As for your final point They get sprayed on you by the Cryptozoologist when doing his bug hunt. Unless you refuse. Having a bath or shaving afterwards hurts the roll too.

Luckily I shaved before getting sprayed.

Came here to ask whether I should get this on switch. I’d prefer to play it in bed on handheld mode but if the performance is really that bad maybe not. What’s the consensus, is this ok to play on switch or nah? Thanks

E: I have an og switch if that makes any difference

I bought both the (regular) Switch and the game in October, I think.

I'm going to glibly say that it crashed about 3% of the time during loading screens but it wasn't nearly that often. if you save a lot it's not too bad. I still had a fantastic time.

by contrast Skyrim has only hung up twice and I'm level... 44? and nothing else has crashed.

Setter is Better.
switch is by far the worst way to play the game except that i really like text-heavy games as portable ones, which is why the Vita was the best VN platform


but if you've got no other choice, just save frequently

This shit's about to go off.
Nah I could play it on my PS5, I’d just rather have the portability option for non-action games since I have a baby and can only really game in small bursts. However if the performance issues (or other issues like text size) outweigh the convenience factor, then I’ll just get it on the PS5.

Even on PC, I'd suggest saving regularly. (Maybe also rotating saves, but that's more my desire to see content.) The game was made with love and humour, but jank happens.

what about the pale emitter I had a 97% chance to succeed at that one and still failed twice cause lol I died, low health and not enough stimpacks.

I didn't even bother to try and dodge the second bullet, I was wearing the armor and since he was pointed dead at my chest I was just going to trust the plate. I don't remember where the pheromones come up but I certainly had it for the phasmid

Whenever someone says they failed a high chance twice I assume they have the thought that makes them guaranteed fail red checks. But thats a... white check, right? So you're just super unlucky lol

The plate stops the Killer's shot so you don't need to heal 2 HP in case Harry fucks it up, but the second shot is when Korty aims for where the chest plate doesn't cover, which I thought was the legs since one of the red blips on day 7 mentions that your leg is hosed. Call Me also mentions that either the leggings that probably would have protected you from that specific shot are either lost to Revachol or plain never existed in the first place.

Itchy pants. These pants make you angry. Good LORD these pants are UNCOMFORTABLE. Punch someone in the face! They are striped and calf-length; too tight around thighs, too loose around waist -- the worst case scenario.

I didn't count the last one because it's possible, there are just certain additional conditions to it. The first two are impossible, period.

Talking to the cryptid if you've washed the pheromones off is a guaranteed failure, no matter what, including on a natural 12. I had to edit my save file to get the full ending experience once I realized this.

I mean, it's Volition stepping in here not Esprit de Corps, which to me mostly just seems to be about police work culture and comradeship with other cops. As for European cops, just look up the statistics, police are probably somewhat similar in terms of leanng right and racial/class profiling people to an extent, but the real difference lies in procedure and accepted thresholds for use of (deadly) force. Alot of people swear it's mostly (level of) training, but I bet you can find lots of places that have pretty poorly trained cops who don't really shoot people all that much unless it's a country riddled by gang wars and the like.

e: I think it's also notable that you're with Kim who really is the goodest apple there ever was in terms of cops, and extremely "by the book". Even then it's implied that the RCM is riddled with corruption, pretty much bought out by organized crime in lots of places, also repeated mentions of lousy pay* and letting basically anyone become a cop. Kim says there's many officers who take "perverse pride" in the number of kills they have, though still with the restricted access to automatic weapons in Revachol (dating back to the monarchy IIRC and continually enforced by the Coalition authorities post-Revolution as well) and mentioned rigid procedure associated with using your weapon, there's probably still some shackles on it.

*Speaking of the pay and corruption it kind of reminds me of when I was in Russia some years back and repeatedly got warned to stay clear off the police (with the traffic police being the worst), because they are very liable to attempt to shake down and rob/scam foreigners and such (the classic scam being to ask to see your passport, then "fining" you for something and then not giving you your passport back until you pay up). Though I doubt Estonia is anywhere near as bad, seeing as for a post-Soviet country they're actually doing extremely well.

Rcm spoilers. Lets not forget the implication that the RCM is the continuation of the communists from the last war which makes them pretty unlike most real world police forces which are very much the opposite end of that spectrum
