I’m like 8 hours in and all I’ve been doing is climbing things, skirting little ledges around buildings to see if I can get higher, and constantly using ping/distract on things on the ground.

I don’t know why. I’ve only found 2 places where I could break a window with a bat and sneak into a building, most floors and buildings seem only for show with no real interior. But… since I know breakable windows and secret entrances and shit exists I can’t stop looking for it.

I’m only level 7, but climbing high and lighting everyone on fire with technomagic is my kind of great combat. I was really surprised to find out that actually lighting people on fire until they run out of health somehow doesn’t count as killing them and they just go “downed”… so I can get the bonus from some quests for not killing, then go back with a katana and dice them up. <3

    Cool, thanks! Idols of Ash looked very interesting but the short playtime gave me pause. Good call on the current sale, I’ll take another gander

      Yeah, I really hope the dev goes on to make a full game with the mechanics. Game gave me sweaty palms while playing, and something about the way the camera moves while you fall a long distance is very immersive. I don’t want to spoil anything, but the game does a good job giving you a sense of dread and urgency.

      I imagine its insane in VR.
