Hello! I saw in the Palestine bundle notes that gatekeeper needs to be disabled for Mac, but is that also the case for Big Sur/M1 Macs? Even with disabling gatekeeper Im not able to launch. Thanks!
I’m afraid it has been many years since I’ve had access to a Mac; I do not know what might be necessary to make FJORDS work on current osx versions :( I am sorry about this!
i can't open the game, two errors appear when i launch directly from itch or using the file explorer: "Failed to load the game data. File seems corrupted." and "Exception Eprinter in module fjords.exe at 0002E6FA. There is no default printer currently selected."
this is very weird and i am so sorry. i can definitely refund; did you unzip the file all the way into its own directory? it’s the only thing i can think of. :(
Hello intrepid Science Eye! have you set any parameters that are making your exit difficult? if terminal is inaccessible, you may open o_o.ini directly and change the values there (found in SHARECART1000/dat/)
Fjords is a puzzle exploration adventure and one of my favourite Indie experiences ever. Its a glitch space world where you need to learn the rules before you can go about solving its secrets and it sends you on an engaging journey through the unknown that only a few very rare games ever managed to evoke in my as much as Fjords does. Every aspect you unravel on your own will hold a special place in your heart. Despite its simple looking nature, the journey into Fjords is one of a kind. Take your time with this one. 5/5
I am in love with your game for what seems like 10 years already. I also build a small youtube channel and would love to have a video call with you / play a bit of Fjords footage and talk to you about it if you would enjoy that. You can check out my last one here:
Can you write me a mail with your contact info to indietiative@gmail.com? (email and Discord maybe?) :) I am still finishing up some tasks for the Palestine bundle and might need to take a bit of a break then, but I'd love to get in touch with you afterwards when I find some time!
i'm sorry, but how exactly does WARP work? i'm trying to nab the last pizza in the farthest corner of the world and i'm having one hell of a time doing it - is there something i'm missing? it's so finicky, it's as if i have to hope and pray i end up where i want to go!
So far, the game has been an amazing experience. I love the aesthetic, the mechanics, which really reminds me of actual programming (because it is programming, so this comment was a bit redundant), I love the amount of secrets around that I have yet to discover or fully explore, paths I have yet to take, and the fact that the game is not very talked about ends up working on its favor, as every discovery is genuine, an epiphany. That being said, I'd love to see if more people would like to collaborate to find our way around this hidden gem.
I can only respond from my subjective experience of making this computer game and then encountering the pizzas within for playtesting purposes. For me, the pizza is real.
Oh no! This is the first I have heard of this happening. I'm very sorry. I'll try to find a Mac I can test it on, but my guess is that the new OS isn't playing nice with the (ancient) supersound dll that I used to handle all the sound. I can certainly do a refund if you don't have another way to play it.
I love the game! But now when I launch it, the game moves straight into the credits and then closes down. Any way I can work around this? Pretty sure I didn't find everything...
Hi, I'm loving the game so far, but could you please satisfy my curiosity about something? Those variables in the readme file, what do they do, what do they control? Also, how does the whole SHARECART schtick work?
Of course! Many variables in the readme file do nothing, and some of them do something. In-simulation, certain properties are controlled by variables:
-SET abilities
-TRAVEL destinations
-SCIENTISTS
-PIZZA
-GHOST PROTOCOL
There might be more, but I forget. As specified in GUIDE TO LIFE AND SCIENCE VOL. 1, variable repair may be conducted by setting any variable to 99999.
Oh also! SHARECART1000 is a protocol designed to share data between simulations. All simulations read and write from the same .ini file, allowing for unexpected permutations and communication between simulations.

No problem! Thanks!

"Failed to load the game data. File seems corrupted." and
"Exception Eprinter in module fjords.exe at 0002E6FA. There is no default printer currently selected."
i am on a regular installation of windows 10 64x
this is very weird and i am so sorry. i can definitely refund; did you unzip the file all the way into its own directory? it’s the only thing i can think of. :(
thanks for the offer for refund, but i don't need one, i'll keep playing around with stuff till something clicks, i appreciate your help
Of course! Let me know if you find something that works, and good luck!
i fixed it, all i needed to do was update windows 10 since it was pretty outdated, so i'm assuming it needed something that a newer version had
oh fantastic news! ✨👁✨
Thank you,it really helps me a lot.
I'm trapped in the starting area, I haven't figured out how to leave, still love the game 10/10 <3

Like in 1980-s in MS-DOS.
One of the best games ever, in my humble opinion.
*singing a Science Song of Thanks*
with a little practice and precision you can, it's by no means a softlock
Hello unfortunate SCIENCE EYE! You may repair variables directly in o_o.ini, look for switch0 - switch7 and set them to FALSE.
i'm sorry, but how exactly does WARP work? i'm trying to nab the last pizza in the farthest corner of the world and i'm having one hell of a time doing it - is there something i'm missing? it's so finicky, it's as if i have to hope and pray i end up where i want to go!
WARP always takes you twice as far as you want to go. be encouraged, SCIENCE EYE!
i shall! that's all i needed to hear!
BRO HLY SHT IM DUMB YOU CAN MAGIC OFF OF A MOVING FERRY

Are the game have secret room. Or bonus room. I try explore with warp but iya very very hard. Really hard.
There are a few secret rooms. WARP is very powerful once you master it! You can do it!
This is stupid question, but when I want to set like waterfall it says error, any help?
SET takes two arguments: VARIABLE to SET, and then VALUE, e.g.: SET WATERFALLS T
I love this, its so strange but so atmospheric and i cant get enough
Is pizza a metaphor?
I can only respond from my subjective experience of making this computer game and then encountering the pizzas within for playtesting purposes. For me, the pizza is real.
the pizza is real to me c:
--SPOILER--
🍕 hooray! 🍕
Hey! The game looks great but there's no audio :(
This is on macOS high sierra, any help would be much appreciated!
Oh no! This is the first I have heard of this happening. I'm very sorry.

Finished it, loved it <3
YAYYYYYYY *trumpet noises*

Good job!
I love the game! But now when I launch it, the game moves straight into the credits and then closes down. Any way I can work around this? Pretty sure I didn't find everything...
yes, please open README.ini and make repair to the following variables:
DROQ
SMES
WHIT
BYRN
set all values to 99999 and restart the simulation. tyyy
I did this and ended up in an empty room, unable to do anything but walk.
Please find variable ZZZZ and set to 99999, then restart simulation. <3
Thanks

Really love the idea of combine an exploratory plataformer game with a command line terminal!
Unfortunately, I didn't finished. I will glad any kind of (in-game) help.
thank you for playing Courageous SCIENCE EYE
type HELP at a terminal for a list of commands or
HELP [command] for more information 👁👁
More screenshot and an animated gif please for reference.
more screenshots and an animated gif for referencehere you go!
👍👍
I like the colors of gren and the glitch affect a lot!!
Thank you! All the colors are sharecart1000 colors but i'm v happy with how the sprites came out.
