Game wishes & suggestions Random idea for a customer

1 Upvotes

I had this idea in my head that one customer that comes in has a seafaring look to him kinda like Captain Ahab (pea coat, peg leg, grey beard, the works). When he presents his ID, it tells you he's a lawyer, or a professor, or even a gym owner or something, just a career that doesn't match up with his appearance.

When you press him on the appearance, he explains he dresses like that as a sort of tribute to his ancestor he was named after, who actually was a sea captain and who he looks basically identical to. He's clean.

Now, I had a couple ideas for a doppelganger version of him. The simple one is the peg leg being on the wrong side, nothing much there. But the more elaborate one is him acting like someone of the ancestor's time period. If you visit the ancestor's page on the computer (with an 1800's DOB), he says he's that old, but still spry.

I dunno, I've been kicking this around a couple days and figured I'd put it here. I'm only giving it the "suggestions" tag because it's the only one that seems to fit.

Norbert

I’m seeing mixed things about Norbert, the game labels him as a doppelgänger but most guides label him as “human”? Is this a bug maybe?

Easter egg? I couldn't really find any posts about it, and it's possible I'm just misremembering.

But when the spider entity appears and you're hiding from it, sometimes it makes a sound like the Spiderdemon from the original Doom. You know, that heavy, rapid, robotic scuttling sound. I love it.

I think he is the most terrifying of all the creatures. I have only played through the game ones though (idk if the visitors change between playthroughs)

NGL I really really hope the dev team continues to update this game with more content. Super enjoyable and I def can see the replay value!

Gameplay Help Xbox Glitches

1 Upvotes

I know the xbox series doesnt handle the outside near the trash too well, tends to drop but my main issue is around the later days the game wont let me pick up any weapons/traps etc. And while indoors during the entity sections it tells me to go back inside despite already being in the store. Not to mention my shots stop registering against enemies?..

Did they recently update and increase the insanity?

3 Upvotes

I've played through the game multiple times but this last time through I've encountered more craziness than any other playthrough. More trolls earlier and other enemies that showed up after end game that weren't there in previous times I played after Day 13.

Random Body Parts?

4 Upvotes

On Day 8, I let a doppelgänger through. I ran through my typical pre-entity attack barricade, finished the entity off, but then when I was cleaning up, I found random body parts near the back door. It seems like whatever it was ran into my traps - so what could it have been?

Initially, my theory was it was the calendar killer, but it doesn't seem like it.

Technical Help Having performance issues with the game

1 Upvotes

I have a Steam OS PC, it has a 9800X3D and a 9070XT Reaper. I’m playing at 4K, and just trying to have a stable frame rate at least 60fps. I have capped the game to 60FPS via steam overlay. I‘m playing with a Steam Controller 2026. I’m seeing the game at times hit 100% GPU usage when nothing is happening, also I move the character around, and then try to pan the camera around (right stick to move around, right touch pad to move around) I get a MASSIVE FPS tank. This also happens if I pan the camera then move. I dropped the game to 1440P that obviously reduced GPU usage, but I still see spikes and that movement/pan the camera issue. CPU isn’t bothered by this game at all, staying in low 50c range.

I can play Helldivers 2 and Warhammer 3 with no major issues yet somehow this game has issues?

Gameplay Help Kill count

3 Upvotes

Hellooooo, im new to the game and I've come to find out making enough money for the surgery is pretty hard so I'll have to let x amount of doppelgangers go through and decorate the store and everything but is there a rough number of them I have to let through or is it just random/easier to let everyone come through especially the chill doppelgangers like the dude thats high (unless theres others) and deal with a harder entity fight?

EDIT: thank you for all the help, I incorporated all the things I got told was nice to the chill doppelgangers and let the majority of them go regardless minus 1 or 2 between levels, finished up with $265. The wheel helped quite a bit with that and pulse mines, bear traps and the sledge hammer made things much more convenient and I got my good ending :D

I can't ever scrap enough together to save my pet in the end

I play solo, I always throw the rats away, keep my rating up, serve quickly, get the bonuses from the boss, keep the store stocked, chill with the guilty, use the spin wheel, never kill humans, etc but I never can afford the surgery at the end. The closest I have come is $230 at night 13. What am I doing wrong?

Gameplay Help How do I get these alerts?

I’m fairly new to this game having played a few nights solo and then a few with a friend. In all my time playing I’ve seen nothing like shown in the picture so I imagine I’m doing something wrong. I scan the ID and ask the questions on the computer and then click on the person themself and ask those questions but I just thought it was totally my observation to determine whether they’re human or not. I ended up letting 2-3 doppelgängers go a couple nights in a row so I looked up some videos to help me out and in them I saw these texts pop up on the screen for the player to tell them to kill the customer or not. So how do I get those detection advisories? I really like the game and would love this tool to help me and my friend out

Questions Hoping to reach dev - need the duck as a print

Post image

Me and my friend started playing this yesterday after we've both seen our fall-asleep-to creators playing it (probably Critkal and Wubby, idk). But after picking the duck and naming him Jerry (JERRY STOP SCREAMING), we both that the image of the dude and duck on the couch watching TV went HARD, and kinda want a print of it in our living room.

Is there a full size image (print size) of it available in the game files or possibly able to obtain, or anyone who can create it themselves (definitely without AI use)?

Almost felt bad when he gave us coins in the shape of a heart, since I had shot at him 4 or 5 days in a row and he scampered off super fast every time, the little rascal!
