I've got a weird problem when trying to play this game. When I first downloaded it, everything worked fine. But the moment I actually hit "New Game" the game crashed and deleted the exe. When I tried to extract it again, everything but the Windows exe was extracted. Even the Macosx exe file. The Windows file simply says that "Access is Denied" even after redownloading.
Hmm, this is really weird-- we'd never heard of a bug like this. I'll be looking from my side and keep you updated if I find something, but my first instinct is to wonder if maybe your anti-virus is identifying the game as dangerous? That may be the case, especially considering we don't really have a digital signature for software or something of the sort. Maybe your AV has a history function that lets you see that?
Let us know, even if not, I'll be looking for an answer and let you know if I find anything :)
I still have no idea what caused the problem in the first place, but I think I got it to work now? I tried extracting to something other than the default folder and after a brief test there hasn't been a crash.
Hey there, thank you! Right now, while there is an established idea of what the sequel would be, we do not have any dates of production or anything. We're focusing on the game's Steam release and our next project, so be on the look out for that.
Thank you for asking, and we hope you enjoy Fostering Apocalypse!
Dooope game! The art style is so unique, really pulling you into this stylized post-apocalyptic world. I also appreciate that you're allowing us all to experience this game for free. If only it were longer, gah! I could genuinely play a full game or even read a comic with Del and Barrett.
Here's a link to my full playthrough, it was such a cool but short experience. Thanks for creating such a cute game!
Hello! I recently completed a review of your game for my Youtube series “The First 15”! I’ve placed a link to the video down below, please check it out and keep up the great work!
This is a great video format! Hearing your thoughts halfway through was a really interesting take and it's great to get your first thoughts and expectations for the story before it's finished. Thanks so much for the video!
Interesting little game. I think this is probably the closest thing to what you get when you cross Hellboy (demon-like main character), Mad Max (apocalyptic environment) and The Mandalorian (fostering a non-human child).
While it's a bit too linear (the vast majority of the game is pressing a button to continue) - therefore it's rather an interactive, half-animated comic novel - as a debut project it certainly is pretty good and has some fun ideas! Right now it kinda feels like a project made for a game jam which would definitely be worth to expand. I hope you'll decide to do that. Keep it up! :)
Thanks so much for your feedback! While we don't have any plans to expand on Fostering Apocalypse much more as a narrative, your support and encouragement will definitely inspire us in future projects! :-)
Awesome game! I love the art style! It's kinda nostalgic for me in a way! And also our lil demon Barrett is so cute! This was my first try but I'll try to check out other paths soon! Must get that Good Ending!
Currently there are two endings in the game, one good and one bad. We are working on additional content, QoL and fixes for Fostering Apocalypse, some of these detailed here: https://itch.io/t/1466442/fostering-apocalypse-retrospective-devlogs-updates , which includes a new ending for the game / more branches.
Thank you so much for supporting Fostering Apocalypse!

I just watched Manly’s playthrough of this and i just wanna say i love it so much!! <33
Thank you so much!! :"-)
Y'all got a lot of potential, just don't forget to market the
fuckdagnabbit up.It would be a shame to see another game with this much heart behind it fail to come out of the woodwork in full swing.
~Heartwarming game tho ~ 👌👌👌
I came here from watching ManlyBadassHero, and will there be a novel or is there a novel about this?
Hi, thanks for the interest! There's currently not any plans for a novelization, no.
I see I see
Haha: He's the one that brought me to this game too and I then decided to get it.

That sounds like an issue with your antivirus, I've had that happen before lol.
I came here from watching a video from the YouTuber ManlyBadassHero and was wondering if you have plans for a sequel?

Looks amazing! Are you planning for a mobile release too?
We aren't currently, but we may make future games available for mobile!

Thank you so much for the video, you were so kind!! We're so glad you liked it and we really enjoyed the video!
Fun fact: the idea for Fostering Apocalypse started off as a comic!

Absolutely adorable. No wonder they melted Del's heart.
Now that is super cute and I'd give it infinite head pats.

Thank you so much for supporting Fostering Apocalypse!
Finally got the other one! It's a rip from my stream so I hope you don't mind the different format
