Does rotten food have a negative impact?

[1Erik1]

The red hue around the character screen indicates it does. Is there some noticeable effect I am unaware of or is there like a getting sick scenario that happens if you eat too much of it and that's why you get a red hue?

[Kujaaku]

Honestly I always eat them when I'm desperate and never had any negative things happen so I think it's completely safe.

Karma affects your chances when you roll a dice.
So all red effects on karma (bad food, stealing) will decrease success, the blue ones (dancing with Carl, returning credit card, helping people with money, piggybank) will increase your chances.

Is there any way to determine how much karma you have?

No, at least I have not seen anything that could show it

It's on the "C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\LocalLow\DigixArt\Road 96\Saves\context.sav" file.

the real question is *why* does eating bad food lower your karma

Probably because there should be consequences for that and they couldn't think of anything better.

It simulates you asking someone to help you, only to violently vomit on them mid-sentence. Your charms fail.

Wow this karma thing should have been exposed to players. I played through the entire game wondering what random system controlled those numbers and never figured it had anything to do with these types of choices.

That are present only in a few specific encounters, which you might even not get at all, due to this game´s unique nature.
