Been noticing the not saving playback location issue on iOS as well.

Found out yesterday via the tech pod. (Been off twitter since Tweetbot got shut down)

Just pissed and sad and confused. Not sure whether to keep supporting the remaining crew (who all I like) or leave in protest of this boneheaded move.

The fake marina was a nice touch.

Just finished this game. Lots of spoilers ahead that I'm not going to bother to tag....

I did feel like act 2 dragged a bit, and maybe just wasn't quite my thing, but act 3 made up for it. I really enjoyed all of the mechanics that the game kept introducing in act 3. Act 2 I initially found very frustrating until I just started having the game autogenerate a deck, which almost always ended up being better than any deck I built manually.

Act 3 was fun an challenging and overall less punishing than the 1st. Losing in act 3 generally only put you back 1 or at most 2 battles, where losing in act 1 was brutal if you were nearing the end of the run.

I'm curious how much player choice changes the way the game progresses, ie what is the consequence of your choice of who to replace at the end of act 2? It just so happened that I chose to replace Po3, and then went onto Botopia, but what would have happened if I had picked any of the other 3?

I don't think there's enough incentive to replay to find out, but it does seem like there could be a lot more there to find.

@undeadpool: Finally got back to this and made progress. You gave me the nudge I needed so thank you.

Spoilers...

So I was close, and the literal key was underneath my noise. I had found the useless thing, I have gotten the ring just by brute-forcing the clock, and I had unlocked the safe. What I missed though was that there were two items in the safe. I took the card, but didn't see the key sitting there. I have partial vision so this is a common problem for me. Sometimes I just don't see things. I wish more games would offer the option to highlight objects in the environment, but that's my own personal problem.

So the key was literally the key to unlocking the rest of the cabin. I got the dagger and the eye and the film, and ended up going all the way through all 4 rounds of the game and moving on to the next stage.

Some thoughts on the "game" (at least the first stage that is immediately available). I think it is intentionally unfair and designed to be broken. I stumbled onto what seemed like an incredibly game-breaking totem early in my run of rodent/revive. (or however they word it) That combination meant that all of my squirrels revived, and made summoning high-level blood characters simple. I steamrolled through the first three acts easily summoning 3-and-4 blood cards. The first two rounds of the final boss were still fairly easy as I was able to counter all of his actions. The final round though is so incredibly unfair that I don't see how you beat this stage unless you've found some sort of exploit like the one I found. I was at the point where I was just running out of cards, while having about 20 squirrels in my hand, but did mange to pull it out.

The FMV was unexpected. As someone who did computer support in the 90s I can tell you there is NO WAY that floppy disk could have survived buried with the door open. None.

So now I'm onto the CRPG part...

Bumping this thread because I feel like I’m missing something with this game. I’ve played about 10 hours and am kind of losing interest. So far it is a pretty bland deck builder roguelike. I’m kind of in a grind of playing through the first two biomes, losing on the third, repeat.

Obviously from all the talk about it SOMETHING happens but I’m obviously missing it and losing patience with the grind.

People need to move on sometimes. Asking someone to stay at a place where they aren't happy for whatever reason isn't fair.

Having the team continue to do what they do more or less uninterrupted has been a level of normalcy that I really needed over the last miserable year(s).

It feels silly to feel so broken up about a website but good to know others feel the same.

Have this problem on iOS constantly—nearly every video. Usually refreshing two or three times gets it to work. What I see when it doesn’t work is the background behind the play button is very dark, almost completely black. When it works the background becomes lighter.

@searchx: thank you very much.
