Pathologic thread

replay it and find out

kek

he was spamming the thread
And probably other ones as well

Please no

All I'm saying is that, whenever I see someone's posts all suddenly disappear, it usually turns out he accidentally sneezed in the direction of the Overwatch thread.

He was spamming jibberish across multiple threads.

Oh. Delete+, right?
Good riddance.

You can actually get away with a lot of shittalking in the Overwatch thread. I'd know.
Only posts I saw getting deleted there were flat out "game sux's, fuck you" halfchan tier shit.

>replay it
I dunno user. Pathologic is the only game that physically tires me. I feel stressed and lose hope the more I play. I really have to struggle with myself to get to the end.
The Void was similar. First time I played and the Brothers appeared, they took one of the sister's heart and I nearly lost all motivation to keep going.
But hey, one of my gardens was doing fine, right?
No. It's slowly dying. Like everything around me in that game. And nothing can survive long enough for me help.
The Danganropa fellas think they know despair but they haven't really experienced until they see the very colour blot out of your world while your most loved one's scream for help.
And the only answer you get? Loud, giant pompous fool sentence you and them to death.

I love Ice Pick Lodge.

Not anymore
Especially after the meta thread
Please stop talking about that shitty game, no generals about it is good enough for me.

Shitting on games is fine, it's video game discussion which is the point of the board. People get banned when they're just spamming stuff to derail or prevent others from talking about video games.

Just do it faggot

Yes, although probably only through the abuse of quicksaves. I tried it on one replay.

Nah it doesn't change anything

I'd discourage against replays in general, Pathologic is my favorite game but it's almost impossible to reclaim the magic of that first playthrough, especially since the ways it's mechanically open to exploitation become a lot more clear after you finish it once. I think I've played it three times in total. The Void holds up way, way better on replays.

Didn't catch that in the meta thread. Overwatch generals aren't allowed anymore?
That's actually pretty good.

I find the game fun, but not big or deep enough to warrant a general. Especially because we don't have a guild or dedicated group to it.
And to be honest, the actual discussion of the game made up 10% of the thread, with 40% shitposting, 40% resposnses to shitposting and 10% porn.

Yeah, thanks for that. It's been a common sighting in a lot of threads, even old ass-games only very few people care about. The "game sux" posting kinda hampers actual discussion about games.

Well… I only played the good Doctor.
There's still two more characters I need to do.
But I'm willing to bet they're gonna hurt me like hell. Maybe like actual Hell too.

They are, they're just not welcome here
kill yourself

Oh what the fuck man, you haven't played it until you've played all three characters, go back and play the other two. Klara's may be pretty unpolished because of how rushed it was but Artemiy's easily the highlight of the game for me. Play it before I start gushing and spoil shit.

Ok I'll talk about Pathologic. I'm on day 3 and it's just kind of tedious. I really want to give this game a chance because I've heard it gets good. But right now it seems like all the challenge is in rationing your supplies to fight the hunger and endurance bars. I don't mind hunger and sleep in a game but, in Pathologic, you strip that away and you have one of those games where you just walk around and talk to people. Is there any challenge in this game or is it really just going to be a story I walk through?

I don't know. I've heavy contributors to threads, like the Dominions thread, just suddenly vanish along with their posts. 20 posts, all from an actual conversation just gone. Trigger happy (or lazy) mods have for a while been fucking over genuine posters who are definitely not trolls. And I'm just making an observation as someone who lurks around here too much, You can check my post history and see I haven't been banned and I don't even use proxies. I've just noticed you guys ban a lot of innocent people along with the supposed "trolls." It's like you're drone-striking threads.

I didn't mean to delete any legit posts of his, that was a mistake on my part.

You didn't
No worries

You can spoil it I don't mind. And that's why we have spoiler tags in the first instead of using them for jokes and stupid shit.

I almost ended the game with the Doctor on the original. Surprisingly, I got most of the story right judging by what I got on the newest translation. But after I asked here about Klara's folks told me (back then) that her path was so badly translated it made Mongol's scratch their heads.
Her path is still a bit unfinished I imagine, since they only changed the translation, but still, I heard she performs miracles so it's gotta be interesting.

For the longest time, I thought Klara was the girl you see burning on the first day and that for her to survive you had to play as her.

I said "fun". Not good. I have fun with games, be they good or not.

No that guy was retarded. I'm just saying I've seen it happen a bunch of times.

Any game can be fun user

Day 5 is upon you user

You aren't infected, and a majority of the game's mechanics revolve around managing infection, so yeah, it would seem like that right now.

Nothing of value was lost, relax

The first thing I'd recommend is googling what a "haruspex" is, since that's what you'll be playing as. You'll also be seeing sides to the story that were only background details for Daniil, like the odonghe brotherhood and the menkhu, and in general you'll see the missing sides to a lot of mysterious things that happened for the bachelor. For instance, how do you think that dead guy showed up at Anna Angel's house?

ah ok thanks

That's usually a mistake. If you see something like that, report the OP or something and type out what happened. We'll find which vol did it and let them know they made a mistake.

Anyways, I don't mean to attention whore anymore I just like clearing up misunderstandings and questions. Have a nice thread!

It's an unfortunate event.
We like to paint shitposters as some sort of demon's and bogeymans out to shit up the board.
But they're also people, and sometimes make worthwhile posts. It's kinda sad however when they make 10 good posts in a thread and 30 shitposts in another. The mod will see that much shit and just opt to delete everything instead of removing one at a time.
I blame the fact that some posters lurk too little and post too much, but it's really just a tragedy by itself caused by no person in particular.
I keep 12 threads open but post in 3 or 4 of them.

There's a point where you'll get infected.
At that time, you're "supply rationing" will get a bit harder.
And one day, you're gonna have a single pill or painkiller on you. You kinda need it now. And if not now, you know you DEFINETLY gonna need it in a few hours.
And yet, there's a dying person in front of you asking you for help. She wants that painkiller too.
It gets tougher overtime. Also, the story kinda branches out, but it's mostly a very subtle visual trip around a very weird story.
Remember that you can also use bullets to cure people, if you're a monster like that.

>ow do you think that dead guy showed up at Anna Angel's house
>She clearly killed him, user. Of course. I have no doubt. It's clear as day.

No, but she's done worse shit than that anyway

I still got get why people say this is a scary game, it's a whole lot of fun, but it's not scary at all.

>Worse than murder
>Rape?
>:^)

Goddamnit, only meant to quote the first line.
I'm either drinking too much coffee or too little.

I guess the music? Or the infected districts later in the game. Entering those places is a sudden shift into "nightmare-world lite".

The atmosphere of dread and the survival horror elements along with its bizzare gameplay elements and lore.
Much like S.T.A.L.K.E.R or even E.Y.E
Were you expecting jumpscares or something?
have you completed it?

Subjective, and it obviously makes attempts to be scary, more successfully than most games I've played.

Worse than ONE murder

I'm already infected because I took the side quest to collect money and buy food for the shelter. Then, when I delivered the food to that house I just sort of stood there and let the cloud hit me in the face because I thought the plague doctor was shaking incense or something. Then I thought, "great, thanks a lot you stupid bitch."

I wish the game didn't hold my hand so much with the characters that break the fourth wall and tell me too much and with the hand marks on the map. Or maybe there's just more to it than what I've seen by day three. Guess I'll trudge through a bit longer.

those blanket guys aren't scary. They're just annoying because I have to lure them around a corner before I kick their shit in so mustache guys don't see me do it.

>I thought the plague doctor was shaking incense or something
I laughed because I did the same thing.
You get a "cake" later on that cures you. I felt very guilty for eating one and healing myself because maybe I could have saved other people and it was important and oh god did I doom some other character and, nah, here's 10 cakes lying around/up for trade. Don't worry user just explore.

And after day 5 you'll wish people held your hand. It's gonna be a constant stream of "SHIT man, there's people DYING HERE, go there and do SOMETHING".
And you won't have time to figure out what that SOMETHING you need to do is before the clock runs out. Save everyday user.

There's an atmosphere of dread to the whole game, but it's not scary, it's just dreadful.

>You realize you're killing sick delirious people, right?

Then you have a lot more to worry about than just the endurance and hunger meters, or you're not going to be playing much longer

Fair complaint and most people complain about the opposite, that the game is too cryptic, but it isn't always going to be telling you exactly where to go.

Yes

There is literally no incentive to FIGHT them unless you're Klara, why are you killing them?

You're splitting hairs, "There's an atmosphere of dread to the whole thing, but it's not scary" can be said of most horror classics

Yeah. Mustache guy said so. but I wanted their coins

I have one save that stays early in the morning at the beginning of the day and I have two other saves for milestones. I wonder if that's save-scumming and if I should just have the one save.

Fair enough, I mostly like the hoarding aspect of the game, I just love to hold onto all that I can for the upcoming disaster.

So you're not just killing them, you're also mugging them?
You sick jewish bastard.
Money isn't all that important. There's very little you can buy early on, and it becomes worthless later on. Eh.

And not really save-scumming, it's standard fare for Ice Pick Lodges games.
You'll be running around one day, starting to panic because you didn't find everyone you had to talk to or didn't do something you needed.
Midnight hits and bam: game over.
Best to reload that day from the early morning and find out the right people to talk to.
Save scumming before you enter an infected house to prevent being infected is scummy and removes tensions from the game.

I don't feel too bad about mugging these faggots. I'm half tempted to just wander out into the Steppe and become a Mongolian.

Not unless you're playing as Artemiy

You should mug the houses then.
They not only have better valuables, they also have no people guarding them. It's free shit for the taking シ.

There's usually a better way to get stuff. You can find trash in the trash bins and other places. You can then trade some of it with the grownups. Or with the kids. These will usually get your hands on bullets (hard as fuck to find) or some medicine, particulary the kids.
Grown women can repair your armor, and some men can repair your gun. Adults mostly ask for water and something else.
Kids want needles, razor blades and some "toys" like that. Some of those "toys" are worth more.
It's usually better to get shit from the kids than buying it on a store.
You can also trade for things that you then sell and get mad cash, or buy shit to trade with a kid.

Also, the trash bins and other containers re-roll their contents every morning. It's good to make a round sweeping them or just clearing them as you go about your day.
Adults show up in the early morning/day, so give'em your water and whatnot. Kids show up towards the end of the day. Trade with them.
After that visist a shop or two and remember to save some money to trade with the grownups in the morning. At night, take up your Batman costume and kill the criminals/looters for easy cash.
The game kinda forms a routine with you without anyone stapling a clock on your forehead or forcing you to do it. It just appears organically like that. One of my favourite things about it.

I'm already digging through dumpsters and trading nuts with the kids. I'm not really having a terrible time with the rationing. I'm just saying it seems like all the difficulty in the game is tied to that and, without it, I'm just figuring out who I need to talk to next. I guess I came into it expecting a mystery to solve with subtle clues and puzzles as opposed to a survival/ weird barter economy simulator.

Ah well, you get into the mistery later on.
Characters seem very one-dimensional in the first few days. "This is the good guy, this is the bad guy" that sort of deal. They get a bit more fleshed out later on.
But managing resources is the main draw of the game, yeah. If you think that part is too easy, try The Void next then. It's also a more beautifull game, but much, much harder to actually finish.

I guess it was hard for people who tried it back when he had the "original" translation. Ever played E.Y.E.? Imagine that sort of translation, but twice as cryptic. Made it really hard to figure out who to talk to.

The game is more about the small choices you make in-between the big story moments.
for instance, when the lady gives you a bunch of money to buy bread. You can keep the money for yourself at least I don't think that was a mandatory quest. Or you could buy it, and realize she didn't give you enough.
Or you could steal it and keep the money for yourself. It's this sort of open world that really immerses anons.

played the beta of the kickstarter demo, and all I can say it sure is pathalogic. It seemed to have more events happening around the town that are available only during some times of the day.
Also the influence meter is removed. Talked to the devs about it and they responded "why would it be there". You notice your influence is low when the town's people is mad at you for not rescuing some sick dude.

I think I need to clarify. I do not think I played THIS demo, the demo I played was the events after the plague, as if you have failed.

Fucking based
I really hope you're right and they deliver user
If theres something thats not done right on this industry is remakes.

Also, posting a review/analysis for those that want more info.
Heavy on spoilers though

Yeah, that's a good move.
A bar for influence kinda leads to people grinding influence. And once it's topped off, you can go willy nilly killing people for a few coins because hey, the magic bar says it's okay to kill 5 more guys.

I'm trying to wean myself off pre-release material but that's nice to hear, the Reputation meter was definitely rough, especially for Klara

bump

I have both pathologic and the HD enhancement. Is there any reason for me to just not play the classic version? I sometimes get real finicky about playing the first version of the game if there is an enhanced version.

Anyone who's played both the Turgor and The Void (Voices of Color) version of their other game?

The differences are
- bugfixes
- runs better on newer OS
- support for higher resolution and 16:9 resolutions
- completely redone English translation which was the biggest complaint about the original
- some HD effects like DOF and motion blur that nobody cares about and which can be disabled

So there really isn't any reason to not just play the Classic HD version unless you want to see what the original translation was like. It's not like the original's unplayable, but the Classic HD version is better.

No
Except if you want to see how they improved the dialogue and texture/res.

Original has shit translation

OK then. Thanks. Sounds like i'll just play the HD and if I like what I see i'll dip into the classic version to see how it was.

Isn't it supposed to be out friday, as per OP ?

Kickstarter backers get extra service

As opposed to their website's backers ? I can live with that, but it seems strange to me.

Dude, read just one post ahead

That post doesn't clarify much though. Two different demos for two different kinds of backers in just a few days' difference ? That sure is limpid.

I think the one he's talking about came out at least a few weeks ago

...

Maymay time!

That last one is fucking great

The Mutey one is still the best

Thnx. I just redrew it again.

Shit taste, brother although I don't have screens of the best girl either

I got to day 3 or 4 with Haruspex. I don't remember why I stopped playing back then, but for some reason, I feel reluctant to start playing again.

It's firefly, m8

I did. Turgor is offers more text, more ambiguity on the nature of the world and events and fleshed out characters, especially sisters. The Void is more streamlined, more action-oriented, has explicit quest system and producers forced IPL to cut the amount of text twice so it looks dumbed down compared to Turgor. Also, you could do a rocketwasp-jump in the OG game due to manual color filling of your projectiles.

Found you, you're the one I want to talk to, because you told me this a year ago and you're wrong. I can prove objectively that Turgor is easier than the second release and was not streamlined, not mechanically anyway.

I gave them 300 dollary-doos on kickstarter, and I haven't heard anything. Why would you lie to your fellow anons, you dishonest man?

Turgor is easier because it's less balanced. You start slow but you can get away with accidentally losing 100-1500 drops of color by the end while in The Void you have to scavenge all the time.

Right, but I don't think "streamlined" is the right way to put it, since they didn't remove anything of depth. Capillaries were not a layer of depth, and they made the game easier by giving you a secondary color reserve in the body. I also don't buy that The Void was more action-oriented, in fact I would have said the opposite since Turgor has way higher enemy density and more incentive to fight enemies since they'll drop color, and they don't in The Void.

I'm also not sure what you mean that Turgor is more ambiguous, the added details about the world made the whole thing a lot more clear to me

Yes, it is more action oriented,

Little things like capillaries and void predators dropping color is another thing I prefer Turgorfor. It gives you more flexibility and strategy variation: you can be a gatherer or a hunter.

Anyway, did that 'double-version torrent + untimed english subs patch' trick actually worked?

Also, is poleanon here? You might want to check this podcast out, Nikolay Dybowsky talks about 'Martian chronicles' here.

The toughest lesson I learned in The Void was to never emphasize one color too much, unless you need to unlock one sister RIGHT THE FUCK NOW. Keeping a balance of colors is extremely important, especially once boss fights start happening.

No, it starts with you collecting your first heart and planting your first garden, Turgor starts with Death telling you that you died

But that's wrong, Turgor doesn't have the Brother communication glyphs, which are important since it lets you talk to Brothers without automatically jumping into a boss fight

You can like capillaries and enemies giving color all you like but they make the game sloppier and easier. I can directly control how much color goes into my palette, so the decision of harvesting color and knowing some of it might be wasted is gone because I have a new buffer. I don't have to optimize my gardens because enemies give color and fireflies are fucking everywhere, and there are enough wild roots of color around to fill your entire lymphatic anyway. I don't even have to worry when I have a full cell on the palette because I can drop color and pick it directly back up, the idea of color as a precious medium of creation and destruction is gone because they just treat it like any normal resource.

It did, yeah, it was working before because I don't understand Cyrillic and didn't realize I was trying to apply the patch to the "Voices of Color" version. The subtitles aren't synced to the dialogue but you can read past dialogue in the menu anyway.

*it wasn't working before

In the Void, Sister Death tells you that you died. In Turgor, The Nameless Sister tells you that you almost died but she fed and warmed you and you got better.

Turgor has three whole glyph for directing the conversation with sisters. The Void repurposed them to more practical things like baiting hordes of fireflies and yeah, challenging duels with brothers. The latter one is better for mechanics while the former one stays true to the idea that you have to spend color to do literally everything including obtaining the information.

It's a matter of balance, like I said. The Void has less color and less gameplay variation, plain and simple. You still need to fill yourself completely, including your capillaries, which makes it twice as much as your total hearts capacity, if that makes you feel better.

also, they changed sky in Uta's chamber from crimson to cyan reeeeeeee why was that allowed

Anyway, I have to go now, I'll check this thread tomorrow.

The exact line is "this is a desert at the edge of death", and the point that you are only near death is mentioned several more times through the game. Makes more sense mechanically too, since color is very scarce in the beginning, the chambers are so colorful that they felt full of life in Turgor. There are other lines in Turgor I think make things more concrete, which is why I was confused because I know we've talked before and you mentioned that it was more ambiguous, but that might be down to the fan translator. For example I don't ever remember in The Void anyone explicitly mentioning that the chambers are reconstructed from your mind as you enter them, it just reveals it when it shows Ole's chambers.

You still have to paint Sisters with color to talk to them, though. The Void doesn't have Sisters constantly coming to you with new information either, I swear Echo and Aya interrupted me at least twice every cycle, and you didn't have to spend anything to obtain that information.

>The Void has less color and less gameplay variation
I'm not buying the variation. Why choose to be a hunter or a gatherer when I could be both without the drawbacks of either? Combat is entirely a win scenario, I get to remove enemies so they don't harass me while I collect color and I get extra color for killing them. I don't even have to worry about spending too much color on combat or in my gardens because there's no realm damage. I'm fine with a little less variation in the gameplay if it means the gameplay itself requires more complex decision-making.

That is another thing I wanted to ask about because I didn't actually reach turgor the last time I played, I couldn't find all of the hearts. I checked every chamber and only found like sixteen, and none of the Brothers I fought gave hearts after the fight, did I miss something?

Wasn't the remake being cucked by some PC or SJW faggots or something?

No

Ice Pick Lodge is a russian dev.

Can't remember where I heard it. Last I checked on this was months ago. I'm probably just mis-remembering.

Since there appear to be at least two hardcore IPL shills fans in this thread, sell me on Pathalogic. Which version should I play, are the survival mechanics overbearing/disruptive, and is it actually scary?

The translation is being done by a young woman but she's fairly normal from what I've seen, as much as any of these people are "normal", maybe she has blue hair or something

Classic HD
Do you want me to gush for a few paragraphs about how well the survival mechanics mesh with the narrative or do you just want a flat no? It's a good game, a lot of people think the gameplay is "bad" for some reason
That's subjective and if you read the thread you know some people don't think so. Don't be expecting to scream into a facecam or anything

Downloading it now, thanks IPL-kun.

...

...

Yep, there it is

If you actually have any information about some negative influence on the game you can go ahead and share it, but fearmongering about hair color leads to these kind of misguided posts. She's not new, I remember she worked on Knock-Knock too

She is a self-entitled fujo bitch who used to be a small-time e-celeb and who uses her position for self-promotion but I don't think the old team would allow her and two other hipsters they hired to do PR for them to ruin their creative vision with her bullshit.

the article from OP doesn't specify what the demo contains, but it says "verical slice" which may very much be the same 'story' I played.
The demo may not be the same as many base features were not finished, such as the inventory and moving NPCs. The demo was at the time around an hour long.

The demo I played was months ago, more specific at gamescom, so it was not from a kickstarter reward.
Even got some goodies.

Should I trade jewellery with girls or are they worth more to the shopkeepers?

Welp, tried it, but I can safely say it's not for me. Games with arbitrary survival mechanics and time limits just don't do it for me, and completely pull me out of the experience.

Leave the board altogether

Seriously?

The girls will give you better stuff for them

She was a popular lj blogger, it was a big deal in russian teh internets back then. This picture is from yet another attention whoring blog post

Are you sure you checked them all? All three locations with giant beasts have them, I think, some other locations require you to use magnet to get your heart, and sometimes you find hearts that are supposed to be sister-exclusive before sisters can give you them. This is a bug, and you should savescum your way around it.

I googled "alphyna" and browsed a few of the results and I have to say it makes me sick to my stomach, I'm surprised someone like that is actually a competent translator

Checked every chamber, fought every giant beast, fought four brothers, nothing. I thought maybe the sisters gave you the missing ones at a certain point but I filled a few sisters' hearts up to the fourth one and nothing happened, I was very frustrated because I had shitloads of color and would have been able to reach turgor easily.

That's why I was asking, because I couldn't tell if it was a bug or if it just worked differently in the original. I'll experiment with it when I go back for a replay, maybe I'll download from a different torrent this time.

Which ones are you missing? I looked into a walkthrough, and there are five hearts that sisters give you after you fill their first heart and use "medium" on them right away.

Its coming
and so am I

Fuck, that's it, I didn't think to use Medium after filling their hearts. What walkthrough are you talking about? I checked one but the only english-language guide I could find was for Voices of Color, not Turgor.

The Russian one lki.ru/text.php?id=4300

They also made an incredible video review that got me into the game in the first place. Ah, memories…

The suspense is killing me.

Are you ready to become a Finn?

Well, this is most definitely unoptimized Unity. It's running at 5 fps average.

I don't have time right now, but lets hope someone else can leak the demo on torrents for everybody else in the next few hours.

RIP

It says "be prepared for trouble and shitty optimization" on the very first screen, soooo…

Hopefully, by the time it will be released, things can be fixed.

Unity is only as good as the people working on it, start worrying

There's no need for arbitrary "survival" mechanics on a heavily accelerated timescale in a game like that. It just breaks immersion and reminds me that yes, I'm playing a game, and takes me out of the experience. It's on the same level as flashlights that arbitrarily last ~2 minutes before needing more batteries. Give me difficulty through combat or puzzles, not retarded "survival" shit that completely shits the bed without a 1:1 timescale.

>>>/facebook/

I can't remember, are any of their other games in Unity?
If not, it's time to panic.

Their last one was, but that was 2.5d

Guys, i will translate you every fucking thing for torrent or link to download

It's available in english though.

damn, i see something about Cyrillic in this thread. But, nope, -_- may be wrong window of browser

Que?

I'm playing the english version right now.

lol, np, so how download link worked? i don't really understand. if there is no torrents or something else. any security? Just i'm really fan of Pathologic but phisicaly CANT donate to ICP-LODGE

I'm pretty sure the conversation and world characters are identical but because of poor lighting the characters tend to look hideous in the game world in most situations

Performance is horrendous but the game itself looks very nice, I should be able to get a much higher framerate in a game that looks like this, I got an easy 60 in MGSV.

It just came out, if you have Steam crack you can have it, it's 2GB though.

yes. but cracked steam give you just ability to play, not to download it. or i'm wrong?

I will upload in the future.

thank you so much, but really excited to play it now :C

Here's the Classic HD GoG installer magnet:?xt=urn:btih:c57cce1596d625300ab0f40be0fd3728b5eb23fe&dn=Pathologic+Classic+HD+%28GOG%29&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.leechers-paradise.org%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fzer0day.ch%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fopen.demonii.com%3A1337&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Ftracker.coppersurfer.tk%3A6969&tr=udp%3A%2F%2Fexodus.desync.com%3A6969

I've never created a torrent before, is Mega okay?

SURE

2.1 GBs of Dolphin porn coming right up.

If dolphin porn was designed and written by Nikolay Dibovskiy, i will run it on my tv on repeat

still hoping and waiting for

It's still compressing you cuck, and then I have to upload it.

...

ETA una horas

Thanks for this user

They said optimizing for Unity was one of the reasons for the delay. They did use their own in-house engine for the first three games

I don't know, Ospina looks pretty nice up

mega.nz/#!DpUDyIoK!BxLOW2_v2Ee91tNCA_3yr6YnISwtgqXxuwP1hD6WKCM

You must self crack.

The issue is that the lighting in many scenes is poor making the characters look ugly. The third pic was the example, the 4th pic is the same guy with conversation lighting, in the 3rd pic it looks like he's wearing makeup or that his face is painted on, which is kind of true but it shouldn't look that way.

Don't worry about what I have posted, I'm not spoiling anything.

Thank you based user

Ospina's natural pose is lying on the floor? I love that unless she's dead in which case I can't forgive them for killing my favorite character in a demo

I see what you mean, which is a shame, since the atmospheric lighting makes the town and interiors look very nice from what I've seen.

I like the new conversation cameras a lot more than what they were showing in earlier footage. Maybe full-body poses would let the characters be more emotive but that black background and stark spotlight lighting fit the theatrical theme a lot better, and doesn't distract from the lines as much.

Someone on Holla Forums a few days ago said that if you actually had that much you could make a pretty penny. It's supposedly incredibly rare.

Like I said, I haven't spoiled you on anything, you will understand in time.

The lighting will probably be fixed, this is just a pre alpha demo of a segment that isn't even part of the main game, this story is completely self contained, if you play it you will understand.

...

I don't intend to play it and should be avoiding pre-release material more, but I trust you, no spoilers.

If there is one thing in the pre-release material that has me concerned it's Klara's character model, her outfit looks really anachronistic. I mean the original didn't do a very good job of communicating her young age with her character model, but they could have made her look like a teenager without making her look like a punk. And if that guy standing next to her is supposed to be Artemiy he's not nearly ugly enough, he's supposed to have a face like a bull.

It doesn't spoil anything, it's just a demo of the gameplay, the story is interconnected but it at the same time isn't. Aww nigga just play it.
