Is there an official discord for JaySkiBean or the game? I searched online but only found a dead link. It doesn't seem Dave has a server either? Id love to know of any other places I could talk about this game with others

Hey, so while I was trying to complete impossible (not true impossible) the boofie's didn't make a sound while entering the vents, I don't know why this happened (it might be due to me pausing the game as soon as a boofie entered the vent), can you try to fix this bug please

I finally beat Ultimate Mode! YAYA!! I'd say it's a very fitting challenge for the last stage, although I'm not sure if Ultimate Backrooms is possible to clear in one attempt. Either way most of my feedback about the other gamemodes applies here, with the biggest exception being about Ultimate Bunker; hunting down the keys with three Boofies patrolling the area without having to bring them back was great and fair fun, especially since audio attenuation was changed.

And one more thing. You can softlock yourself in the Ultimate Mode hub by crouching in the corner near Tips'n'Tricks Totem.

Now for my reviews on all the Elaine's Memoir modes since I was also able to beat all of them on Extreme.

The first trial is just alright. Once you get into a rhythm with the demon it all comes down to patience as getting the keys becomes RNG as they start floating around. Wish more was done with the Red Light/Green Light mechanic and the map.

The second trial has a steep learning curve, but becomes enjoyable once you start memorizing the maps. I used to hate it, and maybe Normal Mode should only have the obvious differences, but now I think the mode is a pretty tense challenge that has a lot of "Oh lord did I screw up?" moments. Nothing quite captures the feeling of hearing static, checking all three monitors and not registering a single anomaly. Then you hear static again and well, you get the point.

The third trial was my least favorite. There just isn't much to it in my eyes. You just pick a different spot and then doomscroll until the game gives you back control, then pray you're able to find the demon(s) in time. Then you do it again. Extreme mode had my hopes up that you'd have to find Lonky Lanky and hide at the same time, which would've been an interesting mechanic, but the 1v2 gimmick we see instead just doesn't really add much in my opinion.

The fourth trial is the best of them all imo. The atmosphere is great and the design of the demon works perfectly with it. The mode sort of works like Bunker, with you having to bring items back to the beginning in a set order, except their starting positions are the same every time and can't be changed. Maybe a tiny bit of randomness could've been warranted for the harder difficulties, but since the order is random every time and learning the map is already a challenge in itself I think it's fine. I say this though because I don't really notice many differences in the various difficulties. I was expecting Extreme to make me find every book in the Library with a super strict demon that would kill me any time I flashed the camera at nothing, but it honestly felt no different from Hard. I also don't understand why there seems to be a time limit in the library, and wish that it was communicated better to the player. But other than that, this trial was a very solid experience.

With all that being said, I'm very excited for the future of the Boofie's Bunker series. I'd say there aren't many loose ends besides the ending of Ultimate Mode, so whether our journey takes us back to the Chaos Realm or the Waking Realm, I look forward to seeing the story's conclusion. Best of luck to you with development!

I 100% beat Elaine's Memoir! 

Are you meant to unlock Zipper after beating Snowmizzle's Challenge? In general how do you unlock extra Chaos Mode Characters?

(+1)

For that You must beat ultimate mode and then can unlock all the extra character for chaos mode

(1 edit)

Gotcha. That's the last mode I still haven't cleared

PLEASE ADD TO PLAYSTATION OR XBOX

(+2)

May i say i really dislike the monologues being replaced with brief text? I kinda wish you made this a toggle in options for so thad those who want something brief and others that want something of substance both get treated.

Had a lot of fun 100%-ing V2.0! Though, I have yet to attempt True Impossible, I don't really see much of a reason to. The hardest modes for me personally were Impossible and Ultimate in Arty's Memoir, and the Extreme Elevator in Elaine's Memoir. 

Have Boofie and Dorgon ever met eachother

Alright I've been looking for anywhere to see what the community is cooking with trying out this new update but I can't find a thing, not even a discord, and the old JayskiBean discord link is dead so here I am. 




SPOILERS AHEAD FOR NEW UPDATE



Firstly to Jay, I'm LOVING this new update, a great reason to finally do that 100% I've always wanted to try too. Elaine's Memoir though has been a blast, I loved the new challenges, Zelial's was my favorite out of the bunch (Scariest too)  and Florigan's was second best, the other two were well made too. I've almost 100% the Memoir however Expert Elevator is a doosey, I've learned that you can still see the screens when paused but some of these differences are almost impossible to spot even when you pause the screen. It took me forever to notice that one of the skulls will just turn 45 degrees and that it was a difference, I shall never forgive you Jay (Just joking). I still haven't found all the differences since I still get stuck sometimes and it really gets in my head. You can survive with just one anomaly (I think)  but when it hits two, I have to be lightning quick so when two of them I don't know appear I am basically dead and don't know why. I'm sure this had a hard time testing since you know all the differences but jeez this is hard sometimes I try to spam the buttons hoping I click the right one and if I do, I never know what the difference was. Also I please ask for a timer or something to distinguish how far I am, like what floor I'm on or something and we're going to the roof. Anyway those are my frustrations with that, the other thing that is keeping me from 100% is the secret trophy in Lanky Lonky's and Lonky Lanky's Hide n Seek, I can't find that thing for the life of me. I got all the reference characters (great picks btw) but I feel like I've gone up to every wall and surface in there. So to the community has anyone beaten the Extreme Elevator? Also has anyone found the Hide n Seek Secret Trophy?

(5 edits)

The Extreme Elevator took me awhile and was by far the hardest mode in Elaine's Memoir, but I eventually got it. I shared some of the same problems you mentioned, namely being unable to see some of the differences at all, but after enough time I at least found it easier to narrow it down to which rooms weren't different so that guessing was more lenient as a last resort, and just scanning for anomalies quickly as it gets more hectic in general.


The Hide 'n Seek secret trophy should be behind a wall in the last room, by the weird wooden planks(?). If it proves difficult, just double and triple check every wall in that last room, it shouldn't take much longer to find.

(+1)

Anyways, besides Extreme Bunker I've done most of the Arty's Memoir stuff so I'll review all the modes while they're still fresh in my head

Bunker

The main mode of the game. It's a pretty decent stealth challenge, with most of the game being getting keys in good spots and the rest hoping that Boofie doesn't kiss you as you bring them to the entrance. Having your movement slowed while holding keys creates a lot of tension, although nerfing your Stamina until crouching until fully rested seems sort of unfair. Having to track down the key again seems fair punishment enough. Also side note, but I feel like the Stamina/Power limits could've been implemented into some of the other modes. The lamp is also pretty useless in other modes so I wish more was done with that.

Another criticism I have is with Boofie, you either hear him or you don't. The volume of his squeaks doesn't vary much and he's also very hard to hear when he's above/below you (traversing between the basement and main floor via stairs has gotten me killed so many times), leading to determining his location being somewhat of a guessing game. This builds tension, but not in a way that feels consistent.

The atmosphere of the mode is pretty nice though. The bunker becoming darker is a great mechanic and the unique ambience of the keys really adds to the "dreamlike" nature of the game. The bunker itself is also very uncanny, a trait shared by every map in the game, due to the subtle differences in consistency such as Boofie and the keys having an ungodly amount of polygons compared to everything else. The pixelation filter covers things up well though, and while some may call it lazy I personally think it's an appropriate stylistic choice that fits well within the game.

Maze

Can be annoying due to the issue with determining Boofie's location discussed earlier, but I've found that with patience the mode is more than doable thanks to Boofie leaving himself open by "patrolling" the various open areas in the map. Hiding is sometimes difficult however, and navigating the maze itself can be disorienting at times due to its narrow corridors in comparison to the player's speed. Seriously, this is the only mode with no Stamina limit in which I don't run, but I guess it adds another element of skill in evading the Boofies.

Arcade

Probably my favorite mode in the game, it also fits very well with the game's atmosphere. However, it's still a bit prone to RNG, for example say the alarm and phone go off at the same time, the green guy is patrolling below, and the blue gal is in both of the rooms you need to be in. I'm not exactly sure how lenient these characters are with situations like these but on harder difficulties I was definitely pushed into some stressful scenarios. And while the other characters all add enjoyable elements into the level, I wish more could've been done with the orange dude. The orange dots are way too easy to avoid, especially since you're either running away from something or camping in one room in that mode.

Kitchen

In my opinion, the most RNG dependent mode on harder difficulties, although it also has an amazingly unsettling atmosphere. I absolutely adore the background audio, and the liminal nature of the environment (ie the corridor Boofie arrives from) was done great here.

Gamla (the only name I remember due to dying to her so much!) is often nearly impossible to evade on higher difficulties if she decides to just go to your floor if you're in an odd spot. There also aren't really that many good places to hide from her, despite that being the main gimmick of the level. Although hiding from Boofie in conjunction with keeping track of Gamla provides great tension. The small black burgers are also an interesting element and pretty fair since they can't chase you and don't go to hiding spots.

I also wish more was done with the idea of having a map based on verticality. If there were more floors and Gamla worked a bit different it would probably be one of the best modes in the game but as it stands it's just good.

This mode also has one of the more interesting secrets. It's probably only possible on Easy mode due to the lack of a time limit but it was a nice challenge akin to getting the keys one-by-one in the bunker. It probably goes on for a bit too long but having to survive in the kitchen for an uncomfortable amount of time is probably the point.

Backrooms

My personal favorite mode. The Kinetic and Static Images have great designs and the level itself has some of that juicy lore with the notes. Extreme mode in particular is very enjoyable due to the pressure of getting all the notes before the Kinetic Image enrages. Planning a route through the map is a very interesting experience, with you having to adapt to the differing note locations every time (spotting them on the landmarks can also be tricky at times, adding to the tension). However I wish there were less dead ends, but that's probably a skill issue on my part.

Christmas Challenge

The map and atmosphere is great here, very uncanny especially with that one cabin with the Boofie balloons and the appearance of Blitz himself. Like WHAT even is he?! Part of the difficulty of the mode is knowing where all 30 presents actually are, but once you get a route down it's pretty straightforward, sometimes to a fault so maybe a bit of randomness would've been nice. Stealing Boofie's hats is also fun.

Valentines' Challenge

It's basically Pac-Man. If it didn't have a map I would've probably hated it but because it does it creates a very unique, stressful, but overall fair challenge. The design of this level is also incredibly weird, I love all the random stuff attached to the walls, and the Oui-Ouis and their doors have great designs. My only complaint is the lack of an endless mode because there's definitely potential for that.

Yeah lots of text here but that's what you get for making all the modes so different :P although I enjoy the craziness. I also understand that it's your first game so don't take my criticism too hardly, I just like getting my thoughts out more than anything. I'm super excited to try out Elaine's Memoir but for now I just gotta suffer through Extreme Bunker. Eventually...

Also love your YT content especially the AEwVS vids and you forcing Mystman12 to play ABiBaZ. Although with the controversy surrounding MrDrNose I understand if you don't wish to continue that series.

Best of luck in the future, whether it be on Steam (we can hope) or on YouTube!

I just had the worst fail ever. Extreme Bunker. 7/8 keys. One key left in the first room to the left from the entrance...

I didn't even hear him coming x_x

2.0 IS REALLLLLL

(+1)

It was really nice to get to revisit this game for Elaine's memoir! It all felt pretty well balanced and ngl I was quite excited to see Lanky Lonky and Lonky Lanky again. Looking forward to going back through some of my other favourites with the new bugfixes and tweaks you've made!

Haven't played it, but i watched thegamesalmons (the guy that jayskibean edits for) 4 hour video for this game all the way through, and it looks really cool. nine out of ten.

Edit: finally played it, was too scared to do anything. I like watching people play scary stuff but I don't really like playing the scary stuff myself. Still, the game is cool. Nine out of ten.

why does it open steamvr

i wish Jay would come back make a mac port for 1.0 or the latest version and then start to remaster the project

(2 edits) (+2)

It's actually sad Jay abandoned this game... I would actually be surprised if he made the 2.0... Unless he didn't say he'll abandon it forever


Edit: I remember him saying a long time ago he's gonna remaster this

he said 2.0 was canned plus i think he said that like 6 years ago so i think he forgot about that or it got canned too

Well that aged-

(2 edits)

In the current version in the arcade the green whatever name it was is killing me in the closet upstairs so yay for that 

(1 edit)

question:does deleting the save file with D.D.D makes every trophy except LU disappear?

It makes all your progress gone, like trophies, LU, etc.

ight

Dear Jayskibean,


For some reason, everytime I press Artie's Memoir, It just cuts to a black screen and doesn't load or anything. Do you have any idea why this is happening 


-Alfie

unfortunately,jayskibean (AKA the creator of the game) has abandoned this game so there'll probaly be no more bug fixes nor updates


saddest part? this game was supposed to have a 2.0 version with a whole new chapter,but it got canned

(+2)
