"TypeError Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'blendModes')" what the heck? what does that mean? how do i fix it

Are you playing on your browser? Does that happen when you start the game?

Probably one of the best rpg horror I've played in a long time. The story is phenomenal! I also love the character designs, they all fit their personalities so well. 





*SPOLIER*: 

I especially like the tiny detail on the Intern's card where I think it says "Ten" since his grandma is Eight. Very clever. Human Construction Site deserves so much more love. 

Thank you so much! 

I actually never realized that XD That's a cool coincidence, thank you for sharing your discovery~

(+2)

This is honestly my new favourite game and hyperfixation now, and it deserves a fandom! I'd love to know more about this universe; seeing some kind of prequel, sequel or non-game content relating to it would be really cool, honestly (no pressure, of course!) This game is my GOAT 🥹

Thank you so much! I have ideas for a prequel with Noh, but I'll be working on that in the far future~ After I release some other games 

(+1)

Amazing game! You should upload it to steam with achievements and some price tag. because it is worth every penny. Only thing missing is main menu, but I saw its discussed in the comments





Spoilers:

My interpretation of Noh , his ending and everything with the main character , is that there is , or was, some sort of BL/romance in the past between them? And his ending specifically reminds me a lot of Noiz's bad ending from Dramatical Murder. Im curious if im correct with my theory

Thank you so much! I should probably keep it free if it's free here, but adding achievements sounds fun~ I should at least add a pause menu, I agree ahah.





Spoiler:

Noh came to the factory because of their friend who looked like Moku -  but it's their first time meeting in the game. The blue eye belongs to his friend~ I think Moku and Noh develop a very close bond in Noh's ending, but I'm not sure if it's romantic or not - I guess when your bodies are together it goes beyond that? XD

I should check out the DM endings .o. I enjoyed the anime but I haven't played the game~

(+2)

love the game, but man do the chase scenes make rage (probably bcz im bad at video games lmao)

(+1)

hmm are you playing on phone? I did see that the dev said that beating the chase scenes is difficult, from what the dev said. So it might not be just you 

(+2)

nah, its on pc. im just bad at reacting quickly so im kinda slow 

(1 edit) (+2)

I commented before but dunno what happened to my comment but oh well. Played this game a bazillion times now. But I still love it, I might as well just doodle to wait for free time after i finish school to make my fan game, my gift to you and for the fandom, I did not expect my hyper fixation to last this long Caz my murder drones phase was shorter than this XD. Also happy to help improve accessibility to mac users :) Hope you are successful with your Visual novel. <3 
(just discovered that commenting here and doing a ranking for a game is different SOB)

There is link to document on how to use the app for mac users

(+1)

Thanks so much! I've linked your doc in the game description~

(+2)

Pardon me while I sob.

(+1)

Passes tissues

(+2)

Thank you, I needed that. 

bro how do I pass this mirror space thing in the factory, I'm crashing out trying to keep up with Eva

You can dash with shift! But yeah it's a tight chase

</3 this game has taken me 6-7 business days to complete I swear (love the game tho)

(+1)

I LOVE this game! the atmosphere is amazing and I love all of the characters. this is truly one of the best games I've ever played <3 

(+2)

hello there ^^ saw one of my favorite YouTubers playing the game and I really loved how the characters were designed and had interesting personalities, that’s one thing that makes me enjoy games, especially horror. But I wanted to try drawing a few as animal maids because they are freaking cuties and I need mor content of tgem 

Beautiful XD Thank you~


It can't proceed to next map

Please fix the bug, I'm stuck

Sprite for forklift isn't loading, because of that my sprite invincible. And when i try to proceed to next map, it can't load due to bug that earlier mentioned. (If it necessarily before that I saved and locked intern inside room)

Also i have encountered a few less significant bugs like:
  • When you reject to carry intern after your pipe broken,  you're just get stuck between two creatures and sole interaction that you have is to watch how intern eaten alive, despite the fact that creature knocked out 
  • In corridor that explains lore HCS.co and and in the moment that i described above you can climb the wall 
Please help me. Game is very exciting and i want to complete this game

Sorry about that, it's a bug I can't really fix when you play through the itch app but one comment said if you go to the img/characters file directory, find the $forklift file(s), copy them and replace the "$" with "%24" it'll fix it.

Alternatively you can play the windows version, I've made a file with a savepoint near the warehouse~ This is an old version of the game with less savepoints so it'll be harder to beat though. (;^ω^)

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1G0kNvyTqq1SQEingd5ianFvDpGt573BG/view?usp=shari...

Thank you for letting me know of the two other bugs, I'll look into them!

uma obra prima me fez lembrar  dos jogos antigos/famosos de rpgmaker alem de dar uma nostalgia grande, precisa de mais jogos assim no mercado atual.   deveria ser maior.

SPOILER:

true ending: me deixou em depressão profuda  e um gosto amargo, Só me lembrou do final de cyberpunk e de witch's house.  depresão/10

noh ending: bem  por algum motivo me lembrou de "beserk" não sei **POR QUE** 8/10 *coff* eclipse

eva's ending: queria que fosse o true ending :sob: 10000/10

lone end:  depresão/10

lone death: kirby falls meme/10

ENG:( google tradutor)

a masterpiece, it made me remembre the old/famous RPGMAKER games. besides bringing a lot of nostalgia, we need more games like this in the current market. should be bigger. :sob:

SPOILER:

true ending: left me in deep depression and with a bitter taste, only reminded me of the ending cyberpunk(game) and witch's house. (depression/10)

noh ending: well, for some reason it reminded me of "berserk", i don't know **why** 8/10 *coff* eclipse

eva's ending:wished it was the true ending :sob: 10/10

lone end: depression/10

lone death: kirby falls meme/10

resume of all: its a masterpiece/ITS A GOAT!

That means alot, thank you so much!

How to fix this issue? Forklift chase scene after you ram the wall, next scene won’t load.

Sorry for the late reply! Are you playing through the Itch app?

I've noticed the Itch app seems to be having issues with the forklift. 

(+1)

i loved ittttt!! such a good game

(+1)

stayed up all night to play this it's Peak. genuinely wonderful stuff i love it and will promptly be throwing up all over my floor and dying 

(+1)

After I died, I tried going back to my save slots but all my progress was deleted. I'm playing on safari and I didn't refresh my screen or anything so can someone tell me what I did wrong. Love the game btw <3.

The save data is stored in your browser's local storage, so maybe it was deleted if the cache was cleared or your history was deleted? I'm not sure, but sorry that happened :<

(+1)

My friend and I had fun playing this one! I look forward to see what the creator makes next!!

(+3)

DO NOT READ THE COMMENTS BEFORE PLAYING!!! (So u dont get spoilers) -BUT!! do play the game, its a tragic masterpiece.

(+2)

This was great work! I don't even know where to start on the praise.

I loved the artwork and the designs, both the characters and the monsters. Some of them honestly reminded me of some Fear and Hunger enemies (most particularly the entity that attacks the intern).

Trying to piece together the story of the game was also fun. I didn't trust Eva nor did I trust Noh or J, but I especially didn't trust Eva because Noh was very clearly mentally out of it and was just doing what came to mind. 

SPOILERS

It clicked to me fast that Eva was the Perfect Human prototype, just before the scene where the intern gets attacked. I remembered that aside from the intern pointing out that she was a patient when we first rescue him, Eva remembered the name Merck despite it being a bit hard to read at first. The plaque we read confirmed it after mentioning a Merck Johnson. I won't lie; I clocked that Eva was Merck's daughter when J consoled Eva in the room with the large computer by referring to her as [My Sweet Child] and the fact that he indicated only her escaping with the word [you] being in orange text.

As for the endings, the only one's I want to talk about are Noh's, Eva's, and the True Ending. Mostly the themes of co-dependency surrounding each of them.

 I got Noh's first. I was curious honestly and was surprised at how oddly romantic it was. Sad yes, but it was strange to see him care for Moku in their final moments. He acknowledges that Moku wants to remain human/retain some of their humanity and had them form a literal co-dependent relationship. Moku only survives because Noh uses his body to protect them from outside enemies and their humanity stays intact because Noh eats away the growth on them. Comparatively, Moku gives Noh a sense of purpose to protect and survives by eating at Moku's growth. His brain can handle the pain and he can keep the growth from consuming him. Something about that, just seemed so strangely romantic to me.

I went for Eva's next. Even before they make it to the pods, Eva admits how she values Moku's opinions of her. How she wants them to like her and trust her and doesn't think she'd be able to do much without them. She states her co-dependency outright. When Moku has her escape, they do come back for Moku, but Moku isn't able to do much. They rely on her as their caretaker, and Eva, because of what she promised to force the Construction Company to get Moku, she relies on Moku's input for everything she does or doesn't do. Another co-dependent dynamic that the two of them are trapped in for the foreseeable eternity because they can't live without each other. If Moku were to succumb to the growth, Eva would lose herself and go with them. If Eva somehow loses her life, Moku's ending would be much like the Lone Ending, being constantly monitored.

The True Ending was very much a sad ending for all. I wasn't hoping for a miracle, but somehow it ended up being more tragic than anything. The last-ditch effort the Intern made to turn us away was a bit overshadowed by what followed after. Fusing Noh and Eva into an amalgamated mess and then inserting it inside Moku to take to the surface. The three of them forever bound together as humanity's last hope for survival. They all ended up losing. Moku lost the humanity the sought after, Eva never got to be a normal girl who got to go to school and make friends, and while Noh didn't seemingly have anything he wanted, he did want to protect Moku. Offering to kill everyone while Moku made a run for it was a last-ditch effort and he didn't fight it when Moku told him it wouldn't make a difference. I can't imagine the pain their new existence brings to each other. Dependent and at the whims of people who see them as a product to be cloned and sold. Just sucks overall for everyone involved.

Thank you for this creation. I look forward to your next works.

I really want to play this game but when I download the Human Construction Site_Mac.zip (I have a mac), It downloads but then says it can't be opened; "the application 'app' can't be opened". I tried to play the version on itch.io but I don't know how to save it, pressing 'x' doesn't work :(. I hope to find a way to use the game.

Sorry I don't have a Mac so I'm not sure how to fix that, but in regards to the browser or any other version of the game you can only save when the game lets you~

(+1)

OKAAOY THANK YOU, im very grateful for your reply of you letting me know :DD

Hii I guess you have already played it but if it ever happens again to you, you have to type things in the terminal to unlock it. I just asked gemini for the code to open it <3

Hi, i found a way to boot the game on mac :D 

here is the document to the instructions 
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1f9IUgDmq-NTLYMB2KsKhwSlZneUHBZnIu1_d1zncITU/...

I really like the game, but in some places it stuttering so bad, it is just getting unplayable. Especially in chasing scenes. 

(+1)

Aw sorry to hear that - are you playing on browser or a downloaded version? Maybe you can try the other?

(1 edit) (+1)

I'm playing windows version (downloaded). 

(+1)

Is it a specific chase scene or all of them?

(1 edit) (+1)

It was a location right after the guy with knife (there the player trade fork for knife). Game did start stuttering right after the player entered that location (there the MC found the USB stick and chasing start after that).
It strange, but i just  tested that place once again, and everything is fine now. I tried to solve the problem few times before and nothing did help.

Hmm weird, thanks for letting me know!

My coding is bad so maybe some parts could be optimized, I'll look into it~

(+1)

(Sorry, English is not my first language, so I might make some mistakes)  

So here it is, I just want to say that I loved the game, especially the characters. For now, I managed to get the one I wanted, that is to say the ending with Noh. The characters and the story are very well developed. I’m a big fan of games, movies, and other horror works, and it was really enjoyable to play and follow the dialogues. I also want to add that the dynamic between Noh and Moku is both complex and interesting to follow, and I find that Noh is really one of my favorite characters in the game! Finally, since I like creating songs, I made a fan song and the link is here, of course it’s not published:  https://suno.com/s/EjizPSZt5aQIesKl To conclude, I would say that I would have liked to know a little more about Noh’s past. Just a small note about the song: I wrote the lyrics and came up with the music style myself . . Of course, it's just a fan song, so I'm not 100% sure about some things

(+2)

BRO, I don't even know what to say other than... GAWD DAM, that was crazy, I got the Eva Ending, kinda bitter sweet. Even though this game was not visually crazy (it is a 2d game after all) the art is cool as hell, and the story... OH GAWD THE STORY where do I get started, this lore is INSANE, and I loved every bit of it, every plot twist, every character, Noh kinda a d*ckwad but whatever yaknow. Honestly I wish someone could make a movie about this game, I hope this whole story and game blow up really, because it was so cool, and I hope you continue to expand the story of this world, and if I had the resources I would attempt to make a movie on ts cus its just soo good.

(+1)

I LOVE this game, like, it's not too simple, but also not too complicated and the story is easy to follow.

(SPOILERS)

 I wish eva had more scars tho, it would also make her less sus (bc in my experience  I knew she's up to something the SECOND I saw her for some reason lol-).

(+2)

basically my favroite game ever!! i come back to it every few weeks and i just have to say its really awesome!!! i would ask for a spin off or a continuation of the story but thats just me wanting more content :p the story is amaxing the way it is!!

(+2)

Awe it makes me so happy to hear that! I do have a game about Noh in mind which would show the world a bit more, but I won't be working on it for a while > - <

(+1)

i might tell my friend to play this so i can watch bcs i can't do it myself, just bcs i get scared easy.. 

(+1)

I prefer watching people play scary games too XD

the first thing i did was watch big gaming 64 play it XD, before i commited to playing it. So im on the same boat as you are. 

(+2)

this game is awesome, its blowing up on pinterest

(+1)

Pinterest??  Cool, didn't expect that XD 

(+1)

holy shit you replied, are you planning any other games/making more content?

(+1)

I have a prequal game with Noh in mind (How he gets caught by the HCS), but I'm working on a different game so I probably won't get to it for a while :x

holy fuck i went thru the files (dont ask why) uhhh what eva doin? why se an eye? also wtf we couldve had noh in a hospital bed?!??!?!?

(+1)

hii I really liked this game tho sometimes it was too hard for me lol.  Noh's ending was my favorite! unfortunately I can't get the true ending :( I got the blue eye and saved the  intern from the monster with the pipe but at the end I still only get the alone ending idk why, how do I know that my affection score is high enough? I also didn't get the lone death ending. I will play again and try to  get all the endings tho, great game! ^^

Thank you!

There's a true end hints in the download section, maybe that can help?

You can get lone death if you go to the escape pods alone~

(+1)

ahh somehow I missed the other file for the true ending x_x, tnx a lot I probably messed up on the second point about Noh 

(+1)

I got the true ending ! came to find out that I'm stupid and thought I had the blue eye when I only had the orange one :| idk how I didn't realize that earlier

I have a lot of mixed feelings about these endings, in a good way, tho it's hard to articulate them for me because english is not my first language. I liked that there wasn't really any conventionally "good" ending, neither for Moku nor for humans as a whole; there's obv the moral question "is it worth abandoning our humanity for the survival of our species? is it unfortunate yet necessary to sacrifice most people's lives for the benefit of the elites just to keep the human race alive?", but the true end also allows for a literal loss of humanity by abandoning the human body, which makes me wonder if a "perfect human" could even be considered to be a "human" at this point 

 this was fun to play overall and I had a much easier time to get through the hard parts this second time ^^

as a side note I was wondering if Moku's real name was possible to find out, kinda like an easter egg in the game?? because one of the options after saving Eva lets me change their name (which I haven't actually done however) so I was curious 

Glad you finished it! And thank you for sharing your thoughts~ (∩^∀^)∩

You can change your name to anything when Eva asks, I sorta left Moku a blank slate - so their gender isn't mentioned either, their name and who they are is sorta up to the player.

But it seems Moku's the most popular character so maybe I should've given them a background and story, aha. ( ̄▽ ̄;)

Hello, I'm liking the game so far, but I feel like there aren't enough clues as to how to solve most of the puzzles. I find myself getting stuck and dying over and over because I just have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing. Like right now, I have no clue how to move the things to block the way from the white-haired guy while carrying the black shirt guy on my back, and there's no real hint as to what you're supposed to do besides telling you that you can't move them with him on your back. I like a challenging game, but it's slightly frustrating.

Maybe you can put the guy down somewhere?

Please let me know if there's other parts you find need more clarity~

(+1)

Hi. The game seemed really interesting and I enjoyed my experience so far but the save points are just too far away for me to complete it.

I like to explore and even die on purpose just to see what happens but it's very annoying to get pushed so far back and have to skip through scenes and dialogues so many times again to return where I was.

I'll stop my experience with your game here, do let me know if you're gonna add more save points in the future. Thank you for reading.

Thank you for your feedback!

The game brakes when there's save points inbetween certain parts so I haven't been able to put too many, I'll let you know if there's a future update~

(+1)

Hi! I really love the game , it was great! But I can´t guet the eva ending. When I arrive to the capsule with her it dosen´t give me the option to let her ride it. What I have to do? (sorry for my english is not my first lenguage)

:P

Thank you!

Did you already get the true ending?

Eva's ending will trigger if you have a high affection score with her and you don't get the blue eye, since that will trigger the true ending~

But maybe I should still make it an option in the end.. I didn't think someone would get to the true ending straigh away @-@

(+1)

Yes! I  got the true ending. Thank you for the guide ^^ I will trie

(+1)

I did! tkm

(+1)

THAT WAS AMAZING


I CANT SAY ANYTHİNG BUT THAT


I LIKE THE CHARS, DESİGN, GAMEPLAY AND THE STORY

(+1)

this game is rly cool but the checkpoints are so far spread it makes the game too hard :')

I'll be making  an update tonight with a few more checkpoints! And some bug fixes~

(+1)

ahh ur an absolute legend:) will i have to redownload the game?

Np! If you're playing the browser version you won't have to do anything, but if you're playing a downloadable version you might want to download the new file and copy paste your saves.

You can do this by finding the save folder in your old game  - 

Human Construction Site Windows/www/save

-and copy + pasting it into the new version at 

Human Construction Site Windows/www

(+2)

Got my first ending today. Had to go with Evas route shes too precious. 

Awe happy to hear that~

(+2)

made some fanart for this game !!!

(+2)(-1)

Didn't know Moku could look so mysterious, this is awesome!

Thank you!!!!!!

(+1)

Damn, I loved this short game so much. The narrative reminded of the promised neverland which used to be my fav.  Lovely work!!

I love Promised Neverland~ Thank you!

(1 edit)

Anyone having trouble with the controls of the game?
(I'm playing on mac)

I am pressing the wasd and arrow keys and can't get the player character to move on the screen. 

And also how to leave the cell?

Sorry I don't have a Mac to test things but have you tried the arrow keys?

I have and it works sometimes but other times it randomly pauses and I am once again unable to move. 

I've found that spam clicking the return key works occasionally, but only occasionally. 

 

Hmm strange, are you playing on browser? Have you tried the downloadable Mac version? Sorry I might not be able to fix the issues without a Mac.

(+1)

I'll try to play it on the downloadable version!
