this quickly became one of my comfort games in ambience mode
given the game gave me so many tools to make the world mine, for me to work or goof off however I wanted
calculate optimal potato to dirt bag ratios to fill boxes better
go down the back of the signal tower using a half hook rather than climbing the ladder
breaking my knees over jumping too high over hills and gosh darn it taking pictures of my base after I worked so hard to make it feel and look like a cozy lit home with all sorts of lights that I bought from all my work
it felt like a game that I've been looking for, for a long time... a game despite its issues not being obnoxiously broken nor infuriating at its core or janky (the only jank I've seen is minimal in my eyes compared to so many full release games I've played honestly)
just... comfort...
that was until day 50 when an entity showed up
I understand this is supposed to be a horror game and that the developer(s) may have put a lot of effort into them
but I just wish to ask for at least the option to get rid of entities entirely and focus on the ambiance of it... in the ambiance mode?
lean a little more to the ambiance horror if you still want that? like an isolating feeling of a liminal space?
so my recommendation is for there to not be a 50 day cap of ambience before it just... ends
Edit: I've started a new save! I'm playing it on easy ++ with 50% day speed
it feels horrifying not because of the entity that will show up in day 50, but that if I waste even a second doing nothing in the game I will feel like my limited number of days will be utterly wasted
so... that's a unique probably unintentional form of horror I didn't think I'd have in ambience mode
kind of funny given what it was meant to be
also to the comment under me:
thanks for replying! I guess it makes sense if the priorities were on the other modes... maybe that 50 day of calm limit wasn't intentional
perhaps a limitation on the game? given you can start from day 1-50 when making a new save and the ambience mode stopped working as it was supposed to on said 50th day
I have no idea
anyways- will continue farming those potatoes
