Notes

25 years without a.mp3

25 years without a footjob. Think about what that does to a man. AAAAAAAAAA-

A meme voice line that was sentence mixed by the developer from other recorded lines as a joke.34

Secret Message!.ogg

Ah, a nosy one, aren't ya? Looking in a game files for secret information... heehee, typical. Sorry to break it for you, but there's nothing you wouldn't see in a proper game in here. Well, except this, I suppose. Anyways, uh, how's your day been?

Unused Sound Effects#

SFX_Foghorn.ogg
A meme foghorn sound.

Old Code#

The game's main code is stored in the "data" folder, but there's also an old version of it called "data - Copy". The contents of both folders' files are identical, except for the three files listed below.

data - Copy/Map001.json
This version of "Harvey's Booth" map doesn't have the command that plays "VA_Prompt.ogg" voice line.

data - Copy/Map001.json (last modified on 2025.07.23)

data/Map001.json (last modified on 2025.07.24)

data - Copy/MapInfos.json
The third map, "Good Ending", has different values for "scrollX" and "scrollY".

data - Copy/MapInfos.json (last modified on 2025.07.23)

data/MapInfos.json (last modified on 2025.07.24)

{"id":3,"expanded":false,"name":"Good Ending","order":3,"parentId":0,"scrollX":832,"scrollY":640},
{"id":3,"expanded":false,"name":"Good Ending","order":3,"parentId":0,"scrollX":819,"scrollY":457},

data - Copy/System.json
This file has a different value for "versionId" and "editMapId" (the last map selected in RPG Maker MV).

data - Copy/System.json (last modified on 2025.07.23)

data/System.json (last modified on 2025.07.24)

"editMapId": 3,
...
"versionId": 20444349,
"editMapId": 1,
...
"versionId": 75096896,

js/plugins - Copy.js
This is an old version of "plugins.js" that was last modified on 2024.10.06. The "plugins.js" was last modified on 2025.07.24.

  • A new plugin called "Aetherflow_PreloadEverything" was added on 2025.06.23.
  • The plugins "SRD_GameUpgrade" and "SRD_PreloaderCore", which were enabled in "plugins - Copy.js", are disabled in "plugins.js". This is likely because they were replaced in favor of the "Aetherflow_PreloadEverything" plugin.
  • A new plugin called "Olivia_AnimatedPictures" was added on 2025.06.24.
  • The plugins "YEP_OptionsCore", "MOG_TitlePictureCom", "MadeWithMv" and "Eli_BackgroundManagerPro" were added on 2024.10.06, but they are not enabled in "plugins - Copy.js".
  • Some of the plugins had a few values changed.

Debug#

Watch on YouTubeWhen the "Debug" switch is set to true, several things are changed:

  • The introduction section gets a new line:
You also can't help but notice the man has a very similar voice to you... identical, even.
  • The red tinting applied to Harvey's portraits on clicking isn't removed afterwards.
  • A very small part of an image called "$Me.png" appears at the specific spot. Clicking on it will give the player 1000 dollars.
  • Pressing 0 on number row (not on numpad) will give the player 1000 dollars.
  • The fighting scene after buying the knife is omitted completely. Instead of it, a message is displayed:
CUT! We're skipping this part!

The side effects of this skip are stall parallax not changing to its dark version and Harvey still having his left hand intact during screaming.

  • Instead of credits, a message addressed to Harvey's voice actor appears:
That's the end of the debug build.
Can't wait to see how Harvey turns out...
...Dexter!
  • Since credits are not displayed, the jumpscare after getting the Bad Ending also doesn't happen.

Super Debug#

Watch on YouTubeThe "Super Debug" switch's purpose is to skip buying every object before the knife. It has three special voice lines that were recorded by the developer.6

VA_SuperDebug.ogg

Wait a minute, why do I feel so...

VA_SuperDebug2.ogg

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

VA_SuperDebug3.ogg

Uh oh.

The side effect of this skip is that all objects before the knife are treated as unbought.
