KickStarter Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones - a Lovecraftian Computer RPG

[Cross]

Radial menu doesn't help you if you are missing an item and you can't figure out what item you need. It's the old point-and-click adventure game problem - trying to figure out what the developer is thinking, rather than coming up with your own solution. The brick wall safe is a perfect example of this. It's absolutely not intuitive that you need to go talk to the guard to ask him to break the wall. Why can't I break down the wall?

You can if you have at least one point in the melee skill and a melee weapon.

Big question, I've done everything I can possibly do in arkham, but can't find the radio parts in the warehouse, I've killed everything and hovered my mouse over every box, including box 311, wtf

Side note, I'm assuming you get something later in the game to pry chests open, because I can't do it with a crowbar

Try to reload just after you killed the main ghoul, then going north, then to the left without initiating combat in the last room

I already killed everything in the warehouse at least 5 hours ago, I'm level 6 now and completed the slasher of arkham, literally only thing left for me to do is get the radio transmitter, is the 311 box glitched, or is it somewhere else

 

[Child of Malkav]

What's the level cap? I read somewhere that it's 10. If that's the case, then you can only max out 2 skills. Which means I have to restart.

I don't remember whether the box had 311 on it or not. I found the radio transmitter in the room north of the 'final boss' room in the warehouse. I went inside, then to the left. The crate was the leftmost in that room. There are ghouls on the right, but I didn't approach them or engage them in combat.

I barely reached 7

I can't interact with any of the boxes on the left

 

[The Wall]

Yeah, sorry I just couldn't be bothered to spoiler any of my posts, I'm a lazy fuck like that. Apologies if you saw anything that you considered spoilery.

Tis' ok, I'm abandoning this thread for Arkham, what's left, if anything, of my body & soul will return. Hope Stygian is selling like canned beans on streets of Arkham!

You've already done way too much research. Just play the game, take abilities that sound cool or fit your concept, and make it work. No guides!

go away

im not asking for min-max guide, im asking for meaningful char creation

I literally have 6s in everything with firearms survival athletics, and crafting skills, I've made it so far only died when the rng fucked me, your companions are really strong in this game, even after I dismissed 2 of them and basically can't get them back, dog is op

Being old is better than being young in this case?

Or you can find a weak spot if you have high enough Investigation and solve a little pixel-hunting puzzle (if it can be called that, it's extremely easy). So far the game really nails role-playing, hope it can keep it to the end.

When do you get a dog companion ?

Explorer starts with one.

When you play as the explorer, you start with one. It has 9 AP and his attack only takes 2 AP, so he is a little murder machine.

 

[Mortmal]

Ah shit, so royalty start with butler, explorer with dog , but the other classes gets nothing at all while getting no advantages to compensate that... I only got the soldier companion, the woman dont want to join cause of one materialistic answer, and outsider got shot down by headhunters . Damn game have either brilliant or completely dumb design choices.

 

[Abu Antar]

Do all classes get an offer from the Latino/Spaniard? He does well in combat but he doesn't show up in companion tab.

 

[RNGsus]

Yes.

 

[Child of Malkav]

How do you cast spells while exploring? For example, tongue of the dead.

 

[GandGolf]

It's disappointing that while there are various drugs in the game that marijuana is not one of them (at least not that I know of). Wouldn't it make sense that a blunt, joint, or bong would go much farther to helping your sanity than a cigarette would?

 

[Zombra]

It's odd that you have a lantern at the beginning of the game and then mysteriously it disappears - I never figured that out.

You mean the part where you're following a nightmare man through a street filled with 200 dancing people who suddenly turn into murderers for no reason and the nightmare man walks through a gate which in reality has been collapsed and blocked since the Black Day?

It's a dreamlands sequence dude.

Start today for a better life and a better Codex.

If you have the time to type out a whole sentence, you have the time to type out

[spoiler][/spoiler]

Not that hard. You can do it!

Companions and henchmen are different things. (I only know that because of a loading screen tip.)

 

[fantadomat]

This game will make my investigator go cannibal soon, if food doesn't restock. You have beast in your belly which needs feeding every few map transitions and not enough canned food to go around except... I wonder could I fit bartender Marino in can? Maybe in several, hmmm...

Canned Cornuto, my favourite!

They restock,check the bar. Also you could make some.

It is in the warehouse,could be on the corpse in the last room. Also you need only crowbar and athletic skills. Also use alt to highlight items.

 

[Mortmal]

Fuck this combat system, blasted street is hellish, slow turns with slowest animation speed possible , you'll see when you encounter the critters , waves of them . Then when its your turn , you are hit by some schizophrenia, panic or anything that make you lose turns . There's a specific action to do on the forced boss fight , its obvious you have to use a shovel but radial menu says condition not met... Then when its finally your turn you are so drained of sanity(starting fight at max), or you lose all your AP, and you cant do anything. Awesome design again.

Right-click menu.

Ahh you could max out 3 class dependant skills anyway. Also i don't think that old's skill buff is for every level but only for the start.

 

[Tacgnol]

I'm going to wait a few weeks to play this properly. It seems like the devs have some good ideas, but the implementation is currently a little off.

At the very least a combat speed adjuster and a tiredness indicator of some kind would be very welcome.
