Yup, just like it's been said in the author previous announcements and some comments below :
The current build here is a Beta version and is over.
He's currently working on another project right now
Once that project is over, he's reworking the Beta entirely to deliver a better, final version of the story, planned and oriented for release to support such as the Switch.
And once THAT is done, he's doing Syndicate (PW2)
So we shouldn't expect anything about Syndicate before a few years.
He just wants to streamline it and remove the password function and such. Personally not a fan of the idea since i think thats apart of what makes password unique but it's up to Grizz.
I agree man, the reason why i started reading Password because it had similar vibe to Danganronpa something like 'killing' game maybe not perfect, but it's interesting idea main character involving into flashbacks of the happen past in other realities, while trying to change his reality
Hey, I read about the rewrite and stuff and how you see it as a failure currently, but are you sure we couldn't just make a "fixed" version of the Beta of your story while you're working on the revamped real deal yourself ?
By fixing, I mean from stuff like putting the " , " in sentences for better flow or correcting words when needed ("I think for now I think" for example) to stuff like making Oz not directly mentionning Dave on day 8 that he's the MFD since their identitie is one of the mysteries that bother Dave's mind the following days, as if he's never been told in the first place. Nothing further that thoses kinda things though.
Oh, and... please don't get mad if you don't like the idea, it just feel so much that this VN is so nice it may should deserve this even now, despite your rewrite coming in the future... It's like, even if a Spinel (Beta) is less precious than a Ruby (Rewrite), it still worth polishing to make it brighter and better, wouldn't you think ?
Haha I'm not mad! It's more I wish I had the active time to put towards a proper polish this version of the game needs given some of the more dire parts that need straightening out.
But given that time, I feel a rewrite is overall just cleaner.
Thanks, but… Well, I guess I feel like I didn’t explained myself properly enough ^^’
So… Here’s the real, elaborated thing : I started this VN along with a friend, but his english level is a fairly bit under mine, so he sometime had some inconveniences to follow the reading with the lack of « , » and others things (as he kinda told me at least), which made him slowing down a bit ever further. Also, another might also take a look, but she have others stuff to take care of for now.
So, at some point, I suggested I would do some « polishing » while I’m reading it myself (as well as taking the opportunity to look at thoses plots contradictions on the fly, like in the Oz-Dave-MFD example mentionned above, but there’s some mor) so the three of us can enjoy the Beta version of the VN at a better level, since we don’t know how many years are left before your rewrite would be done.
I want to clarify : We’re not the streaming or playthrough type, and this polished version is and will remain strickly kept sure in a USB drive, so it would never leak no matter what, even if computer hacked. Also, I’m specifically talking about reading flow improvements and fixing the few occasionnal moment where the plot really contradict itself or doesn't add up with the previous choices and dialogs, and Nothing Else. No messing with any aspect of the story, N-o-n-e.
Sooooo… I guess the real meaning of my previous comment is : Since I’m already doing it for them (and myself)… Would you want me to hand it over to you, so you could decide after check if it's worth sharing to other readers over here, or do I just keep it for us ?
Again, I wish you wouldn’t be mad at the idea now you may have a better understanding of it, ‘cause I feared you’d think I’m messing with your story, but I’m Not! I really just have fixing and polishing in mind, and mostly for my friends' benefit too. I really would feel bad to give the wrong idea, especially with how much I like this VN *.*
I'd say more about dedication to something I like than eagerness. But well, I guess his lack of reply mean it will be kept for us then. A little too bad for the others readers, I suppose, but I'll stick to my words.
I think it is best it stays as a private thing for you and your buddies to enjoy. The last thing I think anyone wants is people wondering what the "real" version is when looking for the game. Not to say you'll say that, and while I appreciate the offer to hand it over I just don't have the time to dedicate to it that it would need and deserve to properly check things over.
Hi can anyone tell me if it's a bug or it's just a part of the game I'm at Sal route and in day that I don't reveal oswin and didn't put the password "Massacre" it's said Path C and I expected to see what sal reaction if he kill someone with axe when I'm at relationship with him and the day has come and nothing happen until it's Tyson turn to kill Orlando I didn't put the password "Werewolf" and after that day it's said Path A? Got curious why it became Path A instead of Path C? I got the felling that Oswin did something to it cause when he's talking to Dave and Thanatos I forget the day I think 19? And he did something to his computer and said "damn" and I got another felling that when I'm playing Orlando's route I reveal oswin and didn't put the password "Massacre " it happen sal kill dean. So I got confused anyone can tell me it's part of the game right?
It's a part of the game. The events that cause Sal murdering people are solved directly on his route so those events can't take place if you're playing his route.
An unseen force had finally caused me to come here and make a comment.
I really love how this vn turned out to be, although there were a few rough patches in the sentences sometimes, the overall story came out narratively well and clean and hidden behind a shroud of mystery that can only really be seen after looking thru the nuances, the format is specially effective in creating more contexts to what had been just simple dialogues, and instilling dread upon reaching, rereaching, and attempting to make progress, and to not fail the various flavorful casts. It specially takes courage to write something like this that may just come across as confusing or nonsense to many who just takes things at face value. Overall this Vn was a joyous, beautiful story that gave me a hint of dread, hopeless and fear that is also invoked to the characters, I wish I can read it all over again.
Hello everyone, I'm a Russian player and it's a little difficult for me to translate. I wanted to ask about passwords, how to get them, as I understood from the comments, there are several passwords. I'm going through Dean's path, he's dying on day 6 and I don't understand what to do, how do I save him for day 6?
Привет я прошёл эту новеллу недавно, как я помню пороль ядовитая поганка может немного ошибаюсь но это точно связано с этим. Удачи тебе в прохождени, если хочешь могу посоветовать канал с переводом удачи.
I decided to come back to this VN after having finished it some time ago, but, even after deleting all my saves and removing the persistent data file (Playing it on PC) the persistent data and saves restore themselves when I start the game. I want to start it from scratch because I want to play it from the beginning, so i can go through getting the medals and whatnot and experience the story fresh.
It's been so long that I've forgotten, but is there somewhere else where the game stores the persistent data, where it ALSO has to be deleted (and not just from the folder i saved the VN to when I extracted the file)?
I don't remember the exact thing but yes, your PC has it's own memory that keeps app data. Think it's this: C:\Users\<username>\AppData - It's a hidden folder so you'll need to go to view and click hidden items, i think.
I've been scrolling through the comments for a bit and haven't found an answer to this, but is there a list somewhere of the things you can ask Oswin about on day 8?
I believe I've gotten a good proportion of them (the "rabbits" one surprised me though lmao) but I feel like, especially with the post-questioning dialogue in route B, not getting everything may have consequences down the line--moreso after seeing the rabbits one provides extra options...
Either way though, fantastic VN that's had me hooked for the past week!! It walks a fine line between overly idealistic and shakespearean tragedy (reasonable for this kind of genre lbr), and while I love a lot of the romance (as well as just the characters in general), I'm glad that it's relegated to the B-plot, as in, the route isn't dependent on what partner you choose.
With all that said, I think I'm nearly at the end now! Super excited to see how it plays out :D
Pretty certain the latest version also doesn't have the questioning segment anymore given how clunky it was.
But if you're playing on an older version, someone on the server compiled the 70ish odd questions that work. No idea if the document is still active however.

Will there be any news about PW2? Or will it be done after PW1 is revised or certain projects are completed?

So we shouldn't expect anything about Syndicate before a few years.
So... project is dead, right?
i saw last news on patreon and, im unhappy with that
No, it's on hiatus. Grizz is working on 'the cats meow' and will get back to reworking all of password after as he wants to streamline it.
shid, sounds not good
He just wants to streamline it and remove the password function and such. Personally not a fan of the idea since i think thats apart of what makes password unique but it's up to Grizz.
I agree man, the reason why i started reading Password because it had similar vibe to Danganronpa
something like 'killing' game maybe not perfect, but it's interesting idea main character involving into flashbacks of the happen past in other realities, while trying to change his reality
Geez... That story is just so entertaining...

It's in the bad end, in the letter Dave gets.

Hi, can anyone tell me how to unlock all the additional scenes?
I decided to come back to this VN after having finished it some time ago, but, even after deleting all my saves and removing the persistent data file (Playing it on PC) the persistent data and saves restore themselves when I start the game. I want to start it from scratch because I want to play it from the beginning, so i can go through getting the medals and whatnot and experience the story fresh.

Thank you! This was driving me nuts, and, for some stupid reason, I couldn't remember to check the appdata folder!
mood. tried rewatching via a playthrough on youtube & gone on at Day 9 atm
I've been scrolling through the comments for a bit and haven't found an answer to this, but is there a list somewhere of the things you can ask Oswin about on day 8?

The questions don't really matter other then some extra options, but they don't impact the outcomes or story. It's just extra info.
Pretty certain the latest version also doesn't have the questioning segment anymore given how clunky it was.
