I couldn't get to the sleepy sign in the library... I assume it required head only status, but I couldn't get hit by the black owls enough times without it causing death.

that's one is really tricky, a good way to do it first time is trying to trigger 4 owls only so you can end up as a head, more then that and you have restart the whole thing. Had to clear up the first two chandeliers so that I got one with only 4 and used the speech command and had them maul me, mind you post game is way easier thanks to the cheats if ya don't wanna bother... :P

In case you can't find the game on your local PSN/Eshop



Keep in mind that the EU-Eshop version is delayed until end of the month anyways.

Heartbreaking, just how hard this release is being screwed up by their publisher.

Yeah, I realized that by accident, lol. Now I just need to figure out how to get the thing moving...
Same, hehe. I think the barrier lowers once you placed the bricks and arm on the cart, maybe you need to activate the device on the right first or it has something to do with the right combination of those power switches. I could pull the cart instantly after placing the 10th item on it.

Again, figured it out right after, lol, just had to pull it.

I found the hidden Sleepys sign too.

Heads up for anyone playing on PC with a high-refresh rate monitor: the physics bug out hard if you try to go over 60fps (the first little drawbridge kept knocking me out of the world when I'd try to crank it). You'll need to lock down your frame rate.

I'm not very far in, but I'm really liking it so far, especially the bizarre tone. The violence feels so intense contrasted with the rest of the narrative. The sequence early on where you have to tear off most of your limbs to counterbalance a board was outright sickening.

her piece on the game is excellent and

i appreciate her take on things as a transwoman, especially. i've been wanting to find a take from someone who this story might resonate with on a more personal level and this is one!

Someone posted this on the Steam forums. Great guide with screenshots for every Donut:

That's awesome! Hopefully it'll reach more people now.

Is it just me or is there a bug on the section with the cymbal bashing monkey? If you collect the 10x doughnuts at the side, you can't get back again as the monkey dude follows you, so if you heal you just fall back again right next to him.

You can get the monkey to fall over if it misses the clap. Try jumping/backing at the right time and it should let you through.

I watched a friend of mine play through the opening last night and I think this game is contender for best late title card of all time.

Still in the fence but I'll see what I get for my borthday today before dropping $40 on this.

I like what I've been hearing about it though.

You get new costumes during the game, lol.
Oh. Well I asked about this twice and this is the first answer I got. So err, thanks for the condescending "lol" that serves no actual purpose other than making you look rude?

Anyway, much like Sine Mora, the story delivered in the second playthrpugh is supposed to add more context.

Are you sure you don't get bonus costumes upon completion? I heard from a few places that was a thing. Like Silent Hill or RE, they help add diversity to subsequent plays.

Not my intent. And I'm positive, I've unlocked several already.
if it wasn't your intent than I'll take your word and not be offended.
So how many and at what intervals do they unlock? And are they interesting like rocker leather jackets or the classic sexist ones we get in a lot of Japanese games like schoolgirl, swimsuit, gothic lolita?

I'd love to see some screenshots

some are tied to collectibles and unlock as you play, a couple of costumes are unlocked from finishing the story once.

the second playthrough also has a new collectible to look for that unlocks extra text messages.

So far just color variations. They're in the gallery too.

Looks cool, I'll probably pick it up when I get my next paycheck.

It's wild that anyone decided to give the premise of Neverdead another swing

Swery's response on Twitter to her tweet and article. Love how active he is on Twitter, it's really cool to get immediate feedback like that from the creative mind behind the game. Swery's the best!

Thanks, yeah I did figure it out in the end. I should have updated.

Have made it to the
bowling alley
now and despite attempting to find and locate every doughnut I realise that I must have missed a ton as I feel close to the end. Every place there are items lying around, I guess you have to interact with them in some way to reveal hidden doughnuts. I didn't realise that until I reached this location and put the shoes in the machine and two popped up. Definitely going to have to replay with a guide to get them all.

I'm going to go against the grain a little as I think the end sequence completely sullies me experience with the game. Up to the final
chase
scene I was blown away, but then I started to become a little too annoyed with it. My irritation started with the
tower climb, with all the intricate jumping and blades, but the final chase really drained. There were too many insta-deaths in there, and replaying the same bit over and over again just became a chore. I can't deny the very conclusion was superb, but that final push over the line was tedious as hell

Compared to a game like Inside, that was perfectly paced and the ending completely served as icing on the cake, whereas I was relieved when this was over.

Am going through collecting the remaining doughnuts and hidden FK messages. Am on the train one now and can't figure out how to get the FK. I can see it, and I guess I have to go back to it after the scene concludes but I can't get back to the remaining carriages. Anyone managed this one?

If it's the one I'm thinking of,
disabling the movement speed cheat can help. You need to go under the train after it runs you over, which won't happen if you're too fast.

Finished the game a little while ago. Wow. I was crying my eyes out at the last segments. What a beautiful game. Never played a Swery game before (this is also the first game I was tasked with reviewing) and I am blown away.

Talk about a game that ends strong. Jesus Christ Im gonna need a long time to sort that, beautiful game.

I also really need these emotes on my phone. Like I feel incomplete without them.
