I tried again and indeed there is a slap skill, but since it only appears on hypnosis 1&2 and then is removed on hynosis 3, you simply are not aware of this option if you only attack, or if you glance over the skill menu, so i simply did not know of it existing untill it was too late.
BTW now that i think of it, i had a few extra little things :
- Since the memory room on this game isn't filled by encountering the events but instead using the "scan" skill, i hope all bosses and event enemies (like goat or succubus) are replayable, or they would be missable, making the memory room unable to be fully completed.
- The description of "retail threads" chest equipement does not match the stats it gives when you equip it.
That's all for now, but i"ll be sure to continue pestering whenever i get back to it and find more to complain about!
Once again, good game, cool concepts, I take the time to provide feedback because i really believe we got something with potential on our hands here.
So there is a box that when hovered over it displays all current status effects, I think by default it is on the top of the screen rather than the bottom. If you don't mouse over it, it will still show you the icons of the effects, just watch it cycle through all effects passively throughout any fight (Default 3: Hunger, Hydration, Sleep.) If you are worried about resources, there is an armor that adds a chance to gain 1 credit after any fight you win, and you can buy Food or Water from vending machines throughout the world. Also small tip: Scavenging building might drain your current hunger, hydration and sleep, but once you hit rock bottom you can keep delving without any new debuffs... Just be sure you have a great rout home, you're on borrowed time if you get in a fight.
Once you complete the Demo (No more area's to explore,) you will be given a unique currency that can either buy "Skill" Books or any missed boss scan data with. Hope this helps.
I knew about the stat box and the armor (wich is called "retail threads" BTW), but the rest of your comment was indeed helpfull.
First time i tried scavenging a building i found nothing in exchange for 1 segment of time so it felt incredibly unrewarding and not worth it, but if you can do it with full 0 on all survival metrics i might try it.
Thanks for giving the game another try!
For the Retail Threads, they should give +2 Endurance and +3 Resistance, which is what it's set on my end. If you're changing into it from a different piece of gear, the menu shows you the difference in stat changes, instead of just the flat value. So, if you had +1 Endurance before, then equip this, the menu will show a difference of +1 instead.
Hope this helps, and keep the feedback coming!
