Found a [DATA MISSING] room. Here are the steps: 1. Go through the motions in the original house on a fresh save.
2. Do the chair pentagram puzzle thingy.
3. Go into the hallway with the bird sounds (behind invisible wall).
4. Fall off the edge WITHOUT interacting with the question mark at the end of the bird hallway (I'm not entirely sure you don't have to press the question mark, but it worked for me).
5. Once the game closes open it back up and you will be in the living room without any furniture. At this point, wait around until some morse code plays and the music stops. (btw the morse code translates to "Learn The Way Of The Old Wind").
6.After the music stops go upstairs and interact with the door and go back down, there should now be a clock in the middle of the living room. Walk around it and interact with the green door at the back of the room. You will now be at a screen that says [DATA MISSING]. Idk what to do past this. You have to delete your save to return.
Awesome find! Following your instructions, I wasn't able to interact with the door though. The clock just chimes 12 times and then the game crashes and goes back as if it were a new save.
I think you have to interact with the door on the second floor after waiting for the music to fade out, then when the clock appears interact with the back door before it starts chiming.
I'm stuck on the pitch black room with a spot light on the player, and in the distance a spot light on a chair. I can see a path that leads away from the starting point in the NW direction but I don't get how you are supposed to figure out where the bend in the path is. I have two guesses as to where the path is but I just always fall. See the picture.
I've been able to reach much further on the right path, a text file in the logs folder led me to the right, its very difficult to stay straight on the path due to the camera control however i did see a glimpse of another area down the right path the chair may be a red herring
Yeah, I've seen that as well. If you line yourself with the middle of the other path and use q to make sure you're going in a straight path and keep jumping as you go forward you'll have some weird timed jumps and eventually see something slightly off to the left side of the screen as you start to fall into the abyss.
oh i hadnt even tried jumping, ive been facing back to the starting circle to judge distance and have a pretty good idea of the limit of that path. im taking a break for now so maybe a jump from that end could lead to something. the note in the logs folder leads me to believe right is the correct path but the "she followed the rules; he broke the rules" could also mean that courage (he) is meant to "break the rules" and go down the left path
yea your right! I was finally able to line myself up with the "right" path (SE direction from the start) and counted my steps from the point I left the spot light and counted 35 "waddles". By waddles I mean the number of times his head bobs to the side wile walking. Another way to get yourself lined up correctly is to go down the "left" path 25 waddles with the camera facing the spot light, then go back without turning the camera. Then stand at the edge of the spotlight on the "right" side and count 35 waddles and stop. this is as far down that path as I have gotten. facing away from the spotlight in the direction courage is facing then jumping off at that point I do see something on my left.
Also, duckenheimer pointed out that you can use a spectrogram app and put it up to your speaker and you get a map. Lets use the waddle technique to count how many waddles until each turn on the map. The thing you are seeing to the left (as shown in the video) is probably the exit arrow on the map.
EDIT: The start square is 10 waddles.
EDIT 2: I can confirm the map is legit although graphically its not 1-1 pixel perfect. 17 waddles left, 14 forward, 10 waddles left seems to work so far. I haven’t tested Right yet.
Amazing work! I'm currently trying to walk the right path however im having a hard time counting waddles so im using a stopwatch on my phone as a metric. So far it seems the first section of the right path falls off pretty much right at 15 seconds from the edge of the spotlight. I haven't been able to feel out the turn on the end of the path, maybe i keep orienting myself incorrectly? So I decided to take the left path instead. The left path's first turn is 7 seconds in. I'm taking a break for now but I'll update this reply after any new finds. Good luck! EDIT: Managed the first turn on the right, you also want to walk it for 15 seconds.
100%, I remember seeing early pictures of this in a magazine I had as a kid and imagining what it'd be like to play a game as Courage. I was devastated when it stopped being shown and am glad this turned up so many years later!
I've done a lot, but I may finally be stuck. Got to the clock in the center of the room, crashed, then started over again. This time instead of jumping off in the area behind the wall, I explored the gray area more until I found the funeral room. Now I'm trying to figure out how to determine the path in the area with the mostly black nothingness between two white platforms.

Thank you for the morse translation, I took entirely too long to locate a pen and paper to document it when I reached this point earlier!

Theres Another Way And Its Jumping Over The Rail

There are many secrets in the game. But tell me: was this game really a PSX project?

I tried messing with my screen gamma and changing my system clock, but no luck there.
THIS IS THE BEST GAME I'VE PLAYED THIS YEAR
I love this game
