Anyone still playing this game?

[Io]

I have 100h ++ on this game. But I got scared to see my employees die. Even I have to restart the day until all of my employees survive. Any motivational tips to play this game?

While I'm typing this, I remind myself as a character in Re:Zero, Subaru. This feeling of preventing someone from death is kinda sick.

Edit: Nice to read experience from you guys. I just gave up this game and watched youtube for the story. I recommend keeping playing the game because the feeling overcome despair after winning a day without death is something extraordinary and you get to know the monster. I just take a shortcut and the feeling is gone which kinda ruined the purpose of the game. But at least I can understand the backstory of those characters on Library of Ruina. I was on day 34 if you are curious.

the best you can do is get a select few characters you like close together and hope for the best, possible get some throw away employees since day 30 and onward will be a living hell especially with midnight. you can do a no death run but that would require you to get lucky with your abs, like ones that don't possess employees because the game tends to forget to tell you about them or have an instakill ab that kills employees when the do a certain action.
if you want something and you know employees are going to die do it on a memory imprint day so you get the stuff and your employees with the loss of reproducible E.G.O on the dead employees

Can you not S every day? I'm also resetting after each employee death.

Fun tip: Have a new item abnormality or one that often needs sacrifices? Hire some interns! For the measly price of a single Lob point you can have a completely pointless employee ready to follow your orders right into the fiery pits of hell! Get one today, call this number: 0-06-20

Their lives are meaningless in the greater cycle...

Try to keep the high levels alive and sacrifice the low lvls as needed for SCIENCE!! Or because censor hungers or a plague doctor is giving funny gifts.

Also the irony not counting clerks in deaths.

It is fairly possible to go for a no deaths run for most of the game.
It's just going to come back to get you on day 49.

Uh, at the risk of spoilers, what's so bad about not letting people die..?

you lose money, time and equipment if in the early game if an employee dies. Best to go almost deathless.


anyway spoilers cause they asked: There is a large group of abnormalities that are a big threat to ones facility, and most are affected by employees dying.

There is only 1 abnormality that forces you to kill employees to prevent their Qliphoth counter from decreasing, unless you paid very close attention to its management tips.

There is also nothing special about day 49, its over hyped TBH, unless you go in super ill-prepared or had a massive death spike from day 46 to 48.

It's just really hard to get through without deaths.

I just took the approach to getting all level 1 lob character to fill in the spots and train them up as needed without spending lob. If I manage to find an anomaly that I can't handle, I just use leftover lob to get who I need to the right levels. That being said, I use the restart day to test new anomalies before I even spend my lob.

Normally, I have the low level peeps on control. When I unlock a new section, I place my older members there and buy new low level peeps and just keep repeating while making sure to place key weapons/armor to ensure safety. Normally I have 1 person in each area be melee while everyone else has guns.

The only bad thing I've encountered is an anomaly that instant kills a worker that is overqualified with fortitude. Then again, it forces the player to make sure they don't just maximize all their workers and have a good level 2-5 employees at all times. Otherwise you just set off problems all the time.


All this being said, I've only played for one day and managed to figure out a ton of stuff. Man. I can't believe I skipped over this game until now. It's pretty good.

day 44 now, hokoma (then rewind) and binah done. it had cost some time (and hairs) but I managed to go deathless until here. I'm a little afraid for day 46 and 49, but we'll see how it works out.
I'm to lazy to do a new start just in order to get all my employees up to 130 all stats.

if you want to play deathless, the key is patience. don't rush yourself unless you really have to, think about what you're doing and make sure you read the tips for the anomalies closely. from my experience, 4/5 of the deaths happen because of small mistakes, that can easily be avoided.

I'm sitting at a pretty 412 hours right now, which is nothing compared to some crazy people with 1000+ I've seen, but I still play it quite frequently!
I have a specific agent who I never let die, and always put on Control every time I loop to Day 1. She has about 330 or so days on her record.

If you are afraid of death, there is a mod you can get that prevents dead employees from being deleted the next day, though they won't gain any experience from the day they died so it's still a bit punishing. It does greatly reduce the risk that certain specific events in the game are supposed to pose to you, though- I only really recommend this if you absolutely can't stand yourself watching your little nuggets die.
