sort: go back
Oh right, forgot to suggest something: while it's nice that you can set an attack to auto-trigger, I think it'd be even better if that didn't reset between combat encounters.
developer response: Oooh, interesting suggestion. I've definitely seen someone else request this too, I'll poke around in my code and see if I can come up with a toggleable option for this :)
the peak has finally arrived
developer response: Heck yea! :D
I am hard stuck on the hungering flesh. Can anybody help me out?
developer response: The flesh is (mostly) a DPS check. Try then hitting it hard. Alternately, the status effects and , which could be useful
Nice game, but what's the point with different endings ? I've finish it by beating the last fight, but still can't get to the intel event (uncorrupted with 7.5B INT ?!)
I think I miss something, but no clue what it is
developer response: Honestly the endings are there initially to encourage trying out different builds haha. For the intel event, make sure you get all the and you can push int with biomatter in the stage
Reply to dev response: Yeah i mean the Oculus VR headset
me walking around
finds break room
walks out with 100 VR headsets grafted to my face
developer response: Lmao
oh i was just barely able to defeat the first boss.
developer response: Nice! Don't worry, it'll get easier :)
Btw, possibly relevant follow-up tip, make sure you pick up the relevant prestige upgrade, or exploration may be extremely slow for a bit haha
Finally created an account on this site just so I could say that this, THIS is literally PEAK. What a fucking banger game. Beat all endings, and god this shit is so goated I'm so sad it's over. That being said, I'm quite happy by the length of the game. Extremely well paced, good tasty lore, super fun diversity of builds (which they all can work!), and a very interesting twist of idle game mechanics, this game is just cheff kiss.
Thank you Talos for this. Will be looking forward to the stuff you put out. But for now, I guess it's time for A Tale of Poop and Vengeance.
developer response: DAYUM, IM HONESTLY REALLY FLATTERED! Playtime checks out too :0 Definitely brings a smile to my face knowing you enjoyed it this much! There's always revisiting the game in 5 years once the memory of it fades a little :P
A Tale of Poop and Vengeance is admittedly going to be rather underwhelming after coming from BIOTOMATA considering it's my first practice game, but I still hope it'll bring you a sliver more entertainment as this game did! :)
done casually doing breaching the door and now I have all things unlocked
developer response: Congratulations!! Thanks for playing :D
What PRIMED effect does in combat?
developer response: It doubles the damage of your next physical hit. You can mouse over/hold the effect names to view their descriptions :)
this game is better than eating children
developer response: username checks out, truly an honor

developer response: Only so many more iterations left before we get to
So, this game actually blew me away compared to many other idle games here. I can definitely see some influences from Armory & Machine's combat system in this (I loved that game). Managed to get all endings and all achievements, and I love the fact that all the builds work in different ways to beat the final boss(es).
Personally I think there could also be an ending you can get if you find a way to .
This is definitely getting a TvTropes page, it needs one.
developer response: Thank you! Surprisingly enough I've actually never played armoury and machine before, though I HAVE played magic research and Lootun. I might check the game out in a bit! That's definitely a fun trigger for a secret ending lol, though I can't say I can think of a way to incorporate it into the current storyline :p
Also, DAMN I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE'S ACTUALLY A TV TROPES PAGE NOW. That's really neat! Definitely made me feel called out a few times, certainly not in a bad way XD I love how is classified as a and less of a lmao, and I think it's a particularly cool human phenomenon when quite a few players expressed seeing the as the among the other available.
I'd say a couple minor inaccuracies that I have spotted would be in the section, since the journal endings are written from perspective, and in the .
I'm really glad you enjoyed the game!
thank you for making this game, I loved the little touches like how upgrading your would make the picture more clear. also the story in this was so peak
developer response: always warms my heart to hear when the little CSS tweaks are appreciated, thank you for playing <3
OH MY GOD I DIDNT EVEN KNOW DECRYPTING EXISTED
developer response: LOL, I'm high-key impressed you got as far as you did without tasks
Idea: Eye level also affects the images of the unique items.
developer response: :0
Reply to dev comment: I'm on mobile so i cant do any hackerman save editing
and no i dont clear my browser ever otherwise my other games would wipe tll
developer response: Aw, sorry about that. The game saves are in plaintext so you can export -> edit directly -> import if really needed, but I can see how it's clunky
This is amazing. This is almost certainly the best idle/incremental game I've played all year, bar none. 10/10.
developer response: Thank you for playing!!
LETS GO ENDING GALLERY!!!
developer response: YAAAAAAA ENDING GALLERY!!!!!
Is there a secret ending if you resolve the saferoom incident as a human, then mutate into corrupted/eldritch?
It would be very interesting if there was an ending :)
developer response: Haha, nope! You do get extra event text, but it will still route you back to the corrupted ending
