Not taking meds? Endings?

[Slusho]

What happens if you don't take the meds as the graphical glitches get worse? And does this game have multiple endings and if so how do you obtain them (in as non-spoilery way as possible)?

[javagear13]

I waited twenty minutes to see if not taking the pills would result in anything. All that happened was the effect got more extreme, and the reminder got even more insisant that I take a pill.

As for endings, They are not effected by your actions througout the game. They are determined by one final decsion that you make at the end.

Okay cool thanks.

If you want to see something cool when you are really low on synch you should go and see all the posters around the apartment building and look at them. :)

[Ambry]

Yeah the low sync thing doesn't do anything (well aside from what Cerilun pointed out).

At first I thought the mechanic was gonna be a huge part of the game, like it'd hinder your ability to progress during stealth segments or mislead you with hallucinations and stuff like that, so I was really disappointed when, after going a whole hour of gameplay without using synchrozine, I realized it didn't actually do anything aside from making the game look like I was playing at 480p.

Is the decision to jack into the head? It shows as an option, so I would think that means that you can do it and then you'll be able to continue on after. So am I safe to do so or not?

If you mean Adams severed head on the table in Victors den then no, it's not the one determining the ending.

Does jacking into the head reveal anything we dont already know by then? This would be the only reason i would replay the game, because i didn't jack in the first time and I kind of regret it.

It's an additional optional sequence. You can just watch the whole thing in the first ten minutes of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RplWN7SCeR4

When playing, I thought whoa this is crazy, I'm looking at Adam's head, but he is talking to me, warning me not to do it. Like I'm in a simulation or somebody's head without knowing it, and going into the head was a trap to bring me farther in. I thought that choice would effect the outcome but I guess I was just overthinking it... haha. Thanks!

[Slusho]

Yeah that's exactly why I asked. If a character is warning you against doing something, it seems like the answer is always that it's a bad idea. This is why I hate when games give you a choice that just causes anxiety over choosing. Give me a linear structure any day insofar as I don't have to worry about missing out.

[Happy]

Agreed. I liked the story, but with a game as linear as this, the devs could have gone more in depth with it.

I know this topic is old. Anyway I wanted to tell that I so far played the game 3h and never took any medicine. Except in the first scene in the car where I'm forced to. The only annoying thing are the continiously voice "Synchronisation critical. bla bla bla". Quite annoying. I will see if I'm going to die never taking it. I planned to finish the game without taking any "medicine". Drugs are bad ;-)


Edit: The only I changed, I disabled the rumble in the gamepad, it became to annoy because it was rumble with some heart beat.

I know you get an achievement for taking your meds, but I don't think there's much else to it
