Why was Sam such a pussy? Of course you're going to have to kill your monster neighbors and loot their apartments to survive the cosmic horror apocalypse.

Nigger. This guy fucking sacrificed a FUCKING ARM to save a mutated rat baby thing and you have the gall to call him a pussy?

I'd probably stay inside playing vidya for the 15 days, only letting in the Jason chick.

>>715749872
Not my first playthough sam, fuck that noise. I also didn't know it became a party member. I named the rat "Armful"

>>715749872
He never even had the balls to flirt with his cute mutant neighbors. Dudes a loser.

>Of course you're going to have to kill your monster neighbors and loot their apartments to survive the cosmic horror apocalypse.
No you really don't, you could have stayed home and waited it out

Does he have good taste in vidya?

>>715751310
According to Dan, his tastes are pretty trash. Dan is not a reliable guy though.

>>715751391
He gives his collection a 7/10

>>715749971
I named him Rathew

>>715750657
yeah but then you miss out on hearing this banger

Was the Visitor looking for Sam to some extent?
Looking gets him sucked out the window instead of changed
Looking through the telescope or it's projection makes him get sucked into the image
Gets a 1 on 1 audience with it after defeating the exalted four.

>>715752636
wasn't there a line from Sybile that Sam was more "chosen a long time ago" or something like that?

How you guys enjoying the new update?

>>715753017
isnt there a big final patch in october with all the cut content and rebalance?

>>715749354 (OP)
That doesn't make it any easier to actually do, especially when you realize it may have been possible for them to be saved
Furthermore, by stealing supplies in a supply-limited situation you may or may not be consigning others to death
Kill or be killed is a radical departure from normal life at this point, it's understandable for anyone to have some hesitation about it, but he gets the job done anyway
Also Jeanne best girl

>>715753017
Putting Sophie in and out of your party is still bugged, I do like Audrey.

>>715749872
Most of these people barely play the game and just come here to shitpost anon.

>>715749354 (OP)
It was demonstrated at various points that, for one reason or another, a monster may eventually regain its sanity and start being a normal person again so going into their homes to raid their shit and kill them may very well be killing a potential normal person who otherwise posed no risk to anybody that didn't trespass on them

Is the game still an unfinished broken mess?

>>715752636
Was looking for sybil but sam got caught in her orbit more than likely. That being said essentially everyone is kind of a reality warper now even if only directly viewing the Visitor mutates you.

>>715749354 (OP)
When does this game get good?
I'm at the labyrinth on I think floor 1. I don't hate it, but my buddy absolutely loves this game, to the point he gifted it to me, and I'm not really finding it very compelling. The writing and presentation I like a lot, but the combat in particular feels more like an arbitrary checklist to determine if I'm allowed to beat a fight or not. I have Joel, Helen, and Sophie, as my party members, I haven't had the opportunity to recruit anymore, and the continual returning to Sybil, while neat at first, is quickly grating on my patience as I have to keep returning to her if I don't want to risk losing the past 15 minutes of progress.

I'm currently paused on the plant area in the labyrinth, since looking some stuff up online made it clear the taxidermy area is not where I'm supposed to go right now (despite being another new area in the starting area, where every other time it was steady progression), and through my disinterested looking through reviews and discussions it feels a lot like a Wario Land 3 type of deal. Where the dev is just designing "spend a lot of time to try again" as the punishment for failure, and desu while I'm enjoying the writing and visuals, I'm really not enjoying the exploration and combat parts enough to want to keep playing.

Again, I'm not struggling, I've only died once, every other time I've been managing resources, combat, retreating and advancing, etc, fine and currently have a pretty hefty surplus of stuff. If the plant area is another area I'm not supposed to go to, and there's instead another area with weaker monsters, I doubt I'd struggle with said hypothetical area, but I'm just really not enjoying the gameplay part of this game and wanna know if it gets better in the rest of this labyrinth. I'm asking when actually playing the game, instead of just watching a playthrough on youtube, goes from "fine/a bit annoying" to "wow this is great!"

>>715751310
What is this phenotype called?

>>715755524
Kinda yeah, still a very good experience.

>>715756397
This also got me, you got to juke the massive rat boss in the earth disk room to the left, then go up the right side to get the mars disk. The circular metal mesh area.

>>715749354 (OP)
Just finished it
I thought it was really cool, loved the art, exploration and music
the combat and difficulty are meh once you have a full party, i hope we get a hard mode soon
The exploration kinda falls off once you get to the ground floor/ basement those areas really need more shit to do
Both spine and Jeanne feel like unfinished content

which probably explains why the Trench Digger was wearing Canadian WW2 shit

he's canadian

Why was everyone in this game black

>>715759828
Low contrast pixel art makes everything look muddy. I think Ernest might be the only 100% white looking character.

>>715759828
they aren't, they're in shadows

>>715760310
This >>715749354 (OP) is not white.

>>715760410
he is, just a greasy haired NEET

>>715760494
>is locked away till the endgame unless you get to the men's washroom with only one teammate
It's bad game design desu

>>715761356
Entire companion system is shit in this game. They make the game way easier but also you get them by sitting your apartment, which you wouldn't want or think to do on your first few days. And since enemies are limited XP is limited so first few bozos you get are the ones you will be using for entire game.

>>715761356
Its good game design, he's a strong as fuck party member designed around the late game but also can be a massive pick-me-up if you've somehow gotten to the ground floor without grabbing anyone

>>715761593
>They make the game way easier but also you get them by sitting your apartment
You get more through adventuring than you do by playing vidya and they stop gaining skills by 10, the only issue is that playing games should give some more group XP

>>715755631
Do we ever get any more info on Sybil and what happened to her or is she and her fate just a complete mystery.

>>715761768
If you get him late game there's like 10 fights left, one being the final boss and the other the optional furnace.

>>715757567
We need more cool sam art
With his trusty bat and gun

>>715761941
Sybil was the leading member of the astrologists and was the first to see the visitor through a telescope. After that she starts loosing her physical form and mind, needing to be assisted by Jasper until she was just a puddle of flesh. Jasper then takes the role of head astronomer. When the Visitor comes down to look at earth it revives her mind, letting her use her eyes and mouth again.

>>715762475
Same but in my minds eye Sam has a cleaver and pistol, since the cleaver is op and you get one super early.

>>715762549
That I knew, I meant in regards to what happens to her at the end. Does the visitor take her? For what reason? I thought for sure the game's secret/true end would center around her so the non-answer, while thematic, was pretty disappointing.

>>715763021
I think the dreams she was talking about was the Visitor preparing her for leaving with it and all her humanity behind. This is only stopped when Sam gets the perfect ritual and the Visitor instead focuses on him.

>>715762349
>If you get him late game there's like 10 fights left
There's enough unless you're hitting literally all optional stuff as soon as its available since his last skill is at level 8 and he starts at 4 while his bread and butter is at 6.
>garage
>fungus
>typewrither and convenience store
>at least one fungicide apartment

>>715763021
>For what reason?
Probably because she was the first witness, the first separate conscious to ever perceive it that sparked the curiosity that initially drew it to earth.

>>715758985
Worse, people make porn of this game.

>>715749354 (OP)
>Of course you're going to have to kill your monster neighbors and loot their apartments to survive the cosmic horror apocalypse.
I hope I don't live anywhere near you

Hellen snusnu

>>715759315
>They're all Quebecois
That explains it, they're not mutated, this is their normal form

>>715763409
>>715763510
That makes sense, but there was definitely some missing narrative catharsis in not being able to confront her at the end. Even if the requirements to do so were convoluted and you weren't able to save her, you should have at least had a chance to have a final conversation with her, though I would have loved it if she was the secret final boss.

>>715763889

And so is everyone without mutations except for dan and janitor

Jeanne's getting more content next update and Spine can sleep with you if you're in the beta branch

>>715764564
Spine best stalker, not even a contest.

i am literally gamer
he looks like me he acts like me hes literally me

>>715751391
Dan is a /v/bro

Damn I've done two full play through, I don't even know who Spine is.

>>715765821
She's the creature you meet on your way back from getting the negative disk in Edwin's apartment. You can spare her if you get her below 50 HP and exhaust her dialogue. Afterwards she'll hang out in your apartment and sleep with you. That's only in the beta branch right now however.

>>715765821
Have you been in the apartment on the third floor with the big telescope monster?
If you turn off the light and avoid him the room layout changes, go up and left

>>715765821
Didn’t she just get added?

>>715765821
>>715766263
Spine was added in during 1.03 and got way more content in 1.5 because dev forgot to add her in for release
She's in the astronomer's apartment next door

The next update will add fully fleshed out dating mechanics.

>>715766440
We shall finally prove that Hellen is best girl inshallah

>>715766440
You practically get the Spine dating sim given that she has some kind of Spine affinity variable that lets you get some extra dialogue. Who knows what Frankie has in store for Jeanne, that hasn't been put in the beta yet.

>>715754768
>Also Jeanne best girl
True. She looks like she wobbles good.

>>715758985
>Game about body horror
>WTF why did he choose to make normal people also ugly?
Nah I'm fucking with you. Truth is that the dev can't draw normal people worth shit.

>Jeanne fags want to fuck this

After a minute of lying down, you feel a weight on your chest. Like someone was sitting on it.
After a few seconds, you feel tremors on your chest. Is she snoring...? That's kinda cute...
When you wake up later that night, she is gone.

Several party members significantly reworked, Ernest is now recruited through adventuring and beating a dungeon, sewers reworked with new monsters, NPCs and a new quest, new party member in audrey, new monsters in several places (that he forgot to put into the release), nestor/rafta quest currently complete.
He's planning on adding enough for a 2.0 for Halloween that fleshes out the shadows amongst other stuff.

>>715768264
>>715768356
For shame you didn't get to score eldritch mutated puss.

>>715768690
You can already 'get inside' Spine if you know what I mean. You'll come out a new man.

>>715768690
She's waiting for real bonding inside that hyperbolic time chamber of hers, cut a man some slack you can't fuck someone at one pump per minute

>>715768926

one hour to one day is not nearly as bad as one day to one year
it's one minute to every 24 minutes instead of one to every 6 hours.

For me, it's Roaches.

>>715749354 (OP)
A little detail that would be cool if Dan's streaming numbers grew exponentially fighting the Exalted Four because he's fighting something so shocking it spreads like fire.

>>715755060
for what purpose

>>715749354 (OP)
My two biggest complaints are that their is no genocide run ending, why put in the option to kill everyone if their isn't a special ending for it? Secondly the game sets up this big killing off a side of you metaphor (Jeanne, Fredric, Sam's mirror thoughts, the astronomers wanting to ascend) and does nothing with it.

For me, it's Hellen.

>>715774812
First teammate I got in my first playthough, no idea how blessed I was. She's basically Pap, without the good armor but more damage focused skills and still tanky as fuck with a massive hp bar. Hellen is a godsend.

>>715760494
This guy treats being a janitor like it's something from 40k, saying shit like it's a never-ending battle with chaos.

I think the escape after three turns thing is weird, it discourages stealthiness because once you're in combat it's almost always better to fight instead of get pummeled for two turns trying to run. It should be the reverse, after 3 turns escaping is much less likely.

Sybil is my wife

>>715776396
You've clearly never experienced a true janitorial crisis before. You know nothing of crusading for order and civilization until you've been knee deep in flood water or cleaned out the mold encrusted remnants from an apartment of one of Chaos' minions

>>715776538
She's flesh goop with eyes and mouth.

>>715777475
Eyes and a mouth, more than enough for the perfect wife material.

I thought you have to be sentient to transform why is there a living vending machine now

>>715772916
Lack of a social life

Hellen is my girlfriend and her blowjobs are amazing

>>715778862
The vending machine was a person
Also there's a car, boiler, collection of pipes, scarves, and some taxidermy that suggests otherwise

>>715778862
>Trying to understand the process of the galaxy sized eldritch being watching you.

Big mistake there.

>>715751391
>>715751486
Dan is literally a streamernigger manchild, he would definitely own funko pops and use 9gag.

>>715752636
You could say the visitor was.... looking outside.

>>715767434
Imagine massaging that many calves at once

>>715774812
When letting her in didn't kill me, that's when I realized these guys aren't monsters, they're just mutated humans rightfully freaking out about it. You get ahead alot more by being chill with 90% of the people you come across.

>>715767434
Imagine..

Cool game but I hated Disc keys and all the dungeons especially the Floor 1 Labyrinth and the Basement so I shan't be replaying
