Look outside thread. Have you found the secret companion yet?
Is it impossible to save scum for a door companion on day 1 of cursed mode? I've beenr restarting to get somebody but I keep getting a "nobody's there" event with some random item.
I'm trying to get the secret companion, but just headbutted on a wall because you apparently need to have maxed danger.I managed to beat all the ghosts, but to get maxed danger with Sam ALONE is almost impossible since I've ran out of Areas to explore.I can use the black ooze, but if I do it twice to max the bar Sam instantly dies :/
>>724847527The door schedule is decided when you wake up, so re-rolling day one requires starting a new game.
>>724847105How do I do the Sybil stuff and how do I get more Iris keys?I got one after getting the garage power loss event and I found one inside the meat world but the T.V. entrance didn't have another and I already used the sapper chargeI also visited Sybil's apartment but am lost on what to do next
Oh lmao I thought Semper Games was just a Barkley reference but apparently it's the same developer?
>>724848784Yeah, this is made by the Barkley guys.
>>724848143Black ooze has a 30% chance to kill you per item
>>724848845I kneel...
>>724848784Frankie just did sprite work for barkley but chefboyardee did compose the majority of Look Outside's music.
>>724848143How the fuck do you unlock the secret companion? I’m so confused.
>subtle "communism is actually good" from an interaction with RoachesJust couldn't resist Frankie, huh.
I did everything but Final True Ultimate Ending and Mask on Normal. I'm gonna do a Cursed run for the anime ending next. Does rat child get anything cool on cursed mode or do I sacrifice him, not keen on losing the arm if the combat's actually hard this time.
>>724849358Reminder to just name yourself Ash.
>>724849251Made me side eye when I saw it, very cringe and childishEvery time I see someone shilling communism, I think of that "I Look Nordic As Fuck. Prussian German Ethnicity" kid but fat and balding
>>724849251Anon, that's a sentient mass of cockroaches, why would you expect sane opinions from it
>>724849251Anon, they're sentient coackroaches. Of course communism looks good to them. They're literally bugs.
>>724849398I don't think the Chainsaw spawns on Cursed. If it did it would cost $800-$1500 and considering money drops are cut in half, you're not buying it.
>>724847105Dumbasses, there was already a thread. >>216135784
>>724849452>>724849595It's not Roaches talking about communism. It's Sam. The inital dialog is Roaches talking to themselves if Monarchy or Democracy is better when roaches take over the world. Sam goes "why not communism!" in which Roaches doesn't agree with until Sam, in all caps, can respond with ENOUGH or STOP ARGUING.
>>724849774 (Me)God fucking damn it. This one I mean >>724843306
>>724849775>pick meme choice>get meme reaction
>>724849830Idk I barely use this board any more, I searched the catalog for "look outside" and this one came up
>>724849962OK, I forgive you. The other thread didn't have the title in the OP so maybe it is less worthy.
>>7248491291) Kill 5 unique "boss" shadows (1 per each floor, max danger needed to spawn)2) Come to B1 staircase ALONE, search under the stairs, there should be a door (1 attempt to open, max danger level, normal or cursed difficulty, no cheats enabled)3) Traverse the maze (it loops, but only has one way to go)4) Encounter the _____ at the end5) Pick the most pathetic dialogue choices (you need to be pitied)6) Win the fight (turn 7+ starts with AoE instakill, so no fucking around)7) Enjoy your new companion
>>724850456Is it worth it? I have a save from right before the end of normal mode with everybody level 20 or so, should I bother or should I do it "legit" on a fresh save?
>>724850570Idk. It has some nice interactions. Most of the skills are meh, but you do get his OP mass instakill (better than Lyle`s) at high levels. No crazy lore revelations, though - only some schizo babble
I know the "non-human creature awkwardly tries to act and sound human" trope is not fresh at all but it makes me giggle every single time. I love that crazy nigga roaches. play dnd with him.
>>724850778He's by far the funniest companion imo
What was the point of the TTRPG? I didn't seemingly get anything out of it.
Can I just get a pic of the secret companion? This sounds like a pain in the ass to get
>>724850947The WHAT
>>724850982You can play DND
>>724848739The one behind hellride has like 3+ of them. Otherwise attack sybil in apartment 35.>>724849689It did for me. Was about 1k iirc.
>>724851013Ahh I think I looted it from Lyle's room but I sold it. Do you need to recruit Lyle?
>>724850953Here
>>724851183What in the fuck is that?
>>724850867its between him and dan, pair them with hellen because you need a straight man and it's comedy gold
>>724851107I think you do need it but I could be wrong
Mr. Boyardee also has a writing credit on this game and it's pretty obvious in hindsight. I really enjoyed the game and knowing it's the closest we're gonna get to another Tales of Game's release gives me a warm feeling. Is Katana Zero any good?
On my fifth playthrough and I finally was brave enough to kill the rat and kill the roaches because I want those cheevos. Feels bad, man.
>>724851313Your friendly neighborhood spider-brother that is destined to reap your soul. I`m dead serious
>>724850456this some mew under the truck shit
>>724851768I am convinced some of the "new" stuff is just epic bait.
>>724851962Given the anime ending and "Sybil" ending he's not above some shitposts but he did say he wanted to do something special with the shadows i just wouldn't expect it to be so roundabout.
Drowning? Just kill it dummy.
>>724852593Drowning is based on Drownoggwa, one of deities in the Chtulu universe, he cannot be killed
Anyone got a list of extended game over scenes?
>>724852423Fuck you I was actually tearing up at the goofy ass companion epilogues in that ending
>>724852803https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6PS2ptZ1QYAYeah but Sam'd win>>724852916>this nigga actually got invested into a joke game inside of a gameMassacre Princess isn't real, she'll never be your waifu
how long can you stay in the apartment?
>>724853239Not that one, the Sybil ending ones
Can someone give me some tips for a beginner because I am absolutely ASS at this game. I'm on day 5 and the only person I have recruited is the janitor, I tried playing video games but no companion is showing up, just merchants. I killed the rat baby and my friend said I lost a companion out of that and the teeth guy won't come with me because he's afraid of doctors. Do I just restart and hope I get someone on an early day?
>>724853324I'm surprised they didn't make a "route" where you spend all 15 days without leaving the apartment, that was like my first thought for a meme playthrough
>>724853518Look at the wiki for how to recruit Joel and Leigh and go from there, you can get them both on day 2 easily
>>724853482Oh that's what you meantyeah that ones funny>>724853518If you're on normal then a safe start is>Go kill eyeball>Clear vincent's apartment except for the eternal Eye in the bathroom>clear first floor hall>go to 2nd floor>make sure to equip a pool cue or cleaver and fight grinning beast>immediately go back to room where it came from to pick up a companion>explore for a little bit more, sparing any rats for now, if you can get to ground floor for papineau in this time good on you>rat baby isn't a great companion but you should still get him because my little kakera is too much of a sweetheart to get fed to some fucking wall>go to sleep>day 2 get joel from the tooth apartment TELL HIM YOU'RE HIS NEIGHBOR DO NOT LIE TO HIM you have to see his mom too to bring him over to your apartmentThen on your own from thereYou can still just play it out, figure your shit out getting a bad ending (you'll need it if you want achievements) then replay it with the new knowledge.
>>724851562What does it do. Is it actually useful or is it memey like the meteor skill
>>724853518you still can get ernest and maybe leigh plus lyle and audrey
>>724849775I mean Sam is a Canadian so being a retard still fits.
>>724853781A full-fledged companion. Dialogues, events, skill progression. Personally, I doubt it`s usefulness, as one will be able to steamroll the game by the time you get it. Pure flavor, just like with Aster. You get to peek into the lore of shadow niggas. Leaves more questions than answers, however
>>724853935If he already dropped to ground floor he definitely can't get leigh and probably can't get ernest
>>724847105Phillipe feels like a giant space ghost joke.>Comedically enslaving a former enemy to work for you and be your friend (despite the fact that openly despise you)>The whole original phillippe interwction where he basically has a brain aneurysm because you are so fucking stupid and delusional is straight out of the episode Chambraigne.
>>724847105What the hell are these?
>>724849251>communism is the ideology of literal bugmenHmm.
>>724856076Not yet implemented, clearly
>>724856076Apparently some of them are the cursed ritual astronomers. I know one broken achievement is killing Sybil in the meat world.
>>724854098That is actually a fantastic point. Ignoring the fact that he is a fucking leaf (which is a massive handicap on its own) I am pretty sure Sam is repeatedly shown to be a fucking retard.
>>724856076Dev intentionally obfuscated some files not to spoil stuff. Hell, even the cheat mode was axed (with one easily correctable variable, but still). Expect it to be "fixed" in a week or so
>>724855675is ernest behind a timelimit or something
>>724856945After you first talk to him, yeah. Once you meet him and recruit him you have to show up a day later to save him from rat hell or else he's dead.
>>724856945>>724856984Yeah. The trigger for Rat Hell is reaching the ground floor. If you want Ernest, make sure you reach him without a full party and before killing the rat king. Have him join you as a temporary recruit then go back to his room the next day (after reaching the bottom floor)
>>724856984>>724857329You don't even have to recruit him to start the Rat Hell timer, it just happens the day after you meet him.
>>724857475But you do have to temporarily recruit him before rat hell happens or he is just gone
>>724857537Nope. I didn't recruit him at all, and he joined up after I beat Rat Hell.
The industry is so fucked and a wasteland of shit that this rpgmaker game is actually easily one of the best games to come out this year. I haven’t played Expedition 33 so I assume thats the actual best game of the year. Still, this game is remarkable good.
>>724857565First run back on 1.7 I did he wouldn’t join me because I had too many party members. When I came back a day later he was gone and so was his pet rat
>>724857630I mean, to be fair, RPG Maker is fine when used like this. Don't use any stock assets and your game is automatically guaranteed to be 5000% better.
Is the reward for feeding the wall any good?
>>724858085If you really want to use two-handed guns/melee I guess?
>>724858085depends, how much do you use both guns and melee?
>>724858165>>724858231Alright I won't be feeding this evil ass fucker I suppose
>>724858268Good, tell us the name of your rat child
>>724858349Manuel
>>724858085you get another worthless freeloader bumming in your crib
>>724847105>look outside threadthanks sar I'll do that
>>724858268>>724858085You get a new party memberbut if you are aiming at getting Aster or a quick papineau, then you might want to just kill the rat child, its not that good or at least it wasnt before 2.0 I killed it in my recent replay but now im gonna keep it and try other party members
what are the stats for the spider? stacking HP seems useless if it can use beckon
What actually is the point of all the vents that were added?
>>724858802apparently it has something to do with nestor? i didn't send him to die in my run so i don't know exactly what they do
>kill eugene>enter his apartment>its dark, lots of mannequins>secret door>omg i was right in killing him, i bet it was a copy and now im saving the real eugene>it isnt>he not only was real, but also a REALLY REALLY good person as well to make you feel bad>all the manequins is because he likes sewingkek that was a good bait n switch ngl
>>724858747>its not that good or at least it wasnt before 2.0 It can grow up now and gets a big stat boost
>>724858747Rat Child doesn’t count as a party member until he grows up so it doesn’t count against you for Janny or Aster.Also, Aster is interesting, but not someone you should rely on considering he can’t join you for the final boss.
>>724859009He apparently will also sew up Joel’s teddy bear after the rat child destroys it.
>>724858801Rush it. Unlike other shadows, it lacks the usual damage reductions. It`s hp is also low, being a meager 400. As for Beckon - that was shit luck (it has a low KO chance, ~30%). For me it kept casting usual debuffs/damage skills
is there a reason you can't attack the child characters?off the top of my head the only kids you can attack are the teeth children and even then the baby doesn't really die
>>724859175beckon has fucked me over more than thrice on the first turn it's such a RNGshitfest, i didn't knew it lacked the usual resists shadows do actually, that changes everything
>>724859305Here`s some raw data, if it helps
>>724859536Fuck, wrong pic
>>724851562???
>>724854323So what is the story with them? Sybil talks about them in her notes but just makes vague nonsense about “it must be a form of communication from the visitor!”
>>724859287Frankie is too squeamish to implement the killing of children unprovoked is the easiest answer I can think of.
>>724859287Why would you want to attack them? I think the only reasonable advantage that'd give you is the shock value and you can attack joel and his siblings plus feeding the rat baby to the wall, that pretty much covers it.
>>724860392I`ll be back with a compilation of it`s dialogue. I might be retarded, but everything I`ve seen so far is painfully vague as well
>>724860631To be fair, I think there are a few characters you can kill for no reason and no reward, like some of the people who show up at the door.
https://www.nexusmods.com/lookoutside/mods/40Based
>>724860631The same reason I'd want to kill Eugene and Papineau
>>724860941Being fat fucks?
I really like Wilhelmina, despite the silliness of the premise, an ancient evil making use of an unrelated apocalypse to awaken and rule the world is pretty kino.
>>724860858I clicked on this half-expecting it to be a "make female characters hot" mod or something.
>>724861057But does she exist or is it just more cognition and observation from the visitor shenanigans? Her game cartridge is explicitly weird and thought to be a bootleg.
>>724861159Aster with giant tits mod
>>724861159Pretty sure that would be impossible with the art style
Anybody know where the four alternate offerings for the Masked Shadow are? I've found two so far>north end of the wraithscourge room can be blown up for one>playing the unlabeled cartridge in spine's roomWhere's the other two though
>>724851445>RatNeeded to be old yellered, I knew it the second I saw it>RoachesThey're fucking cockroaches, no pity no quarter
>>724861324Play the elevator game (cant remember the order, I remember 2 is the final floor before you unlock the fourth floor button) and you get a tape.You also need to give the rose to the gay giant worm in the garage so he will fuck off to give it to his boyfriend. You must also do this before day 5 because you need to access the area he occupied before the earthquake hits.
>>724861478Oh damn I'm locked out of the rose part unfortunately, playing cursed mode so it took me like 8 days to get through the basementThanks though anon. Does anyone know the actual elevator game order? The only parts I know are (I'm presuming, based on what the thing said before I killed it) basement -> floor 3 -> basement.
do the bathroom stalls give all the clues to Sybil organs? ive only entered meat world through the alternate apartment, the cursed cartridge and the TV in the first apartment you enter.
>>724849251I didn't get that at all from the interaction. In fact, the roaches both make good points for feudalism and democracy. I think it was just a joke.
>>724859584WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK
>>724861773Congrats, Anon. I was a wuss and killed it with modded stats to speedrun the discovery
>>724861893i found out the strat is to ATTEMPT to outspeed with equipment and pray to god the explosives stun it long enough, even while stunned/paralyzed it can still use the pain skill that deals around 100dmg with the teeth pendant at least, elixirs and tonics are a must since this is a solo too but thanks anon, this shit took me all afternoon/night + this morning for a bit
Phillippe
>>724861562I think its each floor (ground through 3) once but the order is weird. I know it ends with 2. So something like (it’s probably not this) G,3,1,2.Then again for some reason
>>724861986Good stuff. Try out it`s kit. Most of it is unresistable shadow damage type and crappy debuffs. The real deal is Oblivion at lvl 18 - AoE instakill, `nuff said
>>724862346https://youtu.be/F5x_IsqT3qQ
>>724862346My best friend!! I love him :)
IS the XP earned split between party members or it is a static XP amount earned?Example: two parties only Sam, or Sam + Leigh and i earn 30 XPis itParty 1: Sam 30 xp and party 2: Sam 15 leigh 15or Party 1: Sam 30 xp and party 2: Sam 30 leigh 30
>>724859287because ratings boards and storefronts have a meltdown
where is the worm that wants worm eggs? I assume one of the ventilation grates in f1?
does that pizza bites cheat disable achievements? Just as a backup because I'm afraid of bricking my first playthrough if I play too bad and use up all healing
>>724863774That nerd shows up a few days later at the original spot if you don't kill the body.
:D
Is Roaches quest currently bugged? I thought it you don't resolve their conflict by being King/Prime Minister they stay separated?
i just think the monsters are cute but having to endure rpgmaker combat is such a bore i can't play this. Yes i could obviously play on easy mode but that also hurts my ego too much what do i do
>>724865602i dunno watch a playthrough or something
>>724864402and uhhh whats the original spot? the one where the two lovebirds met you mean?
>>724866992Yes
>>724866992Yes, in the pipe room.
>>724865317>>724867169is there a reason that spine can't just leave?
>>724859287At least killing the teeth children can be spun as a mercy, considering what happens if you leave them alone too long...
>>724867720Yes, she repeatedly says that the light is too bright. What that means exactly is up for interpretation, but she's stuck in meat world. I imagine she just burns away like a vampire or something.This is of course unless you played the game during a single bugged patch where Frankie added a new exit but forgot to remove her from your party. In that universe she can just leave.
>>724847105whos the secret companion and how do you unlock it, i dont care about spoilers, tell me
>>724868902read the thread bro, theres straight up instructions on how to recruit him
>Aster skill, Fire Safety. Halves fire damage and grants immunity to Burn status. The duration of this status depends on how willing a given party member is to follow fire safety rules.>Fire Safety lasts for 6-8 turns on the following party members:>Sam>Lyle>Aster>Joel>Hellen>Roaches>Ernest>Papineau>Morton>The Rat Child>Audrey>Fire Safety lasts for 3-4 turns on the following party members:>Leigh>Dan>Sophie>Monty>Xaria>The Spider>PhillippeSOVL
>>724869689why won't phillippe follow fire safety guidelines? is it the moth thing? that's racist you know
>>724867873Joel noooooo
>>724869689>Sophie going max hardcore on the Dennis buildrespect
How were you supposed to find out some of these secrets? Shit is insane
>>724869689thats just fucking amazing. this game, man
>>724870195games used to not give a shit about your completionism addiction and put whatever they wanted in there, even if you'd never find it in 20 years
>>724870195its a forced engagement scheme where really only data miners can find anything and they gibber about to keep threads bumped.
>>724862346My buddy!
i know that if you have more than 1 party member you need the janitor's keys to get papineau but are you perma locked out of getting aster if you ever recruit more than 2?
>>724870462Yes but dont worry about aster too much, hes not that goodits like an AOE sophie that requires too much work to get anyway
what is the gameplay like? do you grind?
>>724870195Pure luck, dedication, or...you simply weren't "supposed" to. From the outset this was never a game where you're expected to experience everything in one, or even several (blind) playthroughs. It makes discussing it fun because everyone has such wildly different experiences.
>>724870713Most enemies are one time encounters so no
>>724869689Frankie abandoned these threads once the game took off but just in case he's lurking I'll say this. You're a real nigga Mr. Videogame Man. If this was just your side project I cannot wait for Malison.
>>724870713No grindingthe game is less about lvls and more about items/weapons you use
>>724870286that was to sell "strategy guides"
>>724870713regular old RPG of competent design, you can't really grind so the game has some structure
>>724870713>>724870757i think the only enemies you can grind on are shadows and now meat world organs since they're the only ones that respawn?
>>724870462I don't know if it just bugged for me or if people are spreading misinfo, but I had recruited Papineau, Leigh, Ernest, and Joel when I got Aster to join me. All I did was talk to all the astronomers.
>>724870762I am legitimately excited for Malison if Look Outside is any indication of the style and quality going into it
>just got Monty and Xaria at the door at the start of day 2 on a fresh cursed runMY FUARKING SAVIORS!!!
>>724870762I forget which line it was, probably one of Dan's, but I remember reading someone say something that looked like it was plucked right out of a /v/irgin's mouth
>>724870847It wouldn't work for me no matter what I did in my first cursed playthrough. I made sure I did all dialogue with all astronomers and they wouldn't give me the key to Sybil's and Aster wouldn't join me. On my second playthrough, Aster DID join me when I reached him with only Leigh and Rat kid, so I dunno what was making it not happen in the first one.
Don't read this. I'm serious, don't read this. We are all visitor matter. Knowing this will cause us to return to the source, if one of you read this, humanity is doomed
>>724871137*when I went back to him after talking to all the astronomers, sorry for the poor wording there.
is Dan actually any good? i don't really want to have to manage his viewcount but the only other healing skills i have are the ant heal and the trauma kit from mutt
>>724847105companion?what is this, nortubel?
>>724869869>racist>when Roaches and Morton are perfectly able to follow those rulesThere are good bugs and bad bugs. Maybe Philippe could learn a thing or two from Mr. Morton and Mr. Roaches, but I guess blaming the humans is easier than just adapting
>>724871176I think after seeing all the endings the actual, real implication is a lot more terrifying, which is we're not Visitor cells, but worse, we're beings that can collapse waveforms with observation, and in the presence of the Visitor EVERYTHING becomes an uncertain waveform, and the right observations can collapse it into completely new realities. If you can convince yourself and the Visitor that you're made of its cells, then yes, you are now retroactively made of its cells. In the same breath, you can make anime so real it actually kills the Visitor. The horror comes from knowing that any reality could become dominant.
>>724871176joke's on you, I always wanted to become a car mutant
why even give audrey the skill that restores stamina if it only gives 6 per use and costs 30? she doesn't even get full stam restore from energy drinks so it's not like it's even efficient for turning high stamina drinks into smaller party recovery either
>>724871125>Typical Eurojank. Riddled with bugs and plagued by egregious censorship.
>>724871125I don't think Frankie uses 4chan at all, but most of the character dialogue was written by Eric, AKA cboyardee, which I could see.>>724871231I don't know if Frankie nerfed it, but Blind Fury is busted because it's extremely cheap and scales with attacks. So you can start doing 300+ damage each turn and the blindness is easily negated the first time the Curio merchant shows up.>>724871264His ending card implies he gets over it eventually I guess.
>>724871491the term 'eurojank' gave it away immediately and brought a smile to my face, I could immediately hear Dan screaming as he fails his 5th livestreamed attempt to ironman Stalker Gamma
>>724871358>we're beings that can collapse waveforms with observationsame way we change quantic particles behavior when we observe it
>>724871358This
>>724871514i have 6 days left and i've never seen a curio merchant. just gun guy, food guy, chef, nurse, and food guy again
How the fuck am I supposed to beat spider? He insta kills me in the first turn.
>>724854098>>724856223He's a fat nerd that sits around his apartment all day and wouldn't have noticed what's happening anyway. Probably spends all day on reddit.Yes, Look Outside is a YIIK-like.
The funniest part about the anime ending is the fact a meteor would be nothing to it, it's the size of millions of meteors, the idea of it getting hit by a tiny little speck and collasping in agony is hilarious
Does the anime ending require you to be playing on Cursed? I get instakilled before the supposed special prompt when playing on Normal.
>>724872510it's a great joke about how dangerous a hyper-anime becoming reality would be, since it includes hard rules for tiny germs slaying universe-sized giants
>>724872808You can claim to be a reality altering god but the second power of friendship comes into it, you are fucked
>>724869689I knew there was some Order vs Chaos shit going on among the companions
>>724872983which is the amazing joke and the exact trap the Visitor walked into; being a giant super-god automatically makes you weak to anime nonsense, so the moment anime was allowed to become reality he was doomed like all jRPG bosses are doomedit's a joke ending but it's also conceptually terrifying
>>724847105Why is everyone brown in this? It looks like a cool game but I have such brown people fatigue.
>>724873264>Why is everyone brown in this?because god hates you and wants you to kill yourself, chatbot-kun
>>724869689>Aster is a guaranteed win against the Furnace Super Boss on cursed modeNow I understand why he is so hard to obtain
>>724871514>I don't think Frankie uses 4chan He did post here a couple times, especially addressing bugs iirc
>>724873348No one can ever give me a straight answer on why everyone is brown. Is the dev one of those brown people lovers?
>>724861169She's such an out of place thing that it's hard to say. She doesn't seem to be a former resident who was transformed and seemingly no NPC has any form of connection to her, nor does it make any sense for a random safe in Montreal to lead to that. If you want to attribute some actual logic to it instead of thinking of it as just a joke, then the only explanation I can think of is that she's an ancient evil whose magics can create crosswords and crossword related products to find a suitable person to open her seal, and that the only reason the safe led to her tomb is because the digits at the end of the crossword transformed the safe into a portal to her tomb, rather than it always being that. I think it's funnier if the only connection that the Visitor had with her was creating the conditions that would actually make someone go through an entire crossword book.
>>724873528You'll have to kill yourself to find out, chatbot-kun.
>>724873264Attention is never drawn to it so I don't care; game is stylized enough that I just thought everyone was grimy to fit in with the aesthetic. From what I heard on dev's streams, not much thought was put into it. One of the characters is literally blue because the dev thought it'd be amusing.
>>724870195Anon, the game locks like half the party members in the game behind RNG or timed encounters, you really think you're supposed to be able to just figure shit out?
>>724871358so in retard terms, the visitor emits a 40k warp fieldyou know, considering severe schizophrenics, psychotics and deluded narcissists, the cursed have really tamed designs
>Just died to the first enemy in cursedFUAARK, its going to be one of those modes huh?
>>724873264
>>724873931It's really tough at the start until you start picking up good items. I recommend chilling for a few days at home to pray for good door encounters while gaining videogame skills. If you are downed use White Fred to revive and cooking is massively buffed in hard mode. Go for Roaches early if you can, they're strong.
>>724873627The best answer I'll probably get. Still won't play a brown people game, thank you for your honest answer.>>724874046>>724873627Kill yourself, retard faggots.
>>724873931This ain't your grandpa's Look Outside. Vincent's apartment is open so you can try nabbing stuff from there, and you also have the option of playing video games for XP. Struggle and find a way forward.
>>724874216Uh oh, better slow down chatbot-kun. You're getting really sloppy. Can't even speak straight.
How the fuck am I supposed to beat spider?
>>724862346I love you Phillippe :) :) :)
>>724874372Have you tried moving first and using syringes?
>>724873528They’re colored like sesame street muppets. There are blacks like sophie but sam for example is some sort of unnatural orange and papineau is fucking blue, explicitly blue in dialogue m
Realistically, what's the survival plan for a visitor scenario if you live in a normal house? Pray that a friend of yours who you can call got a lucky mutation and can bring you food?
>>724872206stack hp% equipment like patchwork and rings, be faster than it (20 iirc), have stuns like explosives and high damaging weapons since the spider doesn't have the usual shadow resistances and more importantly, luck
>>724874956Door Dash, bro.Just have your delivery mutant pass pizza slices through the mailbox.
>>724874956Cut the internet off and hope for goodness sake whatever happens outside stays outside
>trying to get the true final ending>get to the part where I have to attack the Visitor and use Meteor Strike>Massacre Princess characters have no skills and get killed before they can do anything then I get oneshotIs this an issue for anyone else? I thought the fight was supposed to actually be possibleAlso the first time I died to the Visitor I didn't get the Annihilated achievement so it probably is actually bugged
Dan continues to be the best, too bad I only got him near the very end thanks to RNG so I'm sure I've missed a ton of his interactions.I wish his info skill had some special dialogue against certain bosses though, you'd think viewers or Dan himself might have special dialogue for the final boss or his mom but that's just the way it goes I guess.
How the fuck does the final ritual work if you got Aster as a party member
>>724875509I can't even get the Massacre Princess characters or anything to show up, I try to fight the Visitor and he just kills me after a few turns. I didn't get the Annihilated achievement either so yeah, I'm assuming shit's bugged right now.
>Cuphead>Balatro >Look OutsideWhy the fuck is Canada on such a heater with small Indie games?
>>724873627Why would you reply to that guy? He's been saying the same shit since March. At this point I'd expect him to realize that the anons that post in this thread do not give a fuck about that.
>>724876112He leaves after a point
>>724875830Dan is the funniest party member. I loved him on my first playthrough back when the game released. Sadly I havent had the chance to recruit him again after that.
>”This is the last moment of history, I think.”Good lord that’s a terrifying sentence.
>>724875830So is Audrey vending machine that come to life, or a human who was forcefully turned into a vending machine, and is taking it pretty well all things considered.
Is there any special dialogue if you kill Sybil and then do the Perfect Ritual? I assume you can't get the Promise ending anymore.
>>724876590She tells you that she was a human before. Another fun fact, whenever someone puts a coin in her, she can taste the coin, which she really doesn't like.
>>724876590Audrey is human, she mentions knowing some of the people in the building iirc
>>724876809So like, do you have to restock her cans or how does that work
>>724876905Her recruitment side quest revolves around that, actually. You can also lock yourself out of being able to recruit her if you accidentally use up all her cans before getting the trigger to start the sidequest.
>>724877147Is that because she uses cans to talk? That’s actually kinda funny
>>724877220Exactly. She also has a unique mechanic where she can mostly only equip armor specific to her, with 2 of those armor slots (Head & Feet) being exclusive to a single shopkeeper, and the other (Body) only dropping if you fight specific bosses with her in your party. As you'd expect from a walking vending machine she's pretty weird overall.
>>724876502It became true the moment the Visitor came to Earth. Everybody under his influence gained cursed reality warping abilities.
>Died again in the cursed mode tooth appartFUCK FUCK FUCK, first i got ganked by the tooth fairy and now my fucking golf club didn't OHKO like before
How the fuck do I beat spider? Even with 320 hp I keep getting annihilated.
>>724876607Don't think so, they all assume she's dead so nothing changes.
>>724878382Sure, but technically you should be able to tell them that you talked to her since that's how it opened normally. Also a mostly unrelated thought, what's with the husk that moves one room over after you give it the telescope? Is that tied to anything or is it just one of those weird choices that Frankie made for seemingly no reason?
i still can't believe every single fucking fight in the sewers gives you plumbing tools and they STILL don't do anythingwhat was he thinking
>>724878831>what was he thinkingCLEAN YOUR BATHROOM YOU SLOB
>>724878831Plumbing tools make good weapons? There should have been a Roto-rooter drain snake in the sewers that can be used to remove pipe girl
>>724873402What scene does this sprite for Sam play in? Has anyone got it?
>>724878831i thought it was gonna be a sidequest with the plumber dude in the basement
>>724878297If you're willing to wait, trying to get the Rapier from the sports trader really helps with that apartment. The daggers might too, since I think the also have the x4 attack skill.
>>724879186I think it was specifically made for the 1st trailer
>>724879421It's ok i bought a scapel. Not that it will help, on a scale of 1-10 how fucked am i?
Alright, this is my first time playing the game since the 1.0. I'm in cursed mode, managed to get to the garage, but since I had no rose the centipide guy left in the next day. I have unlocked the elevator, beat the drowned apartment and all my characters are at lvl 19 with 7 days left. Which new ending can I try to go after?And how do I access this bunch of stuff with Sybil, I've read you can enter her apartment, but how? The only thing I've managed to do was to roam around the meat world for a bit.
>>724879576Nigga, why the fuck you are using Sam alone? At least go grab Leigh, you just use the pool cue with impale and she's pretty much free.
is the drowned apartment cursed mode only? i see a bunch of achievements for it but i can't find it anywhere
>>724879761I was trying to speedrun recruiting Joel, also i don't know who that is
How do I remove the filthy ring
>>724879658I forget the exact chain but I think you have to ask the F1 astronomer about who found the Visitor, then ask Jasper about whether he found it, then ask Beryl about the Founder, then go back to Jasper and exhaust those options until you get a key.
>>724873264Some people are also blue
>>724879862Second floor, after unlocking the elevator>>724879950You cannot, it's cursed
>>724879576depends on how "gentle" you are when removing heads.
>>724879950it's too late for you…
>>724879997oh god damn it i forgot that leigh vomited all over the second floor and blocked stuff off i haven't gone in there at all
>>724879902>i don't know who that is>he doesn't try to beat early game bosses that the game tells you to run fromCoward.
I'm glad my wife got so many new things to equip
>>724880274They're scary :(
>>724876828Yes, if you interact with the corpse in the B1 stairs, she says "Oh my God, I think this was my neighbor Kurt", and she mentions playing Mazes & Wizards with college friends.
>beat Summer>thought I'd get some sort of acknowledgement for totally cleaning her apartment>nothing>not even an reward for beating the boss>totally pointless boss fight if you aren't going for UnityI'm a little annoyed.
>>724880532unrelated but I think there's a profound black comedy you could make with the premise of "loser streamer makes it big because he livestreams the epicenter of the apocalypse"
>>724880532kek>>724880309she cute
>>724862519PLS RESPOND
>>724873186I know it's a bit of a silly ending, but it totally fits into the plot's existing framework as an explanation for why everyone, even the uninfected, suddenly have superpowers or gain them upon equipping otherwise normal items. That ending is just taking it a step further.
>>724880708if Hollywood had a brain they would make up to 4 or 5 Look Outside spin-off movies every year. It'd be a treat for all of us Frankieheads out there and Oscar would reward it I'm sure
>>724880708That also means he can stream anything he wants on Twitch, even people being eviscerated by hydra heads, because there's no moderation
>>724880921no no the joke you'd run with that is that there's no HUMAN mods left, just AI ones, and the AI mods get tripped by weird inconsequential shit while ignoring that children are mutating and being blown apart by shotguns
>>724852593https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IinraxTyw2U>Roaches PoV after Sam realizes that a gas mask and a scuba mask aren't actually the same thing
I bought this game yesterday on a whim and then realized I bought the FOTM meme game everyone was posting on /v/.
My OC would be something like Popalong Cassidy from the book The Drive In by Joe Lansdale. CCTV man is similar I guess but we have a million bug mutants so two TV mutants would be ok
>>724881089Being a TV-head would be funny but with my luck the Visitor would pull a Videodrome on me.
Is Aster a good party member?
>Live in a basement with no windows to the outside>Still get turned into a monster because bugs from the outside come in and bite you
>>724881501You tell me.
>>724881642What a fucking NERD
>>724879862The only content exclusive to cursed mode is changes to boss fights/enemies. You can still explore all the same areas.
>the Words of Power ending is just Sam getting an evil gilf wife
>>724881642this feels like a skillset for what lyle was like before he turned into a camera monster
>>724881561how many people lived in there anyways. in cursed mode there's the mother, a man, and then the technician guy has 3 extra kids.
how long does it even take to do the crossword puzzles without morton? he showed up in cursed form and i had to kill him
>>724881358At least you could have a cool gimmick game over screen similar to the hell car
>>724881642>the wrong side of history
>>724881895Like three or four days. If you're looking for the code it's unique to the save file so you can just reload. You can even go past 15 days because the ending only triggers when you touch the door.
>>724881874supposedly the staff of the apartment and their families, also literal basement dwellers like antoine that are PROBABLY related to henderson>>7248818953 days but after buying and completing the crossword games at mutt's counter shop, without it i'd say 4 or 5 days give or take, you will get interruped a lot by people knocking on your door
Since it's been a little while now, what are the thoughts on Cursed mode?I'm trying to decide if I want to play normal (the new hard apparently?) or cursed mode since I already beat the game with the best ending on 1.0's hard mode some months ago.
>>724881895Do yourself a favor and beat the crossword video game that Mutt sells first, it significantly speeds up your progress.
>>724882215>>724882168i don't have any moneyi spent it all on buying cool upgrades for my vending machine friendand keys from the key child(only to get the lockpicks a day later)
>>724882286You can sell stuff to Mutt if you need money, surely you have some useless armor or treasures.
Thoughts on my party?
>>724882442Level Phillippe up for all his busted skills.
>>724882442possibly the most schizo one there isand that's saying something
>>724881501S Tier:Roaches (Split)A Tier:SamLylePhillipeRoachesAudreyPapineauB Tier:JoelLeighHellenErnestDanC Tier:AsterMontyXariaSophieRat ChildMortonD Tier:Phillipe (Moth)SpineI haven't used Spider
>>724882442I almost wish you could have everyone at once with you, it's funny to imagine the chubby bastard stumbling down the hall with 15 nightmare people following behind him
>>724882186It's reasonably challenging, if you know the basic mechanics you'll probably find it manageable. Realistically you just need to know where to get free revives and how to pick up recruits.
>>724882186The start is harder, but once you have a full team it's not too much more difficult. I still think it's worth it because the new phases/monsters keep things interesting.
>>724882526what the fuck are you doing putting papineau above joel for, the guy's only purpose is being a tank and sharing his lunch and he's not even good at taking hits
>>724882442Not as good as mine
>>724882186in my opinion it's ballbusting hard at the start since you have no companions and the ones you could rush like joel or papineau now require items to recruit, after you get a few party members it gets manageable but sometimes you get thrown into a curveball of difficulty in some fights, the new content is mostly new enemies/bosses but that's what we know so far, i'd say it's entertaining with the difficulty alone and feels fresh/different from your usual playthrough>>724882442i have the same exact one lol, made me bootup to show it
>>724882526Papineau too high, Audrey too high, Dan too low, Morton too low(he's good if you can somehow actually get him).
>>724882659>>724882639>>724882565Alright, I'll dive in then. Thanks everyone. Loved this game, I'm really surprised by how much new shit the dev seems to have added.
ive spoiled myself on basically all of this game by simply browsing /v/ and seeing threads on the front pageis it worth playing if you know all the twists and shit
>>724882834i'm in a similar position and i've been having fun with it
>>724882526Leigh with ring is better than papienauand honestly papineau is good early but he lacks proper skills later
>>724882764frankie has been at a semi-daily grind shown on streams and keeps pumping out content, right now he's even polishing the new major area from the 2.0 release, it's starting to get concerning since he's been at it since launch
>>724882949it's just practice to keep himself in Malison form, that game is going to break people with content
>>724882186If you get lucky and get XM/Hellen and then switch to XM and double roach asap it's very easy. It's a fun mode and worth it if you know the game, the extra phases are kino
>>724882949I have no clue how he managed it, he was working insane hours the days leading up to the release last Tuesday release. Part of me wonders if Frankie is just addicted to the grind seeing as he's done dozens of game jams and pulled the same stunt for Look Outside 1.0's release.
>Cursed modeI’m not having fun
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EIxoNYJjoWg>MFW walking out of the Stargazer apartment and appearing in the meat world
Do you need to do the crossword video game to get the crossword pass code?
>>724883759No. Just save, sit in one place and waste time until the crossword is done, and write the code down. Now reload. That's your code for this playthrough, it's generated at the start and doesn't change.
How exactly do you recruit spine?
>>724883850Surely that code can be found by cracking open the savefile and looking at the variables...
>>724883850Ok, wasn't sure if the video game was connected to getting the code at all
What exactly changes with cursed mode? Is it even worth playing over normal mode?
>>724883965temporary party member once you domestically abuse her into sanity and blow up the entrance to go out to explore the meat dimension, iirc
>>724884002Everything breaks quicker, enemies have different patterns, some party members like Joel cost resources, enemies can kick your ass hard
>>724882186Everyone takes Cursed mode way out of porportion because of how hard the infected neighbor is with just a level 1 Sam and baseball bat. There's a reason Vincent's apartment is open from the start. Get all the items, use the key on the door left of Vincent, get the machete and clogs then fight the neighbor.After that it feels more like a standard hard mode. Additional enemies every fight, slightly higher stats, and reduced loot. The most annoying thing is that weapons break A LOT faster. A claymore lasted 7 regular swings before breaking completely.However you get a ton of exp. I finished the game with Sam at level 21. Scream was doing 90 AoE damage for 6 STM with only electric enemies resisting it. Roaches is still completely broken.
>>724883965Just enter meat world through her door alone with around five Spine friendship points (from talking to her and not shooing her away at night). She'll protest to you going out there alone and ask to come along. Afterwards she'll wait for you at any entrance provided you go alone. There was a single bugged update that let you you could smuggle her out, but it was patched before most everyone in the community figured it out.
>>724882949>beat two versions of the Look Outside demo>saw people say that he was going to update the game after the release to add some missing content>decide to hold off on buying it so I can play the complete version of it instead of playing through a half finished version a third time>a year passes and the Final Vision update releases>pick it up because it's called "Final", surely that's the end of the updates>he's still working on itI'm a tiny bit annoyed, but you've gotta love the guy for continuing to work on it.I remember seeing people bitch about there not being any radio spots in the old version, and as far as I can tell they were barely a thing in this version.
>>724884252iirc there's exactly one radio spot outside of the test one the scout sets upand none of the 'buried treasure' pings from the metal detector, i felt like an idiot equipping that thing every time i went somewhere new
>>724884461I think I found one buried treasure in the warzone, but that's it. I didn't even consider trying it out elsewhere, thank you for your service though.
>>724853482>Dan is almost literally DSP; he is shocked when he got banned for live streaming the visitor on twitchWOW….
>>724881642kek what a nerd
>>724884173>use the key on the door left of Vincent, get the machete and clogs then fight the neighbor.Yeah, just avoid the 3 mobs in that room who'll drag you into a group fight and kill you in 2 turns, easy.
>>724884252I think there are still just the two radio spots. It's honestly incredible how much work he's putting into Look Outside, especially since even though it's a buggy RPG maker game, it's still more than solid for something worth $10 when not on sale.However, I'd say there's no point to doing a version 3.0. At this point, all I'd want to see are all the bugs fixed, a purpose to the prisoner and human centipede room, a map of which apartment everyone lived in, and playable Pierre. Extra apartments when the timer is already a bit strict with all the current content may be a bit much.
>>724873931Normal requires some basic bitch 30% system mastery, knowing a bit, picking your battles and using the right skills/items is enough to allow you to breeze through. Playing better and knowing your shit makes normal a joke.Cursed requires 85-90% system mastery to beat. That shit IS hard.
Ok guys I need cursed mode advice. I’m on floor 1, Joel cost money, I ran away from the big beast that unlocks Leigh, am I really stuck with the homeless man and the rat kid?
>>724884173How exactly do you avoid enemies who will kill the fuck the out of you
I appreciate that we got a bunch of Sybil content explaining who she is and all that, but why did she move into the apartment beside us and then break a hole in our wall to peep on us?
>>724882949Semper games...
>>724884857There's no content additions planned, but I know Frankie's going to do a bit of polish. Mostly just balancing and bug fixes. The prisoner room is just supposed to be a secret Lumpytouch homage and it gives you a fun item.>>724884978You should be able to get roaches in 3-4 days if you start leaving food out now, they are very strong. Audrey will cost you about $200 dollars or so, and if you're lucky you can get Dan, Hellen, or X&M from a door event.
I got the roach in Jean apartment so whats the fastest way to get roaches? every day i should leave food or not?
>>724885073Sam attracts stalkers like honey to flies
Is there a fucking PERMANENT debuff now? I fought that shade on the secret 4th floor and one of its attacks put a depressed face on him that didn't disappeared even after a day passed.
>>724885263Leave food out at night everyday, you don't even need to sleep after doing so, just make sure there's something on the table before 4 AM (in-game early morning)
>>724884849>>724884995I had enough danger to make one save before the room, then took me about three tries to get the items without getting caught by the murder eyeballs.
>>724885374bro those debuffs have been in the game forever, play some video games to get your mood back up
>>724885137Thanks. I never got all the party members naturally and a part of me doesn’t want to look them up but this mode is too brutal with 1 party member
>>724884849>>724885379those enemies confuse meare they roommates of vincent and that's why they're different from the onlookers/partygoers?
>>724885379I actually managed to pull off the RPGMaker enemy dance and do it right after I bitched at you about that. I held onto my danger for a save after managing that though, so I wouldn't have to try it again.
>>724884090Are there any ending exclusive to it? It kind of seems like a pain in the ass
What are you supposed to do in the human centipede room in the basement? I can't figure out what to do there.
>>724885610No unique ending, it's just something for seasoned players>>724885630It's just a random creepy thing.
>>724885630nothing, apparently. it's just there to be creepy.still kind of a waste, like how many people lived in this fucking apartment anyway?
>>724885610Yes there’s an ending involving the mask guy, some battles are also drastically different so the novelty of some of the fights is worth.
>>724847105I don't think I can be bothered redoing a game I've already done 5 times by now just to see oh wow, this boss has a more annoying extra phase now. Oh wow, this area is more tedious to go through now. Look at that, the best weapons suffered "balance". Spamming the vidya thing for XP and new skills, AGAIN.What's the biggest value proposition in this update? Apparently gender swapped Sam! Coulombe can go eat a diarrhea poutine.
>>724885720From the stream I watched it being made, it's actually one guy whose curse is being stretched out into numerous
>>724885775i got the mask ending and its associated achievement on survivor THOUGH
>>724882526>PapineauNot anymore. He's just mid in lategame and not nearly as good in early game anymore. He's B now.>HellenStill solid A all around, useful early AND late due to economical weapon usage with stalk.>Monty/XariaB tier, they're still super goated if you get lucky on the first/second day and only fall off late due to Monty being uneconomical action wise with the brews.>AsterGreat support and a free win against a superboss with great loot, but his requirements are ass... C seems right but if you get the mod that doesn't require the basement astrologer meeting he's B since he becomes very easy to recruit.>MortonI'd genuinely put him into D.He's not nearly useful enough since the 15 junk requirement + being lucky enough to actually meet him means you get him mid/lategame and your actual teammembers by then are irreplacably strong at that point.
Let's say Frankie and Devolver have decided to expand on the Look Outside universe and want to have a couple spin-offs games made by other people. They can be another rpg maker game, a 2d platformer, a visual novel, whatever. They ask (you) for a pitch. What is it? Only rule is they have to follow the established canon and if you want to make it a post-visitor game it has to take Denial or Promise as canon
How fucked is cursed mode on the first playthrough? I like very hard JRPGs but does it really expect me to know all the bullshit in the game?
>>724885782Why did you beat the game five times if you hate it so much?
>>724885961It’s not for first playthroughs, it’ll ass rape you and leave you with a bad first impression
>>724885961Do not play cursed mode your first blind playthrough. The majority of the difficulty is knowing how to get recruits and efficiently move through the apartment, which you won't know unless you're looking at a guide.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC5SmaZNpBc
>>724885961You get raped until you get a party member and the ones who used to be easy to recruit, now have some bullshit requirement
>>724883982You can. but also the weapon is shit without crosswording, since it scales off your crossword skills.
IS THE EXP SPLIT BETWEEN PARTY MEMBERS OR YOU GET THE SAME NUMBER ON EACH PARTY MEMBERIS IT BETTER IF I HAVE MORE PARTY MEMBERS WHEN FIGHTING OR THE EXP IS THE SAME
>>724847105>Spoilers on OPBro...
>>724885073Smelly neet gamer musk is irresistible to menhera pussy. Leigh, Sophie, Hellen, Lyle, Sybil, Spine... what a fantastic harem.
>>724886234bro have you ever fucking played an rpg beforeeverybody gets the same xp
>>724886121>Get caught in a feedback loop of getting killed in the tooth apartment trying to get all items and avoid tooth fairy>OH BTW JOEL COSTS 7 TOOTHPASTEfuck off
>>724886328wait a minute, isn't lyle a guy?and sophie is like seven?
>>724886349GOD YOU ARE SO STUPID, READ >>724862519
>>724885961Action economy is drastically against you and getting new party members is a knowledge check you'll likely fail for the static recruitments, so you're at the mercy of RNG.
>>724886017I loved the game but with enough exposure you become unphased. On my third attempt I started hating most of it, everything felt annoying. Beating the game again just to fight that stupid gerbil boss wouldn't be bad if you didn't have to beat the full thing again. It's cool that there is so much to see, but retracing steps and redoing everything for the 2.0 update saps any mental strength I thought I had when Coulombe released it. It's like if you completed all of the Witcher 3 cheevos on launch, and CDPR decides to put out Blood and Wine just a few months after release.
>>724886234Everybody gets the same XP, but it does the awful fucking RPG meme of downed members not getting any because fuck you.
>>724886439okay so clearly you haven't played an rpg before, got it
>>724886515ive played both types you bitchass nigga thats why im asking>>724886513ok so the xp is split? so i dont lose anything if i just kill things with sam alone, he just levels up more?
>>724886435...so?>>724886515Well, some rpgs do split XP. Baldur's Gate 1/2 for example allow you to level up much quicker by cutting from 6 to only 4 or less members.
>>724886505You aren’t alone feeling that way, I had to rush through the whole thing again because I failed the ritual and didn’t have a good save, it’s very very easy to lock yourself out of content worth experiencing
>>724886505I wouldn't force myself to play it just to see new stuff right away. Just give it some time and then replay when you feel like it.
>>724886505I felt the same with Elden ring, it's a great Fromsoftware game but after 48+ hours of nonstop playing on launch I just couldn't care about the cool stuff anymore. Then they put yet another dragon boss in the most obvious of places: a really flat empty field. I hate the feeling that the design becomes palpable when you play too much.
I can't catch the buttplug in Floor 2 because it runs off the screen too fast.Has anyone figured out its companion quest?
>>724886505I get what you mean, 2 of the new endings require you to go through the entire Perfect Ritual dance and beat Exalted yet again.
>>724885921Morton becomes very useful in the Wilhelmina fight, which rewards a pretty good weapon of your choice. But that's about it.
i dont like looking at this thing
>>724885939Just show how other people are dealing with thingsI immediately thought of someone working to keep the power grid on through the apocalypse or someone keeping the Internet up
>>724887079it kind of looks like sam
>>724887079Is that Sam?What a weird quest that was, made me uncomfortable too
>>724885939A 2d platformer ala Castlevania with splitting routes. Artstyle of course like Look Outside or Zombies in my Neighbor's Garden etc.Fuck make Sophie the protag, fits well enough with the tubular rad vibe I'm thinking off.
>>724886328He also gets Wriggly Fred to make him sandwiches and give him a special ring if he spares him
>>724886571>everybody gets the same XP>splitI don't understand how your mind works, so I will put this in the simplest terms possible. If I kill Nibbles The Dick Muncher with just Sam, Sam will only get 10 XP. If I kill him with a full party of 4, Sam will get 10 XP, and so will all of the other party members. Yes, you will lose out on minmax potential XP gain if you're alone.
>>724885939another rpg maker where you play as a mutant that kept his sanity and a semi-human form like hellen but I would set it in a different place of the world, I dunno, japan or italy so we can have mutations inspired by their culture and shit. or maybe spain and have a bull enemy. you play as someone that wants to get to a different city to reunite with your child or spouse or whatever. it'd be an excuse to be able to see whats happening on the outside more clearly. maybe you need the help of a friendly car mutant but he asks you for gasoline and you have to go to the outskirts of town to find a gas station and you'd fight mutated wild animals that arent insects. maybe you visit a house and the family there kind of wants to look outside just to get it over with and the dialogue options are what determine if they keep their sanity or not.
>>724887263did anybody get all the new fred rewards yet? what does dark fred give?
>>724887263And Auntie Wilma.
>>724886116this is prob my favorite track in the game
>>724887079is that your plant?
>>724886940Aint no way, two entire playthroughs just to witness two cinematics? I might just rip the spoiler-band off and watch them on youtube, I literally can't be assed anymore.
>>724887335>scaredCowardly Boots, increases your evasion and chance of running away from fights on the first turn>biteyRage Armor, boosts your attack but also makes you temporarily enraged at the start of battle, basically a berserk vest>shadowApparently, fucking nothing
>>724887685>two entire playthroughsAnon, surely you aren't insane enough to do an entirely new playthrough instead of just loading your save and reaching the requirements for the other endings on it, right?
>>724887726shadow is the only one who instantly attacks you no matter what, as even toxic fred can be convinced not to hurt you if you fall for his trick
>Chad FrankiePumps out update after update after update>Virgin whoever the fuck made fear & hungerMaybe 1 update every 3-5 yearslmao!
>>724887079>>724887150>>724887171Its the fruit of Sam and Hellen’s love
>>724887996I'm not kneeling until he releases Malison. He does deserve more recognition though, one of the few western indie devs doing legitimately interesting stuff.
>>724887726Rage Armor also gives the wearer a 25% chance to counterattack on top of the +50% attack boost. And Cowardly Boots halves the wearer's chance of being attacked.
this game is reddit
I feel like there's a version of Unity Ending that could be expanded on that shows that "we" became a fragment separated from the Visitor because we really are unique compared to it, or it was a part of the Visitor that had found its own will. And that we could learn that we are the Visitor but still our own beings that are separate from it.
>put Training Belt and Crimson Ring on Aubrey>get a basically immortal tankAhahaha, yes, yes!Too bad she can't deal damage for shit and has no way to draw aggro.
>>724887329>I don't understand how your mind worksThen you clearly havent played RPGs before.In many RPGs, the XP is split.Example: Your mom, the fat bitch, gives 150 XP.If you only kill her with your penis (you inbred fuck), you will get all the 150 XP. If you kill her with your brother and your dad cock, each cock will get 50 XP.Thats how most RPGs work, but i was asking if this game was like other RPGs, like the situation you said.thats what i was trying to explain with >>724862519
>>724887996What's the difference between this game and F&H anyway, mechanically? I've watched a letsplay of the earlygame in F&H but I'm not super indepth with the mechanics
>>724888262>He doesn't know
>>724888262the cop car drops a body slot for her that increases her odds of being attackedand the garage goon sells a feet slot that doubles her attack damage and gives her a chance to counter whenever she's hiti still use her for the can shot though
>>724888432F&H is more survival horror, this is more RPG
>>724848961>>724849251Is it seriously the same guy? What happened to him? Why is he so faggy now?
>>724888428>that's how most RPGs work, i was wasking if this game was like other RPGsbro is coping big time, no other RPG i've played in the last decade does that
>>724888629>in the last decade does thatback in the day due to limitations thats how it worked
>>724888428Anon, I'm not the one saying that you haven't played RPGs before, I'm asking how the fuck you see "Everybody gets the same XP" as "XP is split". There are plenty of RPGs that split XP, and plenty that don't so it's a valid question, you just have the literacy of a fucking brick.
>>724888537Even with the attack damage being doubled her damage is still garbage.I didn't know about the cop car though, that's pretty great.
>>724888697XP splitting between group members was never decided by limitations you fucking retard. It's also not more common than everyone getting the same xp by any metric, in fact it's generally frowned upon because it disincentivises you from utilizing your full party roster.
>>724888871She gets a based on HP attack later
>>724886775I think you need Morton in your party and it has to be under day 8
>>724886775>buttplugthe who? also>>724888537garage goon? WHO?!
>>724888432F&H is more trial and error and has much bleaker/darker content.
>>724849251Why are you faggots so offended by every joke in the game?
>>724889106get a load of this guy he doesn't know about the garage goon that sells upgrade parts for your vending machine
>>724886775>I can't catch the buttplug in Floor 2 because it runs off the screen too fast.The what? Not Nestor's head, right?
Why doesn't Sybil wear the astronomers uniform? I had 50 different interpretations of her, but she ended up looking like femSam.
>>724889173Because we know who the dev is and can tell when a joke is actually a dogwhistle for his gay faggotry.
>>724889323>dogwhistle
>>724887804You should put yourself in my shoes when I beat every core game ending just how you described, and then I find out that if I put the guinea pig in front of the TV that it would be special end boss. Wtf is your save file supposed to do now?
>>724889298I don't know, her design really disappointed me to be honest. "dude meme wolf shirt lmao" was annoying.Also I can't help but feel like the cane is some retarded disability virtue signaling shit, like the D&D wheelchair crap.
>>724889173Don't respond to this guy, he vomits the same repetitive posts every thread because like a broken record.
>>724878382Frankie shoul've just made the ending available, but the exalted four just kill you at the end for lying to them.
>>724889354I knew one fag would get upset at me using that word.
>>724888924I know, but it uses up a ton of STM so she's gotta chug those energy drinks to put out damage. I feel like it's better to have her just soak up damage instead.
YES this game has amazing art YES this game has amazing music YES this game has very charismatic and interesting characters YES this game has a great story BUT the women arent hot, there are way too many browns and the developer doesn't want to kill all trannies so I will spend every waking moment from March until November lurking the threads so I can complain about the liberals and hopefully convince someone who doesn't know about all that that this game doesn't deserve his money
>>724889401Anon you just load an earlier save. You don't just use a single save slot like a fucking animal, right? There are 19 slots for a reason, surely you made use of them.
>>724889698I used that simple trick to see Dan's quest because for some reason he won't show up in my 2.0 saves
>>724889698
Thread was so much better before the americans woke up
>>724889801wait you can get hellen to take her mask off?
>>724889846Usually they wake up at 2pm your time.
>>724889846It's almost 4 pm in America right now, that doesn't even make sense.
>>724889579>The women aren't hotMaybe if you have shit taste
>>724889801Fair enough. Whenever I hit the save cap I make another folder in the game specifically for extra saves so I don't permanently save them over, but I forgot that not everyone is as autistic as me. I'd strongly recommend doing that when you play RPGMaker games in the future.
So my theory of the visitor was correct. If you try to perceive it you get warped but if you already have an idea of it in mind it can't alter you. Basically thinking its a giant squid looking down would be enough. As the catalyst for transformation is letting the tiniest bit of your mind try to comprehend it.Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go get a hamster
>>724889945we love the jeannster dont we folks
>>724882526Xaria attacking 3 times in 1 turn with a two-handed weapon and increased damage though...
>>724889409>Also I can't help but feel like the cane is some retarded disability virtue signaling shitConsidering Sybil should in reality just be piles of slime everywhere and even her skin is still a bit fucked up in her "human" form, I don't think it's that abnormal for her to have the cane. If anything, it adds more credence to why she doesn't leave her apartment. Besides the fact that she's trying to avoid the unity ending in her own weird way while being crazy at the same time.
>>724890043>As the catalyst for transformation is letting the tiniest bit of your mind try to comprehend it.Explain the plant.I'm disappointed that we didn't get any plant content, besides the Helen quest.
>>724882949Frankie is either legit insane or the only dev that didn't grew complacent after hitting it big
>>724890185>If anything, it adds more credence to why she doesn't leave her apartment.I mean, she's also an astronomer who only uses her telescope from her apartment in the city where there's tons of light pollution, so if anything it matches up with her backstory too.
>>724890205The plant should have grown into a hot monster girl
>>724890324>the only dev that didn't grew complacent after hitting it bigHasn't grown complacent YET. There's always time.
>>724890380i mean i agree that it should grow into a party member if you leave it in the light but 'hot' doesn't seem to be an option in terms of visitor mutations
>>724889271It might be desu
Does this look like a >herTo (you)?
>Can fix all the other offering except the fucking paintingNow I'm stuck with a shitty ending because of this.
>>724890205Plants can comprehend light, thus they grow towards it.Sight is the reflection of light, the visitor likely emits it Thus the plant could comprehend the visitor.
>>724890852I mean, it is the middle of an apocalypse. Everyone looks grimy as fuck in this game.
>>724890917
>1733109anon-kun... how old is that picture....
>>724890917>Plants comprehend lightWhat kind of retarded self-fufilling logic is this?
The game didn't need lighthearted segments, the dev is just a pussy for forcing them in. Imagine if Trial & Error had an undertale bar or friendly rats sections where NPCs try to be le heckin' relatable
>>724890905You can always swap out the offerings in the new version?
>>724891032>1733109Probably around the game's launch a year ago, dude.
>>724891231>Anon learns that plants actually do thinkDid you know they can also feel pain? They can even tell when other plants die nearby.

Do I have to fight the cursed astronomers in a Failed Ritual save in order to get their respective achievements? Because I beat all of them while pursuing the Mask ending and got jackshit
That BRAT...
>>724893098Hes gotta be a Malison tie-in or something
>>724893098Sophie telling it like it is
i have lyle, ernest and morton on my team.who should be the ranged weapon fella?
>>724892643Some people have said some of the achievements are currently bugged.
>>724893485Honestly, any of them work. Morton may be the best one just because he doesn't have usable unique skills like Lyle or Ernest.
>>724893485i use ernest, because the only skill he needs to use is setting up a song at the start of the fight, then he can go full time rifle duty
>>724891586>plants think and feel painYoutube/tiktok AI videos really did a number on the youth of today huh?
>>724894661no retard they did actual research to figure that outwhat the hell is wrong with you
Still need to do the meme easter egg endings but this update has been fucking amazing. Love all the new endings and massive dungeons.Promise ending is lame but gives ending cards, and I don't think Unity is as bad as people think. There's still mystery given that Sybil is a madwoman so her words may not be actual truth.
>>724892643So wait are the failed astronomers and secret fight or new failed final bosses?
>>724891531You swap any of the others but the painting is locked in in the canvas bag. I've tried going back to the paintings room and I can't pick any other painting
>>724887224>Sophie, Joel and Ratboy going on an adventure to explore the new world in the aftermath of The Visitor.>Swapping characters around like Castlevania III or Bloodstained.
should i just sell all the items i have with the treasure icon?i never know in games like this whether they have an alternative use.
>>724894739I think that it's at least half right in that The Visitor is visiting to see if you're a part of it, since the Perfect Ritual ending does have it coming to the realization that you're not it, but I do like the theory people have that it's Sam's belief in Sybil's theory rather than the theory being true that causes the Unity ending to happen.
>>724894943I wonder if that's a bug. I could've sworn you could swap the painting.
>>724894894They are mandatory to fight in the Mask ending but apparently they're optional in Failed Ritual.>>724894739I see Unity as neutral; humanity isn't being decimated by an impromptu eldritch deity created through retardation, rather it's returning to its original purpose (which they eventually remember). I don't see what makes Sybil untrustworthy though, she studied and directly communicated with the Visitor, at least 70% of her note has to be true.>>724895031Keep Mazes & Wizards if you want a fun DnD session with Lyle and your party.
>>724895031A couple have alternative uses, like Grandma's Ashes being a battle item, and the Coin Collection being usable to get the coins out of it. I don't think any are required for quests though.
>>724894728At the institute of "le heckin reddit".Plants share information using chemicals but they have neither the brain capacity nor the structure to feel pain or any kind of emotion, don't get your info off of sensationalizing youtube videos
>>724895184>"le heckin reddit".oh christ, you're one of THOSE
>>724895031You should keep one of the drawings (usually baby since it's worth $0, but so is kids drawing on cursed mode) to give to the shadow. I think the other three mentioned in response to your post are the only treasure with alternative uses.
>>724894739It's only bad if you INSIST that it must be the indisputable truth of the relationship of The Visitor and Earth. Considering how pliable reality is, with even The Visitor himself being altered by Sam talking to him ,or deciding to go full Weaboo and kill god with the power of Anime, it makes more sense to me that Unity is just a really, REALLY bad idea that can become reality. Even if it wasn't before.
>>724895184i got news for you brother, all life is reducible to chemicals interactingthe line you draw of which chemical interactions are 'real' and which ones aren't is a personal decision, and you'll never be able to convince anybody to change their stance on it
>>724895050Exactly, it may be true but we know the mutations the visitor parts on people are influenced by their individual lives. As the visitor's longest observer I don't think Sybil is entirely wrong in her hypothesis, but she's also a Astrology nerd NEET whose life experiences are influencing her interpretation of the Visitor's intention. When sam reads her notes, he's essentially reading a description of the visitor, which is a big no-no and basically infects him with Sybil's mutation.
>>724895247Kid, how about you lurk more so you get the your jargon of /v/ up to speed before signaling everyone you're a minor.
>>724894739in past threads anons have also said that the visitor gives reality altering powers to whoever that observe it without realizing in a nutshell, its why the perfect ritual true ending JRPG ending exists even as a joke
>>724895184fuck off retard
>>724895313>>724895425True Final Ending is the only ending that matters because Sam puts vidya above everything else
>>724895325based, what episode of Rick and Morty was your favourite?Mine was that one where he did a funny scream then punched a guy.

The new Shade designs are pretty sick
Spider`s dialoguehttps://rentry.co/xnx7kygu
>>724896196Am I supposed to be fighting shades? I always assumed you were supposed to run from them
>>724896258Those specific ones are static encounters for a new ending, but the big floor-specific Shades that spawn with heavy breathing need to be killed to unlock the door to the new Spider boss/party member. Otherwise they're best avoided.
>>724896221So Spider is connected to one of the endings? Which one, the Mask one?
>>724896196Do I just have shit vision/a shit monitor or in battle is it very hard to see them (and shade Fred) unless they get hit in battle? I can make them out in your image just fine, but otherwise it's so dark.
>>724896719the shades for sure put a weird filter on the screen when you fight them. i know the henderson one is currently bugged so that the filter stays on even after you kill it until you get back to the apartment
>>724896719It's intentionally hard to see them, I think. The brief flashes where you can see them seem like a stylistic choice.
>>724896517Lore-wise? In a way. But this is the initial encounter

>>724897453

honestly i think stargazer's apartment has some of the most effective horror in the game just reading his notesthe slow decline in his ability to communicate with others and think about anything besides his autistic super obsession with stars is really terrifying to me
