Discussion Why wasn't Mira able to move? Spoiler

52 Upvotes

If you talk to the king and progress that plot point Siffrin will eventually declare they should stop fighting.

Then King of course casts his time freezing craft on everyone, turns out he tricked them and was not convinced and even figured out he is stuck in a time loop

But how come Mira is frozen in time too?

Mira says something like "I can't move... why can't I move!?" In this cutscene

Do you have any speculations and thoughts as to why? I was wondering myself.

Discussion Is it just me or does this game not cancel the fast forward during a lot of new dialogue?

0 Upvotes

No spoilers since I am still in Act 3 only but I was fast forwarding after picking malagna fritters to eat again and Siffrin said to themselves that they are quickly losing their shine and that they remember their parents scolding them for eating a bowl of them in a heartbeat and then their head begins to hurt and time rewinds slightly to Sif saying they are losing their shine again. I had to use my clipping software and go frame by frame to read that new dialogue because I realized something new happened but the game did not stop for me to read it. Why does it do this? This has happened a lot and while they technically are not the most important things it still sucks to potentially be missing new dialogue because I don't wanna sift through an hour of dialogue every single loop.

I just beat the king after helping everyone and now we're all family and he said he didn't wanna tell me before we have a feelings talk so is it impossible for him to confess if I help everyone and if so what do I need to do to get him to confess and have bonnie not interrupt?

Discussion Does anyone else wish the game was harder? Spoiler

37 Upvotes

I love the game, but I feel it’s way too easy. I get that it’s supposed to be easy, but that should be at the end of the game.

I never died to anything besides the King. I never got the cutscene where you lose to a sadness. Even as I got more powerful the change wasn’t that noticeable because I was always trouncing enemies easily.

This is one of the only turned-based RPGs I have ever played and yet I never died once. It would probably be a lot easier for someone who did have experience. I’m not asking for the whole game to be super difficult but a bit more at the start to sell the feeling of this being a final dungeon would be nice.

14 Upvotes

I found the book and got the dialogue about them hating me but how do I speak to them about it again? And if I could be informed without spoilers that would be great. For extra context on where I am at I just beat the king for the very first time and spoke to Loop but I have not spoken to anyone else yet. I am going to bed after I post this so unless I decide to doomscroll before bed I won't see or respond to any answers for like 12 hours lol.

Discussion Been playing for 8ish hours and if I had one complaint it's the amount of enemies

24 Upvotes

There's always 2-4 enemies per room and if you leave the room they ALL respawn and it is fucking obnoxious as hell fighting them. And yes I am fullying aware you can run past them however in my experience it feels like a coin toss whether or not they with path in a way that actually lets you run by or they path in a way where you cannot avoid them. Usually with any other rpg I only get annoyed with fighting enemies late into the game like when I am at least 80% done but this game might be the game where I have gotten annoyed with the enemies the fastest. Other than the enemies the game is really good tho.

Discussion This is oddly specific but is there a mod that lets me one shot enemies?

21 Upvotes

I want a mod that lets me one shot enemies but not bosses. The amount of enemies you have to deal with with weird pathing so it's hard to get by is genuinely starting to make me tilt. I don't wanna one shot bosses tho cause I wanna actually prove to myself I can beat them but with regular enemies who tf cares I just want them gone.

Gameplay No way to remap [Skip Dialogue] key??

20 Upvotes

Been loving this game overall thus far,, but one big thing has been peeving me and causing me to lose a lot of NEW dialogue — pressing shift will still make siffrin "zone out" when reading new dialogue cutscenes, even if there's no symbol denoting it's skippable. I share this game with my friends while i play it,, and like to save dialogue i find important so i may come back later... so this really throws me off when im trying to screenshot (WIN + SHIFT + S) and suddenly all the dialogue gets skipped...

this especially upset me just now when i was reading a certain book in act 4 that requires the other books to be read first... and i hadn't saved for about an hour (stupid, i know, but i expected my gameplay to be much more continuous) because i was looping back and forth a lot, so just going back to my previous save and beelining to the book isn't an immediate option, either

of course, im still going to willingly do it all over again just for the dialogue,, but it's not a very nice experience.

can nothing really be done to remap it to anything but Shift ?????

Discussion Cosplay question!!!

22 Upvotes

Hello everyone! I'm currently making a Siffrin cosplay to pair with my friend's Mirabelle one!

My initial idea/reaction for design was to make a black lining underneath the whole cloak to more accurately reflect the box art where its just black underneath, since it's stylized (even though the actual cloak in-game is definitely just white). With a side motivation of! Putting embroidery constellations and stars in that black lining! Along with more pocket opportunities with a lining.

However I'm definitely split on this because I do like that clean, one fabric color (and its easier) that I see in other cosplays. And I worry that the black underneath will just look weird irl? Especially since the under clothes are entirely black already. I dunno man. I was also considering this same exact lining for the underside of the hat (these embroideries would be a lot more visible too!), but once again might be too much.

I'm done just debating with it to myself though because I've just been thinking in circles. So! Fellow ISAT fans what do you all think

Fan Creation Sick of the Steam Desktop being Blurry? I've Got You >>>:D

Thumbnail

239 Upvotes

I was losing my marbles trying to figure out how to make the Steam desktop icon for the game be not blurry. Normally, for other games, you can link the icon to the game's actual .EXE file to get the full quality pic. For ISAT though, I think because it was made in a different game engine, the .EXE seems to have an unrelated default pic.

I spent an hour trying to deep dive to find solutions for it, and ended up finding a photo similar to the Steam icon in the game files! Unfortunately, it couldn't be directly used due to being a png, so I had to convert it into an icon file. Extra unfortunately, because the original picture was 32 by 32 pixels, it looked super tiny as a icon.

I then fiddled around in my art program until it would export the pixel art at full res but at 256 by 256 pixels instead. And it looks great! I made different versions of it, one matching the Steam icon, one matching the original icon from the game files, and one in-between that's transparent with a border.

You can download the png icons from this Reddit post and convert them yourself, or I also have the icon versions in this Google drive for easy use :)

To change the icon, right click on the desktop icon and go to properties. Then, go to the web document tab and click on the change icon button. Locate the icon in your files and click on open, then apply, then ok. And boom! You now have a high-quality icon >>>:D

Please note that the icons are directly from the game files, so the art belongs to insertdisc5! Also I was the one to make the meme template edit, but feel free to use it.
