I bought this on steam. I love it. A solid 7/10. Knocked it down because of some plot holes and glitches I found. Other than that its a really neat horror/mystery game. Weird twist ending, but the graphics and audio are cozy of the era this is suppose to represent.
Edit: There are some bugs that were specific to the Steam version and so were corrected only for that version (like the inability to use the Steam feature of taking screenshots).
Wonderfully immersive and suspenseful PnC adventure game! The art, music, and writing all set a uniquely dark and twisted tone.
The pixel art hits that sweet spot between pretty detail and eerie low-res suggestion. Music nimbly walks a line between manic, brooding, tense, and sacred. The dialogue and descriptions are rich but not superfluous, and read with a natural ease.
Puzzles are well designed, if not a little too straightforward at times, but never frustrating or perplexing. Only one puzzle had me doing a bit of pixel-hunting and wondering if I had missed a clue or overlooked a hotspot (though I was playing without the optional hotspot highlighter).
Great story and characters will pull you into the plot and have you personally invested in your quest.
Relatively short length makes The Corruption Within feel more like a short play than a feature film, which I found quite refreshing.
I see! Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I've changed something in the settings. Please check again to see if it fixed it? If not I'll open up a ticket with Itch to find out what's wrong.

Thanks, Darkface! Glad you enjoyed the game! :)
Has this received all the patches from the Steam version? I saw Steam get a 4th patch but no mention of it on here.
Hey! Yep, these are the same versions. :)

Highly recommend! *****
My deep thanks. Glad you enjoyed the game!
Finished.
Short, not a bad thing, not every game needs to be bazillion hours long :D
Music fit well, pixel art and colours I loved. Character portraits, super nice.
Liked it and eager to see what future has in store :)
Thank you! Appreciate the kind feedback & glad you liked the game!

Thanks Ana, glad you liked the game! <3
Hello! Will you release the non-demo version on the itch launcher? Just bought it and would love to play it. Thanks!
Hey! The full version is now available on Itch. Are you not able to download it?
I am trying to download it through the updater/launcher, but it would only have the demo....

Yayy it worked! Thank you so much!
So glad to hear! Have fun!
Just backed this on Kickstarter.
Thanks! :)
Your project looks really nice - good luck with the Kickstarter!
Cheers! Still 18 more days to go, so we're marching on! :)
