Hmmmm.

Maybe the monsters will always kill you with one hit so there's no need for medkits or laudanum. This would make monsters even more dangerous.

Or perhaps if you manage to find an unoccupied house, you could take a nap in the bed...

Allows you to get yourself full sanity and health perhaps.


Actually, just dug this up:
veganpeace Wrote:Domestic pigs are rarely aggressive. The only exceptions are sows with a young litter and boars if provoked.

Pigs have a great sense of smell. Their powerful but sensitive snout is a highly developed sense organ. Pigs also have a great field of vision, because their eyes are on the sides of their heads.
Pigs have four toes on each hoof, but only walk on two toes per foot.

A mature pig has 44 teeth.

A pig can run a 7 minute mile.

So if you see a pig:
1) Do not attempt to provoke, no matter how convinced you may be to throw a chair at its back
2) Do not step into a pig's FOV. Sneaking behind it would work wonders.
3) Do not wear any clothing that exposes the skin for bite marks
4) They can smell fear... or sweat. Whichever comes first.
5) If you wanna run, make sure you're fit

I really hope they don't do that. The whole reason the monsters was scary was that they didn't do a full 100% health damage to you, so if you got hit once your screen would go red, making you realise you were going to die (but hadn't yet) causing you to freak out even more. If you were wandering around and then all of a sudden one appeared and you got one hitted, it'd kill the atmosphere for me :/

Did the brutes destroy the atmosphere for you? They can kill you with one hit, you know.

Exactly. If you are killed the immersion is ruined, though there need to be a threat.
You need to stabilize the threat so it's possible for the player to survive, and still having the threat

Trying is the first step to success.

This depends of your playstyle. If you just run around while there are enemies around, you'll probably get killed very fast (the choir main hall, for example). However, if you are careful and play wisely, you will succeed. Unless the enemy jumps in front of you from a closet or something like that, but that won't happen in AAMFP (hopefully Smile )

To be honest, I kinda liked the inventory managing aspect of TDD.
I'm really having a hard time imagining how it will work in AMFP.

Perhaps a better example...
