Dare mode issue?

[nicuveo]

i'm on day 6, but i still only have three dares, the fourth is empty. is that expected? the phrasing of the letter suggests that i should know the fourth one by now?

Is it actually day 6? If you Game Over because of a failed dare, you restart the current day. Other than that, i don't know, i had all 4 dares by day 4.

This was pre-patch, and that save file has the room directory from my original save, i could see almost all the rooms on day 1 and they had the altered rarity from my first save, so some kind of save file corruption is possible?

yep, day 8 now, still no fourth dare

Hmm, weird. You could try to create a new profile, I guess. Sucks, but should hopefully not be too bad, since the save isn't that old.

Alternatively, you "might" be able to fix this by using the Laboratory, which has an "add an additional Dare" experiment, but not sure if that would work.

For anyone else stuck here, this did not fix this issue (it added a dare 5 but no dare 4!). It took a run restart to get it working properly. As far as I can tell, I took the 'add an additional dare' experiment before the game had offered all 4, and that caused the error.

I just got no 4th dare on day 4. I explicitly did not get an experiment that added a dare because I felt like that was a trap. The only bizarre thing I did was on the 3rd day I ended the day in the planetarium.

For what its worth if you run into this issue and haven't deleted the save file already, it seems like despite what the game says you can still win the run and get the achievement even if the fourth dare never appears (I'm guessing it actually just checks if its at least day 4 since it assumes you'll have all the necessary dares by then)

Glad to hear it, I just ran into this bug after a pretty good start in the first three days (Foundation + elevator, drained Fountain, and 3/4 permanent additions outside). My three dares are manageble (> 20 steps, no Den, can't miss in Billiards Room) so it is a winnable run.

This is my 2nd Dare Mode run, and both have glitched in some fashion.

EDIT: Can confirm, I reached Room 46 on this run with only three dares and got the achievement.
