80s Ford Game - Day 0
The full first night of your week-long adventure with Ford, I hope you enjoy it! This starts from the beginning much like the demo released back in October, but continues much farther after it. I've added in a small secret or two, if you can find them, but the portion covered in the demo is largely the same as it was.
I hope you have a good time on the rest of your night with Ford, have fun :)

this is currently the only reason i'm alive anyway I LOVE ITTTT SO MUCH AHHHHHHGG
i almost had a heart attack when he said greetings because it was like 7-8 at night when i first played this and i thought it was a horror game (i knew it wasn't but but i was still frightened)
I LOVE IT THOYGH THIS GAME IS SUPER AWESOME SAUCE
I LOVED THIS GAME SMMMM ♡♡
I WAS SCREAMMING WHEN HE SAID GREETINGS
Forgot to write a comment! Well first off, what a great game. I honestly laughed a lot while playing and I also appreciate the drawings, it's nice to have variety of them. And on top of all that, the bunker part's mechanics were really interesting to play!
2 months and half since I first played it, I'm so glad the project isn't abandoned, and as a bonus has more of day one planned to be out soon :)
Is there more than Day 0? Great game btw
I've got 7 days written. The first bit of day 1's going to come out hopefully by valentines day. Thanks :)
i'm sooo exciteddd
OMGGG
Wow, just wow! I discovered this absolute gem of a game while mindlessly scrolling through Pinterest and I have to say it's probably one of the best (if not the best) independent games I've ever played! The art was pitch perfect, the dialogue was so akin to the show, the pacing and storyline were so well executed. I could seriously gush about this game for so long, it's that enjoyable. Excited to see where it goes and I'll be happily awaiting the next update!
A little question, will there be any nsfw? Or is this all sfw. I AM NOT A GOONER. I JUST WANT TO KNOW. Also your game is gr8!! Its rlly well made and I recommend to every GF fan :D
There will not be any nsfw. There likely wont really be much swearing in it either.
Thank you for the compliment!
I very rarely write comments for games. In fact, I usually don't...too embarrassing [I'm working on it...]. But my Oh My Stars, this was amazing! I loved the story and the artworks! It was very fun to play! I'm so glad I stumbled upon this game [found it trough pinterest]. If you plan on continuing to work on it, I'll definitely be playing it all the way through.
Thank you for the nice comment, I appreciate it :)
I am indeed still working on the game, and the next bit is actually coming out soon. You (and anyone else) can check out the little development logs if you want more info about what I've been up to lately.
Oh! I definitely will check out any development logs you have, thanks for letting me know!
NEED MORE MORE MOOOOREEE PLEASEEEE!!111!!11!!1!1
Hope when this will finished put it to download:3
exactly
when are the next days will be released plss :((((
yeahhh
oh my god !!! i don't know enough words to describe how much fun i had with this game !!!!i was giggling and kicking my feet basically the whole time. 4bit horror makes me puke and cry with fear so i almost closed it with the first minute of the game but im so glad i didn't. you can clearly see the hard work and love put into this game with every scene. when we got to fords house i was looking at every detail in the background. and as an electrician my friend had to hear me scream for the fact that you actually had breakers in the panel and not just blank weird looking lines in it. also a panel plug !!!! made me go insane. glad his wiring is definitely not up to code tho. im getting sidetracked,,, ANYWAYS !!! i didn't really care much for ford before this game, even when i was first watching the show when i was 10, i was too focused on the mystery twins asdfhgksda but this game made me absolutely adore the nerd !!! the dialog feels so natural and true to the show i could basically hear his voice during it. and i was BEAMING whenever that nerd got excited. i felt so pulled into the game play i forgot i only planned to play 10 minutes of this and go to bed afterwards (i am staring at my clock so hard rn). the whole bat chase had me on the edge of my seat. i actually pulled out a note book to sketch fords lab lay out (it took me a few tries tho lol). his little awkward moments mixed his absolute passion made my night. i want to play this over and over, or maybe just continue to the next day AURGSAD im working out of town for the next week but when i come back i WILL be going insane over this again. anyways im rambling, i just wanna say that the art work, the writing, and the dialog was magnificent. thank you for making this <3
jiust replyinggggg
guys plz im genuinely TWEAKING. i looked at the map and am TRYING SO HARD to get into room 11 for the gnome route but theres a WALL and ive tried EVERY ROOM I CAN FIVE TIMES OVER, please for the love of cat help i will love u forever if u do
also i cant even go back west so unless i wanna capture the eyebat im sorta fucked T_T
I'm assuming you're running around in the dark by yourself at this point in the game. Normally you just go north from room 12 to get into room 11. But if you have already been in that room when you were walking around with Ford it's not going to let you in again. If you remember getting the firecrackers item then you were already in there.
If you have already made it into room 11 before, when you run into the wall the player should say something like "There used to be a room here! I know there was!"
...if not then I coded something wrong.
OHHH ok so i guess i skip room 12 until after we lose ford, THANKS SO MUCH!!! btw AWESOME GAME, i could ramble abt it for 5 mins tops bc the english lexicon is too limited but ima just leave it at im a very big fan of ur work here. cant wait to see what u do with it!!! also yes i do get that text u coded it correctly (god jab)
Oh I'm sorry. The way you get into room 11 when you have Ford with you is you just have to talk to him while standing in room 12. A special dialogue opens up that allows you to go north afterword. Thank you for the nice words :) I'm glad you like the game.
i see thank u!!! btw sorry for continued bothering LOL, but is it possible to actually finish the gnome route? i followed ur advice and was able to find the firecrackers, but i went everywhere i was capable of after losing ford, and theres nothing else. room 3 and 2 simply arent available and u cant go west from room 4, nor can u visit the gnome after the first time.
btw despite how much im struggling i do believe ur game is greatly crafted (the plot in particular really intrigues me) i just dont game much XD
still just replying
Omg I loved it! Can't wait for more!!
same
I had such a great time! Ford was wonderfully characterized (he's adorably silly!) and I was very surprised at the amount of original art in this game. It must've taken forever to draw it all.
I hope to see more soon <3

this game kicked my butt and i loved every second of it T0T (i knew writing down those directions would be useful!! i knew it!!)
omg yeah, it took me 2 hours to figure out the directions XD but it was worth it! Can't wait to see the rest of the game.
I liked the little jokes we get to make with him through out, very wholesome. I also like the fact that he explains the creatures well. Please make more, this is wonderful!
Make more I love it!!!
Grrrr 🫦 I love this game
My name is now salami i suppose.
I am going feral!! I love this so much!! I need more to quench my thirst for this man!!
This game is awesome!!!! I noticed how the music is copyrighted so streamers have to play w it on mute, just wanted to let you know I'm a music student who's looking to compose music for games and stuff. Composing for this would be seriously awesome. Lmk if you want me to try making some music for it! Can't wait for day 1 ehehehehehe
