I think I got softlocked at the beginning of the game lol
I entered that weapon/crafting store next to the crematorium, walked to the right to dodge the bombing, went to the crematorium and talked to the two guys there, when I went back into the weapon/crafting store there was a corpse blocking the entrance but when I walked passed I couldn't walk out and talking to the shopkeeper just has shopkeeper behavior while interacting with the corpse just made me walk up to the counter
Thank you for reporting this! It seems like one of the game's plugins was not functioning properly, but this might just be an issue with your copy. I couldn't replicate this problem in version 1.5.1 until I specifically disabled said plugin, through RPG Maker.
Version 1.5.2 should fix your specific issue, but you may not be able to copy your saves over. Let me know if you run into anything else!
That was quick :)! Thanks for the fix and I'll be sure to update even if it means a restart since I haven't gotten very far yet
does anything actually work against palladium and tungsten? none of the ultimates seem to work and i can't use items
Nothing actually works against them, but the turns still move forward like normal--if you block or use skills that say they "take a turn" in the description, eventually the battle ends.
well i knew tat the battle ends if you stall for time, but i was just wondering if there was anything that did anything (walkthrough was just being cheeky i guess)
funny thing. very early in shans campaign i lost all my blood+ because i unequipped my pistol. i never knew how to restore it so i've been running dry basically the whole game.
to think, shan got this far while probably in a constant state of withdrawal.
yeah! that’s the idea at least, it’s why speed ends up his best stat (you can use bullets on him to restore his blood+, there’s a sidequest in heisenburg that gives you a bunch of them for free after you finish it)
so it's canon that shan is mostly off blood+ and paying the price for it?
how do i remove the prosthetic arm? i tried pressing buttons and clicking and dragging it but nothing happens.
Thanks for saying something, it looks like there was a bug. I’ve uploaded a patched version of the game; your save files should transfer over without causing problems if you’re using Windows.
Once the actual QTE begins, you have to keep clicking on the button on her arm as it moves around until the timer hits zero. If it's still not working for you, try pressing [enter] or the interact button to start the event; if that doesn't work, let me know and I'll look into it more.
also, the organ removal minigame is just as confusing
GOOD GAME THANK YOU FOR MAKING IT
