I like the fact a group of occultists are actually not evil but instead trying to understand the Eldritch calamity which has dawned on most of the known world, instead of just being cultists. There's already plenty corrupted/maddened humans throughout the game so the only ones who are mysterious and involved in the esoteric being sane is a nice twist on the genre's hallmarks.
if you think about it, it is not really a cult more or less an organization like SCP. its cruel but necessary which is realistic for us to do in real life.
The Cop Car is horrifying. The idea they were just chilling in their cruiser when the outbreak occured and they, their dog(s) and the car all melted into one entity just reinforces why you can't be outside.
@@olgaboyko7510 Some sort of armoured porcupine with a bunch of guns sticking out of it, maybe. Definitely superboss material, anyway. Especially if it can still shoot at you and spit out tear gas or flashbang grenades.
-The cult is literally everything inverse of all other horror games. Firstly they aren't villains. Secondly, they aren't following some religious idea with no grounds on it, they are scientists who just want to try and understand what the "thing" is. -The additions to the Rat baby make it insanely worthwhile to keep, not just as a morality pet for the player as a source of honest heartwarming in a game full of dourer oblivion, but that said Rat Baby is also a sort of odd "replacement" for Joel's horribly deformed and violent baby sister and adds some comfort to him as well. The other partners being able to interact with it just adds many layers to it.
Also in this version there are no monsters knocking to our apartment doors. In earlier versions, there were 50% chance there will be traders or monsters. I used to grind strange lady for her ring and monster robes. Now You meet different people in need. Two punks can stay in Your room and join team, troubled man ask for healing items and give back money for them, homeless guy ask for food and give back random items later, strange lady looks for her daughter and You can meet her and reunite them. Plus there are few more random people, junk collector, jewellery merchant, random stuff merchant, pizza delivery guy. I wonder if decline helping them will they turn into monsters?
It might be more monsters for door events will be added later as I the dev said on their Discord that they do want some events that could be dangerous.
People really need to look outside more in this game called Look Outside. I mean, who plays Look Outside to not look outside? Its like playing Checkers without checking anything, or Football with no groin kicks. Why even bother? The player should really just go outside, take a relaxing breath, and join us join us join us join us join us jo-
I like that our party can now interact with more things within the house, including the rat child. I assume leigh is meant to talk at one point about it, considering the "Leigh 1", "Leigh 2" dialogue boxes too. O especially love that Joel can have a bond with the rat too, given he lost his entire family recently to the tooth mutations
Yeah, there's still a good bit of unfinished stuff that will undoubtedly be polished but it is neat seeing interactions with the rat baby and playing video games with the folks you recruit. Shame I didn't have Hellen and Dan this run as they also have interactions with the rat baby (with Hellen changing her sprite from using the paper mask the rat baby draws for her).
@CrankyTemplar that's adorable! Sam and the allies all work sort of like a family, I'm glad we have little interactions like that to remind us that even underneath all the mutations they're all people still
The dev should give sam a new model whenever he gives up an arm to shows hes lost it (depending on what arm you give up) and that blood will be leaking from your torn limb will follow behind until you get patched up using a bandage. Also i feel like that the more people that live in your base/house, things like bedrolls and bunkbeds should be added to show that people actually sleep and stuff
When you think about all this happens in one apartment building, then imagine all that shit that happens in the whole city or in every part of the world 😰
Even more so, there are a group of characters within this one apartment complex that are still in sound mind and are attempting to make sense of things. I'd like to think there are other organizations that may or may not have had insight prior to the events that have unfolded. Or maybe perhaps there was never any extraterrestrial encounter with earth?
52:51 My favorite update for this game by far. I dunno why, I had a soft spot for this poor baby caught up in this horrific event, and so glad we get to keep them alive but still progress through the game now.
Well, we always could choose to keep it alive. There just wasn't any real reason to do so in previous updates. Plus characters like Dan and Hellen interact with it too at the apartment.
Is feeding the Wall all of your current food just a red herring? Like, does that option not work. It works but it takes a specific amount of food. Or is there something else?
If you try to feed it all your food it just says "No". That's remained consistent across each version. Once you get some party members losing an arm isn't that bad as Leigh, Hellen, or Xaria can do more damage.
This game satisfies my fantasy of some dork surviving an apocalyptic situation with the dog, and rag tag group of weirdos that all ride and die till the very end
Sam's definitely not some dork, he's just an average guy that's definitely seen some things. Because he's a eldritch horror protagonist. Don't forget despite the "le heckin quirkyness" that you perceive with the companions you assemble, most will not be normal after all things are said and done, possibly for the rest of their lives. Sam is most definitely a head case teetering on the edge, another's mutated to the brink of near insanity, the others are more or less in the same boat as Sam. This isn't your reddit feel-good hugbox. These characters are genuinely in a worse off position.
The Cop Car is the most horrifying one, I don't even want to know what happened to the officer and his K9 dog for them to both be merged into one entity. But if i had to theorise its likely that he was shown a photo of whatever was outside by something for him to mutate since the doors of the parking are closed. Either that or he was already a mutant and drove in the complex and stayed in the parking lot waiting for people to pass by
This game keeps getting better and better! I hope when this game gets fully released that other TH-camrs like Markiplier, SuperHorrorBros, Dawko, and Manlybadasshero get to play this game!
It seems companions join you at random. I miss Hellen. Afflicted people get more and more interesting designs. Cop car looks... not as horrifying as I expected, but still good.
Yeah, it seems Joel and Leigh are the only consistent recruitable folks at the moment and everyone else is random. If you stay around your apartment you'll likely pick up folks quickly (I believe the dev said you get 3x door events per day) but with Joel and Leigh should are usually good to progress (it's just brutal to go solo).
I wonder if you could have saved the janitor if you fought the worm head in the basement EDIT: 2:14:17 if this is what you get if one person looks outside while driving a car imagine what it did to those inside airplanes and helicopters
If I remember right you can't interact with the worm head before the janitor gets grabbed. You can fight the worm up top but the janitor is already mutated as its tongue (and the fight is much harder).
I've always had this question in my mind that, what if you are blind, and look outside? Technically you are not seeing anything nor your brain is registering anything so that bring ups the question, can someone look outside and be fine if they are blind? Or just covering your eyes with things that would make you see nothing
It is both , like You can look at it and went mad, You can be exposed to it and it will change You too. It is like some unknown kind of radiation. Cultists wear robes for protection and some merchants also got protective gear, but some not and are not much changed like pizza delivery guy.
Good playthrough 👍 I see You manage to solve most disks related puzzles. I wonder is there a good solution to Nestor love letter quest? Was Raffta gone when he goes near that pipe, or was she fooling us all along? Same goes for hamster in cage, I see no point in exposing him to outside video if it ends with changing him. There are enough other offerings to join the cultist group.
I didn't remember to try not leading Nestor to Rafta which if that keeps him away might be the best option, though I suppose seeing the full quest line will determine that.
For the hamster, i took the bit of it sitting there and changing the feed/channel until it changes to mean its possible to record the *wrong* thing, so you need to make sure the right screen/feed is being taped. Seeing that its possible to do so for the paintings as well, i wonder if there will be one or more endings for giving the wrong offerings. (After all, theres no really safe way for the cultists to check what you brought them) Maybe you could give the wrong manuscript as well for the written offering. No idea for how to get the photo one wrong other than to flub the process used to develop the film.
You should be able to sell in the shop on the ground floor. Eugene's shop, despite being bugged right now, is intended to replace Leigh not being available to sell stuff.
I feel like feeding the rat baby blood ISN'T a good idea. It may just do the same thing but something feels off about it idk. Maybe they might make it do something later lul
I actually thought that danny and hellen were no longer in the game since their the most overpowered in terms of HP and damage, especially hellen, literally starts with 200HP and 34? Of damage with her cleaver, give her the teeth pendent and her attack will reach above 40
I don't think it's possible since once it's in your apartment you can't pick it up to bring elsewhere. Of course, a later patch might give that option.
Lore-wise, the baby rat is already infected it seems. So you'd never know because it would not mutate. Bringing someone that can look at it and still retain their humanity such as Joel and Lyle could do the trick and spare the pig
You get the blank disc in the room with the telescope. You need to point the telescope outside, turn the lights off, and put down the blank disc on the image to get the negative disc.
To be fair he's been changed so much he could have any number of "access ports and plugs" for enjoyment. At that point... is it gay if the usb port fits?
