common misconception. as long as the pit has walls you're more likely to eventually fall asleep and drift into one of them, breaking a limb or at least the skin seriously enough that you die of blood loss. it's quite simple, really

Playing it now it’s pretty impressive how “real” the environments are and how much detail there is fora game made in 2001
the developers flew over from finland to guiliani-era nyc and took lots of photos with an early digital camera that they either just photoshopped into textures or used as reference for architecture, models etc. i think they ended up hiring some ex-cops to take them on a guided tour of bad neighbourhoods, old mob hangouts etc.

it's pretty well known how max is just sam lake in a cheap leather jacket, but pretty much every character in the game is photosourced from whoever they could get in front of a camera for five minutes. developers, friends, parents, relatives, random people in the same office building, pizza delivery guys...

say what you will about the dream sequences but the fourth wall break in the second one blew my mind back in 2001 and hell it's still one of the highlights of the game for me

Given your followup posts I suspect that is in fact what's happening.

I remember the last act being a bit weaker generally though

not quicksaving is the cowards way out, you gotta ramp that difficulty until its absurd and then its true gaming

That's not the issue, it's reloading without watching the full death animation play out. Difficulty rises automatically and only lowers if you die a bunch of times in a very short time period so frequently quicksaving then dying is probably rhe only way to actually lower it. I think

After obliterating my 4th guardian and then finding the axe yesterday I felt like a genius. 10 minutes in some dark rooms was all it took to make me feel like a moron again. La mulana rules

I feel like I ran into a brick wall and have just been walking around in circles since yesterday. Would like to know how to move the elephant statues blocking the ladder leading to the save point in chamber of birth or how to get to the clay doll miniboss.

In that same situation rn, got the jewel but otherwise just running around both halves of chamber of birth and hating both of them

: Find the La-Mulana software/Maze of Galious ROM



It is incredibly satisfying when you break through a road block and make a ton of progress all at once. Beat Viy, cleaned up most of Illusion and Ruin. Finally got that treasure taunting me in Guidance, which led to finding the entrance to Tower of the Goddess, what a loving reveal. Got through most of Tower of the Goddess and checked out the back half of Ruin, Illusion, and Graveyard. I got a puzzle to solve in Endless Corridor, I got items to find in a couple places, and I've only peeked inside Birth. I also want to spend some time just visiting places to bring the key fairy and use the scanning software.

Screenshot + excel file has been clutch.
