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

[Scrawled]

Fuck it, Sonnia Greene Carter vanished. She said she would wait for me on the Old Eel when I dropped her to get Undead soldier, but now she isn't nowhere to find.

I was counting on her Science to make the Hazard suit for me.

We're aware of the writing contradictions, since they were written according to game having support for companion party admission and dismissal mechanics, which, in the final release, had to unfortunately be removed for overall game stability. We will have corrected the incoherent lines by the upcoming patches.

But does the pyramid accept the dog as a sacrifice?

Yes it does. It has its special ending.

Is there nothing to research after science 5 or 6? I haven't been able to do any scientific research for a while now. Also, I'm having trouble with the Blasted Street boss encounter, and I saw somewhere that science characters can research rocks, but I definitely don't have that option. My science is 8.

Sorry, but I haven't played in a while and have beaten the game a few times since that post. I was trying to research the wrong rock because a different rock worked. Somebody on the forum here had set me straight.

That's insane! Patch in companion dismissal and not patch out the dialogue! How can the game be so unstable that you can't add this basic, mandatory function?!

Maybe some point down the line they can add the ability to get companions back, but for now they should probably focus on getting the first patch out.

Scripting is hard.

That almost never happens. Once they start changing dialogue to cut something they never put it back after.

I actually liked the game very much, but goddamn it is a buggy, frustrating experience! And I never thought I would live to see a CRPG where companion dismissal is considered a luxury feature. The End Times are nigh I tell you.

This game, alongside the singleplayer of They are billions is my biggest dissapointment in the last couple of years.

 

[Tommy Wiseau]

Good for what it is. Loved the atmosphere, hated the combat.

Had it not been incomplete plotwise, it would've been a pretty decent game.

So what exactly are mechanical effects of different Marks of Cleansing? Right now instead of proper trait stats, it gives this cryptic wordy description so you have to guess on your own.


Out of six of them only two are easy to spot on the char sheet:

Compassion is +1 phys. def. -1 supernatural.

Self-respect is +1 to mental resistance but +5% to critical fail.

Help me with the other four:

Friendship says it "enfeebles my bonds of camaraderie" whatever the hell that means in gameplay, while supposedly lowering sanity impact from KIA followers.

Love is higher addiction resistance and some kind of negative effect on sexual desire. The prostitutes can still be used and sanity restored from them is the same so what does the negative do? Another bug?

Longing is "easing your mental burden" but "leaves you more remorseful"! Talk gameplay goddamit.

Curiosity "reduces self-improvement" which I interpret as lower XP acquisition (again I want %numbers%) but blesses you with being "less remorseful". How should I know how remorse is translated into gameplay terms. Is it angst or what?

Any insight Scrawled ?

So, I'm playing the game, and it's nice, but please, is there any fucking way to upscale the font size? I'm playing on a laptop 1366x768 and my eyes are starting to hurt.

 

[Zombra]

Checking thread to see if it's time to play yet ... based on this page I'm guessing no.

 

[Sloul]

Patch has not yet been released, so nope.

Try it, you may be lucky - it's stability varies greatly from system to system.

 

[Sloul]

No really, don't. You waited until now, wait a bit more and play it patched.

 

[HoboForEternity]

No really, don't. You waited until now, wait a bit more and play it patched.

if it's like insomnia, then it's patches all the way down, baby

Unfortunately no. And the devs don't seem to care.

I'm also waiting for the patch.


Question for anyone who has recently played: Are firearms still inferior to melee for combat? I've heard mixed things.

They haven't touched balance.

Due to scarce quantities of ammunition, you're better off not relying too heavily on firearms for your regular party members; though, oddly enough, the extra fourth party member you can hire has never-depleting ammunition. Science can be used to craft more bullets, but the items needed for this are also in short supply, and similarly purchasing bullets consumes money needed for other purposes, so you're better off not having more than 1 regular party member specializing in firearms rather than melee.

The dead soldier with his rifle and my PC with his pistol worked out well enough.

I totally called this.
