It didn't, but the basic lore of the setting was pretty clearly explained in the TLB >humans steal lotus garden gnomeel >Black Onions attack humanity >they destroy them and build the Primeval Fighter using the garden gnomeel to preemptively wipe out all other aliens >Primeval fighter goes insane and attacks humanity to get revenge, goes by the name Green Orange
It's not a very complex story
I did, it did give me hint of pushing the lorn idol 23 times. I'm asking if there is anything else. I did push the seal 23 times, but i probably miscounted. Is there a way to reset the count?
Reminder to ignore datamining gays and their efforts and focus on solving the riddle and more specifically where the answer must be entered. Hints are:
No one is perfect without me.
I've got nothing to offer, yet I make others look plentiful.
Some can't live without me, for others I'm all there's left.
I can't be shared, yet I'm neverending.
I'm nothing, yet I'm the greatest of them all.
Without me, one is meaningless.
What am I?
Best idea so far is writing the answer as a brand in void language, but then it must be 4 characters or less. Someone should check these hints in finnish to determine if they're the same. change your game to finnish now
Well, the datamined brand cannot be translated unless I'm retarded and am misremembering an important detail about the alphabet.Namely that no letter has the center tile occupied
The datamined tile is the unlock you get given at the end, it's just CC for Cif's Challenge. Whatever the solution to the riddle is, and if you even enter it as a brand, is still a mystery.
who said anything about text, it might as well be new content or something. or do you think this riddle is just pointless?honestly it might be lmao
If it won't come with any more story stuff, who cares?
>dataminers ruined yet another game
A tale as old as time.
I'll see you in the La Mulana 3 threads bros.
Without datamining we wouldn't even know HOW the light orbs spawn. Justice values are hidden from the player.
>Well, the datamined...
stopped reading there gay fuck off back to modding skyrim or something
Fuck you, gays, have fun mulling over your 6 nonsensical cryptic lines that don't mean anything when the only things left to discover are the cut content hidden in the code
In case you're too stupid to understand the irony of your post, let me elucidate: we wouldn't even fucking know if there's more secrets past the 6 crpytic riddle lines, or how done we are with the game at all, if dataminers hadn't spoiled it in the first place
>we wouldn't even fucking know how done we are with the game at all
And that's a good thing because????? I'd rather have the sense of closure and be able to move on thanks
This. Imagine leaving then finding out 2 years later there was some bullshit locked behind even more bullshit that totally changed the ending. Well, I guess they could still add something in an update.
We pretty much beat 98% of the game without datamining, give it a rest.

Half the things in the game impact your justice score. If its negative, you spawn failures, the ayy lmao white things. The more negative it is, the later the spawn. If it's positive, you get light orb spawns, same thing. Shit like pleading guilty, pushing lotus guys off cliffs, going to the womb, it all impacts justice score, and it's global across your save.
La Mulana is the most bullshit puzzle game I had the displeasure of playing, don't compare it to this game that at least hints at everything you need to do
Even the pause the game puzzle was better telegraphed than most la mulana puzzles
>>void Lords were created after the scientists by Add >>the other 7 are all accounted for so Add would be Dr Lily >The entire story was 4D yuri chess for Lily to create babies out of Gray's womb
Shit, you are right.
I guess Add is the random literally who in the middle then?
That or the smug looking guy, one of them has to be Eus.
Unless the middle one is Gray's reincarnation(doesn't look like it, she is way flatter) then the character who set everything in motion is a AI version of some unnamed character.
I think the only questionable ones are Add and Eus, and the middle one looks distinct just like Lev so she is probably Add.
Also I just realized that Dr Lily has the white vanilla continues flower in her skirt.
you can extract them with "undertale mod tool" (see an explanation in a previous thread if you need step-by-step), or download those already-extracted files an anon posted in some previous threads. given the actual artist is uploading them on their own now, maybe they got copyright struck?
eebro is uploading the OST everyday until the official release
bros... we have song titles
these seem to be higher quality than the game itself, although I don't imagine it matters too much for the chiptune, and hopefully a real release comes anyway

Yes, while also refusing to do/take anything that makes the game easier, you know what I'm talking about.
You will bump into every wall without picking up any items nor locusts on NG+, you will be rewarded with nothing, and you will be happy.
If you found all the items yourself without browsing the threads whats the problem? you remind me of that retard from a few threads ago that said the game was boring and he had no fun plowing through the stages while he spoiled every single thing about the game in these threads. all items and shortcuts
>If you found all the items yourself without browsing the threads whats the problem?
No retard, the problem is you're expecting us to play through the game without items in case you get some secret for doing so. And well, we did, nothing happened. So what's next? Play without items AND few more restrictions? That might be exactly what we need to do, right?
Yeah, we just don't wanna bother going that far.
I played 60 hours, just don't feel like playing 600. We reached the point where we were left with totally random bullshit to find the remaining secrets. We datamined and surprise, it WAS totally random bullshit.
But if you insist you would've found that last 1% through pure trial and error, carry on, sorry for ruining your "fun", I guess...

Remember to gatekeep harder next time. I fully expected this when people started recommending the game to random goyslop posters in these threads.
>gatekeep
the fun was over as soon as people started reposting solutions from the official discord that was about a day ahead of us in terms of discoveries
the only thing i can remember the discord was ahead of the threads was the finding out what the snake mural is and even then there were multiple anons already coming really close to figuring it out by the time it got posted here. everything just snowballed hard after that
It genuinely was like 2-3 turboautists there who rushed through NG+ and NG++ before people here even finished NG+. That is unless someone did and just hasn't spoiled Cif for us.
But yeah the snake brand was a bit of an equalizer, but again, their turboautists cleaned up that too.

So about DIS I was in the shmup now, fought a final boss, got absorbed and then was a slow moving dot until i got hit and now credits roll? Did i fuck up or is this seriously the ending?
I don't know what the fuck just went on. that was wild.
I cleared DIS last night and I have no idea if I got the "extended" ending or not, I totally went up to him and hit Z but it felt like I might have gotten hit instead? What's the difference in the endings?
I JUST solved this. Only thing i remember is removing the middle tile as the final action. Manuever the bulls somehow so they're in the middle row on the opposite sides
Ok, I give up. As big horns I tried to collect the locust as the wall painting said, played through stages, met the fat mortal with freckles a few times, saw that i arrived at stage with 2 locust short, switched floor number with locust number to have enough retroactively.
But then the fat mortal didn't show up anymore. So I thought I fucked the whole process up, skipped to the last mural exit, went down into the white rooms past B256 and met some girl with an open head, where I didn't know what to do.
Tried to get caught by DIS in the white rooms did nothing, quit and started new.
And so now my questions:
Can I cheat by switching numbers and still complete that locust collecting thing?
Does cheating cancel the fat mortal quest?
What the hell am I supposed to do with the head?
Can you give me a general direction?
Please no spoilers. Thank you.
>datamining
I'm just going to ignore all that and continue playing on my own. Still exploring the game as Gray getting the fruits and finding secrets before jumping into a NG+ voided no items run.
>ignor datamine posts >have no clue to what those posts pertain
WOW that was so hard...
currently still on ng+ and also did some secrets with gray before jumping in as lillie and im enjoying finding out things for myself
Yeah I've been reading the spoiler talk on occasions and am stilll not sure what most of what people are talking about. I found some weird, random stuff so I'm just going to catalog my findings and post what I see. Like pic related
Also I'm short 24 something crystals, and I'm pretty sure some of those are hidden under random tiles.
doing OstRanger. do 1 run and see i almost beat the high score. do 2nd run and i see that i have more points than the number 1 score so why am i not above. realize i am missing 1 million points. well fuck i guess its time to look for secrets and shit
Well that was cute.
What else to do now? i got: Gray voided
Gray normal ending
gray Egg/Carcass thing that led to some weird alien ending
Gray DIS
Gray Dev ending
Lillie ending where she's leaving with Lily
Cif ending where she finds Bee at some beach.
Anything major missing besides doing DIS again as Lillie. and play 0st Ranger now i suppose.
I just got here and I am not leaving until I figure out what the fuck this room is for. Unless I'm not supposed to see anything, in which case I guess I'll go fuck myself again.
In NG+, am I supposed to reach the bottom without upgrades or should I look around for things?
Because all the chests with the upgrades are empty and I don't want to have to go through the whole thing without upgrades twice if possible.
if you go from ng to ng+ the chests will be empty. if you die and use the brand to start in ng+ you can get all the items. afaik there is no difference so its up to you if you want to get to the end without items or not
Is this the only way? feels a bit cheesy and besides I don't know how to die or what brand you mean. The only one I have is from the ending with the carcass Will they respawn if I finish the dungeon?
Did all of these, including Baba's true ending and ESA's secret hunting
Maybe I should try to mess up with LM2's boss order because I haven't done an early Echidna kill yet
Schizo games are too rare for how addictive they are unfortunately
Hempuli is working on a sequel to ESA, but there's no telling when that's coming out.
Animal Well is expected to be schizocore, but that's not out until early 2024. I'm sure Dunkey's involvement with it might put some people off, but I expect it to be good.

Schizo games are too rare for how addictive they are unfortunately
It's not schizocore but Paquerette: Down the Bunburrows is another recent top down sokoban-ish puzzle game with a fuckload of content and lots of "breaking the rules" mechanics not too dissimilar from swapping UI values in this game. It probably would have been my puzzle game of the year but with Void Stranger it's a tough competition. It's very lighthearted though and has essentially no story, so keep that in mind.
This one's pretty good, the dialogue is mostly fucking terrible but the story is basically absent as you say so that's not a big deal. Seems like there's a huge pool of optional(?) collectibles if you wanna go all in on the puzzles.
Point and click/VN with time travel and parallel universes.
You find a locked door on one route, so you have to look for a key on the other routes, that sort of thing. You can set a marker down at any point and warp back to that point whenever you want.
There are some situations where you can die, and there's another time traveler who tries to hunt you down and kill you, but worst case you just get sent back to the start and you get to keep all your items, so it's no big deal.
I got through that level and a few other, don't worry. I was expecting it to get much worse. There's way too much trial and error going on right now but I guess it's something like the ultimate challenge.
Yeah you REALLY have to plan out what you do, theres also a few where you can easily overthink it like that one, almost all of em require damn near perfection too
>floor 189 >just now realized you have a couple seconds grace period to back back onto a tile if you accidentally step off >whole time I thought Gray's cartoon pedaling in air was just a static animation
kill me
I love it, wish more games like this had a grace period for you to make a mistake. It would be nice if more platformers had that so you don't just make a small slip of the control stick with no indication you were already on the edge.
Sokuban-like puzzle game where you flip tiles to make your way to the exit on different floors. It has a lot of secrets and mechanics that you are supposed to discover on your own, which is with all the spoiler text. Also a lot of us getting stuck and asking for help so we spoil the solution to let the anon figure it out on their own if they want.
Also
I entered NG+. I still had some murals left to go through and I have no idea what to do with B000. Will I still be able to figure everything out? Is NG+ required to figure it out?
i'm baffled how people don't immediately get what they're supposed to do. like isn't your first instinct to hit the small, clearly highlighted adds of a big boss fight? like this is some video-gaming 101 shit
Alright i did not think I'd ask it at any point, but can anyone help me on this one ?
It's defintively a spoiler if you are on your first ten-fifteen hours. You've been warned.
On the left is the base of the level, on the right is the best I could do. Can I have a hint ? not necessarily a full solution, but at least a hint for what I should do / where I should start.
place button above enemy. bait him right, up and then circle around to the left and enter the stairs
Thank you kindly, to the both of you.
Funny how your solutions are exactly opposite. Gonna try again
place button above enemy. bait him right, up and then circle around to the left and enter the stairs
because that's what I initially thought to do.
If anyone wonder for this one too, there is a thread on the Steam forum of the game about it, with both a video for solution and just hints.
you might want to have a nice day and start again with your items unless youre dedicated to doing this without them, if you somehow haven't unlocked them yet, please solve the murals
I'm not sure I understand how it works. I had the items with Gray, but don't with her. I'm voided so I'm dead. Or is it about getting back to the main menu and using the item brands ? Either way, I might continue a bit without these... Unless it's mandatory to get something, maybe.
Find a funny reset statue and place stairs under them to unvoid yourself I guess, yeah you need to get back to the beginning and input all the brands
I believe every single standard ng+ puzzle is solvable without items, the most difficult floors in ng+ are the ones where you cant use them but itll make the ones where you can use them significantly easier
the items are in the same location. The big issue is if you continued straight from finishing Gray all the event flags and chests stay set so you can't get the items you got as gray. If you start straight as Lillie with her brand you can find them in their usual spot.
t. i did that. still challenging enough until you get the wings and sword.

from what i've heard, aren't the chests still empty even if you go itemless as gray? so either getting the items as gray on your winning unvoided run is canon, or there's some weird shit going on.

Well indeed, I just went to the B67 brand location, and there was no wings.I'll continue with no item to see where I can go...
Not much to help you with here, you're just gonna have to buck up and go back down.

What do.
Same except I want to know the plot but the puzzles are killing me.
I went as far a B72 but after I single-memory'd myself by mistake I decided to cheat and grab my items right from the start
I'll probably still try to beat it without but at least that'll help me catch up to where I was.
Honestly it's dumb that they don't get transferred and that the chests are empty, they should've designed ng+ with those in mind.
I reached floor 255 unvoided was that alphabet used anywhere in the game before it's introduced? Don't think I saw shit written like that anywhere Should I continue playing with the new character or keep fucking around with Gray first?
Yeah, it's used all over the place. Cube translates it for you though. If you've got 3 items you're good for NG+, just die to go back and input them. If you don't, might be worth playing Gray again.
the alphabet was right there each time you checked the murals.
[spoiler]though, you don't need to worry about it too much yourself, assuming you got a certain item. 99% of stuff you see is auto-translated by it.[/spoiler]
its used in some very minor places, and not really to 'solve' anything unless you took a super weird route through the game. I wouldn't worry about it at all
the void memory translates pretty much all of it for you
Oh, it's highlights on the boxes in murals?
The way they actually used 26 whole floors to introduce that I thought it's gonna be a really big deal, what's the point if the cube translates all that
the alphabet was right there each time you checked the murals.

I was following some footsteps while playing as Cif. They disappeared after a few levels. Do I need to keep going or did I miss something? I looked everywhere in the level they disappeared in case I could bump into something invisible but I couldn't.
You might be overthinking it, spawn a follower from the first line of tiles, use the smile enemy to block the sight of tower by humping the wall, then pass him, then use the smile enemy again to block the worm from killing itself, then time your escape by making sure the follower is behind you before the worm moves away from the tower
I got wings, cube and sword, are those the items? I didn't finish the two last murals or the seal thing. Also whatever the thing is at B000 makes me really want to figure that shit out.
That's them. I would just keep going, but if you really want you can continue though the solutions are much more obvious if you do the rest and you can definitely find stuff in the next playthrough that will apply
You can't locust warp, which locks you out of a few floors, on top of making going around the place a bit slower
You can't see the shortcut merchant
You also don't have control over locust skips

It seems to be tied to the floor instead of watching them in order.
The first cutscene introduces you to the characters and their relationship. You can always go back later to that floor and rewatch it anyway.
the statue is only a "pseudo" reset, it resets your locust count, floor number, and also makes you pick the rod back up, but it's otherwise basically just a warp to floor 1
egg actually ENDS your run, sending you back to the title screen and making you actually fully start over
So it's a way to game over with void/infinite locust? Makes sense

egg actually ENDS your run, sending you back to the title screen and making you actually fully start over
Okay, this time I am really stumped. I can't figure out which ones to leave alive for the mimic to stay ahead of me for the second trap
With spoilers this time
Leave the first middle tile untouched The spot where the statue is can be used to desync movements
From there it's a lot more straightforward than you think
I'm frankly tired of the game by now. Someone solve this floor for me. I'm almost out of locust too.
[...]
Someone posted a webm a few threads ago. Desync with the golem, go down, it goes up, push first beam tower away, destroy a few hands in the middle to open a path, swap places with golem and get in the spot the tower was, use that spot move golem to second beam tower.
You want the middle row free for the golem's trip to the right.
Is there like a super shortcut? Like an omega giga bottom of the dungeon shortcut? I saw the mural input room in the no void run at the bottom has the same frame as the player mural and I wonder what happens if I match it up
there's a super shortcut by putting Lev's brand in the first mural room but i believe it requires the super rod. there's also probably a big jump you can do with the 53 mural room
you can input any mural brand into any of those 6x6 rooms and it'll warp you around, though in some cases it can be pretty tricky (if not impossible in some cases)
There's a brand that teleports you to floor 190 something, but I don't think you can do it without [spoiler]wings[/spoiler]
It's not really a "brand that teleports you" but more "you can input any brand of the 6x6 rooms and it will instawarp you to the corresponding floor", people like to use the second one with the glass panels to input latter ones for easy skip
Oh nevermind, I have no clue what to do. I thought I could fight dis in the world you get thrown into when you remove the B number from your UI.
Any hints?
It's pretty much la mulana 3 so if you're into cryptic puzzle adventures it's perfect. You can also play it normally though, without checking secrets, the game will tell you, and you can't miss anything
I did get a ton of enjoyment out of Baba Is You so this does seem like it's up my alley. I'm just kinda bummed because anons dogpiling into mysteries is the greatest shit on this website, the early days of Noita were so much fun and it looks like I'm a bit late on this one.
yes, not so much I found the first one pretty much jumps at you and from then on most of the stuff just rolls.
There are just a few that are really giga autistic.
How autistic do you need to be to figure out the secrets? Should I have been screenshotting all these weird inscriptions I come across?
yes to screenshot all the hints and murals you come across I mean.
It's not nearly as extensive as in la-mulana though, so don't worry too much about having to set up a whole libary or something.

>Fuck. Should I start over, or can I go back later?
Nothing in the game is perma-missable afaik. In fact, I'd say the developers were fully aware that most people wouldn't pay that much attention to a lot of things at first. Just keep playing and things will start falling into place eventually. You'll know for sure when you *need* to start figuring stuff out.
La-Mulana but it's puzzles and it's straight forward and easier to get the secrets. You can play normally and just note everything you feel is cryptic and might be useful for later.
Just a tip: Don't try to cheat the game in anyway, accept your choices even if they might be bad, the game will berate you about not playing it correctly if you try to cheat.

I respect the tedium as a game design choice, after all, I could be resetting in seconds by just jumping down a pit, but good god it does get to you on some floors.
back up your saves manually in folders if you really want to cheat the game, that way you won't be judged if you just spend 15 locust, find the solution, and then copy paste your save when you still had them
did you find any such room in that domain? It is there but hidden
Further hint pay attention to floor numbers
Spoiler floor 223 is missing
Ah I'm such a brainlet. The worst thing is i made screenshots of all floors in that domain - which would fit into 6x6 - for my archieve and did go full inspector deck on them tried for hours to recreate things, fuck around, leave things out and so on. Maybe I should have made screenshots of all the floors.
Anyway I guess that's not the only floor missing, so I keep an eye on that.
Btw I just started another Gray run to see if I find anything new, skipped to floor 0 at the first tree, got the floor 1 crystal, found bee standing around on a floor, run to her and push her into the abyss.
Guess I restart again.
Another thing, I found 6 or 7 secret fruits and have absolutely no idea what the fuck they do, if they are listed somewhere or if they are only relevant later. I also threw some statue into the abyss and some succubus with a heart showed up. That never happened again, even with other characters. What's up with that?
Please no super spoilers.
What's the easiest way to warp back to the start after reading cif's note/clue in her room? is it going to a Hispanicy staircase? Or does that undo the check on the note?
>get stuck on a puzzle for more than ten minutes

I just 'finished' the game for the first time. I've got some questions. At some point I saw a screenshot with multiple weapons and I'm aware of the existence of the Void Blade but I've failed to get it as Gray. Am I fucked? As Gray is there only that one 'ending'?
>As Gray is there only that one 'ending'? there's one for voided, and one for unvoided
[spoiler]there's also the egg in the void, though that ending's shared between characters
there's definitely no other endings for gray besides those two 🙂[/spoiler]
alright bros looking for guidance super lategame I've done DIS as gray but I'm kind of at a loss of what to do next. i recieved a brand after the credits but it doesn't accept it when i try to enter it. should i just go do DIS as lily next?
maybe, you need to bait the bull down the corridor, pick up the button, and eventually play back-and-forth to move the hole to a position that traps the bull in front of the button.
why are you going to 223 and then back?
anons here said I needed to read the note to start the seal-breaking sequence.
ok, can someone post a decent or up-to-date warp map?[spoiler]
I want to get to the dev room/DIS stuff as quickly as possible and it seems like I am spending way too much time fucking around with the boring puzzles I beat dozens of hours ago, going through the motions. It just seems getting to B223, then back, then to the tail/gor rooms AND then B000, takes way too long and easy to fuck up.[/spoiler]
>play through the game >reach the end >told to "seek the black idol" or something >game starts over >die >tell the bat I give up >game starts over >get "infinity brand" >enable it, no idea what it does >game starts over again >seems no different than my first playthrough so far other than having infinite locusts
I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing or supposed to be doing. Should I just keep playing through the whole game again or what?
>I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing or supposed to be doing.
you're doing what you are "supposed" to be doing, you're supposed to beat the game without getting VOIDed your second time through and find the secret items. the murals hold the key, they correspond to specific 6x6 rooms you have to make the shape of and fall down into (the stairs can't be there).
Did datamining reveal ANYTHING these threads didn't discover on their own? I thought we 100%'d the game already. except beating the hard-mode 0stRANGER final boss.
Can someone please explain to me the brands? I know I can input one to play as Lillie but I'm not allowed to input the others, it looks like other characters always tell me off them.
its very simple after you test it. enter any unlocked special brand twice in a row to activate it. you can do this with multiple brands in one single run.
the only brands that don't stack are the NG+ and NG++ brands.
if you enter a blank/invalid brand as your final/personal brand, that de-selects all the special game brands you input because fuck you.
Uh how I actually unlock more special Brands then? Please don't spoil me just tell me if it's something I'm missing, is it a mechanic that will be explained further into NG+?
I'll tell you because it's counterintuitive and had no idea either. have a nice day and refuse the given offer. When you start a new run you'll be given a brand for each item you've acquired.
1 week ago
Anonymous
Every time I died I would refuse the offer and have to start over that's how I got the unvoided ending. I never got any 'items', are you refering to the Void Blade? Just say yes or no I'll figure out to get the actual thing myself
Is there any reason to do NG+ normally? I've seen people post some screenshots of lilith talking and even some about some friendly NPC, but I was so fucking done with doing everything again that I skipped more than half the floors.
I killed the one maggot on the floor and the statues are still blocking the way to the stairs.The kid is here and won't give me any more dialogue. I don't like what the game seems to be implying here.
guys what am i supposed to do after beating ng++ as cif, it made me start the game over with cif and bee on the beach and i dont know what brands to put in or how to progress more
They should turn from grey to white if you entered them correctly (twice). Just make sure to not leave your own brand blank or it'll reset anything you've entered.
Can't really seem to be able to find a solution where I can drop the 2 statues to be able to use my wand freely and talk with the stone,am I missing something obvious?
I tried that, I eventually run into this issue, sure I can move the snake block to cover the path, but I can't move the anti-wand statue around much or it'll get stuck at the walls
You don't need to place a single block to talk to the statue nor leaving
I'm really unsure what you mean, you're forced to take away your block so you can't speak to the rock until you put it back down
If you only push in the very top and bottom adamant statues, then activate the disappearing floor previously under them, you can push the snake statue left to create ground, which will itself bridge to the unactivated disappearing floor. This floor which will now be connected to the disappearing floor you're standing on, and which you can connect to the other staff statue.

the corner needs a normal tile, not a trap tile. you can only get a normal tile from the eus statue. you also need to have two activated trap tiles on the way to the normal tile so you have somewhere to put the activated trap tile that tan is sitting on somewhere else. finally, you need an unactivated trap tile to replace the activated tile tan is sitting on.
Finally finished the game for real now, god what an incredible game
how do I unlock the 0st ranger I keep hearing about? just went through the devroom and thought I'd find it there
How are you fuckers this stupid?
Just conga and gather them 6 at a time.
Your last one should be from the lower right corner of the right 6, then step right, down, and go clockwise to the exit.
I just finished my first playthrough(technically second because voided) and now I'm playing as the second character. I just have one question, are there any other jumpscares like with Gray's last tree?
Fuckers, it was less scary and more unexpected. what do I do in this room? I must be missing something. I delay the first snake by hitting the wall and then kill it with the sword, but then what? I can't go and pick up a block to get to the stairs because the shadow clone is on my ass.
iirc
approach the fork, rod. create a bridge at the fork.
stall until snake on row 2 is at the end square on his left, grab the tile between him and your 2x2. from there, create a 5 tile. grab a tile from the right and create a 6. you now can maneuver however you'd like. trap the top row snake as you did the bottom row and move to the end of the first row with a tile in hand to complete the floor.
go to the square on the right, do a u-turn, pick up a square before turning downward, pick up a square while you're u-turning around the bottom square, carry it upwards back to the square on the right
Uhhg. I beat the game once and i lost my save file. I dont wanna do my entire first playthrough again, im not sure if im just gonna quit.
The first playthrough requires you to beat the game, im assuming the second requires you to beat the game while alive? Does anyone have the infinite locust password? Is it even worth me playing over?
>It's really not that bad, but yeah.
It's more a principle of fearing that I'd ruin the game for myself by having it be ballbustingly hard.
Also involving the stuff I never paid attention to like what to do with Tail and the snake brand(I solved the puzzle but didn't input it), and whatever happens on B000 and the seals, should I wait until I'm back as Gray to do this or should I be doing it with both characters? I feel like doing it as Gray with the easier floors should be less of a heartache unless shit changes with Lillie.
Is there any way to restart the game after you've died and hit continue?
Don't worry about it. Just keep holding on and holding on and holding on.
take the ol' Hispanicy staircase then die
or the secret void ending
if it's your first time through don't worry about it, reaching the end while voided is its own thing
This will kill me right?
I don't want to lose any locust.
Pause the game
Cif > Bee
does anyone have the statue order for the final stage of DIS saved somewhere?
oh shit, i never noticed the blocks have the alphabet cipher on them
I beat ZeroRanger and not for a second thought that game had any form of story beyond generic shmup mumbo jumbo.
It didn't, but the basic lore of the setting was pretty clearly explained in the TLB
>humans steal lotus garden gnomeel
>Black Onions attack humanity
>they destroy them and build the Primeval Fighter using the garden gnomeel to preemptively wipe out all other aliens
>Primeval fighter goes insane and attacks humanity to get revenge, goes by the name Green Orange
It's not a very complex story
did you fight the monk guy
I'm stuck again, I really want to finish that run today. Any hint?
Pause the game.
if you're stuck, why not pause the game and go for a snack or something
this doesn't work + i want to see the story
>this doesn't work
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHC1230OpOg
yes. t. just took a day long break and still very much stuck
you must not be at that puzzle yet, then.
press Enter.
Sorry bro but your wing pixel art is cringe tier bad and isn't convincing anyone. Might as well stop posting this shit mr. baal
Stuck on the same place and those hints just makes me angry. What a complete fucking horseshit ""puzzle""
Am I not supposed to be able to get to these chests, at least not yet? Or not ever and they're just bait?
Light the fuse.
>the remix of the main theme that plays during the shmup section
That was a fun game
Was DIS the Lotus garden gnomeel or some form of recreation of it? I'm not sure how the Dr Lily timeline works regarding Despair / Primeval Fighter
Am I doing this right or am I cooking too hard?
edges of the screens need to line up
Get the patch you dirty pirate.
What are you talking about? I actually did pirate it though
Patch your copy, take new screenshots. And learn to spoiler your shit.
is there any reason for me to do DIS again in ng+?
Now with spoilers:
After the solving snake mural.
What am i supposed do here?
Talk.
I did, it did give me hint of pushing the lorn idol 23 times. I'm asking if there is anything else. I did push the seal 23 times, but i probably miscounted. Is there a way to reset the count?
NVM, i can just die without consequences here
A seal is not an idol.
Was it 6 times? If not then i have no idea. I left the floor already anyway
eebro is uploading the OST everyday until the official release
bros... we have song titles
Reminder to ignore datamining gays and their efforts and focus on solving the riddle and more specifically where the answer must be entered. Hints are:
No one is perfect without me.
I've got nothing to offer, yet I make others look plentiful.
Some can't live without me, for others I'm all there's left.
I can't be shared, yet I'm neverending.
I'm nothing, yet I'm the greatest of them all.
Without me, one is meaningless.
What am I?
Best idea so far is writing the answer as a brand in void language, but then it must be 4 characters or less. Someone should check these hints in finnish to determine if they're the same. change your game to finnish now
Reminder that it's pointless given we've already confirmed there's no more text that loads from the script anyway. Maybe it's in strings.
who said anything about text, it might as well be new content or something. or do you think this riddle is just pointless?honestly it might be lmao
Well, the datamined brand cannot be translated unless I'm retarded and am misremembering an important detail about the alphabet. Namely that no letter has the center tile occupied
>Well, the datamined...
stopped reading there gay fuck off back to modding skyrim or something
The datamined tile is the unlock you get given at the end, it's just CC for Cif's Challenge. Whatever the solution to the riddle is, and if you even enter it as a brand, is still a mystery.
If it won't come with any more story stuff, who cares?
Without datamining we wouldn't even know HOW the light orbs spawn. Justice values are hidden from the player.
I am NOT learning finnish to solve a fucking puzzle DIE
why is Lillie flat as a cutting board when she gets absorbed by ADD?
the princess has bigger tits than Lillie.
>dataminers ruined yet another game
A tale as old as time.
I'll see you in the La Mulana 3 threads bros.
what was ruined by datamining, exactly?
Fuck you, gays, have fun mulling over your 6 nonsensical cryptic lines that don't mean anything when the only things left to discover are the cut content hidden in the code
In case you're too stupid to understand the irony of your post, let me elucidate:
we wouldn't even fucking know if there's more secrets past the 6 crpytic riddle lines, or how done we are with the game at all, if dataminers hadn't spoiled it in the first place
If you thought there was seriously anything notable left, you were a retard anyway.
If they take the balls you lose the game and it wipes your save. Be careful, you can't lose one.
>if they take your balls.
what i mean is, does getting a high score do anything?
Nah.
>we wouldn't even fucking know how done we are with the game at all
And that's a good thing because????? I'd rather have the sense of closure and be able to move on thanks
This. Imagine leaving then finding out 2 years later there was some bullshit locked behind even more bullshit that totally changed the ending. Well, I guess they could still add something in an update.
>I WANT to spend weeks coming up with schizo theories that lead nowhere!
It's time to move on man.
We pretty much beat 98% of the game without datamining, give it a rest.
Quick rundown on justice?
Half the things in the game impact your justice score. If its negative, you spawn failures, the ayy lmao white things. The more negative it is, the later the spawn. If it's positive, you get light orb spawns, same thing. Shit like pleading guilty, pushing lotus guys off cliffs, going to the womb, it all impacts justice score, and it's global across your save.
La Mulana is the most bullshit puzzle game I had the displeasure of playing, don't compare it to this game that at least hints at everything you need to do
Even the pause the game puzzle was better telegraphed than most la mulana puzzles
>input pic related
>go into a room where i can't fucking go anywhere but straight down to the stairs
>t-thanks?
>>void Lords were created after the scientists by Add
>>the other 7 are all accounted for so Add would be Dr Lily
>The entire story was 4D yuri chess for Lily to create babies out of Gray's womb
Dr Lily looks exactly like Lev to me, down to her haircut, spooky eyes and not showing her mouth
Shit, you are right.
I guess Add is the random literally who in the middle then?
That or the smug looking guy, one of them has to be Eus.
Unless the middle one is Gray's reincarnation(doesn't look like it, she is way flatter) then the character who set everything in motion is a AI version of some unnamed character.
It goes Lev, Gor, Mon, Bee(?), Add(?), Eus(?), Tan, and Cif. I can't see the rest being in any other order.
I think the only questionable ones are Add and Eus, and the middle one looks distinct just like Lev so she is probably Add.
Also I just realized that Dr Lily has the white vanilla continues flower in her skirt.
so i just finished the Lillie shmup section. what the fuck am i looking at here? Should try to get the highest score or it doesnt make any difference?
I'm scared to exit a brane in DIS' lair.
Will my progress be saved? I don't know what bullshit the game can pull on me anymore.
>the guy with the entire OST removed it
FUCK HIM
His channel got deleted
Probably by the CCP
you can extract them with "undertale mod tool" (see an explanation in a previous thread if you need step-by-step), or download those already-extracted files an anon posted in some previous threads. given the actual artist is uploading them on their own now, maybe they got copyright struck?
these seem to be higher quality than the game itself, although I don't imagine it matters too much for the chiptune, and hopefully a real release comes anyway
im taking a guess and I think it was because it had ad revenue
>there are people in this very thread that would genuinely just play games on autopilot and have some dataminer tell them everything
These threads really did go to shit after 2-3 days
>get BTFO
>cowardly make a vague passive-aggressive post without quoting anyone
lol
>BTFO
not even the same anon, but youre a goddamn retard playing the wrong games
Love this idiot as well
>i dont know what to do
>i know, i will just cheat because fuck it
If you found all the items yourself without browsing the threads whats the problem? you remind me of that retard from a few threads ago that said the game was boring and he had no fun plowing through the stages while he spoiled every single thing about the game in these threads. all items and shortcuts
>If you found all the items yourself without browsing the threads whats the problem?
No retard, the problem is you're expecting us to play through the game without items in case you get some secret for doing so. And well, we did, nothing happened. So what's next? Play without items AND few more restrictions? That might be exactly what we need to do, right?
Yeah, we just don't wanna bother going that far.
bro, we get it, you don't like playing the game, don't worry, someone else will
I played 60 hours, just don't feel like playing 600.
We reached the point where we were left with totally random bullshit to find the remaining secrets. We datamined and surprise, it WAS totally random bullshit.
But if you insist you would've found that last 1% through pure trial and error, carry on, sorry for ruining your "fun", I guess...
what uber secrets are you even talking about? im genuinely curious
>"we"
you mean you and your epic hacker bro? fuck off and don't come back next time and let people who care about these type of games have their fun, it's clearly not for you
>And well, we did, nothing happened.
lmfao no you didn't you disingenuous moron
>"we" datamined and surprise, it WAS totally random bullshit.
it wasn't anywhere near being "totally random bullshit" in case you're referring to the relatively simple but hidden hidden karma system
Right, sorry for datamining the ending before you even launched the game, my bad homie. Completely ruined the threads by spoiling everything possible, after everything possible was already found. Can't wait to do it in the next game.
Go fuck yourself. I did every possible thing in the game first, what else am I meant to do? Butt my head against every wall in the game looking for a solution to the riddle?
Yes, while also refusing to do/take anything that makes the game easier, you know what I'm talking about.
You will bump into every wall without picking up any items nor locusts on NG+, you will be rewarded with nothing, and you will be happy.
>bump into every wall
this ain't la mulana
I bet you haven't even tried to solve the riddle
Remember to gatekeep harder next time. I fully expected this when people started recommending the game to random goyslop posters in these threads.
>gatekeep
the fun was over as soon as people started reposting solutions from the official discord that was about a day ahead of us in terms of discoveries
>official discord was about a day ahead of us in terms of discoveries
Damn, we really fucked up hard, huh?
It genuinely was like 2-3 turboautists there who rushed through NG+ and NG++ before people here even finished NG+. That is unless someone did and just hasn't spoiled Cif for us.
But yeah the snake brand was a bit of an equalizer, but again, their turboautists cleaned up that too.
the only thing i can remember the discord was ahead of the threads was the finding out what the snake mural is and even then there were multiple anons already coming really close to figuring it out by the time it got posted here. everything just snowballed hard after that
So about DIS
I was in the shmup now, fought a final boss, got absorbed and then was a slow moving dot until i got hit and now credits roll? Did i fuck up or is this seriously the ending?
I don't know what the fuck just went on. that was wild.
If you go over Lev's chest and press Z, you get the full ending sequence. It's not that much more, you could always do it with the other character.
are the DIS levels the same with Lillie?
Yeah. Just changes the ending a bit.
I cleared DIS last night and I have no idea if I got the "extended" ending or not, I totally went up to him and hit Z but it felt like I might have gotten hit instead? What's the difference in the endings?
Why didn't the Manusya just leave the Lotus garden gnomeel for everyone?
Lust for power, greed, idiocy, manipulations by the garden gnomeel itself. Take your pick.
everything regarding Lillie route is just depressing. fuck is this shit, everything just sucks no matter the ending
Wait, did you go from Grey route into Lillie DIS? Usually you just get one sprite there.
gray and lillie have different Shmup sections and special tid bits. pic is one of them
help.
I JUST solved this. Only thing i remember is removing the middle tile as the final action. Manuever the bulls somehow so they're in the middle row on the opposite sides
i can get both bulls to the middle row on opposite sides but i am having trouble having a free rod when i do so.
are those locusts in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
You tried, but I don't think it's possible to make Mon attractive.
disregard that anon, I will fap to Mon's bananatits
Nice
What if Lev merges with Add/Gray or Add/Lillie during the memory sequence, and then when Add/X disappears Lily gets LEV'd?
Ok, I give up.
As big horns I tried to collect the locust as the wall painting said, played through stages, met the fat mortal with freckles a few times, saw that i arrived at stage with 2 locust short, switched floor number with locust number to have enough retroactively.
But then the fat mortal didn't show up anymore. So I thought I fucked the whole process up, skipped to the last mural exit, went down into the white rooms past B256 and met some girl with an open head, where I didn't know what to do.
Tried to get caught by DIS in the white rooms did nothing, quit and started new.
And so now my questions:
Can I cheat by switching numbers and still complete that locust collecting thing?
Does cheating cancel the fat mortal quest?
What the hell am I supposed to do with the head?
Can you give me a general direction?
Please no spoilers. Thank you.
>>As big horns I tried to collect the locust as the wall painting said,
Wait, what are you talking about?
As Cif i tried to get the number of locust like it says in the MON WAS HERE thingy.
I don't even think you can do that as Cif. What you should be doing instead is talking to the NPCs for a few hints.
Thanks anon. Ill do that.
>datamining
I'm just going to ignore all that and continue playing on my own. Still exploring the game as Gray getting the fruits and finding secrets before jumping into a NG+ voided no items run.
>ignor datamine posts
>have no clue to what those posts pertain
WOW that was so hard...
currently still on ng+ and also did some secrets with gray before jumping in as lillie and im enjoying finding out things for myself
NG+ is lillie though anon. Gray is always normal ng
Yeah I've been reading the spoiler talk on occasions and am stilll not sure what most of what people are talking about. I found some weird, random stuff so I'm just going to catalog my findings and post what I see. Like pic related
Also I'm short 24 something crystals, and I'm pretty sure some of those are hidden under random tiles.
doing OstRanger. do 1 run and see i almost beat the high score. do 2nd run and i see that i have more points than the number 1 score so why am i not above. realize i am missing 1 million points. well fuck i guess its time to look for secrets and shit
Well that was cute.
What else to do now? i got:
Gray voided
Gray normal ending
gray Egg/Carcass thing that led to some weird alien ending
Gray DIS
Gray Dev ending
Lillie ending where she's leaving with Lily
Cif ending where she finds Bee at some beach.
Anything major missing besides doing DIS again as Lillie. and play 0st Ranger now i suppose.
you forgot Lillie DIS ending
You forgot the most important step of playing ZeroRanger first.
>gray Egg/Carcass
what is this?
this thing.
i will mash my head into the ostranger wall some other time. is there any way to play as Lillie instead of Gray?
Just press right to switch?
in my defense, i am retarded
there probably are some tricks to getting a high score like secrets or bonuses. actually beating the stage is easy though
just wait for a nerf, they went way too hard with the difficulty
Almost fell for the Hispanicy stairs
Whew lad
What's with that highlighting on all the objects?
Floor switches beneath objects
It happened to me on B068. Brain went on autopilot.
Cif will get you next time.
help please im utterly filtered at this point.
Have been stuck here for two days
Are you sure you need to push off the statues anon?
Where are you items? Lillie's route isn’t going to get any easier without them
Am i missing something? B089
You need to hold the stairs. This is true for all murals/brands.[/spoilers]
Remove the stairs. You need a glass tile.
Right, forgot about that since the stairs weren't active
I just got here and I am not leaving until I figure out what the fuck this room is for. Unless I'm not supposed to see anything, in which case I guess I'll go fuck myself again.
stairs dont count
In NG+, am I supposed to reach the bottom without upgrades or should I look around for things?
Because all the chests with the upgrades are empty and I don't want to have to go through the whole thing without upgrades twice if possible.
if you go from ng to ng+ the chests will be empty. if you die and use the brand to start in ng+ you can get all the items. afaik there is no difference so its up to you if you want to get to the end without items or not
Is this the only way? feels a bit cheesy and besides I don't know how to die or what brand you mean. The only one I have is from the ending with the carcass
Will they respawn if I finish the dungeon?
Nvm, I figured it out and unlocked a shit ton of brands
>Oh haha you can fuck with the UI
>There has to be something hidden here I'll just run around in the dark oh my god what the fuck was that
I'm thoroughly spooked
Oh there actually was something hidden out there huh
How about you push it a bunch of times and wait about 10 seconds?
does anybody have pics of those spooky monsters? there are several right? I haven't seen any.
He's kinda cute now that I got a good look at him
Too late I left is it worth it?
The earlier you do it in a run the better ;^)
If you are well into it I'd wait until the first tree room or so start of New Game+
What the fuck is going on
Congrats, you beat the game!
What does the Memory brand even do?
I actually found it like 30 minutes into my first run and I've always been playing with it
Lets you talk to eggs and read text.
Oh, it feels like I've been doing that since the beginning, that's why.
You have to be bad to get them to spawn.
Wtf there's more than 1
>And special thanks... You!
What do I even play now...
ZeroRanger
Bro, I already 1cc'd that a while ago...
Your 1 million points??
Now we wait for whenever the next schizocore game comes out...
Tunic
Environmental Station Alpha
Baba Is You
La-Mulana
Did all of these, including Baba's true ending and ESA's secret hunting
Maybe I should try to mess up with LM2's boss order because I haven't done an early Echidna kill yet
Schizo games are too rare for how addictive they are unfortunately
Hempuli is working on a sequel to ESA, but there's no telling when that's coming out.
Animal Well is expected to be schizocore, but that's not out until early 2024. I'm sure Dunkey's involvement with it might put some people off, but I expect it to be good.
It's not schizocore but Paquerette: Down the Bunburrows is another recent top down sokoban-ish puzzle game with a fuckload of content and lots of "breaking the rules" mechanics not too dissimilar from swapping UI values in this game. It probably would have been my puzzle game of the year but with Void Stranger it's a tough competition. It's very lighthearted though and has essentially no story, so keep that in mind.
This one's pretty good, the dialogue is mostly fucking terrible but the story is basically absent as you say so that's not a big deal. Seems like there's a huge pool of optional(?) collectibles if you wanna go all in on the puzzles.
Have you played YU-NO yet?
[x] cryptic puzzles
[x] pixel art
[x] rockin OST by a guy who also made music for shmups
[x] cute anime girls
What does this game look like, exactly? It's obviously a point and click adventure game but I'd like to know more
Point and click/VN with time travel and parallel universes.
You find a locked door on one route, so you have to look for a key on the other routes, that sort of thing. You can set a marker down at any point and warp back to that point whenever you want.
There are some situations where you can die, and there's another time traveler who tries to hunt you down and kill you, but worst case you just get sent back to the start and you get to keep all your items, so it's no big deal.
Seems interesting but
>eroge
Not really my thing, same reason I dropped Black Souls
I'll keep it in mind though, thanks
>dropping black souls because of the h content
for shame anon, theres only like 1 or 2 instances in the game where you're forced to see it
The follower doesn't make the smile enemy follow it, just follow my instructions anon
also the rest of the dungeon is just as worse, trust me
I got through that level and a few other, don't worry. I was expecting it to get much worse. There's way too much trial and error going on right now but I guess it's something like the ultimate challenge.
Yeah you REALLY have to plan out what you do, theres also a few where you can easily overthink it like that one, almost all of em require damn near perfection too
>floor 189
>just now realized you have a couple seconds grace period to back back onto a tile if you accidentally step off
>whole time I thought Gray's cartoon pedaling in air was just a static animation
kill me
I love it, wish more games like this had a grace period for you to make a mistake. It would be nice if more platformers had that so you don't just make a small slip of the control stick with no indication you were already on the edge.
post dev room
Should I take the Hispanicy staircase ?
I'm pretty sure the fact that you spawn on a clone tile is to make sure you take the Hispanicy staircase
Don't worry and just continue playing
you can actually pick up the stairs and fly off into them even with the clone. you get extra tidbits with it
there's another way out
good thing I kept a backup there
I just started, I'm not looking at spoilers
what am I in for?
spoilers
>wait there's more?
>wait there's more!?
>wait there's MORE??
Sokuban-like puzzle game where you flip tiles to make your way to the exit on different floors. It has a lot of secrets and mechanics that you are supposed to discover on your own, which is with all the spoiler text. Also a lot of us getting stuck and asking for help so we spoil the solution to let the anon figure it out on their own if they want.
Also
Just when you think you beat the game, there's even more to discover.
I entered NG+. I still had some murals left to go through and I have no idea what to do with B000. Will I still be able to figure everything out? Is NG+ required to figure it out?
lmao
who's going to tell him?
I hope nobody ever does.
i'm baffled how people don't immediately get what they're supposed to do. like isn't your first instinct to hit the small, clearly highlighted adds of a big boss fight? like this is some video-gaming 101 shit
i got blasted by them immediately and spent like an hour assuming they were there to keep you from getting in weird spots
That was my first instinct because the very beginning reminded me of Lavos' "destruction rains from the heavens" and the boss setup matched.
This boss definitely made me empathize more with people who got stuck against Final Lavos in Chrono Trigger
ZeroRanger stage 2 is filtering me, bros...
Pick type C and abuse backwards shooting and charge shot
shmups are hard and reward repetition, just keep going anon and remember to take breaks
Stage 2 is actually the hardest
Alright i did not think I'd ask it at any point, but can anyone help me on this one ?
It's defintively a spoiler if you are on your first ten-fifteen hours. You've been warned.
On the left is the base of the level, on the right is the best I could do. Can I have a hint ? not necessarily a full solution, but at least a hint for what I should do / where I should start.
keep the statue, you'll push it onto the button.
Thank you kindly, to the both of you.
Funny how your solutions are exactly opposite. Gonna try again
because that's what I initially thought to do.
If anyone wonder for this one too, there is a thread on the Steam forum of the game about it, with both a video for solution and just hints.
place button above enemy. bait him right, up and then circle around to the left and enter the stairs
Thank you so much I figured it out.
you might want to have a nice day and start again with your items unless youre dedicated to doing this without them, if you somehow haven't unlocked them yet, please solve the murals
I'm not sure I understand how it works. I had the items with Gray, but don't with her. I'm voided so I'm dead. Or is it about getting back to the main menu and using the item brands ? Either way, I might continue a bit without these... Unless it's mandatory to get something, maybe.
Find a funny reset statue and place stairs under them to unvoid yourself I guess, yeah you need to get back to the beginning and input all the brands
I believe every single standard ng+ puzzle is solvable without items, the most difficult floors in ng+ are the ones where you cant use them but itll make the ones where you can use them significantly easier
there is no way to get the items in a more "lore friendly" manner ? I'll try to go as deep as I can without them for the sack of it...
Nope, Grey took them all. Gotta restart unfortunately
the items are in the same location. The big issue is if you continued straight from finishing Gray all the event flags and chests stay set so you can't get the items you got as gray. If you start straight as Lillie with her brand you can find them in their usual spot.
t. i did that. still challenging enough until you get the wings and sword.
from what i've heard, aren't the chests still empty even if you go itemless as gray? so either getting the items as gray on your winning unvoided run is canon, or there's some weird shit going on.
Well indeed, I just went to the B67 brand location, and there was no wings.I'll continue with no item to see where I can go...
I did the statue thing by mistake and was on floor 130 or so...my progress hass been reset to the beginning. Wtf?
Your game is bugged
Can anyone help?
Not much to help you with here, you're just gonna have to buck up and go back down.
Only thing that might help you is that there's another statue trick you can do by falling down a hole in front of one of the smug statues
Just be sure you've got some locusts on hand.
>you're just gonna have to buck up and go back down.
How is this not padding and busywork?
Because you almost certainly missed things, it can get to that point, but there are many methods you can use to help yourself. It really isn't that bad, and you will get even better at the puzzles.
hey man, you're the one who fell for the ol' Hispanicy Staircase.
>It's defintively a spoiler if you are on your first ten-fifteen hours. You've been warned.
I was at 40hrs when I got to that character
nagalfar you should play paquerette yes
I decided to to my first NG+ without items.
I might be too retarded for this. I already got put on court for quitting and reloading
Filling Gray's safety locker with infertile cum...
>reach ng+
>have very little interest in carrying on because I'm not enjoying the harder puzzles much and honestly the plot isn't that compelling for me
What do.
Stop playing? Are you dumb?
I am, but I hold on I hold on I hold on
Same except I want to know the plot but the puzzles are killing me.
I went as far a B72 but after I single-memory'd myself by mistake I decided to cheat and grab my items right from the start
I'll probably still try to beat it without but at least that'll help me catch up to where I was.
Honestly it's dumb that they don't get transferred and that the chests are empty, they should've designed ng+ with those in mind.
When you wake up from a dream by holding enter, there's an image visible behind the visual snow. Anyone got a clue what it is?
I reached floor 255 unvoided was that alphabet used anywhere in the game before it's introduced? Don't think I saw shit written like that anywhere
Should I continue playing with the new character or keep fucking around with Gray first?
Yeah, it's used all over the place. Cube translates it for you though. If you've got 3 items you're good for NG+, just die to go back and input them. If you don't, might be worth playing Gray again.
Oh, it's highlights on the boxes in murals?
The way they actually used 26 whole floors to introduce that I thought it's gonna be a really big deal, what's the point if the cube translates all that
great question tbh, you can check out the steam trailer for some lore if you like
the alphabet was right there each time you checked the murals.
[spoiler]though, you don't need to worry about it too much yourself, assuming you got a certain item. 99% of stuff you see is auto-translated by it.[/spoiler]
its used in some very minor places, and not really to 'solve' anything unless you took a super weird route through the game. I wouldn't worry about it at all
the void memory translates pretty much all of it for you
lads do we think Black Onion is coming on the ZeroRanger anniversary? Or am I smoking hopium
They post updates every 28th of September, so maybe. I'd imagine they had their hands full working on VS, though.
Has anyone beat If?
This is bullshit.

Any special brand I should/could put here?
follow the usual pattern. what was on the last mural you saw?
...I walked past it
Fair enough.
Not like it matters much. There isn't actually anything on it anyways.
:^)
I just locust warped back.
As far as the gameplay loop goes, is there any reason to ever start completely fresh and try not to die?
there sure are some reasons, but more specific is spoilers ofc
Unless you mean deleting your whole save in which case seems like no from all I've heard
fellas my pc is melting in the middle of the DIS stages so I can't finish the game and I'm a poorboy so I cant replace it RIP we had a great run
Wish they had based the gameplay around being able to turn in place.
>like a dozen pages of sketches
>no motivation to do lineart + coloring
Artist life is annoying
Even if it's just sketches, I think you should still post them
is the game getting any art besides what anons are drawing in these threads? on the off discord perhaps?
I haven't seen anything besides two or three drawings from the hashtag
horns not thick enough. you should just post the sketches, why not
Is this supposed to be some stage?
Leftmost column I'm retarded.
What about it, it says 0 so I all of the cells must be empty, right? Did I do the puzzle wrong?
How about you don't try to diversify your empty cells and keep them all the same color?
Better? Didn't help me figure out what the puzzle is for
That can't be right, the room this one is in is 5 tiles tall while the puzzle is 6 tiles tall, and looks nothing like the room
Now keep an eye out.
I was following some footsteps while playing as Cif. They disappeared after a few levels. Do I need to keep going or did I miss something? I looked everywhere in the level they disappeared in case I could bump into something invisible but I couldn't.
Remember that floor with the 2x2 of rocks?
If not, find it.
Aha. Got it.
I hate everything about this place.
You might be overthinking it, spawn a follower from the first line of tiles, use the smile enemy to block the sight of tower by humping the wall, then pass him, then use the smile enemy again to block the worm from killing itself, then time your escape by making sure the follower is behind you before the worm moves away from the tower
I just really hate the mechanic. You can't block the ray with 1 enemy most of the time because you have a turn over them
How are you supposed to figure out which rooms the picross are for? Unless it's something too easy like the room they are in
uhh thats it
I may have brain damage
Should I try to do everything in NG before NG+? There were so many mysteries I left behind, and they're really gnawing at me.
You'll be back there later, if you got all three items it's better to just get NG+ and NG++ out of the way
I got wings, cube and sword, are those the items? I didn't finish the two last murals or the seal thing. Also whatever the thing is at B000 makes me really want to figure that shit out.
That's them. I would just keep going, but if you really want you can continue though the solutions are much more obvious if you do the rest and you can definitely find stuff in the next playthrough that will apply
I think I'll keep going then. Are there multiple endings? I did get the Zero Ranger one but I wouldn't call it an "ending"
what are the disadvantages of using the infinity brand?
It makes you gay, also it makes it harder to manipulate numbers
It doesn't make the memory shard spots disappear?
You can't locust warp, which locks you out of a few floors, on top of making going around the place a bit slower
You can't see the shortcut merchant
You also don't have control over locust skips
Finally managed to fully empty this room
This better be worth it, it's already worrisome that nothing showed up in the background.
Nothing shows up when you enter your brand too
I'm still on my first playthrough, I skipped the first tree, does that mean I'll miss out on one cutscene?
It seems to be tied to the floor instead of watching them in order.
The first cutscene introduces you to the characters and their relationship. You can always go back later to that floor and rewatch it anyway.
Ok, something did happen. But what is this?
Oh. Neat.
Very Link's Awakening puzzle.
The words "locust" and "brand" have lost all meaning to me
I think I might have missed a mural because I went down the uh oh stinky route after the giant head....
I'm gonna have to go back to like 170
Is resetting via black egg thing any different than resetting with a statue? Other than getting a cutscene I mean
Carcass resets you all the way to the brand selection screen while the statue just resets you to B001
So it's a way to game over with void/infinite locust? Makes sense
the statue is only a "pseudo" reset, it resets your locust count, floor number, and also makes you pick the rod back up, but it's otherwise basically just a warp to floor 1
egg actually ENDS your run, sending you back to the title screen and making you actually fully start over
Okay, this time I am really stumped. I can't figure out which ones to leave alive for the mimic to stay ahead of me for the second trap
With spoilers this time
Leave the first middle tile untouched
The spot where the statue is can be used to desync movements
From there it's a lot more straightforward than you think
I'm frankly tired of the game by now. Someone solve this floor for me. I'm almost out of locust too.
Someone posted a webm a few threads ago.
Desync with the golem, go down, it goes up, push first beam tower away, destroy a few hands in the middle to open a path, swap places with golem and get in the spot the tower was, use that spot move golem to second beam tower.
You want the middle row free for the golem's trip to the right.
Anyone? I'm tired of puzzles. I might just wait for someone to do a guide because I don't want to think anymore.
>I'm tired of puzzles
>I don't want to think anymore
you are in the very lucky position to always leave the void
I want to see the ending. I've spent enough time doing bullshit puzzles.
So I finished Cif and got the upgraded rod as Gray, I'm guessing next is doing the empty brand at the last mural?
yep good luck
>that remix of Sky XXXX Days in the game files
Does this even play in-game? I'm guessing the bonus shmup mode?
why are you ruining the kino ahead of time, retardbro?
Is there like a super shortcut? Like an omega giga bottom of the dungeon shortcut? I saw the mural input room in the no void run at the bottom has the same frame as the player mural and I wonder what happens if I match it up
There's a brand that teleports you to floor 190 something, but I don't think you can do it without [spoiler]wings[/spoiler]
there's a super shortcut by putting Lev's brand in the first mural room but i believe it requires the super rod. there's also probably a big jump you can do with the 53 mural room
you can input any mural brand into any of those 6x6 rooms and it'll warp you around, though in some cases it can be pretty tricky (if not impossible in some cases)
It's not really a "brand that teleports you" but more "you can input any brand of the 6x6 rooms and it will instawarp you to the corresponding floor", people like to use the second one with the glass panels to input latter ones for easy skip
Wait, what if I input and warp to my own brand?I can just slightly change the first mural and say it's mine
why dont you try it out 🙂
This made me smile
What do after I found bee and got that cool Zelda links awakening ending?
DIS
Oh fuck of course. That wasn't possible before.
also keep in mind DIS is different between gray and lillie in details
Oh nevermind, I have no clue what to do. I thought I could fight dis in the world you get thrown into when you remove the B number from your UI.
Any hints?
Remember that blank mural in the last stretch, in the weird space-y area?
I'm at work and I can't stop thinking about this game, did not expect it to be this good. Definitely playing ZeroRanger when I'm done.
IT SHOULD'VE BEEN ME
Here's dumb meme fanart I just drew
Cute.
top right golem needs a bigger ass
I'm sure moving left and right a few times would make them all explode
Would Gray scissor with her younger self doppelgangers?
if she ever ran into one of lillie's doppelgangers you can bet your ass she'd take that thing home on the spot
Gray's ring tone is Despair's theme
Kino
>it's another one of those "missed out on anons collaborating on solving shit" episodes
Is the game worth picking up at least?
Yes
>The schwing sound when you get it
>The game saying something is wrong
>The ost kicking in afterwards
Man, this is a perfect sequence to show how unknown and hostile this place is
It's pretty much la mulana 3 so if you're into cryptic puzzle adventures it's perfect. You can also play it normally though, without checking secrets, the game will tell you, and you can't miss anything
I did get a ton of enjoyment out of Baba Is You so this does seem like it's up my alley. I'm just kinda bummed because anons dogpiling into mysteries is the greatest shit on this website, the early days of Noita were so much fun and it looks like I'm a bit late on this one.
How autistic do you need to be to figure out the secrets? Should I have been screenshotting all these weird inscriptions I come across?
yes, not so much I found the first one pretty much jumps at you and from then on most of the stuff just rolls.
There are just a few that are really giga autistic.
yes to screenshot all the hints and murals you come across I mean.
It's not nearly as extensive as in la-mulana though, so don't worry too much about having to set up a whole libary or something.
>yes to screenshot all the hints and murals you come across I mean.
Fuck. Should I start over, or can I go back later?
Don't worry, you'll see the first floors often enough :^)
>Fuck. Should I start over, or can I go back later?
Nothing in the game is perma-missable afaik. In fact, I'd say the developers were fully aware that most people wouldn't pay that much attention to a lot of things at first. Just keep playing and things will start falling into place eventually. You'll know for sure when you *need* to start figuring stuff out.
>It's pretty much la mulana 3
man I wish. there's a lot of nice cryptic puzzle stuff but it's a fraction of la mulana
yes its super good
Play it. It's still not too late to enjoy it with us.
La-Mulana but it's puzzles and it's straight forward and easier to get the secrets. You can play normally and just note everything you feel is cryptic and might be useful for later.
Just a tip: Don't try to cheat the game in anyway, accept your choices even if they might be bad, the game will berate you about not playing it correctly if you try to cheat.
how many fucking times do I need to hit mon's tail? I hit 3 times and it's still going. it's been half an hour...
One more
4 😉
>hit a tough floor
>fail and get an unsolveable state, but the solution feels like just within reach
>exit and reboot game to not lose a locust
>...
>resetting takes like thirty seconds and still manage to forget most of the things I was going to try next time in that timespan
>even worse if I have to sit through yet another trial
I respect the tedium as a game design choice, after all, I could be resetting in seconds by just jumping down a pit, but good god it does get to you on some floors.
back up your saves manually in folders if you really want to cheat the game, that way you won't be judged if you just spend 15 locust, find the solution, and then copy paste your save when you still had them
Can someone explain were im supposed to use these picross sections?
take screenshots and see if any of the floors look similar
I've breezed through the other branes, but now I'm stuck again. Any hint? Also how far am I from reaching the end?
You want to kill the top left snake last coming from the bottom, with a tile in hand so you can fly to the exit
Got it, it's pretty simple now, I was just focused on the bottom exit.
Does anyone havethe full version of this? I saved it when the colors faded out ;_;
does anythig happen if you translate FUSK into patterns and enter it as a brand?
I can't find the "brand that is already carved". shouldnt it be an obvious 6x6 layout or something close?
pay close attention to every single floor, make sure to not miss even a single one
Ah I'm such a brainlet. The worst thing is i made screenshots of all floors in that domain - which would fit into 6x6 - for my archieve and did go full inspector deck on them tried for hours to recreate things, fuck around, leave things out and so on. Maybe I should have made screenshots of all the floors.
Anyway I guess that's not the only floor missing, so I keep an eye on that.
Btw I just started another Gray run to see if I find anything new, skipped to floor 0 at the first tree, got the floor 1 crystal, found bee standing around on a floor, run to her and push her into the abyss.
Guess I restart again.
Another thing, I found 6 or 7 secret fruits and have absolutely no idea what the fuck they do, if they are listed somewhere or if they are only relevant later. I also threw some statue into the abyss and some succubus with a heart showed up. That never happened again, even with other characters. What's up with that?
Please no super spoilers.
don't worry too much about the fruits, it's not anything important
oh nevermind it wasnt bee 🙂
if you say so 🙂
did you find any such room in that domain? It is there but hidden
Further hint pay attention to floor numbers
Spoiler floor 223 is missing
What's the easiest way to warp back to the start after reading cif's note/clue in her room? is it going to a Hispanicy staircase? Or does that undo the check on the note?
Hey anon, I found a path to page 10, you wanna archive the thread for me?
how do I get past "NO WAY"? i want to unlock the shmup mode you all talk about
You don't even need to do that, just go back to B001 and grab the rod after going through the dev room
please help
from here go left.

your clone can push statues.
I'm aware, but I don't think I really have enough leeway to do much
push the eye at x=2 y=4 down then push the dragon down.
>get stuck on a puzzle for more than ten minutes
it's over... i'm so fucking dumb... it's never gonna end...
>solve it
my brain is so FUCKING big. my dick is HUGE. i WILL reunite these cute anime girls.
I just 'finished' the game for the first time. I've got some questions.
At some point I saw a screenshot with multiple weapons and I'm aware of the existence of the Void Blade but I've failed to get it as Gray. Am I fucked?
As Gray is there only that one 'ending'?
>As Gray is there only that one 'ending'?
there's one for voided, and one for unvoided
[spoiler]there's also the egg in the void, though that ending's shared between characters
there's definitely no other endings for gray besides those two 🙂[/spoiler]
I've got the unvoided ending. If I had to guess the voided ending has Gray trapped in the Void forever?
alright bros looking for guidance super lategame
I've done DIS as gray but I'm kind of at a loss of what to do next. i recieved a brand after the credits but it doesn't accept it when i try to enter it. should i just go do DIS as lily next?
put the brand in like one of the mural brands
Are there a lot of red herring objects for solutions, or are there just multiple ways to solve a puzzle?
Sometimes the latter, sometimes the former. In Normal it's mostly alternate paths, in NG+ and deeper there are redder and redder herrings
i'm retarded?
Instead of thinking about it as "how do I move these blocks around?", think about it from the angle of "how do I move that hole around?"
maybe, you need to bait the bull down the corridor, pick up the button, and eventually play back-and-forth to move the hole to a position that traps the bull in front of the button.
anons here said I needed to read the note to start the seal-breaking sequence.
you can MOVE the button?
what note? you can start sequence breaking from the very first room if you want. im sorry anon, some trolled you hard
>what note?
Maybe I'll be charitable and say someone didn't know what the fuck they were talking about.
If there's a good warp map/guide for quick reference I'd still appreciate it.
ok, can someone post a decent or up-to-date warp map?[spoiler]
I want to get to the dev room/DIS stuff as quickly as possible and it seems like I am spending way too much time fucking around with the boring puzzles I beat dozens of hours ago, going through the motions. It just seems getting to B223, then back, then to the tail/gor rooms AND then B000, takes way too long and easy to fuck up.[/spoiler]
why are you going to 223 and then back?
should i have not fed the beef jerky looking dude locusts?

I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing or supposed to be doing. Should I just keep playing through the whole game again or what?
>I have no idea what the fuck I'm doing or supposed to be doing.
you're doing what you are "supposed" to be doing, you're supposed to beat the game without getting VOIDed your second time through and find the secret items.
the murals hold the key, they correspond to specific 6x6 rooms you have to make the shape of and fall down into (the stairs can't be there).
Did datamining reveal ANYTHING these threads didn't discover on their own? I thought we 100%'d the game already.
except beating the hard-mode 0stRANGER final boss.
Minor details, nothing groundbreaking that ruined the fun.
Can someone please explain to me the brands? I know I can input one to play as Lillie but I'm not allowed to input the others, it looks like other characters always tell me off them.
its very simple after you test it.
enter any unlocked special brand twice in a row to activate it. you can do this with multiple brands in one single run.
the only brands that don't stack are the NG+ and NG++ brands.
if you enter a blank/invalid brand as your final/personal brand, that de-selects all the special game brands you input because fuck you.
Uh how I actually unlock more special Brands then? Please don't spoil me just tell me if it's something I'm missing, is it a mechanic that will be explained further into NG+?
you unlock things by unlocking things, its that simple dude
But I hit credits once and I didn't unlock anything but the NG+ brand
I'll tell you because it's counterintuitive and had no idea either.
have a nice day and refuse the given offer. When you start a new run you'll be given a brand for each item you've acquired.
Every time I died I would refuse the offer and have to start over that's how I got the unvoided ending. I never got any 'items', are you refering to the Void Blade? Just say yes or no I'll figure out to get the actual thing myself
Yes.
Okay THANK YOU
Is there any reason to do NG+ normally? I've seen people post some screenshots of lilith talking and even some about some friendly NPC, but I was so fucking done with doing everything again that I skipped more than half the floors.
nope, youd only do itemless if you want the bragging rights and are a masochist
Goddammit, I'm so close. Is it possible to even do without wings/super rod?
Brand new player here.
Let's say hypothetically that I ran over an NPC with a boulder on accident. What would the repercussions of my actions be?
blood on your hands and sin on your soul
Are the different color palette's in the settings purely for aesthetic purposes? Why are the options ***'d out?
Yes.
Because its cool and mysterious.
I killed the one maggot on the floor and the statues are still blocking the way to the stairs.The kid is here and won't give me any more dialogue. I don't like what the game seems to be implying here.
make them all go away 🙂
Well, at least Lillie didn't have to personally stain her hands since rebooting the game was enough to make the kid disappear.
you just let the kid die from starvation? damn you are a cruel one anon.
Can someone please explain what to do with this head?
Don't. Its a complete save wipe.
stick your rod into it
What did I do wrong?
>Staircase
Mortal's never learn...
OH SHIT
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON NOW!/
GOOD LORD WHAT IS HAPPENING IN HERE!?
uhh, aurora borealis?
NOOOO THIS GAME
IT'S FUCKING GOOD
AUGH FUCK
I knew I should have expected a bit more from the zeroranger devs but this is very impressive.
time to get fired up mortal!
You need to remove the stairs.
guys what am i supposed to do after beating ng++ as cif, it made me start the game over with cif and bee on the beach and i dont know what brands to put in or how to progress more
the only thing left is DIS
how do i do that
you need to get the buffed staff first and foremost, after that it should be pretty easy to figure out where to go if you pay attention to the murals
Explore as Gray.
Late game question
can I use the Hispanicy stairs after killing tail and gor to get to DIS?
Is it better to do DIS without being VOIDed?
you can use the Hispanicy stairs and afaik there are no differences between voided or not in DIS, just differences between Gray and Lillie runs
yes
second one doesn't matter and it'll probably happen anyway
do i get a chance to see the murals again?
i missed taking a picture of the first one
Yeh don't worry, you see them again alright...
can i not engrave sword and wings at the same time after beating ng++?
They should turn from grey to white if you entered them correctly (twice). Just make sure to not leave your own brand blank or it'll reset anything you've entered.
I give up.
Can't really seem to be able to find a solution where I can drop the 2 statues to be able to use my wand freely and talk with the stone,am I missing something obvious?
You can push the snake statue to the left at some point.
I tried that, I eventually run into this issue, sure I can move the snake block to cover the path, but I can't move the anti-wand statue around much or it'll get stuck at the walls
I'm really unsure what you mean, you're forced to take away your block so you can't speak to the rock until you put it back down
Push the top most lazy statue into the bomb tile then trigger them. Next push the snake statue twice left. Rest should be easy from there.
Thank you!
I hope it was worth it. 😉
this isn't funny 🙁
If you only push in the very top and bottom adamant statues, then activate the disappearing floor previously under them, you can push the snake statue left to create ground, which will itself bridge to the unactivated disappearing floor.
This floor which will now be connected to the disappearing floor you're standing on, and which you can connect to the other staff statue.
Sorry anon, completely forgot the kind of block you're holding.
You don't need to place a single block to talk to the statue nor leaving
Fuck, meant rock
Without spoiling me, for snake, should I be treating the left and right halves separately, and is rotation a part of cobbling together the full image?
No rotation required.
finally... I made it.
But uh, what do I do?
Return your items from whence they came.
do I have to reset my run and get back to the DIS mural with JUST the super rod?
No.
thank god, I was expecting more bullshit from this game.
>Not ready for NG+ yet
>Finally reach the first tree
God, I have never been so happy to see an egg.
Is it possible to fly over the pit without picking up the wand on floor b002?
Nope
Ah well.
this shit is so utterly tedious to do
The statue beckons.
no. i want my infinity.
its fucking awful, I don't blame you
I resorted to Ganker's help on that floor.
Is there a way to end a Cif run and go back to Gray without fighting Mon?
As long as you can reach the UI, you can always escape.
>just reached b255
Holy shit I wasn't expecting that
Får ej övertäckas. Ei saa peittää.
'ate finns
t. /hoc/
damn she has really nice hips
Does the shadow that leads you to the carcass thing only show up as Cif? I heard the sounds as Gray but never saw the shadow so I never found anything
Yes.

>Tan-looking scientist lady
Her name is Erasure
Bravo, System Erasure
i'm fuckin' stumped, how do I round this corner?
the corner needs a normal tile, not a trap tile. you can only get a normal tile from the eus statue. you also need to have two activated trap tiles on the way to the normal tile so you have somewhere to put the activated trap tile that tan is sitting on somewhere else. finally, you need an unactivated trap tile to replace the activated tile tan is sitting on.
good luck!
thanks, still going to be a lot of trial and error. only a few rooms in and I've already burned through 30 of the locusts I've brought with me.
Make a clockwise loop around the bottom, picking up 2 tiles along the way.
>101 IPs
Void Stranger is gaining popularity.
Might spike hard if a certain something I suspect may occur happens tomorrow.
11 of those IPs are me, sorry.
Finally finished the game for real now, god what an incredible game
how do I unlock the 0st ranger I keep hearing about? just went through the devroom and thought I'd find it there
NG+
This room is bullshit
Don't touch the outside tiles and make sure you exit out the bottom right follower tile of the right side after you've touched 24 of them
im currently stuck in this room too
How are you fuckers this stupid?
Just conga and gather them 6 at a time.
Your last one should be from the lower right corner of the right 6, then step right, down, and go clockwise to the exit.
>clockwise
FUCK
Yeah, it was that easy.
That's how I solved it in normal NG.
I just finished my first playthrough(technically second because voided) and now I'm playing as the second character. I just have one question, are there any other jumpscares like with Gray's last tree?
not really, play without fear =)
Fuckers, it was less scary and more unexpected.
what do I do in this room? I must be missing something. I delay the first snake by hitting the wall and then kill it with the sword, but then what? I can't go and pick up a block to get to the stairs because the shadow clone is on my ass.
You go back up after widening the space you have to work in and then cross on the right side.
Oh, the 2x2 on the right I can just loop without the shadow clone catching me and I can go and grab that block to the left of it, I'm an idiot.
Close enough.
Without items, you gotta do some extra steps, but yeah.
Mentally I can figure out how it can be done without items but it would be a huge chore.
Also GRAY'S LACTATING TITTIES
iirc
approach the fork, rod. create a bridge at the fork.
stall until snake on row 2 is at the end square on his left, grab the tile between him and your 2x2. from there, create a 5 tile. grab a tile from the right and create a 6. you now can maneuver however you'd like. trap the top row snake as you did the bottom row and move to the end of the first row with a tile in hand to complete the floor.
go to the square on the right, do a u-turn, pick up a square before turning downward, pick up a square while you're u-turning around the bottom square, carry it upwards back to the square on the right
You call that a jumpscare?
Pusseeee
went to piss during the credits and when I come back I see a brand scroll by before I can sprint back and screencap it, anybody have it handy?
ty
also best palette
>this but i whiffed the dance sequence instead
pain
I haven't seen anyone mention it yet, though it's somewhat obvious.
The devroom brand is the System Erasure logo.
Spoiler tags now included, oops
Uhhg. I beat the game once and i lost my save file. I dont wanna do my entire first playthrough again, im not sure if im just gonna quit.
The first playthrough requires you to beat the game, im assuming the second requires you to beat the game while alive? Does anyone have the infinite locust password? Is it even worth me playing over?
Not quite.
You can get the "second" playthrough on your first lap.
Here you go, use it responsibly.
I still haven't used it myself.
It's really not that bad, but yeah.
>It's really not that bad, but yeah.
It's more a principle of fearing that I'd ruin the game for myself by having it be ballbustingly hard.
Also involving the stuff I never paid attention to like what to do with Tail and the snake brand(I solved the puzzle but didn't input it), and whatever happens on B000 and the seals, should I wait until I'm back as Gray to do this or should I be doing it with both characters? I feel like doing it as Gray with the easier floors should be less of a heartache unless shit changes with Lillie.
Don't worry about it. Just keep holding on and holding on and holding on.
how can literally every cutscene in this game be such a treat? humor, poignancy, the story has everything you could want.
Is there any way to restart the game after you've died and hit continue?
find a black statue and place stairs in front of it.
Yes.
Finishing the game Voided will teach you.
take the ol' Hispanicy staircase then die
or the secret void ending
if it's your first time through don't worry about it, reaching the end while voided is its own thing
