Horror Meets Shopping at the Echo Bazaar

You don't have to wait between each action, you can use up all of the ones you currently have one right after the other. You simply have to wait for them to recharge (unless you spend Fate to get them instantly).swaki said:
And for people railing against Twitter, it's not like you have to actually do anything with Twitter in order to play the game. You simply have to have an account, which is to say a user name and password. Other than using it to sign into the game, you can completely ignore it. (Yes, Alexis already said all of this, I'm just agreeing.)
And for the record (sorry, Alexis) I have yet to spend a single real-world cent on the game, and I'm having a fantastic time with it. It's still very, very satisfying and engaging even without paying for extra Fate.
I tried signing up for the sole purpose of playing this game, but Twitter said no and wouldn't let me. It had some bloody technical error so it couldn't create my account, but my suggested username and email address are now considered "already taken".Susan Arendt said:
Twitter is poo.
Gah! You may not need to USE twitter to play but You need twitter access which means I am banned at work, so until I get a smartphone which lets me play this I am out as I will not find time in my life outside of work between gaming and social activities.
Was really intruiged by this (especially having just watched Sherlock Holmes to re-ignite my love of Victorian England), oh well will hopefully get to it in the next month or 2

The game sounds very appealing to me. I also like small inventive projects getting attention. But, I am conflicted at the use of a twitter account. I am morally against twitter. I don't like the trend I see in society of short-sighted instant gratification, and twitter seems to propagate this. People seem to be losing the ability of actual social interaction since these networking sites popped up. Instant mild Asperger's for everyone. The services aren't tools for just keeping in touch with friends and networking, they're a disease. You would think as someone gets older(aka grows up) they would gain knowledge, but I just see people becoming dumber and dumber. And society caters to these retards! When we tried to circumvent natural selection and survival of the fittest is when we doomed ourselves. One day soon the retards will run amuck in the streets. Pretty soon we won't even be able to tell the difference between normal people and the retards. Then the interbreeding will start. Next thing you know maybe your spouse has some latent form of retard that surfaces violently one night over dinner, requiring you to take your children and flee. You couldn't possibly have known this beforehand because the retards had tainted the gene pool. You thought you and your family were safe... well, think again.
I'm gonna go give this a try. It better be awesome Susan.
Ok, it's cool but how do I increase my skills in things other than Dangerous after I chose Watchmaker's Hill? I'm a little stuck on getting a house...

Other skills are upgraded in other areas -- for Watchful, go to Ladybones Road, for example.Cpt_Oblivious said:
You can't change the location before you get your first house.Susan Arendt said:
While I find the theme to be interesting, the execution is... less so. It takes forever to get even a little amount of money. They obviously want people to play PVP but then put a anyone who chose the "Heart's Desire" ambition at a heavy disadvantage, since the stat that is most important to that questline has absolutly no use in PVP.
You actually end up bumping up all of your stats over the course of the game. Grinding just one won't really get you very far at all. And you can ignore Knife & Candle completely if you want.Ziren said:
God, I am loving this game. But I've just started and can someone fill me in on the purpose of Goods bought from the Bazaar? I assume they're for selling in other places but I would prefer not to blow all my money on jars and jars of souls, only to find them worthless. But then again, I would have jars and jars of people's souls. Badass.
This explains why half the people I follow keep tweeting about this game xD
I may have a go later then >_> But I've never been any good at these sorta games. :x

Hello folks, Paul here.
Tattaglia: selling goods at the bazaar gets you in-game currency (Echoes & pennies). Completing missions gives you goods. So you can sell goods at the Bazaar to earn Echoes, which in turn you can use to buy more expensive items that bump up your stats. However, some missions require goods to complete. Of course, if you simply wish to collect people's souls, you can. They may prove useful if you end up working closely with the Brass Embassy. Although we can't offer any advice on how to live with yourself. Those poor bewildered spirits, moaning in their little bottles...

Thanks for the help, kind sir. And may I say, this game is a work of art. The artwork is fantastic and the style is both funny and hauntingly unique, something rare in most games - browser based and otherwise - today. I might just fork out a couple of crisp New Zealand dollars for some Fate.misterarendt said:
Keep it up, delicious friend!
Hey, folks...anyone wanting to play Knife & Candle - or just play some chess - post your Twitter name here so we know to look for you!
Yay more people who don't want twitter. I'm not alone.Calobi said:
I'm joining twitter JUST so I can play this game.
If anyone needs any friends, and I'd like some game-mates on there I'm lollipopdragon. Because the character limited wouldn't let me be thelollipopdragon. Friggin thing.
