One of the best games I've played in a while to be honest, some puzzles were a bit confusing but the humour ,writing and beautiful art style make up for it. I give this game a solid 11/10 (the extra point comes from the pooping minigane)
What puzzle? After getting the 2 thropies and unlocking the big door I've went back and searched every room and couldn't find anything do the 6 spiders unlock another ending or just an easter egg? And where can I find all spiders? I've only managed to find the one in the cave and the one in the tree
There is something in Batty's attic that can be used on a certain corpse. That's the hint I'll give you!
As for the spiders... they are intended to be extremely hard to find, and not required for progression. I'll give one hint for those; they only show up at specific points throughout the game.
I played the game again and still couldn't find how to open the shed and the attic, may I have another hint please?everytime I've got an item or did something I went to the graveyard and I haven't found the crow
hiya, may i please have a hint? i can't find the trophies anywhere/get past that one door. do i just have to get better at repeatedly hitting the little floaty things in those two spots?
I'll give you two hints about the boss encounters.
1.The black orb damages them, and the sparkle heals Batty. 2.If you return to the front door of the house after the trophies vanish, you can find something that might help you.
Hey, I picked up the full game today, and I've been enjoying it, but saving doesn't seem to work. If I quit to the menu and load game, that works, but if I turn off my Game Boy, no save data is found the next time I load. I get the same result when running it with an emulator on my PC, so I'm not sure what's wrong.
What type of cartridge are you using? I tested with EZ Flash, and was able to load my save on GB when using the "backup save" prompt when the cartridge boots. On emulator I had no trouble; it would create the .sav file which would allow me to load properly any time I booted the ROM.
I'm not doubting there could still be an issue, though. Give me more details, and I can look into it. I am also working with someone on the "official" physical release now, and making the sure the save is fully functional in that version is a top priority.
I’m using an EverdriveGB X5. Other games save without issue on it, a .srm file is created on the SD card, but I don’t see any new files after saving in Batty Zabella. For the emulator I use BGB running under Wine. If there’s any other info I can provide just let me know.
Hello! Long time coming, but... the save data issue seems to be corrected in the digital version. As a matter of fact, even saving in the browser version seems to work properly now.
At the very least, I can confirm it works 100% with the BGB emulator.
Can't find the basement. Seems cool otherwise, but I feel like I've clicked around just about every direction I possibly can see but I'm just not finding it.
Hi, unfortunately the batteries are not displayed in my full version of the game. In the demo version they are on the shelf in the basement. Unfortunately I can't get any further in the game. Or are the batteries hiding somewhere else entirely?
Haha, their location has been changed since the demo version. I can tell you they are in fact still hidden in that background, though. Inside something.
Using the book will be a big help later, but there's a place marked with a question mark on the map that is critical for progression. The TV is also important.
Ghouls and ghosts look no further for your next haunt! The horror, comedy, and intrigue will trap your retro soul and take you spiralling downward into artfully crafted darkness with Batty Zabella.
What a stunningly looking game (and gal)! Fantastic work, I'll immediately purchase it. Does it have a save function/password system or is it intended to be played in one sit? (If so I'd play it on the Pocket Go S30 instead of the original hardware - I like savestates). Anyway, congratulations to this very impressive release. :)

squeak, squeak!
That is a great game!!!
10/10 game though I spend some time trying to beat the final boss not knowing you can't beat it
Did you end up figuring out the related puzzle, though?

If you sit around long enough in the graveyard, a crow is bound to show up eventually!

Hopefully you have no issues re-downloading.
I downloaded the new version, and it’s saving fine now. Thanks for the update!

YES! I got the batteries :-)
I'm totally stuck on the tv puzzle, could I get a hint on what to do to turn it on or what else to do from here?
Pay close attention to what Batty says when she examines the couch.
How do I solve the endless room near Husbano? I have no idea what to do at all
Husbano mentioned the TV was important.
thanks I figured it out!
Boobs
Great Game!!!
Where is the basement?
Is it a secret?
Nevermind I found it!
Glad to hear it! There definitely are some secret areas in the game, though.
Will you Tell us how much many you got after one week?
Sorry? Do you mean how many sales?
oh, yea, srr my bad, had a stroke back there...
so how many sales do you have?
I’ve been lied to :(
There's more than one toilet in the house. That's all I will say.
bruh no poop game????!
amazing! If I may ask, can I get a hint? Stuck after using book :(
Using the book will be a big help later, but there's a place marked with a question mark on the map that is critical for progression. The TV is also important.
Amazing timing for the release and the game is very nicely made. Although I don't like horror or scary games, I take my hat off to you!
Appreciate that! I will say that the game is more "comedy" than scary, so you may enjoy it more than some!
stunning artwork! can’t wait to play this!
Thank you very much. Your own Game Boy work is very inspiring as well.
Ghouls and ghosts look no further for your next haunt! The horror, comedy, and intrigue will trap your retro soul and take you spiralling downward into artfully crafted darkness with Batty Zabella.
Beware!

There is a save function that should work fine on Game Boy or Pocket. Thank you for the compliments! It has been a fun project.
