me where any of the bugs/softlocks are? I am working on a small patch rn for some minor adjustments, but haven't seen anything as severe as you say in any playtests or gameplay videos yet.
I'm on mac, and I can't see anything. The only thing I can see is the UI. Hope you can fix this.
Hey! Just released an updated mac version that should hopefully fix this!
Thanks!
Hello! I just checked, and sadly the glitch is still there. Hope you can fix this!!
Ah got it. Thanks for updating me! I'm working on windows so I can't reliably test how builds run on mac. I will keep looking into this and hopefully find a fix!
That is honestly so real during my recording! I used to legit like crawl up the stairs running with both my hands and legs lmao!
is anyone else having issues playing on mac i start the game after it says run its just a black screen
Hey! Just posted a new mac version that hopefully fixes the black screen.
Cool little game, had a great tense atmosphere. 10/10
Well done!
Man!! What a game... I literally had chills while going upstairs, especially when the background music peaked. Loved it!! Keep making games like this :)
I played it without expecting anything and was pleasantly surprised; it’s an incredible game with a very original concept. I give it a 10/10. I invite you to watch the video where I played it.
genuinely scared me lol 2nd game i play in my 3 scary games video check it out
I enjoyed seeing it in your video!
I'm happy to hear my scare tactics have improved! I really enjoyed your video!
Absolutely such a fun idea for a horror game! Really got me with one of those endings! Awesome job!
Glad you had fun with it and thanks for including it in your video!
