'LoneLy' is a game with a heavy atmosphere and psychological horror comparable with the old Silent Hills and Resident Evils and is created with the RPG Maker VX Ace.


What is 'LoneLy'? It's a game based on true events and the development was started in 2014.This period was a healthy progress for myself to handle my own badly past and to show and evolve my skills for making horror and videogames. I'm in love with retro games from the 90s-era.

The old Silent Hill and Resident Evil games shaped me and gave me so much inspiration that I'm able to make my own 'perfect' game. A german full version was officially released for approx two years but I removed the old one to recreate a better game that is still in development. And now, here we are with the Director's Cut of 'LoneLy'.





After a bad and traumatic event, Timothy Lloyd was forced to move back to his family. He was welcomed happily but this joyful moment was short. Something seems to have changed since his relocation: Tim isolated himself from the others and a gloomy feeling of loneliness shrouded the whole family and was draining their vitality.

By the time when Tim realizes that something's going wrong he tries to escape from the cage of solitude and tries to figure out the mysteries which are responsible for the strange happenings at his home. However, the deeper the path he goes the worse and crueler the horror gets, which he himself and his surroundings are falling prey to.

i get a failed to load archive error when i try to play the main game, but i was able to play the demo where it ended at the generator. which is sad bc i would gladly pay $ to play more of such a great game! </3

Hi, sorry for the late reply. You mean by main game the old version of 2016? Because the new version of the game is completely revised, it is generally no longer possible to link new game saves with the old version. The German full version of part 1 will be released on . February 22nd, the English version unfortunately still needs some time. Thank you very much, I'm glad you like the game :)

You have to start the game from the LoneLy.exe (look at the picture)

Following points should also be considered:

> make sure that you have the latest version of Microsoft Framework

> eventually, Steam may not work in the background, make sure it's off

These instructions are into the text file 'Text IMPORTANT'

If any problem still exists, please give response and I'll fix that problem immediately.

I really want to give your game a go but having problems just opening the game. When I tried opening 'Game' it says Failed to load archive. When I tried 'Lonely DC Demo' it says Unable to find file: Audio/BGM/Echoes (Tims Desire).

Just the same procedure like in the upper post. If it's not work, please let me know and I'll try to fix it.
