i finally tracked down my lantern from my first death, but my body wasnt there, or any of my stuff such as the spear. will it be somewhere nearby? i assume the game tracks all your bodies to recover, not just the latest death?
I'm loving what I've been playing so far. If you're still undecided and you're into dungeon crawlers or even things like Diablo 1, I think this game is for you. Just got to Floor 4, can't wait to keep playing :)
I don't usually call out indie games, but the intro in this one is really horrible. What where they thinking with that prolonged boat ride cutscene? Was it supposed to set the mood for the rest of the game? Based on what I just experienced, I have to assume that the developer will expose me to many more self-indulgent "artistic cutscenes" down the line, so I will have to think hard if it makes sense to continue playing the game. Bad first impression!
Next to your corpse but if you also open the map it's on the map part that glows white with a little red dot
I've tried to go back sadly the door is closed... And I clearly remember dying just after while going down :(
Also what's up with the 200 orbs to collect and store on level 3?
I'll be honest, I thought something was wrong. Only released it was a cutscene until I paused it and it had the option to skip. In my opinion it was an awful first impression.
I have my DS4 connected but it doesn't work and I can't see anything in the options. Maybe I'm blind.
Steam games only support Xbox pads via xInput natively most of the time.
To use a DS4, either use the DS4Windows tools or better yet, start Steam in Big Picture Mode and configure it for a PS4 controller. It's in the Steam Controller settings, which doubles as a general controller config tool for all kinds of controllers (Switch Pro Controller etc).
I believe (though I am not sure, because I haven't use it in a while because of native support of Xbox 360/One pads in almost all games) you have to have the Steam Big Picture Mode running for it to work. It might have been changed since.
I just tried it and my DS4 plugged in with USB just worked. The game crashed on me and i needed to reboot but it did that with my wired Hori pad too. I didn't need to use Big Picture Mode but i'd suggest starting BPM and checking the controller settings to see if Playstation Support is clicked. The DS4 always worked wired for me but i did that a while ago to get the correct button icons for a game i was playing.
I don't have DS4Windows so that's not a requirement.
OK... I'm stuck at level 2, lol.
Explored the whole Level, I am sure. Checked the beach and got some shiny thing on the right there ("First light" or something). I assume there is a way to break the wall with crack in the most southern room...? Cant see any other way to level 3.
You can definitely enable Steam Controller emulation for non-Xbox controllers in desktop mode but you have to change a setting or two. I'm not in front of my computer at the moment so I can't tell you exactly how to do it.
i think the southern most room is where the door with the key embossed on it is... only its not a door, it opens stairs. approach from the north (not the south as if it was a door). i must have my gamma/contrast/brightness off, as it always looked like a door that was just out of reach with the ? icon.
Quick question about where to go after floor 4, I feel like I'm missing something,
I've been down to the first light and beat the robot boss and the only other way down I can find jumps me all the way to floor 18. Is this the normal way forward or have I missed something? I saw some folks discuss floor six earlier so seems weird to jump that far down.

Absolutely. At first, I thought that my game was stuck. Then just realized that it was a looooong and booooring intro. With no need.
Very much yes.
We'll be adding this shortly cause we agree.
We'll be changing the balance a little in patches, this is something we'll consider
Also what is up with floor 4. I went 6 rooms deep and not a single piece of Lastly, I really hate the black splotches that appear when you are inside. Makes me think of the old days when video cards would start to fail.[/QUOTE]
We'll be adding an option to remove soon.
Yes, we tested it internally and with a QA company. Bugs get missed. We've been working non-stop since launch fixing things, including Win7 issues. Most of them are fixed.
This really sucks, we agree. we're aware it happens (rarely) and we'll try to resolve.
There's a skip option.
Thanks for all the feedback yall.
Plus Mutant Zero Hour...nice month.All 3 are fucking hard also lol...
so now when i'm dying i'm finding my body AND lantern literally on the beach the ship arrives at. this has happened twice in a row now, is this normal? lol
I like the game for the most part, but the difficulty is really high. I find myself repeating a loop of dying on floor 19, teleporting to the camp before 18, dying because I have crap supplies, making the much longer trek from a shortcut on 2, then finally getting all the stuff just to die on 19 again before getting past the floor. It's becoming tedious but some of the enemies on that floor just wreck me pretty consistently.
Was this
dying after you went down in the *elevator* from floor 4? If so, I'm pretty sure that's because you NEED the lantern to do that part, you wouldn't be able to get back in

How did you get to floor 18? Might answer my question from up the page
Both floor 3 and floor 4 in my game had exits that went straight to it.
Okay same deal for me. Would love to hear from folks who went to floor five and six what floor they arrived there from.
Keep reading the thread, keep wanting more this game. I hope it will be release in other consoles.
Press the map button. It will tell you where your dead body and lantern are. Not exactly but the general direction
Well, I actually died twice, the first one with the lantern, the second due to a friggin trap while searching for the lantern. Now I went to one of the bodies (to the point where the map is red) and it was the second body. So I'm still searching...
I've been playing pretty slow and methodical so far and really enjoying it. I find it to be really meditative.
