How Seth finds games to review Selects sort games by content tag: Cannibalism

Some guy stole my sleeping bag while I was sleeping in it. I'm not even mad, I'm just impressed. I don't even think that I woke up

Holy shit, I've been living in Manchester for 5 years and I only just found out that those freaking metal capsules on the ground I see everywhere contain laughing gas that people get high off of, lol.

>Chavs outside SSeth's house >they're in an astra yup thats about right.

This is my favorite “murder-the-homeless-for-a-single-boot” simulator. Also, you can get cancer as a debuff. 9/10.

Sseth: Manchester Game: Detroit Me: What’s the difference?

>talks about his sleep paralysis demon >asmongold appears accurate

"No one plays with me, so they're both single player" Oof, this got me pretty hard.

"Crackhead chariot" is now my favorite new euphemism for a shopping cart.

Somehow, before playing this game, I actually thought this really did take place in Manchester UK 2008 But apparently it takes place in Detroit, which isn't actually that much different.

So quick tips for people who keep dying: 1. Trapping is arguably the best skill in the game. It lets you catch food, it lets you start fires very easily (to cook food and boil water), and it lets you start with a very excellent piece of clothing off the bat. Bringing me to: 2. At the start of the game, make sure you have Trapping and Melee and/or Tough (I prefer melee). When the Wolfman comes, fight it with your combat skill, which will put a dogman corpse at the cryo lab. Craft using the body, one of the glass shards lying on the ground, and the Trapping skill to get a fur coat. Just by itself it easily keeps you from dying of hypothermia. Try to make sure you use a 100% quality glass shard, because that determines the durability of the coat. If you have trouble finding one, you can craft a glass bottle with nothing to break it and get 100% glass shards. 3. Now I did say Melee and/or Tough. Because if you take both and use both to take on the Wolfman, you kick its ass. In addition to the body for the coat, you get a recording of your fight. Take that with you all the way to Detroit and show it to the Hatter. This skips his quest and also gives you the insanely busted "Unstoppable" secret skill. 4. Back to the melee skill: You can use it to craft the Broad spear (large stick can be found in the forest, combine with a glass shard, the Melee skill, and some string), which is one of the best weapons in the game and has a range of 3, letting you hit many enemies before they're in range to attack you. Like the coat, aim for a 100% glass shard for a max durability spear. 5. In combat, focus on not getting hit. Use dodge and parry to make your opponent vulnerable. When able, trip them, or use other methods to stun them or get them on the ground so you can get free hits in. But above all, make sure you take as few hits as possible. 6. Get a metal pan if possible, if not an empty soup can will suffice. This will let you boil water, giving you easy access to sterilized water. You can easily find water if you scan the map for any tile with water in it. While normally you'd prioritize water from a moving source (like a river), using a pan or can to boil water means that even bog water will be safe to drink. Also keep plenty of water bottles on hand (as well as some sticks and kindling to start a fire) to make sure you don't die of thirst. You can also boil dirty rags to get clean bandages. Very handy for healing yourself. Both sterilized water and clean bandages can sell for good money at the shop as well. 7. If you desperately need food, keep in mind that blue berries are always safe to eat and yellow berries are always poisonous. Red berries and mushrooms are a gamble if you don't have botany. 8. In story moments when you have a choice of what to do, always assume that something sketchy will probably kill you. Always err on the side of caution and take what sounds like the safest option. Gambles rarely pay off in this game. 9. Never talk in combat, as it can be a death sentence. The only exceptions are A) If the opponent asks to talk first, or B) if you end up in an encounter with guards right outside of Detroit, ALWAYS talk to them because it instantly ends the fight, and otherwise they will fucking waste you. 10. Fast Metabolism is actually a really good flaw. It makes you need more Food and Water, but it also makes you heal more quickly. And if you took Trapping like I told you, you shouldn't have any trouble getting sufficient food and water to sustain yourself. And you'll get some free building points for taking it. 11. Myopia can be a dangerous flaw to take, but can potentially give you an amazing build if you survive to Detroit with enough money. Though it's very expensive, you can spend $1000 at the Haggerty Health Clinic to get Myopia replaced with Eagle Eye, turning a flaw into a perk while still retaining the build points you got from selecting the flaw.

As someone that just lost his job and may soon be doing this to survive, I thank Sseth for this instructional video.

Damn simulator games are advanced nowadays Now they're simulating a whole country

My longest run in this game started with me killing a werewolf with my bare hands, skinning it with a piece of broken glass and wearing it's fur. The same playthrough ended with me approaching the megacity, getting into combat with something that I couldn't see, and then getting shot in the head and dying on the first turn.

As a "Veteran" of this game I highly approve of thise video, and of course when I say veteran I mean " played the game when it came out on google play, found out it was a demo, and then played it so much out of spite that my third eye has opened". full game is cool tho' truly much more than initially meets the eye.

Finally, a game for the dead squirrel community.

1:01 "outside our house" Sseth, please, take your meds. Mandalore is not real. It is just you in the house :(

As someone who has played this game for the better part of 5+ years, I feel slightly compelled to share some details about surviving. 1. While a funny detail, you can't acually beat people with shoes or squirrels (im sorry in advance) 2. to cure your thirst of cannibalism, you have to find a specific location and talk to a doctor for it, the first time you cure it the people there will take it as a sign of good-will but the next time you come back with the curse the people will kill you. 3. sell everything over a hundred detroit dollars to any trading center, while water is good to sell its time consuming and relatively boring. 4. you can unlock special abilities by doing random quests (ie fight robots and disturb a nursing home) these abilities are considered secret and are generally pretty overpowered. 5. if you survive for longer than a month, a small reminder that there is a brutal seasonal cycle. 6. unless your forklift certified, you can't take on mall cops, because they can spawn amazon drones that can shred you to pieces 7. there is a midget known as the "enfield horror" that wanders the center southern region of the map. it aint worth even beating him and he isnt that scary. 8. if you find detroit, don't leech on the restaurants forever, you'll run out of money. grind for squirrels instead. 9. dont stay to close to people who are sick (or have blue sashs) they, in the most blunt terms, have aids and cant be cured normally. 10. dont overload yourself with loot, in the words of sseth himself, "The best character to speedrun the game is a turtle, because you'll die before you reach the diner table". I shall leave now, farewell. if you do buy this game, it is honestly the most worthwhile purchase in your life. enjoy.
