UPDATE: Try Yahtzee Croshaw's New Game Consuming Shadow

[Estelindis]

Finally beat this. What really helped was starting to note down the clues offered by bodies and coloured runes. It would be good if there was a section in the note journal where one could type in one's own observations, rather than having to always tab out to a text file or keep a physical notebook beside one.

Also, it turns out that the best way I've found to kill the gloopy toxic monster is back off when it shrinks, be out of range when it grows (when it causes toxic damage, I think), and then run in to pistol-whip it. Rinse and repeat.

This game is scary and can be frustrating, but it's really satisfying to finally succeed.

I really, really hope Yahtzee is going to expand on the concept. I'd gladly shell out cash for this if it had more features.

Made by Yahtzee?
Well how jaded and cynical is it?

Spoiler: what territory runes mean

What territory runes mean:
If it's a claim of territory, then you know that color is associated with that rune.
If it's a blessing, then you know that that color is associated with the ally of that rune.
If it's a curse or blasphemy, then you know that the color is associated with the enemy of that rune.

Spoiler: I don't think so

I just came across two different runes in the same dungeon. One was a blessing, the other was a claim of territory, and they were both drawn in yellow.

the color correspond to the god that possess the building, so the god associated to the "claim of territory" rune.
in a given place, the color will be the same for the ally god rune and enemy god rune.

Oh dear. It seems that I have failed at logic forever. My idiocy is now preserved in this thread for all to see.
This is why you double-check what you write before posting it, kids.

Whatever will your future grandchildren think when they wonder what amazing things you've done online and find these posts?
Did you think about them at all when you so recklessly posted something you vaguely believed to be true?

I also have a question for the people dressed not unlike myself:

In the mystery locations where you encounter a note on the first screen saying "Open only the box that bears the mark of ..."

Does it actually matter which box you open? I've always opened the first box I came across and always got a significant clue and one of the scary guys chasing me. Has anyone done this with more care?

you mean in their underpants?

Yes it matters very much, you usually have three boxes, with differents runes or colors, and you have to open the right one, preferably first, because after you open one (the others are empty) you get chased by the scary guy. If you don't open the right one you can still manage to get the right one, but you have to run, you risk dying, and you lose sanity from escaping random monsters. Sometimes you have not enough clues to figure it out so it's a lucky guess

seppuku seems the only dignified reaction I'm afraid.

I have already made multiple posts praising the design of a certain porn game, so I think this post is the least of my worries.

Captcha: now and forever. That seems... disturbingly apropos.
