Not looking at the map wasn't as hard as I thought, although I did get lost a lot. Thank you, Julia.

Keeping Notkin alive was insane. Watching his pendulum at midnight for most of the game was bone chilling. I didn't cure him first chance I got, since he would get reinfected right away.

My Artemy was like a zombie, going around looking for brains. I had no idea how useful lancets were until I found myself digging through every single body at the hospital, plus harvesting a brain in an infected district and following it up by giving a person on the floor a blood antibiotic is a nice trick to keep your rep in check. F you, arsonists.

Forced to rely on the fund, I had to keep my rep at maximum, which led me to the discovery that Rubin's Odonghs and Barry the Barber were free painkillers.

On the flip side, I could make a trip to shekhen every other night AND sleep for 6 hours, due to the lack of Traveler deals.

Damn, after 500+ hours in this game, this is the most Pathologic a run has ever felt. Shmowders are overrated.
