Play Ragnvald, start the game n keep going to the bookshelves right at the start and looting em, (takes like 1 min)using ur lucky coins, in like 1-5 tries you can get an empty scroll. Use it, 1st verse: O LORD 2nd verse: GIVE 3rd verse: RING OF WRAITHS. Go save at the first time bed, and keep looting random stuff till u get the eagle shield. (if u don't get it, steal from the iron shakespere and get another empty scroll and use the code to get it) Quickly go to cahara, just 1 tap his head n kill him, take his soul, use it on the hexen table at the start, get his skills. Get steal, go to trortur, cut off his arm, he's helpless, steal from him the vault key, kill him. Go to the secret vault that'll reveal ull see if u light all the torches in the area trortur is (also at start of game) Get the penance armour/helmet (Berserk armour) put em on, (will make u bleed forever, but the ring counteracts it) With this armour, the shield, the ring, you're pretty much invincible tanking dmg wise, and it makes you immune to everything but bleeding and burning, meaning u can't lose limbs or nothing. You'll also never have to deal with hunger as u can just eat all ur enemies, enjoy lol. Congrats, ur guts.
Make sense cause like nosramus said alchamist like enki and him/her are hard to know if they are a man or a women base on facial features and appearance
There's a surprising number of parallels between Fear and Hunger and Pathologic. Both have multiple characters with different routes and endings, with the characters you don't pick being NPCs. Both have difficult to avoid semi-permanent status effects that make your playthrough exponentially harder, and both will probably kill you in the very first combat encounter, which is probably best to avoid entirely.
The crucial part I think you're missing is experimentation. Ex. That zombie enemy that gives you a lot of trouble? You can literally kill it without getting hit with the talk action.
the problem with experimentation is that u can't save before trying something because there are designated spots to save and then if you want to try different things you have to walk all the way back every single time
@@zaketenyu1932thats part of the game. You will not succeed on your first run. Try to experiment with our character until they break, then start from the beginning. It is frustrating, but also very rewarding.
@@zaketenyu1932 yep, thats why i only fuck around experimenting if i did little or no progress after the latest save. if i have a lot of progress i prefer to look out for a place to save the game.
Just an FYI, to cure infected limbs you can equip and the unequip the Salmonsnake Soul on a character. However, you need to beat the Salmonsnake first and use a soul stone on it's corpse. So there are unlimited infection heals, you need to earn it.
@@Shireke01 it’s real, its how I beat my first run w/o any characters losing their limbs from infection. It’s cheese, but I beat the salmonsnake with Ragnavaldr, moonless, and the girl
If you really wanna go into some untapped material try the sequel, fear and hunger: termina. There’s even less content and info surrounding that game, plus I think it makes some quality of life changes that the first game sorta lacked
Termina is in an interesting place, where polishing and streamlining original F&H might have hurt it. F&H is noticible for it brutal difficulty and unfair game design, so tonning it down kinda cheapens the expirience. Or so it seems to me, from how much attention first game get, and how little second. Aren't that a pickle to suck on?
Learning fear and hunger is like learning a bike without training wheels, no brakes too, no handles as well, no front wheels, might as well take out the back ones too, you know what? No seat either, you just got a metal rod up your ass and have anal bleeding, that's fear and hunger. But for real, of course it's popular in Russia. Truly a painful experience.
I have a tip for you, I've been playing the game for a few months and I only recently found this out. Zombies were always fking up my runs even with how good I got. If you talk the zombie and tell him prepare to die they stop attacking and will die afterwards if you tell them they're a product of necromancy. The later zombies only stop attacking for a moment
Also yellow mage strat is to take 1 leg out because after that they can't use hurting anymore, then take an arm out. If its on T&S or hard mode you have to take the both arms out. This will let you get the Eclipse talisman without the mage fighting back. Then the head, body shots are pointless because yellow mages have high body HP.
For some reason I keep seeking more info about this game but I can't bring myself to actually play it, despite it slowly taking over my mind and kind of sort of driving me insane slowly but hey that's just another mental illness on the good ol' brain meat so its got some friends in there.
I would honestly play it because it is very rewarding to overcome the game, and since you know a lot about it, it's going to be a lot easier for you. Generally if you get to the point where you have a few party members the game becomes a LOT easier.
This is something that's been sitting in my library, taunting me. I don't remember why I bought it, and I don't know if I even want to play it, but I'm glad it exists.
Fear and hunger is a one man solo project and he made it for a college class and even wrote his thesis paper on his game. Last year he made a sequel to his game.
YESSS TH-camrs are starting to notice this game, the bad thing is I don't think they would make a video about this game because of reasons that TH-cam obviously would not like. Like the ever mention tags that game has XD.
yeah i'm even a bit late to the wave, wish i uploaded earlier cause i started working on the vid like 2 months ago. and yes i did my best to not go in detail about the explicit parts but you never know with the algo gods lol
I've watched so many of these types of videos about this game, and I'll never get tired of the suffering and awe you all seem to go through. Truely delightful. Also, if you struggle with hunger... just become a cannibal.
one of few RPG realism horror game where killing an enemy rewards you by surviving another day, it discourages you from fighting haphazardly and i think thats a pretty cool concept
So for the infections, it's kind of a niche thing, but if you defeat the Salmonsnake you can put its soul into a soulstone, and equipping that to a character makes them immune to infections, and also cures any infection on equip, so it's an infinitely reusable infection/bleeding cure. It's also just really powerful because having it equipped also prevents limb loss. That's honestly what makes Fear and Hunger so fascinating. You don't increase your survivability by killing monsters, you get it from learning the game.
Oh yah, the weirdest thing about this game is you can combine 2 characters into 1 on a ritual circle, to do it ofc you just need 2 characters ofc and "make love", and do not mean like a kiss your partner and some magical stuff happen, no you literally just gonna "go down" with your partner and you will see a cut scene of them doing "making love" until thye umm... proceed to fused together and become "MARRIAGE" :) Not as beautiful as I thought it was the first time I heard of this lol.
I hated when during my run I kept having to reload because my repeated attempts to heal with the orgy rabbits and resaving afterwards kept failing because of that annoying coin flip mechanic. When I finally passed the coin flip for the healing and was almost at the save bed I realised I forgot to give Cahara a green herb for his infection when he died before I got to save… …he got the infection when I stepped on a rusty nail too. Its so easy to not notice those 😒 And another annoying gameover I got during that time was when I managed to heal but failed the saving coin toss so that bastard torturer guy came by and took Cahara away and tortured him to death. Sliced off his pee pee and everything. Its still a great game though. The gameplay is very interesting and I love how dark and morbid the game is. Though I’ve been getting through it with a guide so a lot of my game overs have resulted from bad coin flips.
Both games are great ... Full of personality, with their references and inspirations on plain sight, but still original and special, unlike most of whatever AAA devs want You to consume
I know nobody can expect you to be an expert at this game after a few days of playing, but you're getting some things wrong. No big deal, just pointing it out. Appreciate the video anyway, the game is a gem. And yeah, it can be pretty annoying as well. Just to be that guy and go 'well, actually...' real quick; there's 3 beds you can make completely safe. The one you already mentioned, the one with the crow statue after killing the Crow Mauler and the one just before Trotur, if you defeat Trotur and every Guard on the floor. You can save the game at all of those without risk, once you killed the specific enemies. Also, infection (and bleeding) is a joke if you know how to deal with it. Before you reach the caves, you need to use your herbs, true. But killing Salmonsnake and using a Soulstone on it will give you an accessory that cures bleeding and infection just by equipping it. So you can just unequip that from whoever and slap it on your infected guy/gal and you're fine. Permanent cure. I am aware though, that figuring this stuff out on your own can take quite some time. I don't expect every reviewer to know the game in and out. I actually like that knowledge is the one thing that makes you powerful in this game and the sequel. Most enemies you can kill without ever taking damage just by figuring out their attack patterns, for example. Combat is more of a puzzle than actual RPG-style fighting. Either way, sorry for writing a novel, lol. Just happy the game is getting more and more attention. Thank you so much for the review.
i have put..... 70 hours.... into this game..... gotten 5 endings in counting..... spedrun the game even on stream...... AND I DIDNT KNOW YOU COULD RECRUIT MR FLYING HEAD TILL NOW
got f&h a few months ago but finally got around to beating it once eyepatch wolf dropped his video... its just so engrossing somehow and i dont even care if i have to go through the same thing 13 times to get it right i just. Do. i cant stop thinking about it im kind of insane i havent even TOUCHED the other difficulties (except dungeon nights) and half the events but god its hypnotic. i dont even wanna say fun per se, like i feel as if i open the game, Get Posssessed for 4 hours, and then close it
Id love to play it myself despite everything, I’ve seen countless tens of hours of content on it, streams, normal videos, video essays, reviews, and I can’t because I don’t have a pc or steam deck. God knows though as soon as I buy myself one that’s one of the first things I’m getting, especially since the games, 1 and 2, are so cheap despite the countless hours you can put into them both
Blue Sin- Book of Maharb Infections- Salmonsnake soul Saving- Clear the area(with no enemies in an area you get a safe save I recommend Totrturs area cause it has the easiest enemies) Limb Loss- Guard, defense stance, or salmon snake soul
Fear and hunger is honestly such an incredible game! I don’t really agree that you should google all the stuff you don’t know about tho. Fear and hunger is in my opinion a game about knowledge. Learning about the game and its systems is basically the progression. Each time you lose and have to go back the only thing you keep is whatever knowledge you gained. Eventually that knowledge will allow you to progress and beat the game. Also, many of the books tell you useful stuff. For example anathomia tells you about the different status effects. I recommend saving your lucky coins for bookshelves (especially in the beginning) and ALWAYS reading any new books you get. Also, going to the wiki isn’t always helpful, some of the info is incorrect (or at least it used to be on the old wiki, they’re switching over to a new site atm). Plus, reading the wiki might inadvertently spoil stuff. If you get stuck I’d honestly recommend watching a video on it, Frapollo usually has good tips but there are a few tip channels. Honestly I really recommend this game to anyone with the stomach for it and I’m so happy it’s getting more attention
I guess it's just how my luck went, but I swear whenever I had the girl attack an enemy's head, it was an instant kill more than half the time, she so rarely missed. It kinda became a joke that this musclebound cannibal barbarian of a man needs to be protected by a little girl in a mouldy black dress xD
No game has truly captivated my mind like Fear and Hunger 1 - its really insane how well it convey a horror atmosphere by making me panick that anything could kill me and lose progress - it also makes the unknown so unbelievably scary. I would say though, that by the time I got to Ma'havre I lost a bit of interest because it felt like you could gather all the resources you need to be set for the rest of the game well before that - plus I was less inclined to experiment because if you fuck up at Ma'havre you're gonna have to replay like an hour of content or more to get back there again.
I feel like infection is really only a problem when your learning the game and i think that’s why it’s a pretty fair mechanic aslong as you avoid specific enemies
Yall, the game was designed by a guy based on the inputs of people for what they believe a scary game is (iirc) for his master's thesis. He built the game based on what people don't wanna have to go through, ofc it's gonna be tedious as shit.
+I wish more niche games were being made today. Like they did during the previous gens between the 2D, 2.5D, to 3D era in gaming. Then we had the arcade games transition to at home consoles situation. Really creative games were being made ALL THE TIME then. They shouldn't of ever "gone away from that style of games being made to this day.." like NFL BLITZ, NBA street vol 2, gauntlet, so many more styles of games, and the passion in which they were made. It should have never gone away.. I don't understand how gaming in the current day, has gotten to the sad way it is and why it's taking so long for gaming to change, to adapt. Can we please go back to the best aspects that we all loved BUT we should utilize our current technological advancements & modern software/hardware capabilities to our benefit. Rather than whatever the current Triple AAA gaming companies are doing now. *Perfect example: L4D2 & Halo CE on the OG Xbox have BETTER A.I. & gaming features then ANYTHING similar to them even tho it's over a decade and a half later with tons of technological advancements... The people in control of those advancements are holding back the true creative potential because they are chasing the wrong aspects of gaming because they think "it will bring them the most financial success" *(well the trick is, someone doesn't know they will be making a masterpiece or a cult classic. It will only happen if the creator leans fully into their creative passion & if they understand what core aspects make a good game, or film, TV show, music, etc.) That's how people truly find success. Not "how can we get players to pay money for this, pay money for that?" If you build and make something GOOD. People WILL BUY IT. Popularity will come to the ones that deserve it. It's not like success is a set of cake baking ingredients that can just be baked over and over again with just a different color on the outside to provide a false sense of difference between the cake's. (Sadly that's the bland soulless approach the modern gaming industry is taking right now as I write this)
20:08 it's so bizarre to hear you say that because this same thing gets said all the time in other videos and by other people, and before I played F&H it happened to me too. it's just this weird compulsion to buy and play this stupid game, its a fucking cognitohazard. once you know about it, you have to play it. it's creepy the way it reflects the way the dungeon in the game beckons and attracts its victims
Don't salmon snake soul get rid of infection? also. you can talk to the zombies and convince them to stop being zombies. I love how this game makes you feel weak but as you explore and learn more you become a monster yourself being able to even kill the final bosses in a few turns.
bro I really wish you could upload more frequently because istg you're one of the funniest and most interesting gaming youtubers I've ever watched!!! I hope youre doing well despite playing this godforsaken game and I hope your next upload wont be only in 2024 🥹 gonna binge your old vids after this one lmao take care dude 🫶
I just recently dived my head into this game searching and oh boy, I still am unsure if I wanna play it myself I love your humor though, so i will be looking forward for more content ;)
What if I told you that the little girl can actually become one of the most powerful characters in the game? ... That's not a joke she, and only she, can learn the best spell in the entire game.
THANK YOU, 2nd best video on the game and i'm really grateful that you talked about the random deaths and darker aspects (that people skip), i got an epiphany. I'm also relieved by how well executed it was, the others weren't, this left me wanting more.
@@GustavoSilva-ny8jc i didnt actually, i was pissed off that he uploaded that exact topic before me cause i was working on the vid for so long so i didnt wanna watch it lmao
@@GustavoSilva-ny8jc i think an older video on it started getting recommended to everyone, that's how i found the game and decided to play it. assuming its the same for SEW
For newer it so cruel but if you know some it so easy. There many way you can farming item and resource if you can figure out. Save on bed and go to bunny mask or wolf and try coin flip over and over until you win. Fight against door with HP and mind ring to slowly refill HP and mind. Or most broken way is get "Transmutation" skill by dig the ground from map location or use empty scroll and you can create food and mind potion by water as you like. But glad to anyone trying this game even so hard and struggle.

They're both worth playing though

I've watched so many of these types of videos about this game, and I'll never get tired of the suffering and awe you all seem to go through.

Also, if you struggle with hunger... just become a cannibal.
My favorite part of the game is how it let's you make objectively bad decisions like jumping into a latrine.
one of few RPG realism horror game where killing an enemy rewards you by surviving another day, it discourages you from fighting haphazardly and i think thats a pretty cool concept

So you can just unequip that from whoever and slap it on your infected guy/gal and you're fine. Permanent cure.
I am aware though, that figuring this stuff out on your own can take quite some time. I don't expect every reviewer to know the game in and out. I actually like that knowledge is the one thing that makes you powerful in this game and the sequel.
Most enemies you can kill without ever taking damage just by figuring out their attack patterns, for example. Combat is more of a puzzle than actual RPG-style fighting.
Either way, sorry for writing a novel, lol.
Just happy the game is getting more and more attention. Thank you so much for the review.
i have put..... 70 hours.... into this game..... gotten 5 endings in counting..... spedrun the game even on stream...... AND I DIDNT KNOW YOU COULD RECRUIT MR FLYING HEAD TILL NOW
1:41 it's actually a diploma thesis project or something like that xd
watched Connor (Cdawgva) play it and someone described as "Berserk Undertale". Never have I found a more fitting way to describe it.
I’m really freaking glad that fear & hunger is getting the recognition it deserves!
"Man, I fucking hate this game!"
"Why do you have 10,000 hours"
Good ol Funger, the best game you don't wanna play
got f&h a few months ago but finally got around to beating it once eyepatch wolf dropped his video... its just so engrossing somehow and i dont even care if i have to go through the same thing 13 times to get it right i just. Do. i cant stop thinking about it im kind of insane
i havent even TOUCHED the other difficulties (except dungeon nights) and half the events but god its hypnotic. i dont even wanna say fun per se, like i feel as if i open the game, Get Posssessed for 4 hours, and then close it
Id love to play it myself despite everything, I’ve seen countless tens of hours of content on it, streams, normal videos, video essays, reviews, and I can’t because I don’t have a pc or steam deck. God knows though as soon as I buy myself one that’s one of the first things I’m getting, especially since the games, 1 and 2, are so cheap despite the countless hours you can put into them both
Blue Sin- Book of Maharb
Infections- Salmonsnake soul
Saving- Clear the area(with no enemies in an area you get a safe save I recommend Totrturs area cause it has the easiest enemies)
Limb Loss- Guard, defense stance, or salmon snake soul
Last thing you wanna search for knowledge is the funger wiki
Fear and hunger is honestly such an incredible game! I don’t really agree that you should google all the stuff you don’t know about tho. Fear and hunger is in my opinion a game about knowledge. Learning about the game and its systems is basically the progression. Each time you lose and have to go back the only thing you keep is whatever knowledge you gained. Eventually that knowledge will allow you to progress and beat the game. Also, many of the books tell you useful stuff. For example anathomia tells you about the different status effects. I recommend saving your lucky coins for bookshelves (especially in the beginning) and ALWAYS reading any new books you get. Also, going to the wiki isn’t always helpful, some of the info is incorrect (or at least it used to be on the old wiki, they’re switching over to a new site atm). Plus, reading the wiki might inadvertently spoil stuff. If you get stuck I’d honestly recommend watching a video on it, Frapollo usually has good tips but there are a few tip channels. Honestly I really recommend this game to anyone with the stomach for it and I’m so happy it’s getting more attention
"High Level Enemy" Yeah this game has no levels. It just has enemies.
Honestly, if I get lost in the F&H dungeons, I 100% get someone not coming to rescue me.
I guess it's just how my luck went, but I swear whenever I had the girl attack an enemy's head, it was an instant kill more than half the time, she so rarely missed.
It kinda became a joke that this musclebound cannibal barbarian of a man needs to be protected by a little girl in a mouldy black dress xD
Chromerot upload LETS GOOO!
LFGGGG
Entertaining video about what seems to be an interesting game. I know I can count on something fun and insightful every 6 months from No Cap.
And I thought Rain World was a torture game
10:38 if you talk to the zombie and say "prepare to die" he wont attack back anymore
The wiki is not reliable btw
No game has truly captivated my mind like Fear and Hunger 1 - its really insane how well it convey a horror atmosphere by making me panick that anything could kill me and lose progress - it also makes the unknown so unbelievably scary. I would say though, that by the time I got to Ma'havre I lost a bit of interest because it felt like you could gather all the resources you need to be set for the rest of the game well before that - plus I was less inclined to experiment because if you fuck up at Ma'havre you're gonna have to replay like an hour of content or more to get back there again.
its got a sequel :) Fear and Hunger 2: Termina
You can actually get Blue Sin by using Passages of Ma'habre just before the cave in. Always worth using an empty scroll to get Passages.
PLEASE PLAY KINGDOM TWO CROWNS. IT LOOKS LIKE A BORING 2D GAME BUT ONCE YOU PLAY MORE THEN 30 MINUTES ITS A MASTERPIECE
I feel like infection is really only a problem when your learning the game and i think that’s why it’s a pretty fair mechanic aslong as you avoid specific enemies
have you tried talking to the ghoul and telling it you want to kill it?
Bam turns from awful to literally the easiest enemy in the entire damn game
PS: you can safely save in any given bed if you kill all/specific enemies in the area
😂😂😂
Glad to see you back Mr. Rot, chromeboy, the great rotted one, etc.
mr aluminium smudge
Good to have you back!
again
i deserve to be bullied 😔
Yall, the game was designed by a guy based on the inputs of people for what they believe a scary game is (iirc) for his master's thesis. He built the game based on what people don't wanna have to go through, ofc it's gonna be tedious as shit.
fear and hunger really brought be back into the rpg community its just so unique
Welcome back
Wiki is NOT always right. If you need some info, search it up on yt: there are like 3 channels that do ACTUALLY good guides
You're better off becoming familiar with Frapollo94 or AllBonesJones' channels, the wiki has a lot of errors on it.
NEW ROT UPLOAD WOOHOOOOOO
+I wish more niche games were being made today. Like they did during the previous gens between the 2D, 2.5D, to 3D era in gaming. Then we had the arcade games transition to at home consoles situation. Really creative games were being made ALL THE TIME then. They shouldn't of ever "gone away from that style of games being made to this day.." like NFL BLITZ, NBA street vol 2, gauntlet, so many more styles of games, and the passion in which they were made. It should have never gone away.. I don't understand how gaming in the current day, has gotten to the sad way it is and why it's taking so long for gaming to change, to adapt. Can we please go back to the best aspects that we all loved BUT we should utilize our current technological advancements & modern software/hardware capabilities to our benefit. Rather than whatever the current Triple AAA gaming companies are doing now. *Perfect example: L4D2 & Halo CE on the OG Xbox have BETTER A.I. & gaming features then ANYTHING similar to them even tho it's over a decade and a half later with tons of technological advancements... The people in control of those advancements are holding back the true creative potential because they are chasing the wrong aspects of gaming because they think "it will bring them the most financial success" *(well the trick is, someone doesn't know they will be making a masterpiece or a cult classic. It will only happen if the creator leans fully into their creative passion & if they understand what core aspects make a good game, or film, TV show, music, etc.)
That's how people truly find success. Not "how can we get players to pay money for this, pay money for that?" If you build and make something GOOD. People WILL BUY IT. Popularity will come to the ones that deserve it. It's not like success is a set of cake baking ingredients that can just be baked over and over again with just a different color on the outside to provide a false sense of difference between the cake's. (Sadly that's the bland soulless approach the modern gaming industry is taking right now as I write this)
are you gonna make videos more often? please, i love them
the only thing i can say is I'll try 😬
This is the most honest and real aproach in adventuring made in rpgmaker
You REALLY need to try Fear & Hunger 2 Termina!
i will never touch this franchise again
thanks for using sexy enki as thumbnail
ur welcome babes
YES, this is a solo game and so is the second game. Go give them support !
20:08 it's so bizarre to hear you say that because this same thing gets said all the time in other videos and by other people, and before I played F&H it happened to me too. it's just this weird compulsion to buy and play this stupid game, its a fucking cognitohazard. once you know about it, you have to play it. it's creepy the way it reflects the way the dungeon in the game beckons and attracts its victims
Very entertaining to watch hope you get 100k sub soon
I skipped the intro AND the sponsor 😎
banned
10:40 did you know that you can say "Prepare to die!" to any of the ghouls(except the Mahabre ones) and they won't attack you?
Don't salmon snake soul get rid of infection? also. you can talk to the zombies and convince them to stop being zombies. I love how this game makes you feel weak but as you explore and learn more you become a monster yourself being able to even kill the final bosses in a few turns.
YOURE BACK !!!
YES
@@chromerot WEE :D
My man has the most impeccable vibe on yt
Good video. Now it's time to wait another 6 months for another one.
its sad but i created this 😔
I beat the game a few days ago and this really is a game people shouldn't sleep on. This game is special
I'm so happy the game is getting pushed into the spotlight the struggle is real c:
with the ghoul, if you talk to it and tell it to prepare to die, it will beg for death and not fight back.
bro I really wish you could upload more frequently because istg you're one of the funniest and most interesting gaming youtubers I've ever watched!!! I hope youre doing well despite playing this godforsaken game and I hope your next upload wont be only in 2024 🥹 gonna binge your old vids after this one lmao take care dude 🫶
I just recently dived my head into this game searching and oh boy, I still am unsure if I wanna play it myself
I love your humor though, so i will be looking forward for more content ;)
“And I had fun playing it, even though I hated every moment”
I sub
4:46
i know you didn't just hit me with the "BRBRBRBREAK YOUR LEGS"
ah finally sex 2 the game
Great video about a video game I will never play but instead I will watch every video essay that I can find about it
What if I told you that the little girl can actually become one of the most powerful characters in the game?
...
That's not a joke she, and only she, can learn the best spell in the entire game.
1:07 need this beat for my next s-ending run
THANK YOU, 2nd best video on the game and i'm really grateful that you talked about the random deaths and darker aspects (that people skip), i got an epiphany. I'm also relieved by how well executed it was, the others weren't, this left me wanting more.
2ND BEST???
@@chromerot You watched Eyepatch Wolf too... don't lie to me!
@@GustavoSilva-ny8jc i didnt actually, i was pissed off that he uploaded that exact topic before me cause i was working on the vid for so long so i didnt wanna watch it lmao
@@chromerot WHAT?! Plot twist 😂. Does the sudden attention to the game have something do to with Termina release? It just feels too coincidental.
@@GustavoSilva-ny8jc i think an older video on it started getting recommended to everyone, that's how i found the game and decided to play it. assuming its the same for SEW
For newer it so cruel but if you know some it so easy. There many way you can farming item and resource if you can figure out. Save on bed and go to bunny mask or wolf and try coin flip over and over until you win. Fight against door with HP and mind ring to slowly refill HP and mind. Or most broken way is get "Transmutation" skill by dig the ground from map location or use empty scroll and you can create food and mind potion by water as you like.
But glad to anyone trying this game even so hard and struggle.
Prime content, like always.
I gotta say this video has great editing and commentary. Got me into the rabbit hole of this brutal sadistic game.. Scorpio’s dream. NEW SUB
