Vermis - Fan Game

I found a bug: if you die in combat, you can continue attacking and keep interacting with the game as normal. Any damage will then re-trigger the death screen but it's irrelevant - you can keep going, virtually immortal but you're not getting XP anymore. I spotted it while fighting Aspect of the Dream - it killed me but I noticed the game does not prevent me from typing commands, so I attacked it with success, then continued the journey with negative HP.

Bug report: the health does not save between upgrades (resets to 3).

Are you gonna make vermis II a separate game or are you just going to incorporate it into this one?

Hi,  leveling up health doesn't seem to work. When I add the point the stat will initially change on the character screen but when I go back to the character screen the stat is back to what it was, the down arrow for the stat is also no longer grey and I can decrease the stat down to 0 giving me -points for some reason, until I increase it back to what it was. The actual health remains unchanged too although I'm not sure if 1 health stat = 1 health point. Other stats I've leveled up seem to work fine

I'm on the web version.

I found a bug, whenever I want a new game with the previous character i used (lost old glory, died to the stench champion)and  i click on it it immediately kills me, locking me from picking another option by blocking the command box. When I quit the game freezes.

It says "press f9 to skip" the intro stuff once you die like the loading screen and the poem, but it doesn't seem to work?

Also, would you be open to making the options selectable, rather than typing required? Sort of like "Pokemon" or other RPG's where you have a little table to select using arrow keys and enter.

what command am i meant to be using here ive spent the last 30 minutes trying to figure it out

This is an amazing game, I love the gameplay and it's really easy to get invested and get lost in it. 

Edit: forget the complaint that was something going on, on my end

Can you consider making the downloadable versions window resizable, I have an ultrawide monitor and it's just too stretched to play. Can't play in the browser either due to some memory error it keeps throwing.

Unfortunately, I encountered softlock at this point after defeating some monster in Flutewood Forest

i get "index out of bounds"

If you press confirm  in the character tab, you get 1 free life point

how do i get past throught the door

How do i even beat the Stench champion

Is the art book literally just a book pretending to show game lore for a game that doesn't exist? It looks pretty cool I'm just confused about it

Really cool game, I love it. On my first playthrough I had a bug where all enemies, NPCs, and items kept respawning after I saved and loaded, and going into the character menu all stats were 0 and hitting confirm just set all my stats to 0 and would gain no experience no matter how many enemies I killed (I was a stone scholar, if it matters). I fixed it by creating a new character as a cursed fool.


(SPOILER ALERT)

Does the game currently end after beating the abhorrent beast? Trying to 'go inside' after killing him just returns 'the path towards go inside is locked'. It's alright if that's as far as it goes now, I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything. 

maybe I'm just stupid or something but HOW do you choose a character??? Cause when I choose one so that I can see their strenghts and stuff like that I can't type comfirm and when I klick on the box where you type and type comfirm then it says I can'r do that uhm sorry if this is a stupid question

is it possible to make an input via the phone, otherwise the game loads through the browser, but I can't press the buttons

Is there a translation planned?

Hello, the game is wonderful! I would like to ask you to add functions for the convenience of the game, namely, so that you can use Tab to add commands to the console, scroll to previous commands using arrows. Well, so that after death I don't have to restart the game every time (I'm stuck on helmet's beast and I have to turn off the game every time and watch the screensaver after death). It would also be great to see more settings, for example, a button to turn off all these BIP BIP BOb BOB sounds or a more detailed visual setting (in some images it is very difficult to understand what I am looking at). Thank you for your work on the game!

P.S. If someone knows how to defeat this forest bastard, help huh.

This game is great! I love vermis and I love this interpretation of it, but I've found a few bugs.

(SPOILERS)

After fighting the Stench Champion and getting infected, once outside I saved and once the status went away I still took poison damage indefinitely throughout the playthrough, this was only solved by closing and re-opening the game. I even took infection damage in the character select screen when I quit without closing the game!

Many NPC conversations don't reset between playthroughs, so I'll be on a new save and the frog knight will always be on their last line of dialogue - this persists regardless of whether or not I have closed the game.

I hope this helps!

Also it took me so long of traversing the flutewood forest trying to find the key to go inside after the Helmet's Beast before finally reading that its unfinished.

Fantastic joob, i love this game so much!!!
but i still cant go to the hidden chambers, I type go forward after using the skull, but the path appears to still be blocked. Anyway, i love this game.

Love it. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong, but I can't seem to (SPOILER) enter the hidden chamber after using the skull on the statue in the tomb.

If it is a bug, it might be important to note that I went ahead and beat the boss first, then went back and used the skull on the statue.

I think I froze the game! I was playing online, and I hit the tab button, curious if my prompt would be completed automatically. I wanted to talk to the frog knight, so I had entered "talk fro" and then hit tab. It seems the game also freezes after I die and I click the quit button.

But otherwise, I love this so much! The addition of the computer ambiance was really immersive!

Really cool that you did this!  You captured the vibe of the book really well.  A couple quality of life suggestions:

Please provide a setting to turn off or reduce the wobbly screen effect.  It got a bit unpleasant after a while.

Pressing tab crashes the game (in firefox).  I wanted to try autocompleting commands with tab.

Let us press up to autofill the last command.  It would be helpful when cycling through NPC dialog.

Error: Couldn’t load project data at path “.”. Is the .pck file missing? If you’ve renamed the executable, the associated .pck file should also be renamed to match the executable’s name (without the extension).

Were other able to install the .exe?

Very excited that someone put the work in to make Vermis playable like a crunchy old computer game. Well done!

i can't seem to use any of my inventory items. I got the Whistling Death and a catacomb mushroom, but when i try to use/equip it, it says that I don't have it despite them showing up on the screen. Even the inventory prompt doesn't register them, just my starting items ;w;

I know it is old school and such, but if you can make that when we type the prompt is focused automatically... that could be a saviour. Anyway... this feels and sounds amazing. Good Work!

You're a legend T_T can i ask where it currently ends? I can't tell if I played through everything or if i just got stuck lol

I would suggest a different font, I'm having issues reading it.

This is a helluva start. I hope you continue it, especially with the increasing publicity. 

I immediately recognized Kobold, great choice, great work.
