Got some strategy questions for this game
Posted: Mon Jan 31, 2022 3:32 am
So I'm currently doing my first actual playthrough of this game via PCSX2 (I'd played the demo before when the game was about to come out, and later tried the PC version but was appalled at the gameplay so fell off it again, I pretty much only watched playthroughs on youtube to get the plot and whatnot back then, but I digress...) and I've made it to the point where you rescue/meet Eileen at the Wally World Hospital and decide to "go down further into" Walter, and I've opened up the dirty envelope to get the toy key which opened the box in the subway car to get the coin, which I then took back to the apartment to wash at my sink... Only to then be greeted by another new haunting, and I don't have any candles left to clear it out! I equipped a St Medallion to not take 5 billion proximity damage, but it broke but at least I got the coin washed.
Anyway after all that rambling my question is, boy oh boy are the materials you can get in this game really scarce, so how many more medallions and candles can I expect to find soon? I've cleared out two hauntings so far: the rapidly spinning clock, and the rapidly shuttering window. The current haunting is the bloody shoes that have moved from the door to the kitchen area. I'm kinda having anxiety about having enough candles to not only de-possess Eileen later, but also un-fuck my apartment with the inevitable future hauntings. I've also noticed that the ceiling fan fell down a while ago, and the whole apartment is darker and my health doesn't recover there anymore. Is the health recovery mechanic just always gone at this point, or can it be restored? I get the hunch that it won't return, which might be why I've been finding way more healing items in the levels now, as opposed to the first half of the game where healing items were super rare, probably to encourage more trips to the apartment.
I've been streaming my playthrough mostly because a buddy of mine wanted to see me play it, so here's the links if anyone wants to watch the VODs or future streams when I play it again, which will be pretty soon.
