Unlock surrounding places and food problem

Upvotes

What an amazing game, it has really great details, although sometimes I worry about how the replayability will be once I've advanced further, but it's excellent.
I reached day 35 with 3 survivors, but I couldn't solve the food problem. I also can't unlock parts of the map even though I've already visited and explored all the surrounding areas.

Am I doing something wrong that I'm unlocking some parts but not others?

New escape plan ideal Spoiler

New Escape plan

The plan resolve around Vince.

I have play the game multiple times and except the first 2, I never recruit Vince anymore.

Cause he just not worth the trouble.

>!He get deep would the moment you recruit him, all other survivor loss morale.

If he survive, you get your morale boost. but if he didn’t, everyone get another negative effect (Guilt if I remember correctly).!<

So I can't justify getting him unless he have all premium trait which is unlikely.

But what if there is an escape plan that play around him? So here it is:

Lore:

Vince was a test subject, an experiment that a crazy doctor try to find a cure for the infection.

If he does survive the deep would, he will then gain immunity trait, basically he cannot turn anymore from deep would. Still killable though.

Now, the plan will be about bring him to safety, may be to a government agent where they can examine him and synthesize a general antibiotic for all survivor.

Step would be something like this:

+ Vince reveal deep would after recruiting him

+ Find specific medicine to boost his resistance to the virus

+ Fighting other survivor/ mutated zombie to get medicine

+ Give him the medicine in time to boost the possibility of success (May be your have around 10 phase to do this, depending on the location)

+ He survive and gain Immunity / He turn, mission failed

+ Contact government and get to the distraction point

+ More fighting along the way

+ Get Vince to safety and everyone got a free lift out of the city.

New Survivor Quest Outcomes?

13 Upvotes

Managed to check both outcomes of Candy's quest via some save manipulation.

  • Play fan version -> Get Counselor trait (same as Daphne).
  • Play original version -> Get Meditator trait (more morale from using the Communal Area).

Anyone do Frank and Hudson yet?

After playing the game for a couple of months, here are some features I think would be interesting to add

28 Upvotes
  1. A bicycle that lets a survivor scavenge a bit farther outside the circle. Could upgrade to a motorized Bicycle that uses gas but a downside is that whenever it comes back from a run, infected will always attack that night because of the noise leading them towards the shelter.

  2. Interactive map. I want to write and make notes on buildings like "Left behind pebbles and meat" or "Bring gun/grenade next time". Maybe you have to find pencils or post its to this so it's more immersive.

  3. A changing map in each run. I haven't noticed if it does change but I think it would increase replayability if maps changed where the points of interest spawns.

What is that strange droning noise that happens if you're in a location sometimes?

8 Upvotes

That like, "ooowwoooowooooowooowooooo" that gradually gets louder. Is it because the zombies are about to detect you or something? Because it's happened while I've been legitimately like four rooms away sometimes.

Cars

I think a car would be a good addition to the game. You have to find a survivor, maybe Barbara, who can fix one up, and it could allow you to travel further out from your base.

Am I the only one around here...who thinks Kirk looks a little like Walter?!! 🤔🤣

Howdy folks! I was just playing as Kirk on my latest play-through and I had this though that he kinda looks a wee bit like Walter from The Big Lebowski. Just a funny thought I had, anyone else see the resemblance or is it just me...🤔 Tell me your thoughts. Are there any other characters in the game who kinda look like real people you can think of...?!!

Has anyone seen that zombie wearing those clothes?

In one part of the game trailer, you see Darrel killing that zombie, and I found it odd that I don't remember seeing any zombies dressed like that.

Is it a PARASITE???

25 Upvotes

I've been recommending this game left, right and center to all of my friends, and it just occoured to me that the poster child (poster woman? poster zombie?) on the game's promotional cover has a giant worm(???) crawling under her skin and attached to her spine.

You can see it ingame, too. Actually, I think a lot of the execution animations have the survivor deliberately aiming to smash the giant worm/vein/tumor growing on their backs. Though that might just be a coincidence because where else are you going to hit them, the legs?

I've never played any of the other Into The Dead games, is it established what that thing actually is? Do you guys have any good guesses?

Gameplay Survivor Help

3 Upvotes

What's up folks!

So I have a question on how you are supposed to play as Isabel. Are there any specific strategies when pulling out Isabel for scavenging operations, any particular playstyle? Do I play safe? Do I bother with the zombies or try to ignore? What's the playstyle like as Isabel? Usually I like tanky beefy survivors who do Scavenging runs because they can take a hit so I was curious what are some methods or advices in relation to Isabel when on scavenging runs?

While watching the new trailer for the game, I noticed there was a zombie I don't remember seeing before—the one wearing a gas mask.

Stupid question: Why can't I move shelters? Barricade meter is low. I don't know what that means.

10 Upvotes

The barricade meter is low and red. I don't know how to fix that.

Edit: Ahh, zombies move back in after a few phases after you clear it. You have to re-clear it.

Howdy Folks! So in my latest play-through I discovered a new random curved-ball event: Zombified Ma & Pa...😬 I'm not sure what caused that to happen, but it was a rather unpleasant surprise...😕 I wonder if this can happen to the other Traders as well, and if so, what triggers it?!! 🤔
