this is pretty good, and very unforgiving. I've played a few hours and still have no clues how to cast spell, and I'm nowhere near having enough clues to finish it.
the "shoot yourself" glitch is also a very sneaky move.
I really don't like the fact that sometimes you can't complete a building because you have no key or lockpicks left.
The writing is very good, but after a few times it becomes repetitive, and you stop reading it all.
(also after hearing yatzhee thought on sanity meters in the "dark descent" review, this will probably come back to him...)
overall another carefully crafted sadistic game (never been to the end of the library in the the poacher)

Likely just because it's a basic uninstaller. it puts it on its own in a default folder normally. I was just dumb and accidentally told it to put it in program files. Was able to cancel it (through task manager) before it deleted anything important. Fairly understandable especially for a self-published thing. Just telling the uninstaller to remove whatever else is in its folder.Estelindis said:
Major game-breakage bug report:
This isn't playable on my machine, because of layout glitches. I could post a whole lot of spects, but being a dev myself, i'm quite sure that the only thing relevant, is operating system version, and window-manager settings:
Windows XP, SP3
Custom Screen DPI Setting: "normal font size" (quite sure that means 96dpi, which is the default)
Display scheme: Classic (win9x-style) instead of XP-style
Font-sizes: higher pt-setting than default for most window-manager elements, because i've got a 23" screen
The problem:
In the main menu, i already get glitches (flicker in the buttons) but still usable
Once i launch a new game, positioning of text elements seems to be completely off. Some text-elements in the bottom-right, actually go partially off-screen. The layout behaves, as if it estimates X/Y distances higher than they actually are. The result is that text-elements are placed either at wrong positions or partially/entirely off-screen.

Started it up
Drove towards Stonehenge
Game: "A mysterious figure flags you down"
Me: "The first encounter can't be too bad"
You died
Hmmm... Guess I was wrong.
Anyways, apart from really having no clue where to start (It is randomly generated, but still having a starting point would help.) I ended up just driving around randomly, completing dungeons with no clue whatsoever as to where to go.

Played it for an hour, had to stop when clicking began behind my head and something knocked on the window.
You did too good of a job, Yahtzee. ;__________;

mass death worksEstelindis said:
otherwise, it just takes a HELL of a lot of damage, luckily it also moves at the same rate as an iceberg, so as long as you take the time to walk out of the way when it shifts, you could easily smack it to death, if you're not up to unloading a full inventory's worth of bullets into it
This was my experience with it.
Started Game, read opening text message, chose the shoot myself option for the lols. Restarted, drove to a town, clicked some stuff, got back in the car to a sanity lowering text message about someone snapping my bones open and slurping down my marrow.
...quit game and wrapped myself up in my protective blanket of fear. I think I'm going to sleep with the lights on tonight because I is a weenie.

Question: do armor piercing bullets actually work better on anything? I found that most of the enemies seemed to be more of the hollow point variety, so there wasn't any real way to experiment with that.
note: some of the stuff that happens at the low end of sanity is pretty entertaining

About 5 attempts in, complete 2 jobs, have loot-boosting, bone-protecting and stab-protecting items, and I shoot myself when trying to investigate a town. Yahtzee you sly devil.
The sanity loss inducing shoot yourself is pretty neat. Risky clicks all around.
I'm bad at the mechanics, thats for damn sure.
However, the clue hunting is fun. I'm starting to play with runes, and i've worked out that spells exist.
On to more towns.
Note: I did take a job that seems to have been impossible to reach. I think i searched for supplies an extra time, but theres no way I;ll get there in 4 hrs.

Damn, and I said I need a break from Videogames.....
But if it is Yahtzee's game, for sure I will play it.

I can never seem to figure out what the hell those things are supposed to BE. 0_oGrayJester said:I believe these bastards are vulnerable to AP ammunition:weirdguy said:
