Okay, put it through a series of timed tests. After one minute, the game always crashes. It doesn't matter what I'm doing at the time.
If Parsnip is walking, standing still, looking at something, or talking to someone, it will crash. If I have the bag open, it will crash. Even if I just leave the start menu open for one minute, it still crashes.
I'm playing on Windows 10, but it acts the same way on compatibility mode for Windows 8 and Vista. The game still allows me to save and load during the one minute time frame, but it's unplayable as soon as I get to the first conversation with Bell, which takes about 50 seconds going as fast as possible. I can't save fast enough to get out of the loop.
I've re-downloaded it three times using three different file extraction methods, but I continue getting the same results.
Those who are able to get it working- is there anything I've overlooked?
THe fact Parsnip turns out to be jsut a cute girly/feminine boy and ALSO casually draws porn of him and one of his friends together is like...literally almost all the cute rabbit furs I know. Not so sure about the endings...but that part definitely nails how wholesome but lewd bunnies can be, lol. Also how he at one pount randomly says "i'm a boy!" so ya know he a cute boy. WOuld head pat. Maybe politely decline cake.
To those who don't know, please be aware this is a horror game! If you aren't a big fan of horror elements, I wouldn't play. It isn't seriously bad but just a quick warning.
I haven't finished the game yet, but some people says it's a horror game. i'm starting to think this is true because after clicking on the knife (the knife on magnificent magpie's hause) Parsnip says knives are very dangerous but the scripts comes slower than usual
Cute little horrory point and click! (And i love point and clicks.) The art style is wonderful, especially Parsnips excellent animations. The puzzles are pretty straightforward but not bad. The ending(s) area bit silly in my opinion, very over the top. But, I had a great time with it for sure. I wish there was an indication in the game that there's a second ending, since I didn't realize that initially.
If I wasn't a broke teen I would pay $50 without hesitating for this game cause MY GOD is it cool, it's so cute, the deeper story behind it is really interesting, someday I'll donate my whole bank account to the person who created this istg.
Holy shit. This game exceeded my expectations EXPONENTIALLY! I wont spoil anything, but heres some advice to anyone about to play: Click on and go through all the dialog, and save before deciding whether to share your cake. Enjoy!
This game. I have so much to say about it this might almost be like a real critic review. I have never seen a game so dedicated to the fine art of annoying the player. From the first moments of entering the game I foolishly decided to close the tutorial help screen without reading it, assuming i could get through the game on my own. However, you need to press SPACE or the SCROLL BUTTON on your mouse to open your INVENTORY. I pressed ESCAPE and it just immediately closed the game. A very nice touch. Everything about this game is annoying. The very slow gameplay, the absolute silence of the world except for the loud scribbling noises when the to-do list updates, the frustrating control layout which cannot be changed, the piss poor grammar, the bird's misused Shakespearean English, the extremely long and ultimately unnecessary dialogue, Parsnip's goose chase for cake ingredients, and his stupid little slow prancing walk. He prancercises everywhere. And possibly the most frustrating part is that we don't actually get any backstory or fulfillment on the OTHER story that took place in the background of this damn game. It's just Parsnip running around and then two very interesting and completely unexplained "where are they now" segments. I personally like ending the game by eating the whole cake myself, and hopefully if you've played the game you'll know why.
Finally someone honest. Your critic is valid with the subjective views and your downvotes are from people who are scared to be frank about the game and what they don't like about it so instead they just say positive critics that don't bother to ask the developper to improve despite the game's apparent flaws (and that's fine but it's not if these users want the game to be improved). For me, this game has a lot of flaws but it would be really cool if the dev would improve it some day because i love the characters and the fact that it's hand drawn. I'm pretty sure i'm not the only one who love video games that is animated like this and if these people like me want more games like cuphead then these users in the comments should stop being hypocrits and be honest about the game so they can have a chance to play an improved version of Parsnip if the developper learns from their critics (that is if they really want Parsnip to be improved, otherwise they can comment whatever they want).
Yeah, this was my experience as well. The adventure aspect really doesn't add anything to the game, other than doubling the runtime without improving the story or the characters. I also accidentally closed the button with Esc at some point. I just gave up and watched the ending on YouTube isntead. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I really wish the story and characters were more fleshed out, half the side characters we're just stereotypical stock characters and didn't feel like real people to me. And the horror of Parsnip being a psycho just... isn't interesting or suprising. Like it feels like the only thing this game excels at is the cute factor and the character animations. Everything else just feels incomplete to me.
The game also really sorely needs a skip dialogue option. There were 5-10 times where I accidentally started talking to the same character twice and I just had to sit there for 10-20 seconds before being allowed to move on.
After seeing this game this just makes me want a cartoon with these characters where parsnip annoys lerose every day getting her involved in weird occult shit, kind of in the vein of spongebob.
I like this game and love the series, but i realized you can only play the game if you access the software via windows explorer, not via desktop, taskbar or steam if you connect it, only windows explorer, with the other methods an error message pops up stating the game is missing important files
This game was a ton of fun to play. The art style was a delight. The dialogue is witty. The tutorial pages make me giggle. It was a great cute/spooky game to play on stream. We had a blast playing this. 10/10 Worth.Every.Penny! Thank you for such a wonderful fun game. https://www.twitch.tv/videos/773739020
I actually first discovered this game through some fan art someone did! I thought this was super cool and I loved the hidden eye messages through the game. I also loved that Parsnip can poison everyone including goat man
hi! i really love this game! but unfortunately i have a problem. 1 minute after i start the game, it crashes. i'm really sad because i can barely play and continue the story... is there anywhere where i can look to fix this problem?
It sounds like a few people have this issue. sadly im not sure what could be causing it, and since i dont have the ability (or time) to easily look into the games workfiles anymore im unlikely to be able to fix it anytime soon : (

The dialogue HEAVILY implies that the MC, Parsnip, drew porn of them and one fo the other characters together, lol
Maybe his art wasn't lewd, just so bad Le Rose needed a mental break from that sight lol
after all it has 100 pixels total so not like we can tell
true
To those who don't know, please be aware this is a horror game! If you aren't a big fan of horror elements, I wouldn't play. It isn't seriously bad but just a quick warning.
For some reason it won't stay open for more than a couple seconds... I really wish I could play the game!
I haven't finished the game yet, but some people says it's a horror game. i'm starting to think this is true because after clicking on the knife (the knife on magnificent magpie's hause) Parsnip says knives are very dangerous but the scripts comes slower than usual
Since it's pink and cute it can't be a scary game. Totally
i have not played it yet but it looks cute cant wait to play :}
its a horror game q-q unless you already know
o.0 oh I didn't know

Thanks bestie. I really don't give a shit if people dislike it lol. I had to get this off my chest for my own personal emotional health lol
you got ratioed hard

wtf that end
After seeing this game this just makes me want a cartoon with these characters where parsnip annoys lerose every day getting her involved in weird occult shit, kind of in the vein of spongebob.
Awww, this looks so cute! BUT, i'm on itchi.o which mean that every "cute"game will turn dark or depressing .
10 minutes later : Yep! I was right .
I like this game and love the series, but i realized you can only play the game if you access the software via windows explorer, not via desktop, taskbar or steam if you connect it, only windows explorer, with the other methods an error message pops up stating the game is missing important files
Parsnip sure annoys the hell out of everyone.
It was so fun to play, tho the endings really caught me off guard 😅
This game was a ton of fun to play. The art style was a delight. The dialogue is witty. The tutorial pages make me giggle. It was a great cute/spooky game to play on stream. We had a blast playing this. 10/10 Worth.Every.Penny!
Thank you for such a wonderful fun game.

We really enjoyed playing & discussing Parsnip on Indie Game Club (it’s like a book club for indie games)!

I really loved your game. I made a YouTube video on it if anyone would like to check it out.
I actually first discovered this game through some fan art someone did! I thought this was super cool and I loved the hidden eye messages through the game. I also loved that Parsnip can poison everyone including goat man
sheep not goat
this is wonderful, unsettling, and a beautiful look. One or two puzzles i didn't understand but i figured them out without any stress.
This was an amazing game, I appreciated the style and the atmosphere of it all. I felt unsettled throughout the whole game.
I like this game.
I give it a 9/10.
its nice
I thought it would be a good idea to stream this game with my friends on Discord during my birthday party. Needless to say we all got depression.
10/10, would get depressed again.
Loved this game! I have a feeling this is gonna blow up soon! Good job!
hi! i really love this game! but unfortunately i have a problem. 1 minute after i start the game, it crashes. i'm really sad because i can barely play and continue the story... is there anywhere where i can look to fix this problem?

I spent forever trying to find a fourth eye because Rosie had a painting with 4 eyes and I thought there was something to that.
Really enjoyed this; loved the artstyle!
