IDK the background of the team as a whole, but if this was the first project of more than a few involved then this game goes from merely goat to actual miracle

From reading the dev interviews, this apparently the "best of" campaign they wrote skimmed off the top of about 15 years of tabletop roleplay.

It also seems like they have pretty intense public eastern european university art background.

I kept dying in one of the encounters until I realized that even if you are on your last HP, you can click the healing button after dropping to zero, as long as the screen isn't completely black yet.

The healing button flashes loudly as the screen slowly goes black, and at least the first time it happens EVERYBODY stares serenely at it without clicking until they die.

Finished with a 4 Psy, Fys and 2 Int, Mot build and loved it. Any recommendations for a build on a second run through. I'm having trouble deciding since I loved Shivers and Inland Empire so much I don't really want to change stats

I would recommend either going through with the inverse stats to see more of the failures you missed (2 Psy, Fys and 4 Int, Mot) or just cheating every stat to 6 to see as many insights and conversations from the skills as possible

The first time I lost, I had just tried jaw jacking a 12 year old foul mouthed little mongrel, missed and slipped into a frozen mound of mud, snow and abject despair. I grabbed my knee and told Kim I was really hurt while Cuno loomed over my disheveled body, calling me a pig f*ggot. My single point of morale shattered by a freckle faced reject getting the best of me, I gave up on the investigation, the police force and even my life because gently caress everything forever. All within the first 5 minutes of the game.

That was a big reload moment for me, my first big test of the game's systems. I didn't even have a problem with those involved, they were cool, I just went down that rabbithole because the game wrote the option and I was surprised.

For an actually good old detective adventure game there is also the Blade Runner game that let's you pull out your gun pretty much whenever.

Oh yeah he's just some weirdo who decided to stop doing drugs and live in a cursed church steeple. You can get a little background info by talking to him enough, but you never get a full portrait or find out his real name.

There should be an interaction in the Tribunal where you can do a Impossible hand/eye check to bat the bullet back at the bad guy with your sword and kill him, whereupon everyone just packs up and goes home. Including Kim.
