Aaaaand that's it, I've finished catching up with the game
That was great ! I love all the characters but...yeah, Tyson is definitively the best boi out there, without a doubt
Is it bad that I wouldn't have minded an Oswin route ?
However I have a quick question, a bit spoilery tho
In the end I never got to use some of the passwords I got from Hoss' list, 4 of them actually. Do you think they're gonna have some use in a future update or did I somehow miss the chance to use them during the first days ?
They could only Grizz knows but all the previous passwords had something to do with the event you use them for or the people in those events so probably not.
Can anyone help me with the password for Orlando? I knew his password a year ago, but now I cannot remember, and even more so to find. I need a hint, please help.
So I just thought of something; there's someone behind the events of this vacation, but almost everyone dies at some point in the game. The only thing to survive period is Thanatos, this leads me to believe that someone fakes their own death or not in the mansion to begin with. Whatever the case is, something doesn't seem right with Benson's death. It seems too staged to me even some of the characters say so. Still the narrative and mysterious plot are addictive to me!! 😃😃😃😃😃
Oooookay, I've reached Day 8 and it might be a bit spoilery right now, you've been warned
I'm still talking with Oz in the library, but as a non-english speaker I'm quite struggling to find the apprioriate questions to ask
So far I think I've managed to squeeze 12 answers out of him, but I honestly don't know what specific keywords I can use
(ok, 13 answers because I just freaking tried to hug him
ok 14 answers because I'm lewd as heck)
I also tried multiple times to ask him why was I the one he contacted (and not Orlando, for instance since he also had a vision with the vault) but failed to have him answered me anything
The talk with Oz is just for aditional info, you won't get a bad end just for not asking things. Though some things can give aditional dialoge like asking him if he 'likes hansel and gretel'.
As for the orlando question i think if you ask him about 'recorded surveillance' might help.
As a completionist, I'm gonna aim for every end (even the bad ones) but I would like to avoid being stuck somewhere in the story because I missed something
Thanks for the Hansel and Gretel tip ! His answer was quite interesting (mostly because I got spoiled one of the characters thanks to a discord bot, now I'm gonna keep my distances with him)
I already asked him about the cameras but he didn't mention Orlando though, I guess it's going to be an unanswered question
(I've managed to squeeze 21 different answers out of him, I guess that's enough to quench my curiosity (I still don't really assume the daddy and bacon ones)
I only knew of four different questions to ask. Apparently there's a lot more variety to some of them. 😅😅 But what do I ask? I only thought of the forest and mushrooms.
This is just from my rough notes so you will have to reword them into somthing useful
oswin talk - poison, gun, soundproof, dean suicide, secret passage, surveillance, recorded surveillance, dagger,
does anyone live in the forest, cabin in the woods, medals, 'rabbits?', 'hansel and gretel'
there was a document way back when that had alot the questions on it that i use since i managed to save a copy for myself but the original was deleated.
I can give you all the questions I've managed to found so far, it might be a bit spoilery if someone wants to find the questions by themselves so it's up to you
Hey, I just started playing this game and I'm already on day 3
I was wondering if there's anything I need to know beforehand, or any tips
(I'm already aware of the password system and how to get them but that's it. I already plan to do all the routes (currently have 6 different save slots, one for each character) and I learned somewhere the little "Dave" tip at the very beginning of the story)
I already love Dean (you know, bears) but I also know thanks to Echo that "antagonistic" characters like Tyson are usually the best boys, can't wait to do his route !
I've just finished the first day 6 (Sal's), it was interesting
(didn't really know the password would be THAT obvious so I kept trying different words I saw in the dialogues, it was fun trying to find the right one before I got the answer tho)
Oh so that's what the different paths meant in the save slots, I thought it was the different routes (in addition to the save files colours)
That's quite an interesting twist, routes within routes basically ? Thanks for telling me about this, I've only completed every Day 6 so far, I would probably have missed that
No problem. It does catch people out, paths are the story and routes are the flavour that goes along with it.
For example if Dave is meant to react to somthing in the story that will happen no matter who's route you are on. The routes are flavour, who will be at daves side when he reacts.
Thats very vague. So you can get to day 19 but get a bad end everytime? The actual day is important because as in the title the VN needs you to find passwords in the text to avoid bad ends, and there's alot of passwords. So simply saying 'the whole route' is not easy for anyone to help you.
If you do literally mean 'i want everything spoon fed to me with every password', you aren't going to get an answer because that would spoil it for anyone else trying to do it themselfs and only wanting hints from the comments.
Playing through Sal's route on path A. It seems like there are parts that don't register and repeat at a later date.
SPOILERS AHEAD just in case.

So Sal and Dave already confessed to each other in a way at an earlier day, not sure which one. Now on day 18 Sal is confessing again and Dave is surprised about it, sort of as if the previous day's confessions never happened in this route.
Guessing it will be remedied at some point but wanted to point it out just in case no one else has.
The first password (around day 6 for everyone but Roswell i think) is different for each character and is found in the bad endings look for a word that stands out from the others.
Each password can usually be found in the bad endings and if it isn't in there it's usually in the same day you go to the vault.
No problem the first few times you go to the vault are just for easter eggs and for Grizz to test stuff so the vault works the way it's meant too.
Also a few other things :
When you can look at the name of the coffee cup just put 'Dave'. The cup isn't for changing your name it unlocks some easter eggs but otherwise it just gives you +1 affection with whatever character's name is on it. Putting 'Dave' gives +1 to everyone which can help if you want to get some of the better interactions like hugging someone when they're sad.
The choice that locks in what route you are on is when you pick who your partner is for the scavenger hunt.
If you've done that, focus there rather than anywhere else.
If you're still struggling, and you've been skim reading, stop. You won't progress like that. If you're still struggling after that, then I don't know how else to help you as it's a core mechanic you should be learning.
As Grizz said; If you play through it at a normal pace then the password will appear somewhere in the text. Just pay attention to what youre reading and look for any suspicious words that could be a clue. As a hint I will tell you that the password has something to do with how they die.
If you are really struggling, you could look inside the scripts for the game and find it out that way. You won't get anyone directly telling you the password, those comments just get deleted.
I've never got the whole ''ooo murder mystery i wanna do that but can i have all the answers''. Its a mystery you're meant to figure out. If you want things more spoon fed, ordinary story VNs are a thing.
Why go for a mystery VN if you don't want to deal with the mystery. Though i do get it somewhat it why people read miss marple books. The mystery is engaging keeping you on the edge of your seat and you know in the end it'll all be explained. Doesn't really happen when you change the genre to one that needs your imput rather than just observing.
I read all of it and kept asking myself…why do people want this again? Like it’s well written and all that, but I couldn’t imagine something like that in the real story…with any character…not even Dean.
1. Sex, much like death, when handled correctly in fiction mark a change in relationship dynamic. Granted this is when you write a sex scene, not a porn scene where the underlying goal for each is radically different. In this case, what I presented was very much trying to blend the two as I tried to cater to those that just wanted porn while also catering to myself who wanted to watch the shift between Dave and Tyson. Because it marks the change of Tyson and Dave's relationship from brothers to something more romantic, it should be in-game rather than censored.
2. Furries be horny. They want the sex scenes because other furry visual novels have them. They're not wrong for wanting it or even expecting it as there are more VNs with them than without. Or at the very least promising them. So with that there's a level of feeling cheated out of what would be a "reward" come the end of a character arc with it not being in-game.
Though I consider the reward having them alive instead of well... y'know.
That makes sense…I don’t really mind having sex scenes in VNs, but I’d rather have it matter than just on a whim I suppose…but that’s just me personally :)
*spoilers*
In this case it does matter because of what you said…like with Dean, that actually made an impact in their relationship. But as much as I love Sal to death, it’d be kinda mortifying to imagine him having sex with Dave. I’m not gonna specifically name them, but in some of the furry VNs I’ve been playing and have newly found out about, the past updates have just been sex…I guess I’m a little burned out of it lmao…it’s kind of annoying to be excited for a story update and then sex happens throughout most of it, or the update is just one sex scene and done…nothing against the creators, but I feel like they’re in this gray area between giving fanservice, story, or both :(
Dang I just saw that this Visual Novel was published two years ago. 😮😮 It is so wonderful that it's still being updated to this day, Congratulations Grizz. 😃😃😃😃
What can i say? i fell in love with this VN and Tyson.
I tried but i can't bring myself to do the other routes because Tyson is the best boi but i'm trying to have some courage because the plot is very good.
Most of the passwords work for different people. So, say you put in the password for Hoss on day Seven, it won't work for Dean's day Seven. Other than that I don't know how to help.
You said passwords work for diferent people but thats only true for the first one currently. The OP also said he knows the passwords so he's already experianced with the system and most probably knows when the passwords worked in the past. You also didn't note that the day to use rosswells password was changed.
(reading this back makes me feel like an ass, i mean nothing by it im just overly analytical)
Hello Grizz, I have found a bug of some sort. It is after putting in, I believe its spelled "Timber" when the gang gets off the bus and the driver talks to Dave, it says something found in red font in the upper left corner.
Edit: I forgot to mention that it's the Android version.
Can someone give me an all spoilers explanation on what this story is about? I'm struggling to get it and I'm not stupid FYI 😆.
I just haven't had time at all to get back into it and don't think I will any time soon. What's the looming danger, what's with the death-rat and why is Dave kind of psycho?
So if someone could oblige, that'd be dandy.
ALSO, is it just me or can Dave date the entire harem?
It's a murder mystery. Answering everything in broad strokes, without being spoiler free, on the main page of the game would defeat the purpose of playing it in the first place.
If you're wanting a central theme for what Password is about, then "dealing with trauma and grief" is not a bad one. Naturally as the one making it I'd recommend playing it rather than reading a synopsis, especially while it's in development.
I don't understand your last question, but each of Dave's friends is a potential "route" to flavour the mystery but dating them isn't mandatory. As such there's no harem route where you date all of them at once. Nor can you 'date' any of the supporting cast either.
The story and characters are more independent from each other. For example if Dave (you) is meant to react to somthing in the story that will happen no matter who's route you are on, the routes are what flavour you want to go along with the story. Who will be at daves side when he reacts.
When you can look at the name of the coffee cup just put 'Dave'. The cup isn't for changing your name it unlocks some easter eggs but otherwise it just gives you +1 affection with whatever character's name is on it. Putting 'Dave' gives +1 to everyone which can help if you want to get some of the better interactions like hugging someone when they're sad.
Passwords are usually in the bad ending and is a word that is usually repeated or has more attention drawn to it. If it isn't in the bad ending it's usually in the same day you can go to the vault. The early days (day 1-3) you can go to the vault and thats just for easter eggs not for a needed password.
The choice that locks in what route you are on is when you pick who your partner is for the scavenger hunt.
Is the soundtrack from the VN available anywhere other than the VN itself? I want to listen to it (and annoy my friends by constantly linking to it whenever I feel like sharing music), but I don't know where to find it.
I've come to warn that there is a lil error i think in day 18, path A of Roswell's route. It's a simple error. While Dave and Roswell are talking outside, Dave asks himself if he's okay? pretty sure it was supposed to be Roswell saying it ^^
Passwords are almost always in the 'bad ends' there's some that aren't but when that's the case the password will be said on the day you can go to the vault. The first required password is in the bad end. Look for words that are repeated or have more attention given to them.
If thats too hard to understand leave your language and i'll try google translating it into somthing more passable since google translates a bit shit.

google translate (a little off but more or less)
Пароли почти всегда находятся в «плохом состоянии», есть некоторые, которых нет, но в этом случае пароль будет объявлен в тот день, когда вы сможете перейти в хранилище. Первый требуемый пароль находится в плохом конце. Ищите слова, которые повторяются или которым уделяется больше внимания.
(dont get why it translated the first 'bad end' as 'bad shape' but translated the second as 'bad end')
How will I know if I am on track for Tyson's romantic stuff? Tyson's route is pretty much the one I focus on these days, but it always seems like no matter what options I pick, he seems weirded out or freaked if I try to get too romantic or sappy with him.
Tyson's route is always a whirlwind one with alot of whiplash even when you successfully romance him. Thing to remember is tyson doesn't know himself or his own thoughts and also doesn't believe he deserves to be loved.
Adding to what's been said, as long as you're picking the more affectionate dialogue options in general you'll be on the right track.
Him pulling away and being cold or difficult after being warm is normal. Well, maybe not "normal" exactly, but you're not doing anything wrong gameplay wise.
There are a couple of times I do think you need to hold back though. Like with the hug/kiss choice early on. I always go for the hug because it feels nicer and has the better dialogue afterwards. Trying to kiss there just sort of ends the scene and makes him freak out. I might be wrong of course, but the hug always plays into the "be patient but loving" path I always try to steer Dave down.
Nope it just moves on Grizz will explain the reason at a later date and i'll probably paraphrase it here from patreon so long as it isn't too intrinsically patreon. Though if you're after smut december might have something but im not sure.
The long and short of it is that there isn't a sex scene. I wrote something that could take place during that fade to black, but as Cerberus said I'll be explaining more at a later date.
It'll be the same for the other characters, including the existing one for Dean's route being cut.
Guessing its to do with releasing on other platforms think you mentioned the PSN way back when. Though if thats the case could always do the nekojishi route of having smut as an upgrade thats just pc only so that your efforts with deans CGs dont go to waste but its all up to you.
Ah, well maybe I'll draw something smutty as a side thing once life settles down a bit but it won't be in the VN. As far as a non-visual, written scene. There may be something coming up.

Okay, Orlando's Day 19 was so sweet it gave me diabetes
I thought the same. 😊😊😊
Aaaaand that's it, I've finished catching up with the game
That was great ! I love all the characters but...yeah, Tyson is definitively the best boi out there, without a doubt

Thanks for the answer and the two links (nah I absolutely didn't need the Dave + Tyson scene *begins the downloading*)
Haven't played Tennis Ace yet, but I wasn't expecting a crossover, it looks interesting !
Edit: I CAN download it, it just won't open.
Honestly this next update will be a great birthday present
Well happy birthday! You have a nice update ahead I think.
And the new version is public on patreon if you wanted it before itch.io updates.
Can anyone help me with the password for Orlando? I knew his password a year ago, but now I cannot remember, and even more so to find. I need a hint, please help.
hidden in the bad ending in the letter, orlando also needs you to have made certain choices to save him aswell as the password
I saw that word in the letter, but it didn't change anything(
you need to mess around with the choices about following him to the vault to save him aswell as the password
❤️❤️❤️Thanks, I'll try
Major Spoilers:
So I just thought of something; there's someone behind the events of this vacation, but almost everyone dies at some point in the game.

Oooookay, I've reached Day 8 and it might be a bit spoilery right now, you've been warned
I'm still talking with Oz in the library, but as a non-english speaker I'm quite struggling to find the apprioriate questions to ask
So far I think I've managed to squeeze 12 answers out of him, but I honestly don't know what specific keywords I can use

I also tried multiple times to ask him why was I the one he contacted (and not Orlando, for instance since he also had a vision with the vault) but failed to have him answered me anything
The talk with Oz is just for aditional info, you won't get a bad end just for not asking things. Though some things can give aditional dialoge like asking him if he 'likes hansel and gretel'.
As for the orlando question i think if you ask him about 'recorded surveillance' might help.
Oh, I'm relieved to hear that then
As a completionist, I'm gonna aim for every end (even the bad ones) but I would like to avoid being stuck somewhere in the story because I missed something
Thanks for the Hansel and Gretel tip ! His answer was quite interesting (mostly because I got spoiled one of the characters thanks to a discord bot, now I'm gonna keep my distances with him)

I only knew of four different questions to ask. Apparently there's a lot more variety to some of them. 😅😅 But what do I ask? I only thought of the forest and mushrooms.
This is just from my rough notes so you will have to reword them into somthing useful
oswin talk - poison, gun, soundproof, dean suicide, secret passage, surveillance, recorded surveillance, dagger,
does anyone live in the forest, cabin in the woods, medals, 'rabbits?', 'hansel and gretel'
there was a document way back when that had alot the questions on it that i use since i managed to save a copy for myself but the original was deleated.
I can give you all the questions I've managed to found so far, it might be a bit spoilery if someone wants to find the questions by themselves so it's up to you
That would be great but don't worry about spoilers with me, I already played each route to the end of this update.
Ok so here you go, they're all the questions I've gathered so far :
- What about the woods?
- What about the shack?
- Who dug up the gun ?
- What about Benson ?
- Are there hidden rooms ?
- Why would someone try to kill me ?
- Who put a note in Hoss' bedroom ?
- What about the note?
- Where is the gun ?
- Do you know Roswell?
- Do you like Hansel and Gretel?
- What about the surveillance system?
- Can we contact the police?
- Who wants to kill us ?
- What about the medals?
- Where are the other medals?
- Is there a cabin in the woods?
- Do you work with poison?
- Why are the bedrooms soundproof?
- Do you dislike rabbits?
- Do you have a dagger?
- Is there any other secret passage?
- What about the recorded surveillance?
- Who are you?
- What is the meaning of life?
- Can I hug you?
- Can I call you daddy?
- Do you like bacon?
I'm not proud about finding the 3 last ones ngl
Mh ok, I am visible confusion
I just got to the point with the different paths (A, B, C, D)
I managed to find the password so I unlocked paths A and C
However as I loaded the save where I revealed Oz during day 8, I keep ending up on paths A or C, can't get the B and D
Did I miss something ?
No thats just the first step you need the decision on day 10 then you can get to b and d
By decision, do you mean entering the password or not ?
Because I've reached day 11 for paths A and C (so supporting Benson on Day 8 and choosing or not to use the password)
But on the other save, where I revealed Oz on day 8 (and where Benson left), when I arrive on day 11 I'm either on paths A or C
Is there another choice to make on day 10 that could lead me to these paths ? Or maybe it'll switch to paths B and D later, like on day 11 or 12 ?
Revealing Oz and not using the password on day 10 goes to path D, the save data will only change the display to path D after you find Oz.
Revealing Oz and using the password on day 10 goes to path B, the save data will only change the display to path B after you find Oz.
Hey, I just started playing this game and I'm already on day 3
I was wondering if there's anything I need to know beforehand, or any tips
(I'm already aware of the password system and how to get them but that's it. I already plan to do all the routes (currently have 6 different save slots, one for each character) and I learned somewhere the little "Dave" tip at the very beginning of the story)
I already love Dean (you know, bears) but I also know thanks to Echo that "antagonistic" characters like Tyson are usually the best boys, can't wait to do his route !
Okay I wasn't ready for that particular day 5
Just wait it gets better. 😃😃😃
Oh, that I can believe
I've just finished the first day 6 (Sal's), it was interesting
(didn't really know the password would be THAT obvious so I kept trying different words I saw in the dialogues, it was fun trying to find the right one before I got the answer tho)
You're in for a ride then. 😅😅
Oh god my saveslots are starting to get messy now
I've reached day 7 for Orlando and I got quite a few passwords from other routes, so each time I'm at the vault I'm trying them all
Turns out 3 of them work in every route at day 7, gonna try to keep things clear I guess
After you do day 10 you can look at this to see the different story paths https://www.patreon.com/posts/on-topic-of-42690779
Oh so that's what the different paths meant in the save slots, I thought it was the different routes (in addition to the save files colours)
That's quite an interesting twist, routes within routes basically ? Thanks for telling me about this, I've only completed every Day 6 so far, I would probably have missed that
No problem. It does catch people out, paths are the story and routes are the flavour that goes along with it.
For example if Dave is meant to react to somthing in the story that will happen no matter who's route you are on. The routes are flavour, who will be at daves side when he reacts.
Okay, I'm getting tired of this, I need a step by step way to get the good ending for Ty, someone plz help >_>
what days the problem?
The whole route, I always get the bad ending no matter how much different ways I try >_>
Thats very vague. So you can get to day 19 but get a bad end everytime? The actual day is important because as in the title the VN needs you to find passwords in the text to avoid bad ends, and there's alot of passwords. So simply saying 'the whole route' is not easy for anyone to help you.
If you do literally mean 'i want everything spoon fed to me with every password', you aren't going to get an answer because that would spoil it for anyone else trying to do it themselfs and only wanting hints from the comments.
No I don't want the passwords or any answers, I was stuck on something, my friend helped me but thanks anyways!

how many ends hs game?
it's finished?
It is not finished yet. 🙂
Have a happy New Years everyone!! 😃😃😃
What Password days 7 rute dean???
Its hidden in the bad ending
I'm having the same problem, and im honestly just not seeing it in the bad end
Nvm, I just tried every large word in the ending until I found it
ah i see... heemmm...try again 🤣😅😂...sorry to bother u
I'm still confused, how to get the password.
does each character have a different password?
I know this is weird (asking at the comments column on the mystery genre VN). But, can you give me a clue or an example of the password, please?
The first password (around day 6 for everyone but Roswell i think) is different for each character and is found in the bad endings look for a word that stands out from the others.
Each password can usually be found in the bad endings and if it isn't in there it's usually in the same day you go to the vault.
Noted, first password is in day 6.
This all makes sense, why am I having trouble getting the password, (maybe) because I'm only on the 3rd day (I'm totally new playing this vn).
btw, thanks for your answer. It really help me, at least I know the first password is in day 6
No problem the first few times you go to the vault are just for easter eggs and for Grizz to test stuff so the vault works the way it's meant too.
Also a few other things :

The choice that locks in what route you are on is when you pick who your partner is for the scavenger hunt.
Here's a (kinda horny) idea; we have Dave in nothing but a ribbon and put him under a Christmas tree. 😘😘😘
Happy Holidays everyone!! 😃😃😃😃
HOLY SHIT I ACTUALLY GOT THE DAY 17 PASSWORD RIGHT *panic and dies*
MEDIC MEDIC WE NEED MEDIC HERE!
*gasp*
bruh why is dean so dreamy
OMG WHAT IS DEANS PASSWORD IM GONNA CRY IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR IT FOR 3 WEEKS
Play through the bad end for starters.
If you've done that, focus there rather than anywhere else.
If you're still struggling, and you've been skim reading, stop. You won't progress like that. If you're still struggling after that, then I don't know how else to help you as it's a core mechanic you should be learning.
As Grizz said; If you play through it at a normal pace then the password will appear somewhere in the text. Just pay attention to what youre reading and look for any suspicious words that could be a clue. As a hint I will tell you that the password has something to do with how they die.
If you are really struggling, you could look inside the scripts for the game and find it out that way. You won't get anyone directly telling you the password, those comments just get deleted.
This game is having you use your head. If people don't want to do that, then maybe this game isn't for them?
Edit: I don't mean to sound mean or anything. 🙂🙂🙂

Sorry for not replying to your previous answer

I read all of it and kept asking myself…why do people want this again? Like it’s well written and all that, but I couldn’t imagine something like that in the real story…with any character…not even Dean.
There's a couple schools of thought with this:
1. Sex, much like death, when handled correctly in fiction mark a change in relationship dynamic. Granted this is when you write a sex scene, not a porn scene where the underlying goal for each is radically different. In this case, what I presented was very much trying to blend the two as I tried to cater to those that just wanted porn while also catering to myself who wanted to watch the shift between Dave and Tyson. Because it marks the change of Tyson and Dave's relationship from brothers to something more romantic, it should be in-game rather than censored.
2. Furries be horny. They want the sex scenes because other furry visual novels have them. They're not wrong for wanting it or even expecting it as there are more VNs with them than without. Or at the very least promising them. So with that there's a level of feeling cheated out of what would be a "reward" come the end of a character arc with it not being in-game.
Though I consider the reward having them alive instead of well... y'know.
"Furries be horny" that made me laugh. 😂😂😂
It's just the way you phrased it that I find it humorous. 😂😂😂
The speed at which the Mr. Wolf fan art arrived perfectly supports this statement🥲
That makes sense…I don’t really mind having sex scenes in VNs, but I’d rather have it matter than just on a whim I suppose…but that’s just me personally :)
*spoilers*
In this case it does matter because of what you said…like with Dean, that actually made an impact in their relationship. But as much as I love Sal to death, it’d be kinda mortifying to imagine him having sex with Dave. I’m not gonna specifically name them, but in some of the furry VNs I’ve been playing and have newly found out about, the past updates have just been sex…I guess I’m a little burned out of it lmao…it’s kind of annoying to be excited for a story update and then sex happens throughout most of it, or the update is just one sex scene and done…nothing against the creators, but I feel like they’re in this gray area between giving fanservice, story, or both :(
no public build in feb, but will there be any this month? just making sure
yep
- Day 19 (Roswell)

OOH WE EATING GOOD
Dang I just saw that this Visual Novel was published two years ago. 😮😮 It is so wonderful that it's still being updated to this day, Congratulations Grizz. 😃😃😃😃
Thank you!
Although two years doesn't seem nearly long enough. Granted, by the end of next year it might finally be in Beta.
What can i say? i fell in love with this VN and Tyson.
I tried but i can't bring myself to do the other routes because Tyson is the best boi but i'm trying to have some courage because the plot is very good.
(Sorry my english is broken)
I'm not better either, but somehow I play 🤣 successful game
sorry for my English
Has the previous passwords changed? Every time I try insert one, say the password is not for that day.
Possible Soilers?:
Most of the passwords work for different people. So, say you put in the password for Hoss on day Seven, it won't work for Dean's day Seven. Other than that I don't know how to help.
pretty sure none have changed apart from Roswells, same password but different day.
Did I not explain it well enough? 🤔🤔
You said passwords work for diferent people but thats only true for the first one currently. The OP also said he knows the passwords so he's already experianced with the system and most probably knows when the passwords worked in the past. You also didn't note that the day to use rosswells password was changed.
(reading this back makes me feel like an ass, i mean nothing by it im just overly analytical)
No you're right, I was the one who didn't explain properly. Also I can take constructive criticism. 🙂🙂🙂
Still sound like an ass when it just comes out as 'let me deconstruct your entire statement'.
I still find it strange that someone keeps down vote carpet bombing the comments here. Just why? Got nothing better to do with their time.
Hello Grizz, I have found a bug of some sort. It is after putting in, I believe its spelled "Timber" when the gang gets off the bus and the driver talks to Dave, it says something found in red font in the upper left corner.
Edit: I forgot to mention that it's the Android version.
It's been fixed on my end. It was reported to the server earlier so will be patched the next time the patron update rolls down likely.
Can someone give me an all spoilers explanation on what this story is about? I'm struggling to get it and I'm not stupid FYI 😆.
I just haven't had time at all to get back into it and don't think I will any time soon. What's the looming danger, what's with the death-rat and why is Dave kind of psycho?
So if someone could oblige, that'd be dandy.
ALSO, is it just me or can Dave date the entire harem?
It's a murder mystery. Answering everything in broad strokes, without being spoiler free, on the main page of the game would defeat the purpose of playing it in the first place.
If you're wanting a central theme for what Password is about, then "dealing with trauma and grief" is not a bad one. Naturally as the one making it I'd recommend playing it rather than reading a synopsis, especially while it's in development.
I don't understand your last question, but each of Dave's friends is a potential "route" to flavour the mystery but dating them isn't mandatory. As such there's no harem route where you date all of them at once. Nor can you 'date' any of the supporting cast either.
I'm just about to play this VN, do you guys have any suggestions what I should pay attention to?
I mean, is there a route for each character (like most other VNs) that needs to be played first?
The story and characters are more independent from each other. For example if Dave (you) is meant to react to somthing in the story that will happen no matter who's route you are on, the routes are what flavour you want to go along with the story. Who will be at daves side when he reacts.
When you can look at the name of the coffee cup just put 'Dave'. The cup isn't for changing your name it unlocks some easter eggs but otherwise it just gives you +1 affection with whatever character's name is on it. Putting 'Dave' gives +1 to everyone which can help if you want to get some of the better interactions like hugging someone when they're sad.
Passwords are usually in the bad ending and is a word that is usually repeated or has more attention drawn to it. If it isn't in the bad ending it's usually in the same day you can go to the vault. The early days (day 1-3) you can go to the vault and thats just for easter eggs not for a needed password.
The choice that locks in what route you are on is when you pick who your partner is for the scavenger hunt.
Is the soundtrack from the VN available anywhere other than the VN itself? I want to listen to it (
and annoy my friends by constantly linking to it whenever I feel like sharing music), but I don't know where to find it.Not yet, no.
I've come to warn that there is a lil error i think in day 18, path A of Roswell's route. It's a simple error. While Dave and Roswell are talking outside, Dave asks himself if he's okay? pretty sure it was supposed to be Roswell saying it ^^
Dave asks:
And then he also responds:
I need help with day 8 at Benson's suicide,any hint?because i stayed for 10 times i resonate and i don't know
Benson has 3 passwords, you find each in the bad ending. Using one will lead to a new chain of events where you can find the next.
i thought 2?
3, 2 bad and 1 good
eh??? i only found
peacekeeper (bad) + betrayal (good), which are the others?

Help on dean's password?
its a lot harder when English isn't ur language, I even use something to collect every word I write
Passwords are almost always in the 'bad ends' there's some that aren't but when that's the case the password will be said on the day you can go to the vault. The first required password is in the bad end. Look for words that are repeated or have more attention given to them.
If thats too hard to understand leave your language and i'll try google translating it into somthing more passable since google translates a bit shit.
I kinda understand what u mean, and ill try it tomorrow bec I have Insomnia
thank you tho I hope I finish it soon, I love the story and I wanna see a real happy end
am i so dumb i still cant find any passwords (((
or maybe its because im russ and still not good at this language

google translate (a little off but more or less)
Пароли почти всегда находятся в «плохом состоянии», есть некоторые, которых нет, но в этом случае пароль будет объявлен в тот день, когда вы сможете перейти в хранилище. Первый требуемый пароль находится в плохом конце. Ищите слова, которые повторяются или которым уделяется больше внимания.
(dont get why it translated the first 'bad end' as 'bad shape' but translated the second as 'bad end')
ohh ok thanks i see thanks for reply really
Well its official. Tyson best boi
Tyson's route never fails to give me a good case of whiplash,
(still luv him tho)
hey grizz got any good lemon pie recipes?
I have the recipe card buried somewhere. Haven't looked at it in a long while, but it's the one mentioned in-game given the stellar results it got me.
Do you prefer pie Grizz? 🤔🤔🤔
I prefer cake, cheese cake to be precise.🙂🙂🙂
Heyy samee
How will I know if I am on track for Tyson's romantic stuff? Tyson's route is pretty much the one I focus on these days, but it always seems like no matter what options I pick, he seems weirded out or freaked if I try to get too romantic or sappy with him.
Tyson's route is always a whirlwind one with alot of whiplash even when you successfully romance him. Thing to remember is tyson doesn't know himself or his own thoughts and also doesn't believe he deserves to be loved.
Also his feelings for Dave are so gay, they're right in the back of the closet with Narnia. Good luck finding them, in other words.
Really!? 😂😂😂😂
This cracked me up. Not sure if that's gonna help me much, but it was still a laugh I needed, so thank you.
Adding to what's been said, as long as you're picking the more affectionate dialogue options in general you'll be on the right track.
Him pulling away and being cold or difficult after being warm is normal. Well, maybe not "normal" exactly, but you're not doing anything wrong gameplay wise.
There are a couple of times I do think you need to hold back though. Like with the hug/kiss choice early on. I always go for the hug because it feels nicer and has the better dialogue afterwards. Trying to kiss there just sort of ends the scene and makes him freak out. I might be wrong of course, but the hug always plays into the "be patient but loving" path I always try to steer Dave down.
^This is a solid approach
aghhhhhhhhhh TYSON OMG >//////////< *dies*
ty day 19 spoilers i guess?
my first half of tyson day 19: wat tf just happen'd
second half: HELL YEA THAT DA GOOD SHIT
Nope it just moves on Grizz will explain the reason at a later date and i'll probably paraphrase it here from patreon so long as it isn't too intrinsically patreon. Though if you're after smut december might have something but im not sure.
The long and short of it is that there isn't a sex scene. I wrote something that could take place during that fade to black, but as Cerberus said I'll be explaining more at a later date.
It'll be the same for the other characters, including the existing one for Dean's route being cut.
I like the look of the CG's you made recently Grizz. Are changing up the style? Or am I just seeing things? 🤔🤔🤔
I'm just getting better as an artist. Some of those CGs are literal years old by comparison.
Guessing its to do with releasing on other platforms think you mentioned the PSN way back when. Though if thats the case could always do the nekojishi route of having smut as an upgrade thats just pc only so that your efforts with deans CGs dont go to waste but its all up to you.
Grizz : "there isn't a sex scene."
Me : *heart begins to ache* 😭
They still canonically have sex, there's just not a scene.
Hah, I know. It's just that I *maaaaybe* was waiting for those intimate, visual sex scenes 👀
I could be slightly pervy, but it's your fault you made the characters so likeable. I'm simping all over them like never before 😆
Ah, well maybe I'll draw something smutty as a side thing once life settles down a bit but it won't be in the VN. As far as a non-visual, written scene. There may be something coming up.
