How to install BFDI: Branches Demo (Windows):
- Click the download button on the BFDI: Branches itch.io page, and wait for the download to finish.
- Open the File Explorer (Win + E).
- Open the Downloads folder.
- Right click the downloaded BFDI Branches folder, and click Extract All.
- Open the extracted folder, open the second BFDI Branches folder inside.
- Right click bfdibranches.exe, and click Open.
- The "Window has protected your PC" window will show up for the first time only. Click "More info" then "Run anyway." You may have to whitelist the program in your antivirus software to open the game.
- If the game does not automatically open, right click bfdibranches.exe, and click Open.
How to update BFDI: Branches Demo:
If there is a new update, it will show up as a button in the bottom center of the home menu. They will also be announced in the #update-log channel in the BFDI: Branches Discord.
- Click on the update menu of the bottom center of the home menu. DO NOT click the update button a second time, and DO NOT close the game before it has updated. This can corrupt the update process, which will make you have to reinstall the game. When the game has finished downloading the update, it will forcibly close by itself.
- After the game forcibly closes, open bfdibranches.exe again.
Troubleshooting:
The game is not opening: Try right clicking bfdibranches.exe, and clicking Open again.
Updating the game does not work/My account info does not save: The folder is likely in read-only mode, which prevents files from being edited. Right click the main BFDI: Branches folder, and go into its properties. Change the read-only settings to allow files inside of the folder to be overwritten.
My game data not saving: To fix this, do NOT run the game through a shortcut, run it through the application in the BFDI: Branches folder.
How do I log in/use Online Levels/use Gelatin's Shop: Accounts and Online Levels are unlocked after beating the demo's Story Mode, which is a tutorial and 4 levels. Account login is in the bottom right of the Home Menu in the person and gear icon, and Gelatin's Shop, Inventory, and Profile Settings are in the profile icon in the bottom right of the Home Menu.
How do I get Branch Coins for Gelatin's Shop: After beating Story Mode, go to Online Levels and beat Spotlight Levels. The higher the difficulty they are, the more Branch Coins you will earn.
How do I go back to Edit Mode after playing a level in the level creator: Press Enter.

when's full release
The fact that BFDI Branches works perfectly on Wine (Wine 9.13-staging) makes this a good game for fellow linux people
ITS MY FAV GAME🇺🇸
I LIKE BFDI BRANCHES💸
Team branches is my fav🤑
Make it available for mac, please :(
AMAZING game!!
I just got a few ideas for some level creator items:
Water: Everyone can swim in it except Firey (who dies or takes damage in contact)
Lava: Only Firey can swim in it.
I'll update when I have more ideas :)
Also some settings like controller config, graphics settings for lower end computers (like disable shaders), and exit to desktop.
cool game ngl
Hey, team branches, my game was running on 60 fps each time i opened it earlier when i downloaded it, but now its running below 5 fps each time. Its not because my pc is bad, it just stopped loading smoothly for some reason. Any help?
so uh, it released i guess
Really? When
june 22
hey, do you know what the title font is?
shag-lounge
Correct!
when was this font made
i love this font
Do you think there will ever be a mobile port for android? I dont have a computer and I really wanna play it
OH SHEESH. HOW DO I MAKE A LEVEL SPOTLIGHT?
only moderators can
wah
Only moderators can make levels Spotlighted. Make sure your level is of high quality, look at Story mode for examples of good level design. You can increase your odds of your level been seen by submitting in the #level-sharing channel of the BFDI: Branches Discord.
So ive seen some levels hide the diolauge characters and i know they put the script inside the diolauge. And how do i do this? It is up to anyone who knows!
nvm i figured out already. extra tip! if you want to make a text. just type this: [hide_sprite] [always_display] [hide_box] Random text
Glad you figured it out!
this game is Very very fun and good i love it
Thank you, Soldier.
Hey Team Branches! How do I update my game?
There should be an update button in the bottom center of the Title Screen if there is an update. The most recent update as of July 22nd, 2024 is v0.1.3, so if it says that, you're up to date!
this game is super fun :DD i had a ton of trouble with the puzzles but then again, its meant to be hard!!! cant wait till more levels are made <33
Thank you!
i've seen people put 1 block gaps in their levels but i dont know how to complete the levels
Run up to the gap, then press crouch to crouch under the gap.
For vertical gaps, only Leafy can fit into 1-block gaps.
yes but when i try to crouch on horizontal gaps i get stuck
Just crouch-jump while pressing a left or right key
thanks
why do i feel like nothing saves
my old levels save but i cant access them
oh i found out why
Upload Fail Code 2763?
Lost my level guess i have to make a new one
are you running it through a shortcut or are you entering the bfdibranches folder
only thing is there is a glitch where every time i enter a level and then exit it and then go to edit, the last level i played gets edited
very cool game
I tired to run BFDI:Branches it on my VM, but it will either do nothing or it will crash.
then run it on your computor idiot
they might probably be using something that's not windows, like mac or linux.
oh
on linux i tried bottles and it runs flawlessly
I had a lot of fun watching this
This game is awesome! It also just works on Linux using Bottles!
Thank you!
i accidentally logged off my account and i tried to login back but it says "account not found" what do i do?? id really appreciate to get my account back.
what was your old account
The game was so good! But when the full game will release?
To Be Announced
why yall got that one nga working on this in php?? 😭😭 i know bro fighting for his life in that code editor 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
can i download it on mac
no
the nostalgia
Is IOS ever going to be supported?
If the app store allows the game yes. or it could be a .ipa but MANY ways of using ipas are broken
I really want it on mobile 😭
Me too I hope the dev makes an android port
Can you please port it to mobile
Can't open it
click more info and run anyway
clck more info and run anyway
Click on the underlined word and then you have 2 buttons instead of 1 in the left bottom corner so click the first one from the left and you'll be good
click more info and run anyway
bruh, no linux OR MacOS port??!!
Runs flawlessly on Linux with Wine!
Yea, I know, but I think a port should be made so that it's more accessible to people who don't know Wine's existence.
I was told a port is actually coming!
i use arch btw
can you add it on mac
each time i open it, this pops up
