Hey, I was expecting someone to have already mentioned this, but since that isnt the case, Im going to ask myself. For some reason, when I tried to play, it kept spamming the confirmation button (I don’t know which one, but it’s the one that opens the menu in the game), and I can’t do anything about it. I start the game, and it behaves as if Im constantly mashing the button. I removed my keyboard and the problem persisted. Do you have any idea why this would happen?
It goes like this: I open the game, and if Im not fast enough, it automatically starts a new game and skips all the dialogue. When the game starts, it just keeps opening and closing the menu. The last version i played was the 5th one and didnt have problems at all.
Well, when I downloaded the game on my computer I didn't have this problem, so it's a mystery at the moment why it happens and strange that it happens only now and didn't happen before since there was no change in the menu in any of the updates, but, I can try to find out
Searching for problems like this online, the only forum I found is about someone having this problem because they play on a tablet and it's some incompatibility the old drivers have with Rpg maker, do you play on a laptop, desktop, tablet or anything else? Do you still have the 5th version saved or overwritten, if so, does it run normally? I'm really intrigued by this and I think it's a good idea to try to see how to solve it, which I had no idea could happen.
I use a desktop, but when I said the menu shows up as if Im button mashing, Im talking about the in game pause.
Its like the pause button is being pressed repeatedly for no reason. The game starts in the menu, then it confirms the new game and stuff like its in auto.
I know its not my keyboard because this happens even when its disconnected, so I really have no idea what's going on.
It's the Z key or the Enter Key or the Left Mouse click being spammed as those 3 are the confirm buttons, in the "New Game/Chapter Select" it's made that if you click confirm goes directly through New Game, again, I'm lost in this as well as it does not happen when I download the game. When I search online about it in forums, most of the replies are about having a controller/gamepad on, which I don't think is the case, and about cleaning the Keyboard/Mouse, which, again, I don't think is the case, so I may be pulling the obvious here, but have you tried downloading it again and testing it?
Again, the only person I found with this same problem was in this thread: https://forums.rpgmakerweb.com/index.php?threads/everytime-i-start-the-game-the-... It's not something inherently on the game so I don't even know how I can change it to make it work in a hotfix, what bugs me is how it worked fine before and now it's happening this. I'll try to repost the game again, but for this, I need to check and hide the new parts I'm already working on it, I didn't even had time to check if they're still working properly and are not interfering with anything prior to them, so I'll be checking this and them re-releasing the game to see if anything changes.
Since checking it all over again to see if any bugs were made takes some time and I'm not even sure it would work in your case, I'll link it to the new build without checking, try downloading this version and see if it changes, again, it could have bugs&glitches since I didn't test it beforehand. I'll put in as "Build7ver2" in the downloads, if you could please, give me a heads up if it worked or not so I can hide it to not cause confusion I'd be grateful
Sorry for all of this, I wish I'd be able to help out more
Thanks! And sorry... The forum you posted helped me to figure out the answer. My drawing tablet was on, and for some reason, it was doing ghost clicks. I don’t know if it’s because the driver is old or something like that, but when I disconnected it, it worked normally.
Again, thanks for answering and sorry for the inconvenience
This game was sooo good! I love the protagonist so far and there is such a huge mystery behind everything and everyone. Jack is such a lovely guy, I hope nothing bad happens to him xD
What's up with Zack? Why does he and Luck seem to know Raymond? What did he do to make them so aware of him? Why did he get teary-eyed when Raymond held his hand? What's up with Raymond's family? What do the numbers have to do with everything?
Also, "Presa Por Conta Do Luto De Seu Filho" and "Preso Por Abandonar Os Que Ama"....... HMMMM??? *sussy eyes*
My theory is that everyone in the mansion died in the real world and must now repent for some sin they did, but how are they all connected and why are there so many people? Is it a coincidence that all of them are from the same place, and that they all died at the same time? But then again, Zack and Luck seem to know something about this mansion, so maybe my afterlife theory is wrong...?
One mystery after another and so many questions, I just can't wait for the next update to come out! Just what an amazing work, I hope you will keep this up! :D
Just for your information, reading your comment made my day. I've been smiling for half an hour and I'm still smiling, I'm extremely happy that you liked it! Sisyphean Mansion is a project that, as laborious as it is because it's, well, made by me, myself and I, is one that I have a great deal of affection for and I've been working on its story for years, which has changed and adapted to become the one we have today. I don't intend to abandon it in any way, and the next update should be out in the middle of March, and yes, there's still a lot of ground to cover, a lot to still be told and a lot to be resolved., it may take some time, but every mystery will be unfolded in their own time. Thank you!
It's hard to say but, yep..... again. Now it happened after first debate in prologue. Maybe I should turn language in my system to Spanish(it your native language, isn't it? Sorry if I wrong). Also, maybe you give me your work email there I can report about all bugs, because I don't want to spam "negative" comments about bugs here on itch. I apologize again for making problems(because I didn't see other comments about bugs haha.... :( Thank's for yur responding and for fixing the game promptly
Again, I'm sorry about this, I don't have all the files checked at once because there are more than 1200 image files, and checking them one by one ends up being rather tiresome, so I apologize for having to go through such an experience with the game, I ended up fixing this and another one that would happen to you later on, and I don't mind comments like that, on the contrary, I appreciate it because my goal is to try to fix as much and improve as much of the game as I can!
So, me again, and again another bug. It happens then I play mini game Steal the Pile for the first time(in prologue). I hope i added image, because it is a bit bagged. If it is not theres is an error:Failed to download: 1Option22SegundaOp%C3%A3oPrimeiroStealthePile1.rpgmvp
Sorry for bothering you, I don't touch any files, unpacking all correctly, maybe it's just my computer, idk, if you don't want to work with it I understand, sorry again, i just really like story
and yes, it softlocked me again, becaus I have infinite loading after that, and can't save too
Don't worry, it's cause in my computer this doesn't happen, didn't saw this image also had an accent in the file name, I'm at work right now and will get home in probably like, 4 hours, I can get this fixed, thanks for the heads up! I'll comment again when I end up doing it!
And don't worry about bothering, as I said again, it's something I didn't even thought about it so it's better to fix as soon as I can
It's me and the habit of naming files in my native language instead of english and using accents in the words
Ok, I uploaded a new version, same name, it should work now. And to keep the save files, just extract the zip file in the same folder that the other one was and click to overwrite all existing files, it should work and keep the save files. I'd love to say it will now work 100% but again, this kind of error doesn't happen in my pc so again, if something happens, I'd love to know! Thanks for this one as well!
So, i download this game today. unpack file without touching anything and i have this softlock(photo). the moment it takes is prologue, first location, first meeting wih Layra. What should I do?
Ok, replaying this version of the game I have here, this error didn't occur, I've seen a similar problem happen when I was testing android builds with the soundtrack files, this mostly occurs when the software isn't computing the file due to some incompatibility, but it was all of the soundtrack files, not a specific one like this, I guess since the other image files considering the print are working fine is just something when the download happened. Can you try downloading and extracting the file again and see if the error persists? After checking through the game program event here, it's basically the same as the other so I'm puzzled as to why this is happening. If the error continues I'll try to release an updated version changing this specific bit of the program Also, are you playing on the computer or using an external software like Joiplay to play on the cellphone?
Also, I think I understand why this happened, after checking I realized this specific Layra's portrait had an accent in the name when I named the file, even if this error persists, it's probably because of the hardware in this case not able to read by not having the accent, I think, even though I fixed I need to check every other iteration where this specific Layra's portraits appear, change it and then it should probably work. Just gimme some time, I'm altering these right now and I'll do a heads-up when I finish and update it. Didn't even thought about it not working cause of this, lol, here works fine but I can see why this happens
Ok, there was 1 portrait of Layra, 2 of Jason, and 3 of Zack with accents on the file's name, I went ahead, took it out, revised the program events with them, and speed playthrough the game and it seemed to work fine now, my computer doesn't have a problem with the accents so maybe there might be another file that got through, if you could, please try downloading again and see if it works, anything else happening, please tell, thanks for this, it's best to fix it now than later on!
Hi. I download again and everything is fine. THANK YOU <3 now i can enjoy this unique project. Also, replying to your questions: i played on computer. windows 10 x64. I dont use any other programms to run this game.
I loved the game! During my gameplay i came up with some 2 typos, one was in the encounter with Zack, and the other was during the prologue when Emily was searching for the documents. But i gotta say, wasnt expecting this last scene at all, during most of the prologue i tought they were in a similar situation to the manga of Ichinose Deadly Sins, but that would not explain a lot of stuff in the chapter 1. Either way keep up with the good work, im waiting for your next update!
First of all, I'm so glad you enjoy it! It's a bit of a time-consuming project, but I'll be posting updates as often as I can (Normally a build every 2 months)
Secondly, I really appreciate you showing me the typos, it's an easy thing to fix and it often goes unnoticed when I read and re-read. When I get home, I'll go through the typos and correct them, because if I leave it to do it later, I'll probably end up forgetting.
And, I've never read the Ichinose Family manga, but I remember it becoming popular last year. One day I do intend to read it, I have no spoilers, but I do know that there's the family amnesia and some mysterious scenarios that keeps popping up to them so I understand the connection lol
I don't doubt that I'll end up eventually reading it, I'll only finish my journey through Clamp's works first, I've picked up several of them to read, I just finished RG Veda today, the best one so far.
And I'm glad you like Lewis! I'll say though that his route will take a while to come, I want to get to a certain point in Jack's Route before working on the others, I think things will make more sense when it arrives.
I did the character art, writing and programming myself. What I didn't do was the soundtrack, some of the background art and the plugins for the RpgMaker
Thanks! And, not really, I started to learn how to draw in pixel art just for the sake of doing the character sprites in the game and took a long time to make and create them for the sake of me not being an artist myself. Appreciate the fact that you liked the character art though
Wanted to report a bug. During the investigation segment of the outdoor area, you can try to leave during this bottom right exit, and the game will warn you, but unlike the other exits, it won't turn you around and spit you out...you just get stuck there and can't reach the menu.
I just got home and spotted the bug, it was something simple, I'll wait and see if I find any other bugs to release an update. I greatly appreciate reporting bugs that in the midst of everything end up going unnoticed. Thank you!
Just a suggestion, you might want to mention that the platform is Windows-only (AFAICT). There’s no OS information whatsoever here on the project page, that I can see.
I've just added it, I didn't realize I had not add it in before, thanks! In the future I plan to add more ports, however I'm struggling with Android/IOS one, hopefully I'll manage to do it
I can only imagine the undertaking a project like this entails. And this was a wonderful beginning. Will each route have it's own unique story or will there be a general overlap of how things happen between them?
I even posted it as a prototype because, as I'm doing practically everything myself, I don't want to leave any deadlines or anything like that, so thank you! Each route will be similar in many ways at first, but will evolve into its own story, as each one aims to tackle a particular aspect of the mystery, while tackling the others more superficially. And within the 4 main routes there will be small sub-routes that will have many similarities, with only a few alterations according to the choices you choose altering some scenes and dialogues.

I recommend the read! Its was an amazing manga, but got cancelled, so the ending is kinda rushed
But my comparison hold no big spoilers, so dont worry about it!
If i find anything i gonna report then, was afraid it could be kinda rude the way i just blatantly said it
And im waiting for the Lewie Route, the best boy
I don't doubt that I'll end up eventually reading it, I'll only finish my journey through Clamp's works first, I've picked up several of them to read, I just finished RG Veda today, the best one so far.
And I'm glad you like Lewis! I'll say though that his route will take a while to come, I want to get to a certain point in Jack's Route before working on the others, I think things will make more sense when it arrives.
Do I need WinRar to play?
My bad, I mindlessly used WinRar as default, I added the normal Zip version
Much thanks!
Great job on the story, it really drew me in! I find the characters to be really well-developed and varied. Looking forward to the full release!
Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it. It's going to take a while for the full release, but as time goes by I'll be posting updates
Out of curiosity, who does the character art for the game? I like the style
I did the character art, writing and programming myself. What I didn't do was the soundtrack, some of the background art and the plugins for the RpgMaker
Nice work! Do you have a gallery?
Thanks! And, not really, I started to learn how to draw in pixel art just for the sake of doing the character sprites in the game and took a long time to make and create them for the sake of me not being an artist myself. Appreciate the fact that you liked the character art though

I pray your passion burns long and steady~ I look forward to what comes next :3
