Hello or Deep?

[HeikoFennec]

How 'must' is it to play the one mode over the other? I can already tell from squirrel attacks that I need be careful, otherwise I'm up to gainin megam.. reg in the hello mode.

Hello Abyss goes by relatively quick, one to six hours or less or more, differently from Deep in Abyss which has the real meat of the game.

So Hello mode did go by quick, mostly once I got the curse figured (sortof) and also just ignored alot of pickups.. Goin in Deep mode and it feels like wisdom to build up then descend? I've not gone past ferret landing besides the N(?) zone over which had enough cause for concern.

You play on steam? There's no way to play this game wrong, so do what feels right >:3 (poison arrows are very powerful by the way)

I'll look into those, rn getting unlocks to craft and build up. Honestly trying out the bow, gun and etc when I get them made.
The squirrels be vicous so I will give no quarter to the rest of the deadlylife down there

Curiosity - what is the max player char level?

why do you say this, in hello abyss mode could you get yourself literarly softlocked if you have no salt xD

salt and that other thing (which looks like sticks) are the most important ingridiends
having no salt or the other thing often forces you in deep abyss mode to give up because you can not make anything to eat.

attacking everything you see is aswell very wrong. you should avoid most enemies if confrontation is not needed. i could go on and on in how many ways you can play this game wrong, expecially in hello abyss mode.

anyways, hello abyss is the story of reg and riko and usually acts as totorial/introduction
so, its basicly an about 3~6 hour long totorial depending on if you skip text and cutscenes or not. even tho i know made in abyss was it pretty fun to see how faithfully close they stayed to the original story... aside from ... a few things which you obsiviously cant show in a Rated M game xD

playing recklessly teaches about consequences, players used to this game's style already learned stuff the hard way in other games, that is stuff players need to get in touch at some point in their gaming, glad they're interacting with resource management in this game to be honest; the poster blazed thorugh hello abyss apparently

Did learn from hello mode that you don't need to fight everything in sight nor pick up every item. Pretty much just reinforcement of lessons forgotten

but you said "you can not play this game wrong" so, being reckless would be in your opinion "not wrong" ^^ hence why i was like why do you say "you cant play this game in a wrong way" x3.

indeed, resolve to keep going will take you to your objective no matter the course you take >:3 you may have to restart more or less times depending on how you decide to proceed but everything always more or less count for something

Hello Abyss is a tutorial mode and honestly not a very good one. I recommend to skip it entirely unless you REALLY want to play as Riko for a while.
Deep in Abyss is the actual game and it's so much better. I can only imagine how many people dropped this game because they were forced to play the tutorial thing before the patch.

I skipped Hello and was totally fine.
