Reludum does not exist anymore. Seriously, he's just not active at all. HOWEVER, someone is working on...PHENOMENON 2!!! They have a Discord server too, join the original P1 Discord here, and for the P2 server, it's probably somewhere in the announcements Phenomenon 2 is beginning development in January 2023. See you, space cowboy.
"If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight!" Carl said that, and I'd say he knows a little more about fighting than you do, pal, because he invented it, and then he perfected it so that no living man could best him in the arena of honor.
Man I love this game! I've figured out a lot of useful things, so here's a list of important stuff~
1. Stealth is, in fact, much better than open conflict- ESPECIALLY on "Survive" levels. Do not, at any time, use your gun unless you see the crazy pig(s).
2. Fear the crazy pigs. They got a gun AND you need two shots to take them out. I believe they're always in a building with a massive stash of resources just behind the corner, so if you REALLY need ammo, healthkits, and food, go for it. But make sure you have about 4 bullets before you go in there, god knows how many pigs there'll be inside.
3. Easiest way to take out crazy pigs is to lure them out by standing there (like a doink) and making them go outside. Then, find a bush and get down before he comes out to look for you and shoot them- it's a lot easier than running around like a crazy pig.
And another thing- This is impossible to play without a mouse, so if you don't have one, start lifting five pound weights with your index finger because god knows you're going to want it if you're using a touchpad.
Pretty much 100% sure that the game is, in fact, a loop. Reasoning: First, the body of the first dead crew member looks like you (just...more dead). Second, the room where the gate slams behind you has a bookcase (top right corner) that notes that there's the word "Remember" carved into it, with (a) tally mark on it. I believe that every time you complete a loop, you get another tally mark, but I'm not going to be the guy that plays the game over 100 times trying to find a secret.
All I can say is... Wow. That was good. I tried all of the possible endings and no matter what path I took, the storytelling was great! The lack of visuals might make it feel a little bland but I loved the minimal text-only story, it left so much to the imagination!
Alright I'm gonna need a sequel to this masterpiece, unless it doesn't fit the storytelling narrative. Either way I still want another sequel.
Still trying to figure out why V,E,S, and Y aren't working. I think it has to do with capitalizing or something, but if you add capitalization variations there are so many possibilities it's not worth testing out every single one.
Oh man, this game is philosophical. There are realistic debates about plausible events, there's humor, there's music, and I can't wait for more! Keep up the good work!
Had the same problem, you could try sudo chmod -R 777. It worked for me, BUT chmod 777 is very very dangerous, mainly because it gives pretty much everyone file access. If anyone could get onto your computer, that means everyone has access to the file you selected with chmod 777.
My point is, chmod 777 if you don't care about your computer. If you do care about your computer uhh... hmm. Not sure about that.
I just realized, this game is entirely based off of luck. Luck that you'll get the health boxes, luck that you'll get the upgrade boxes, luck that the final boss doesn't do his no gravity thing with a gun, and for gun wielders, luck that you get ammo boxes.
The chances of getting an ammo box are very fucking low.
