Situation: Game. Typical horror. You know the rules: “no weapons, hiding under the tables, occasional puzzles”. But the game was nice enough for me to play it. Until the final boss. Many horrors/adventures still have bosses, but the fight is more puzzlish than just shooting and running. In this case I should lure the boss in the electrified puddle and manipulate with it; and repeat it 3-4 times.

After dying 3-4 times, I started to look for cutting-corners-way. I have found the developer console and it had some options that should make things easier. And you know what? After I increased my health, the boss became literally unkillable. Next time I added a few “medkits” to my inventory, the boss just started avoiding electrified puddles at all.

All experiments led to the situation becoming even worse. I believe that developers made it intentionally. Just for the sake of “fuck you, shit”

What could I do? Uninstall.

      Fiddling with the script engine can lead to unexpected results.

      I am a programmer myself and have an overall understanding of what can happen unintentionally. I don’t see how adding a few medkits in the inventory could lead to the boss to jump over the puddles :)

      And which game was it?

          The game has red-yellow-green health scale, not 0-100%. It would have taken too much effort to experiment while looking for the correct value.

    If you want a dark game with puzzle style combat and bosses, I can’t recommend a plague tale enough. Innocence is the first one, Requiem is the second one.

      plague tale

      I believe I have tried it. Until the first boss, where I was forced to run around him and try to dismantle his armour piece by piece with a sling and stones. Of course he caught me while having the last piece of armour on. Uninstalled and never even considered giving it a second chance.
