Ok, uploaded a patch. If you've been getting the 'Interface' object has no attribute 'focused' error, download the patch from the first post.

Officially shipping Dwight and Tina :3 The game was great, and the ending was totally unexpected(at least to me). The Final Rule scared me with all those(fake) psychos running around and betraying each other :O
Help please-In which CG do I have to click the button? I tried to search the whole CG gallery but was unsuccessful..... :(
I'm glad you've enjoyed it.
That ship is canon by the way.
As to the button: Its in the scene right before Dwight dies in The Final Rule, where he's looking out at Tina walking away. Find it, click it, and finish the Episode as normal. The extra scene should appear after the credits.

(Free at last!)
First, a confession. When I clicked the download link for this game a couple of weeks back and saw the 350+MB file size (more than a third of my daily internet download limit ^^), I thought, 'This better be worth it.'

It was. Twice, maybe even three times over.

This has been a boatload of fun to play through.

I've got a few (minor) nitpicks about the grammar/word choice here and there, but everything else--the sprites, the branching routes, the neat little surprises and not-quite surprises--was nothing short of wonderful. The epilogue and extra scenes were especially interesting, and made playing the game even more rewarding.

tl;dr
Great job, more power, and looking very much forward to the continuation! :)

Glad you liked it. And sorry about the file size, I tried to use JCC to compress the images but it doesnt agree with Python 3+

And yeah, the epilogues and extra scenes were written in order to compliment the main stories. That's why they were locked until the end.
What it the 'Broken Pieces' bonus that did that?

Hey I was just wondering if you could give me some details on the routes/endings.
I played 'The Final Rule' and
I got the endings where Tina stabs Dwight, and the one where she throws her knife into his chest.
Is that it for the first scenario, or is there something else to find? Do the choices only affect which of
the two endings you see
?
I'm assuming The Final Rule is supposed to be played first, since it's higher up, so should I just move on to 'Lost Code'?

Also I have a suggestion: Disable the player profiles until at least one ending has been seen. They're very spoiler-filled!

PS. Dwight and Tanya are so cute! (Individually, not together, actually... Hmm... :P)

I really can't answer for the Final Rule since I only wrote Lost Code, but I can tell you that in The FInal Rule
Find a button on that last CG before Dwight starts to black out and you'll see what happens to Tina after the end.
And I thought I did. Huh, oh well. Most people jump to the story usually then look at the bonus stuff.

Well, the only way you'd get that error is if you happen to run the game on an older version of Ren'Py. So I suggest you redownload the game.

Where is the button in the picture of Tina walking away (after she kills Dwight)?
I've spent ages looking for it but can't seem to find it.
Also,
Is there anyway to stop Dwight dying?
Love the game though. :)

Thanks! I played through it all (noticed a few typos, but other than that everything was spot on) and I think it's one of the few games that I've played that had really good extras. Not only did they give you extra information, but they also were quite funny (the Confessions coming to mind here). Plus, they helped make the game feel less scary (at least to me they did), but the balance of humor was just right, enough to make you enjoy the character interaction, but not enough to make you feel like the game isn't serious.

I look forward to the second one!

Oh, and
I was seriously shocked to find out that Player 1 was really a murderous crazy person!
It took me by surprise.
