Can you confirm there are no white checks in order to progress the story/they can be circumventet by means other than spending skill points?

You can "reset" white checks in multiple ways - saving up skill points is one, sure, but there are in-game ways in place for that. You can do that by interacting with the environment, talking/interacting with other characters (sometimes in a different area entirely), items, drugs. And you can keep track of white and red checks on the world map. You know, in case you forget what's where.

That was surprisingly good review,it was not "tehe the game was funny,yo". I am curious if you intend to add up a free roam option where you don't consume time in dialogues. Also do you consume time in dialogue with your subconscious?

I don't remember for sure. Most actual dialogues advance time (as opposed to some other interactions, because, well, everything happens through that "dialogue" interface, the FELD device) - books do that faster, other interactions less so. You can roam freely as long as you don't strike up a deep conversation with a mailbox or a tree.

Well price is unknown in Russia.... but I'm inclined to consider purchase.

The price is simple : Recognizing the illegal annexation of Estonia by the USSR in 1940

Ahoy matey! Spanish galleon on Zeude West!
But no, I would rather pay if the price is right.

Are you sure? Pressing "H" in-game does nothing for me at the moment.

It was metaphorically.

Press "H" twice to Honk Honk!

So when is this game actually releasing on steam? tomorrow on valve time?

 

[CappenVarra]

have to stop reading to avoid further spoilers

planning on proper larp (5 intellect 4 physique 2 psyche 1 motorics) start in a few days time; i can already tell electrochemical challenges will be a familiar rollercoaster ride

once more unto the breach, see you on the other side

 

[asterix]

23 hours from now. (10am PDT/7pm CET)

 

[Anthedon]

I'm going dark as well to avoid spoilers. See you on the other side men.

 

[Verylittlefishes]

Can't wait.

This. I didn't watch or read anything except official trailers and blogposts. I just patiently wait for the time, when I pay for the game, install it, and play, to come

I knee jerked a little bit until I realized this is the opposite of quest markers telling you where to go. Instead, this is you going somewhere, seeing something, and marking it on the map for future reference. This is how markers are supposed to be done.

Mark this thread for a future handjob.

Looks like a day 1 buy from me.

 

[Heroic Liberator]

Can't wait.

Patience is a virtue, heh.

I see. But what if i fail after every reset, what then?

Then... you suck. But there are ways to improve your chances, some easier, some more tedious.

Spoiler

Yes, even besides savescumming. Also a reminder: red checks you can fail just once

They are open indefinitely, you can keep trying under the right circumstances, they will never lock out.

 

[asterix]

Wouldn't you eventually raise the relevant skills as high as they go, exhaust all the environmental bonuses, thoughts etc. and run out of things to increase to reset the check, at least in theory? Gotta learn to accept that soft lock and live with your failure at some point, no?

So what's the "I wanna see/feel weird shit and solve problems through Malkavian craziness" build? Inland Empire and Shivers?

 

[Darkwind]

No combat at all according to that review, what a fucking bummer. This isometric engine begs for a Fallout style combat engine to stand up next to the deep C&C the guy describes in the review. Oh well, off to play Skyrim...

Shivers isn't really craziness, it just gives you information about the geography around you, half light is more the psychotic

Fallout is dated so much more is possible with isometric rpgs
