Won’t be able to play the game during September as I’m going abroad and won’t have access to a computer, so I’ve played it and finished a few days ago.
Here’s some advice I have for the game, I hope you find it useful:
1. Foster walks really slow. I was annoyed by that (due to constant backtracking and such), until I’ve realized you can change his walking speed in the options. I highly recommend to change it at the start of the game to avoid this annoyance.
2. Joey is super important, you cannot finish the game without him, so remember to talk to him very often and at different places. Sometimes a context dialog/option appears when you are at the right location so don’t forget to discuss it with him.
3. Don’t be discouraged if you lose items or someone takes them from you. If the game makes you lose them, you didn’t need them in the first place.
4. Sometimes a change in the world state is triggered when you reach a new location or find some new information. Remember to back-track to earlier areas as something might have changed over there too.
5. Crucial: SAVE OFTEN (and in different slots). While I’ve not encountered any softlocks, there are still some ways to get killed in the game.
