Excuse me, I seem to have misplaced my copy of the game, and itch says I only own the guide to life science. I've commented before with a very specific problem that I hope shows I have purchased before, but if I need to buy it again I'm not too worried about it. At least it would be going to a great place.
Remembered I bought this... like, ages ago. At least a few years. A true little gem that revels in how weird, unsettling and quirky it is! A true brain scratcher as well, as the entire world is a puzzle box! I remember finishing it, but not completing it, I'm honestly not too sure if I'm up for that task 😅 but hey, got two slices outta... many a them, so that's a start.
I'm kinda surprised there's no videos about this game, even with the fact The Floor is Jelly's secrets are all easter eggs to this game.
Oh wait, nevermind, there are. They're just incredibly overshadowed by the board game and the actual rocky formation unless we put your name in the search bar 🤣
this sounds like it can’t find the supersound.dll, but it’s weird that you can’t open the ogg files in another player. is it unzipped all the way into its own folder?
Help I've become stuck! Someone is eating all my pizza and my o_o.ini file doesnt have the variables you've talked about earlier. They do have misc 0-3 but changing those didn't work. I absolutely love this game and have no problem starting over if I have to. Thank you for making such a layered masterpiece.
I think what I would do is back up that ini and either delete it (and the game should make a new one) or copy in the missing values by hand, but this means probably losing any unlocked terminals and pizza locations. This is a Science Mystery!
hello! is there a digital copy of SCIENCE MOUNTAIN GUIDE TO LIFE AND SCIENCE that I could get access to, I would really like to know what knowledge lay inside if only I could see for myself
hi i really wanna play this but no matter how many times i redownload it when i try to open it i get a pop up that says the data is currupted and turns of before it even starts. is this something you know how to deal with? thx in advance
Is it unzipped all the way into its own folder? Sometimes people get this kind of error if they try to run it from the zip file or the start menu. Try only running it from its own folder in Explorer. Otherwise, maybe I can send you a copy of the file that I've tested from my own computer (running Windows 10), or I can refund if all else fails :(
No no no no no no no, I was enjoying this so much, but I picked up the dude that wants to "eat all of the pizza," and after having a few seizures and going deaf, I get kicked out of the game. Starting back up just puts me in the pizza place with no door or console or abilities, and I have about 10s before I get tortured again. Please, tell me there's some way out of this loop without losing all my progress! If it's a sadistic puzzle, can you have some mercy and just give me a clue how to get rid of that idiot, because I want to go back to exploring this world!
Hi, I'm running into the same issue as the beleaguered one above. It looks like for me, changing those values will take people back out of the pizzaplace, but won't re-enable my abilities or put the doors and terminals back. Let me know if there's more I could do!
Absolutely love the game by the way, if I end up just having to restart to explore more, that's not the end of the world anyway
Forgive me, it has been awhile, and I am away from a terminal right now: it is possible that setting ZZZZZ (or a similar variable) to 99999 will have the desired effect.
naw, thank YOU dude. there arent enough games like this that hide things all over the place, there arent enough games that make you feel like you're peering under the veil of reality.
dutiful science eye! you are delving into SCIENCE MYSTERY. read the SCIENCE MOUNTAIN GUIDE TO LIFE AND SCIENCE through the GHOST PROTOCOL and prepare for GHOST TRAVEL.
I'm also getting the "Failed to load the game data. File seems corrupted." error when launching on Win11 via the "Launch" button in the itch app – however, if I just double-click the .exe in Explorer, it launches just fine 👍
Oh, sorry it’s not working with the itch app! It is an Old Game now, and I don’t really know how it will continue to behave as computers get more and more fussy. Glad it’s working in Explorer though!
I think I kinda played this game wrong because I didn't know how SHARECART1000 worked until just a day ago. Thankfully, it still stands up well on its own. I've had a lot of fun exploring.
EDIT: I think I just got to the end (or an end, if there's more than one) and oh boy. Oh wow. Nothing could have possibly prepared my eyes and ears for that. Thank you so much... this game was a journey and I was very glad to be on it.
Hello! I saw in the Palestine bundle notes that gatekeeper needs to be disabled for Mac, but is that also the case for Big Sur/M1 Macs? Even with disabling gatekeeper Im not able to launch. Thanks!
I’m afraid it has been many years since I’ve had access to a Mac; I do not know what might be necessary to make FJORDS work on current osx versions :( I am sorry about this!
i can't open the game, two errors appear when i launch directly from itch or using the file explorer: "Failed to load the game data. File seems corrupted." and "Exception Eprinter in module fjords.exe at 0002E6FA. There is no default printer currently selected."
this is very weird and i am so sorry. i can definitely refund; did you unzip the file all the way into its own directory? it’s the only thing i can think of. :(

I found it!
Praise be to SCIENCE!
And to you scientist, thank you for the experiments.
finally played this after you gave me a code years ago it was really sweet :)
thanks for being one of the better teachers in my schooling
thanks for playing!! and thank you for your kind words ❤️

what a lovely post! thank you for your attention and care, science eye 👁️ 👁️ 👁️
No problem! I'll be seeing if I can get to the pizzaaaa a a a a a a hunt again :D
hey I bought this game awhile ago and wanted to play it again, (also get some of the music) but if I try to boot it I just get
ERROR in
action number 1
of End Step Event
for object game:
Error defining an external function.
---------------
also nothing can run the .ogg files for some reason
this sounds like it can’t find the supersound.dll, but it’s weird that you can’t open the ogg files in another player. is it unzipped all the way into its own folder?

I absolutely love this game and have no problem starting over if I have to. Thank you for making such a layered masterpiece.
hmm! HMM! that is a conundrum! could you post the text of your ini file?
absolutely, it's as follows:
[Main]
MapX=175
MapY=-1
Misc0=51
Misc1=51
Misc2=205
Misc3=205
PlayerName=blank
Switch0=FALSE
Switch1=TRUE
Switch2=FALSE
Switch3=FALSE
Switch4=FALSE
Switch5=FALSE
Switch6=FALSE
Switch7=FALSE
MOST CURIOUS. the ini is in the dat sub folder of SHARECART1000?
Yeah it is, the order to get to it is SHARECART1000, dat, o_o.ini. I appreciate your help troubleshooting
I think what I would do is back up that ini and either delete it (and the game should make a new one) or copy in the missing values by hand, but this means probably losing any unlocked terminals and pizza locations. This is a Science Mystery!
Im 11 years late to the party, and im not sure how i arrived at the party but the party is really inspiring thank you ✨
thanks and praise, Science Eye ✨👁️✨
best "blind purchase" i made here lol. heavily recommended
p.s. what's in the pdf? i'm curious
👁️ S C I E N C E 👁️
thanks greatly, science eye!
if i'll pay 3 more dollars, may I take a peek in it? or do I need to pay all the 10$ again by once?
oh I can absolutely send it to you!
would be lovely to make an option to buy it for 3 if you already have the game, i wonder if itch will let me do that.
i cant pay you 3$ more, because "i must pay at least 7$" for this project. but i've found that you published the file separately: https://mooonmagic.itch.io/science-mountain-guide-to-life-and-science-volume-1
gonna buy it there
oh yes! i forgot that i did that; i should link it from here. thanks so much!
hello! is there a digital copy of SCIENCE MOUNTAIN GUIDE TO LIFE AND SCIENCE that I could get access to, I would really like to know what knowledge lay inside if only I could see for myself
I just realized that I should have a separate page for that! I will put it up soon.
also if I could get where it is when you put it up that would be great thanks
definitely. Thanks for your patience; I am a kindergarten teacher in this iteration and I keep forgetting to do this! But it Shall Be Done. ✨👁🗨✨
sorry if I seem a bit impatient its just that I have been waiting for a while and just wondering when it will be up, sorry to bother
i think you have actually been Extremely Patient!! i will try to make the page my Final Accomplishment of 2022, or my First Accomplishment of 2023.
hi i really wanna play this but no matter how many times i redownload it when i try to open it i get a pop up that says the data is currupted and turns of before it even starts. is this something you know how to deal with? thx in advance
I’m sorry to hear that! What operating system are you using?
windows 10
Is it unzipped all the way into its own folder? Sometimes people get this kind of error if they try to run it from the zip file or the start menu. Try only running it from its own folder in Explorer. Otherwise, maybe I can send you a copy of the file that I've tested from my own computer (running Windows 10), or I can refund if all else fails :(
launching it directly from the folder worked, thank you for the help im looking forward to get into it:)
huzzah! safe travels, Science Eye!
No no no no no no no, I was enjoying this so much, but I picked up the dude that wants to "eat all of the pizza," and after having a few seizures and going deaf, I get kicked out of the game.

Oh I am so sorry! Beleaguered One! I meant to respond to this.
Open o_o.ini and set one of these values to 99999:
SMES
DROQ
WHIT
BRYN
That should revert FJORDS to a prior iteration.
Hi, I'm running into the same issue as the beleaguered one above. It looks like for me, changing those values will take people back out of the pizzaplace, but won't re-enable my abilities or put the doors and terminals back. Let me know if there's more I could do!

This worked, thanks so much!
"thank u"
naw, thank YOU dude. there arent enough games like this that hide things all over the place, there arent enough games that make you feel like you're peering under the veil of reality.
what a sick, excellent world you've made. ☻
thank YOU, intrepid science eye ❤️👁❤️
dutiful science eye! you are delving into SCIENCE MYSTERY. read the SCIENCE MOUNTAIN GUIDE TO LIFE AND SCIENCE through the GHOST PROTOCOL and prepare for GHOST TRAVEL.
oh god the word science doesnt look like a word anymore
so there's a code happening, ghosts are more useful than they seem, and theres something i haven't tried that i won't divulge here. got it
passcode accepted☻
I'm also getting the "Failed to load the game data. File seems corrupted." error when launching on Win11 via the "Launch" button in the itch app – however, if I just double-click the .exe in Explorer, it launches just fine 👍
Oh, sorry it’s not working with the itch app! It is an Old Game now, and I don’t really know how it will continue to behave as computers get more and more fussy. Glad it’s working in Explorer though!
All good, I saw a few other folks with similar errors but I figured I'd mention that the game is still playable, most importantly 🙏
I think I kinda played this game wrong because I didn't know how SHARECART1000 worked until just a day ago. Thankfully, it still stands up well on its own. I've had a lot of fun exploring.

Thank you for playing, gentle Science Eye ❤️❤️
Still the best game I have ever played in my life!
❤️❤️👁❤️❤️
very original and pretty addictive, took me some time to get the hang of it, i love a game that lets you figure it out on your own. thank you!!
Thank you very much for your Exploration and Affection, Science Eye!

i can't open the game, two errors appear when i launch directly from itch or using the file explorer:
"Failed to load the game data. File seems corrupted." and
"Exception Eprinter in module fjords.exe at 0002E6FA. There is no default printer currently selected."
i am on a regular installation of windows 10 64x
this is very weird and i am so sorry. i can definitely refund; did you unzip the file all the way into its own directory? it’s the only thing i can think of. :(
thanks for the offer for refund, but i don't need one, i'll keep playing around with stuff till something clicks, i appreciate your help
Of course! Let me know if you find something that works, and good luck!
i fixed it, all i needed to do was update windows 10 since it was pretty outdated, so i'm assuming it needed something that a newer version had
