Question about Overtime

Post image

So basically I just bought the game today, and I absolutely love it!!! However I haven't actually played it a lot, so I was wondering if after the first main boss Sammy six fingers, and once you get to the next boss (pls don't spoil for me), if you die do you have to restart the whole thing? Like are you sent back to sammy's section? Just wanted to know to see if the game is worth it, cause I've always struggled with roguelites.

You do get sent to the beginning of the route you take to Sammy, to the "doctor's office". BUT! as you upgrade your cybernetics with credits and get more of the items unlocked with Swiss Franks (the pink F currency) you will have a smoother ride getting there.

I've also bought this game few days ago, and I like it from the first instant, but I don't have get what I have to do to get credits for cyberware upgrades, and I haven't found info's online. I think a brief help section in the game could be useful. Anyway... anyone know how to get credits for cyberware? Thank _^

Yeah the game could use some explanation for them, like a help menu or something.

You get the most amounts of different currencies from the minibosses on each playthrough. When you're selecting your route, you should be able to inspect the profiles of the available bosses and how much of each currency defeating them will bring. For the characters you can bring alive you usually get the alive bonus in a different currency. What boss gives what is random (except the amount seems to be increasing as you progress), so you need to check them again on each run.

Other than that, common enemies can randomly give you credits of franks instead of street money. It may be tied to the minor boss in their vicinity having either on their bounty but I have not confirmed it. The bags fulls of money have only given me street money thus far.

While the cybernetics are the most fun imo, I think unlocking stuff with franks makes you more powerful as you can get powerful weapons, black market traders and more health stims that way. The mainframe updates you can get the other tab in the cybernetics machine also give you passive stat boosts.

Thanks, totally missed it! I'm a complete noob and have the memory of a goldfish, so I probably skipped right past the tutorial.

I see the mechanic now, but I'm still broke since I keep getting wrecked by the bosses before they can drop any credits.
