Found all the info, put it in to the database fields but couldn't select guilty. Only not guilty. Got stuck for about 15 minutes before I decided to hand in the towel (had to set it to story mode to see if I was doing anything wrong/missing anything, and I wasn't).
Hey there! Firstly, thanks so much for playing our game! We really appreciate it. Rest assured you did everything correctly! Some things are meant to be ;)
Overall a fun game! That ending man, what a twist! Really like the pacing of the game, only complaint would be there is no variety in the death scenes and ended up becoming a bit predictable. Amazing work!
Thanks so much for playing again! We would love for you to try our new horror game ReCursed. Hope to see ya there :)
omg I feel really dumb for not expecting that twist ending. There were so many extremely obvious signs. Great game!
A great sequel to Cheating Death! I love the twist. At first I was going, what? The detective is actually named Kyl. T Knight? Why are there bell peppers in the trash? And hm, the killer that keeps getting me has spiky blond hair... Oh well, I have this thing to fill out. But I can only select Guilty... and then the ending made me shout. The hiding elements were again well done. I was a bit confused with the tutorial at first which didn't explain anything but dying a few times cleared up my confusion. Overall really fun game. Would love to see what comes next!
Got me a few times. Well done
This game is very cool. I loved games that are like this! Reminds me of Scrutinized... Anyway, keep up the good work!
Jang Games, thank you so much for reaching out to me to play this game! I loved the first game and I loved this one even more! The ending was insane! It was an honor to play this.
Hi Amber, thank you so much :)
You can try out our new horror game ReCursed. Hope to see ya there!
It was fun to play.
Hi there! Thanks for playing. Something weird happened towards the end with the door and we're not sure why. We'll definitely look into it.
Hey will there be more to this series? I'd love to play more! :D
Yes! We're back :) ReCursed
Hi! Thanks for playing. Unfortunately, I can't exactly deduce how you died the last time since the sound was cut off. I suspect that when you were in the locker and the initial footstep cues played, he left shortly after a few seconds of scanning the room and not finding you. Then, after a while he came back to scan the room, to which you pressed Escape and he was still there. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoyed! Maybe someday you can try it again and see if you can survive! I can tell you that you do have the mechanics down; after that the game isn't too bad!
i play a little bit more of the game and beat it awesome game dude. keep up the good work
Wow the ending caught me off guard
Hope you enjoyed playing! ^^
finally got around to playing the sequel and i loved it!! it took the formula of the first game and amplified it. and i didn't even realize the twist at first but now that i know, it makes the game even cooler!
Thank you for playing! We definitely appreciate your feedback and commentary. We hope to see you again :)
The time is now :) We're back
ReCursed
This was pretty cool. I was pretty dumb at first and didn't understand the ending. I had to go back and edit in a new ending for my video :)
Thank you so much for playing! I enjoyed watching your reactions and gameplay. We didn't want to provide too many clues; wanted to keep the twist as crisp as possible :)
No worries. Pretty good twist once I stopped being dumb :)
Hi Rob! We would love to see you play our new horror game ReCursed. Cheers!
I'll give it a look!
That Game Was Awesome...
Thank you so much for playing! I'm glad you enjoyed :)
Your Welcome :)
This reminds me of "Welcome to the Game," but I found this far more enjoyable to play. You did a great job creating a tense atmosphere - I was afraid to take my eyes off of my surroundings and every sound had me running for the locker. The twist at the end was a nice touch to the story as well. Really well done Jang Games!
Great gameplay! I'm glad you enjoyed the game and atmosphere. Thank you for the feedback and thank you for playing :)
Thank you so much for playing! I enjoyed watching your video and listening to the commentary :)
Hi! I really enjoyed playing your game, well done! I look forward to hopefully playing more of your games in the future should you make them.
Heres a video of me playing your game:
Thanks so much for the video and gameplay! I enjoyed watching. You should take another closer look at the end scene. It should answer your question of why you couldn't choose what you wanted to choose!
I will check it out! feel free to get in touch if you release any new games that need testing :D
Checked the game out after Jang reached out on Instagram. Very solid game!
That was a wonderful gameplay! I enjoyed watching! Thanks so much for playing :)
Thanks for making 'Cheating Fate.' I really enjoyed it. Great job!
Flawless gameplay! Thanks for playing.
@ Jang Games,
Admire your clever game play [developers' ] angle. I'm not easily surprised, but you [or your team] did get me.
Congratulations on that one!
Hey Daniel! We're back :) Hope to see you again!
ReCursed

Thanks for playing!!
Awesome game! I loved the twist at the end. Even just watching the TV was giving me the horror vibes.
I think there was a bug though for one of the passwords, whenever I'd start up the game and I get the password containing "knight" in it, I'd be sure I entered it exactly, but it never worked. The other passwords did work though :)
Hi there! That password has caused a little bit of problem for a few other people as well. In their youtube videos however, I can see that they mistake the letter 'l' for lion as a number one. So they type something like knightky and then the numbers 154. The password is actually the last name then first name of the detective and then the numbers 54. So it's knightkyl54. Totally understand if this is the case though. Thanks for bringing it up to our attention though! We appreciate you for playing :)
Excellent!
Thanks so much for playing! :)
Certain games aren't for everyone and this game definitely isn't for me. I don't like the tediousness of having to check information and hurriedly type it in before someone is about to kill me. I didn't understand how to hide. And I didn't like that when the door opened no one was there. After a while of dying over and over again I gave up. Plus the tutorial doesn't seem like a tutorial at all. No hate. just giving my honest opinion. Do with it as you wish. Hoping the best for you and your games.
That's okay! I very much appreciate you for trying it out! I'll address your points here:
- the tediousness of having to check information and type quickly can be helped by setting the difficulty on the title screen. There is a story mode that allows for slower and less threatening gameplay.
- A killer is trying to invade the room that you are in. If you leave things on, he will know that you are there. If the killer leaves and you survive despite things that have clearly been tinkered with, that is, the TV or lamp, then is he really that intimidating? Additionally, each death in the locker where you can hide tells you what went wrong. In fact, you even survived an attack towards the end. After that there's nothing to worry about! You know how to hide ;)
- To avoid repeatedly dying, again, there is a difficulty level you can set to accommodate for your own type of gameplay!
- The tutorial serves as a grace period of time where you actually cannot die. You should be using this time to explore the room and see what you can interact with. Listening to the man on the phone also gives you an idea of what your goal is: to grab clues and type them into the document. Again, if it's too tedious, there is a story difficulty mode.
Again, thank you so much for playing our game! We consider all feedback so we can continue to improve :)
How long I've been waiting for you to play! Another amazing video and gameplay! I'm glad you got the ending in the end :) Thanks so much for playing, I wish you the best of luck!
Amazing video! I thoroughly enjoyed watching :)
I'm glad you liked the game and the ending. Very much appreciated!
Interesting game my friend! I hope you continue making them. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the delicious twist at the end!
Thank you good sir for playing! I enjoyed watching your video and commentary and seeing your reaction to the ending!
i did not expect that ending brooo, beautiful work.
really enjoyed
That was an amazing video and gameplay! I enjoyed watching. Thank you so much for playing :)
I absolutely appreciate your feedback, commentary, and gameplay! Thank you so much for your video. You found the clues and understood the story flawlessly. Again, thank you for your kind words. They fuel our motivation to do better :)
This game DEFINETLY served it's purpose as a sequel to Cheating Death! The ending was extremely unexpected! This had one of the most interesting stories I've played for an indie horror game. I could see this story being in a even bigger game! With game development and storytelling like this, it can go really far! The game itself was a decent challenge, mainly being because of the constant fear of being watched and having to be on your toes 24/7. I also really liked the element of having to explore ever inch of the room to get the vital information needed for the story! This game was great! Keep up the great work my man!

I enjoyed watching your video! I left a more detailed comment on it. Thanks for playing :)
Wonderful video and wonderful suggestions! You make great points and you played amazingly. Great to see you again Berry :) thank you again so much for playing
Hey man, it's me, George! Thank you for commenting on me on Instagram asking me to play this game for you yesterday, so I did you a favour and upload it on Youtube!
P.S. You commented on my Micheal P. video on Instagram.
Thank you so much for playing!
Hey George!! Try out our new short horror game here! Hope to see you there! ReCursed
for some reason youtube wont allow me to comment on your reply but at 8:47 I was trying to open the file to fill in the information but it wouldn't open so i killed myself then it worked.
That's interesting... I'm not immediately sure why that happened. Unfortunately I can't see how it escalated to that point but hopefully it's not a problem for other people
