I've seen plenty of game play on this game and even played it myself!I am absolutely in love with this game, it captures the 1900's vibe perfectly! The only thing i'm sad about is my buddy had to leave so soon, which leaves me wondering when the full game will come out? I would love to see the rest of my house!
Hi there! We're so happy you enjoyed! We have a lot of things planned for this game and we're hard at work on it as we speak. We promise your buddy will return once again! As of right now, we don't have a set release date, but if you wanted to stay updated, feel free to join our Discord community or follow us on Twitter. Thanks so much for the kind words. :)
Hi! I just started playing the game but I think either I broke it or there's a bug. So basically after my buddy and I played 2 games it then "dug out" the Fun With Words game.After that I didn't choose Fun with Words and instead chose Hangman since I wanted to finish all 3 games first.Then after I finished Hangman it then told me to restart the game and it then started up The Adventure Of (My name) game.I saw some Youtubers played this game and when they played it The Adventure Of (My name) game had a story but mine was just stuck there at the first lines of words. I don't know how to fix this but I can tell its a great game from the videos I have seen so far. Other than that, Keep up the good work!
Hey LordMan! Thanks for letting us know and I'm sorry this is happening. :( This is actually a pretty common bug that we've been told about a few times, so we're definitely going to make sure it gets fixed. Thanks again!
I was watching one of Markipliers new videos that was released and saw him playing this game. I didn't watch him play it but a minute before I paused it and opened up my laptop to experience it myself! This is a true masterpiece and I am so excited for the release. I was super sad when it ended because I just wanted to keep playing! thank you so much for creating such an amazing game and keep up the good work! you guys are awesome! :)
Your game is so engaging, I loved it!! I can't wait for the full version!!
I didn't see anyone else talk about it, so I figured I'd mention it: when my Buddy (Alan) wrote the poem, I noticed some letters were funky, so I jotted down which ones were weird...and was surprised to actually find that they spelled a message! I don't wanna spoil what it said, but now its bugging me why that message would be there...is it a clue for something bigger? I gotta know!!
I started watching this game on Markiplier's channel, but about five minutes into his playthrough, I hit pause and ran to my computer to play it before I spoiled the entire experience for myself. And I'm so glad I did. SUCH CHILLS. MUCH CREEPINESS.
This is such an excellent example of the impact text-based horror can have and such a great use of a demo. I am hooked and will definitely be keeping an eye out for the full release of the game. I would also love to maybe do an interview with your team sometime close to the full game launch if you'd be willing to spare a bit of your time. :)
In any case, good luck with development! I look forward to seeing how the final version turns out.
Hi Kim! Thanks so much for your kind words. We're so happy you loved it. That's always an amazing thing to hear. <3 We'd love to do an interview sometime. We've still got quite a bit of work to do on the game, but if you'd ever like to reach out, feel free to message us on Twitter, Discord, or even our email: NotASailorStudio@gmail.com. Thanks again!
Everybody has already said it, so Ima yell it: THIS GAME'S AMAZING! I love the style, design, SAMPSON, the scratching in the ears, SAMPSON! If what everybody's saying isn't proof enough, then maybe hear it from Mark because this is a great concept. Development NEEDS to continue!
I saw this game on Markipliers channel, and i loved it. Text based games r my favorite type of games, and this took the cake, pls tell me you are going to make the full game and if u r, try to make the player still think its a demo but have the game "break out" from the demos coding, and create the full game bc u have the game think its already alive as it is. but do what u want, and i can't wait for the full release
hey, i really enjoyed this game. Are you guys going to make a full game out of this ? and if you are i really hope it is long and that it has a lot of different paths to go during it. I really can't wait for the full drop if it's coming. amazing game.
Hi. I just made several playthroughs and I love the game. I even got so far to find and unlock the secret chamber easter egg. The only things I haven't worked out is the use for the picture and the other applications of the shovel. I won't be playing the demo any more as I think if explored it to completion, but boi oh boi, did I have a good time. Definitely getting the full game when it comes out.
Playing this has reinvigorated my love for text-based adventure game. All 4 of you game devs are massive legends :)
Hi. Hate to say it, but I'd like to register a complaint. It might just be that I am using a computer that is 2-3 years old and your software doesn't mesh well with my computer, but I am having major issues with this game. At first it ran fine, but once it got to the part where you chose which game to play I played two of them fine, but then the game said I had played all of them, but I still hadn't played hangman. Instead of choosing the new game that was available, I chose to play hangman first. It allowed me to do so, but then the option to play the fourth game disappeared, and when I tried to restart to make it available again, it said that the Unityplayer.dll was not found and that reinstalling might fix it. I went to uninstall and then reinstall the game, but the file did not appear in my control panel's uninstall a program. I can't even uninstall it to try to fix it! I tried just deleting the files in the regedit and then re-downloading the game, but the same issue with the Unityplayer.dll popped up. It is not recognizing the file. What should I do? If you can't fix it, can I just get the dollar I spent to support you guys back? It would have been more, but money is tight right now for me. I'm sure once you get the bugs fixed the game will run great, and I would gladly pay for it again to play a bug free version, but at this time I'm frustrated and just want my money back, or a solution to my issue. How do I uninstall this thing properly and why doesn't it show up in my uninstall programs? Please note, I am not mad at you and I'm sure you are amazing developers who can figure out the answer to my problem. I hope I'm not coming off as rude. Sorry if I am, but I just saw the beginning of Markiplier's video and decided for just the third time in a few years to play one of the games he featured because it looked interesting and potentially cool. It's extremely frustrating when two out of the three times I try a game he features, both times I end up with a glitch that prevents me from playing through the game. The other game wasn't one of yours, so no worries. I realize you may not pay attention to this because I am not a Youtuber, but I wanted you to be aware of this issue, so I hope you can provide me a solution. Thank you for your time. I'm sure your game is great. I hope I can play the rest of it soon. Sincerely, DK
Hey DK! That's a real bummer you're having this problem and I'm so sorry to hear that. :( So the file that's said to be missing (UnityPlayer.dll) actually comes in the .zip file that Buddy Simulator comes in. So it's odd that it's supposedly missing. I would first re-extract the .zip, then try playing again. Also make sure the file UnityPlayer.dll is in the game's folder. Once again, so sorry that this is happening. If there is anything else I can help with just let me know. I'd feel really bad if you can't play, especially since you donated a dollar (seriously, thank you for that). We'll also make note of this. We're currently trying to fix these types of bugs best we can for the full version. So thanks for letting us know!
you know markiplier played your game yo, i didnt watch it because as soon as he pulled it up it looked interesting so i exited the video and downloaded it. good job dude, cant wait for the full game
I have finished the game! Just wow, for the record this is my first game that was text-based and I LOVED IT!!! I was hoping for a bit more horror, but I ended up with warm hearted laugh 4/5, as I was looking for to see that chamber in the house...
I named my buddy Blue and having him ripped away from me was brutal goddamn. I knew I shouldn't get too attached. Really can't wait for the full release now. This is amazing.
I was trying to play this and record it but for some reason it sends my PC into an epileptic fit. Both monitors start to blink in and out. Really want to try this game out!
I feel so empty after playing this demo. I... I had a best friend, and then all of a sudden I didn't anymore. I need to be reunited with my buddy, life is meaningless otherwise!
Ahem.. erm, I mean... hang on.
This was a very cleverly put together game, and every second of it was laced with varying degrees of menace, from the subtle to the brute force obvious.
To put together a text-based game that increases the heart rate and makes all the hairs stand up on the back of your neck takes great writing skill, and this demo has that by the bucketload.
I highly encourage anyone who hasn't given this a try to get it downloaded and played, because everyone's experience will be different! We all have different ideas for what our bestie should be called, what our favourite colours and animals are and birthdays. And that info leads to different paths depending on what you input.
So go ahead, join the fun and get yourself a Buddy today! =)
As for the wonderful devs, keep up the great work!
Question: I'm Sorry i do let's plays and i started this game and i really really fell in love with it but when it cuts out the first time to start the "adventures roms" i messed up my recording and every time i re-install the game it keeps the save-state i had before. Is there any way for me to erase the memory of Buddy Simulator so i can show it to my subscribers? Please if i could get an answer to this i really like this game and i would love to show it off :3 Thank you in advance guys!
Hey SewerPeople! Thanks for reaching out. We've actually had some issues with this before which we're looking into for the final version of the game. For now, the only way to erase the demo data is to go into your system registries. First press Windows+R to open the run screen. Then type 'regedit' into the search bar. After pressing enter you'll see the registry editor. Go to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER / Software / Not a Sailor Studios / Buddy Simulator 1984". Then on the right side you should be able to see a registry called "GameSection". Right click it and delete it. That should erase your progress. If you need anything else just let us know. Looking forward to seeing the video, glad you enjoyed it so far :)
Thank you very much, i'll try it in the morning. Thanks for getting back to me i didn't think to ask you guys for like a week of trying to fix it myself lol This concept is Fantastic and im really looking forward to the final product(s) :) <
god, this game was amazing! i get attached too easily, if i have to be honest, so i was a bit upset at the ending. i cannot wait until the full game comes out!!
I never leave comments. But this game is deserving of much more than a comment at this stage. I felt a somehow deep connection to my 'buddy' (whom I named James), and was genuinely distraught by the ending. I most certainly hope to see more from you in the future, and hope there will be a full game coming soon. Best of luck to you.
bruh this is a really good game and would love to see the full the full version of it, I really like games like this and have been having trouble finding some until i came across this one. 9/10 would recommend and this is now one of my favorite text adventure game.

This is amazing. I have an idea on my mind, and that is to do a text-based RPG using pretty much everything in this game.
that was adorable! I entered my buddyies name when it asked about my friends but "Henry" didn't realize I meant him, lol!
I can't wait to play a FULL VERSION!
