What's up with the curtain in the book store? Actually I probably shouldn't be asking that.
Also I'm all paranoid now cuz I keep getting anxious that I'm fucking up conversations by not asking the right questions. Plus I'm like two hours in an already a communist, fucking game knows me too well.
Cool. I just died cuz I didn't realize my health was so low and I tried to break a door down. Now all my former coworkers are talking about what an alcoholic I was to the press.
lol nice. Better than me falling and breaking my neck trying to get my tie off the ceiling fan in the very beginning.
1st playthrough, 5 min in, I died of shame after trying and failing to punch Cuno.
Failing is all a part of the game. It leads to different dialogues or sometimes even better ones than if you had succeeded.
I’m doing my first hardcore play through right now but I’ve played it several times already.
The first time I beat the game, I cried.
But I wanna find who did the muuuuurrrrdddddeeeerrrr!!!!!!!!
Edit: fyi I’ve already had like 70ish percent of the ending ruined for me by a friend but I’m still enjoying the process of trying to get this drunken ass to figure it out for himself.
I haven't even finished day one yet myself but I'm just trying to go off instinct. I've noticed one issue with that and trying to do a typical rpg first run where you just kinda at yourself and get a baseline is a bit hard cause I'm very sarcastic and not above telling people what they want to hear to get what I need and I've really been feeling either sarcastic/placating dialogue options that are marked as such or even better a modifier for the ore existing choices that can be entered for irony/deception would actually bring a lot to the game
I’m sorta also caught in this conflict of going “okay do I want to be a good detective and ask the questions most likely to actually yield answers to help me solve the case, or be a little sarcastic dirt bag communist who tries to piss people off?” Honestly tho I think I’m making decent progress in the game combining the two, I’ve already gotten a few leads by alternating between sarcastic ass and serious cop man.
I've also woken up with several days missing but it's pretty clear i ruined some aspects of my life and had to investigate my own blackouts as well. So at this point and I'm not reading spoilers, I'm not even totally sure I'm a cop anyway and regardless I've clearly had some degree of spiritual awakening. That being said, in my heart of hearts I am a fucking detective and I am compelled to get to the bottom of shit. I fit the character to an uncomfortable level anyway except also I'm really really sarcastic and willing to lie under certain pretenses which are most of the ones presented in the game
Relax, enjoy the show. There's no optimal conversation path through the game. It may even be the case for you that it's better at times not to say something, even if you're curious.
The curtain leads somewhere.
The detective is canonically both a fuckup and a genius, so there is no wrong way to play, here.
For your first run through dodge spoilers and try not to save scum. Then on the second time through scum like crazy to see everything you missed the first time. Don't worry about getting a perfect ending because the game is all about failure.
I am at the point of playing that I'm trying to find all the ways to die in game.
I got it as well on this sale, but I lost my job and girlfriend, so if this game has a depressing ending too, I am going to be pissed.
