After digging through a lot of the files and solving a majority of the puzzles, I can confidently say that I think the characters are a super strong aspect of the game, backed up by (in my opinion) phenomenal world building in the case of the level 4 logs.

Kari and Nanami are by far the most interesting characters to me, and I would *LOVE* to see them get fleshed out and see where their routes go.

While the main quests are a bit lacking, this is to be expected, but how the characters behave and respond to things feels good and seeing how they each handle the situations keeps me engaged. I absolutely encourage you to flesh out the story and the characters.

I think the main reason you see a lot of people talking about the puzzles is that they are probably seen an avenue to advance the story, which is why I think its a tad odd that you can do the story without interacting with the puzzles at all. Even just thinking of the suggestion of making them more intertwined seems like a nightmarish rabbit hole in terms of development, but I think what we have now is solid enough to be expanded upon in the current system.

Found jar and doll, was running low on resources before i could figure out how to use them, but me thinks I am running out of content lol

Oh? if you havent figured it out maybe im not on the right track. Only one way to find out!

I think you just made a lightbulb go off, and I am actively sitting with my head in my hands realizing i *didnt* brick my first save. This game is incredible.

I absolutely feel your pain, but piggybacking off of what Cloud said, consumables.

Do the story. unlock working. hit f 3 times and hold shift for a couple of days, then buy enough meds to stock an army and youll breeze through it just fine. 

As for a walkthrough, this is a puzzle game. I completely understand wanting to see the content, but imo seeing the content in an organic way and thinking "well, that was hot, but how does it interact with the rest of the game" is a part of the experience. If you are that hardstuck, I can give you some hints for the manor since its def my most tested rn, but I would encourage you to try things. 

This game is a regression testers wet dream. It being still kinda unstable and not knowing whether a solution is a proper solution or an exploit is a part of the fun.

**Also, this forum is an amazing place to look for answers. Many people (myself included) get the lightbulb from little scraps of information, and make me feel like an idiot for not putting things together (looking at you, "c-remover")

I believe that the reset is needed in order for the stat management to not be redundant. The dev has stated he wants to make the game *hard* (which hes already done a spectacular job on btw). The loop of the game is explore, get stuck, brute force/eureka, get dopamine. 

Cloud has mentioned they have over 100 hours in the game and still do not know every little bit. The game is DEEP, and without the resets it would be much shorter and imo much less satisfying.

Is the decon spray a different item from the stuff you make? Normally I have to get all 3 vials and the other bits to make whatever I use to get parasites off

I could have been using a different combination or smth, as one time i got a Malice, then Squiddy boy, and whichever one i used ONLY got rid of squid, and not malice.

I have a feeling I know what it is. As far as I know the only things I need left in the forest are the Frostcap for the "other" chest, as well as figuring out what page 16 meant regarding "shaking well (tho i have an inkling im onto that one too)

Could you hint at the clay doll? I've found the red book as well (havent been through the library, still testing forest stuff), and ive seen mention of a jar and doll but have never come across them, and I feel like ive been through the place top to bottom.

I dont want to give too much away, but to get level 3 you will have to go through some spaces you might not initially be keen to pass through.

A little late to this response but, I think it depends on which route you took. I presently am working with a female PC and if the unwidow gets on me while i have squid suit, gamma clears both. Its possible that if your PC has a penis its permanent, but I havent tested

Try using a light in the same room where you get the jessica transformation. Somewhere around there you might find a way to both get pregnant in the dream and lock it in for real world.
