Others Last Man + Countdown DLC [v4.12] [Vortex Cannon Ent.]

The game was offline for the longest time. I have a version just before this switched to online mode (2014?). Author is using this to convert users to paying customers as far as I'm concerned. The darker thought is to get other information and this comes out of russia and we are the product. I don't see this changing but I check back periodically to see if has either been hacked back in or the model has changed. No such luck. Not that it was that great of a game then but at least it was something different at least it was 4 years ago.

This has been discussed many times:

• This game has multiplayer events.
• This game has a lot of online functionality, which will complement the gaming experience.
• I want to create a cross-game universe where quests will influence the story of my other games. This is already being implemented for Last Man and Red Pill using online functionality.
• Cross platform to play any device at home and not to fuck with gamesaves.
• This is the easiest way for Patreon Supporters to receive their rewards.
• It's easier to develop, debug bugs since I have the opportunity to load a player's gamesave if he reports a bug. And I can look at the statistics for all players, which quests should be improved.
• This is almost 2019, not the 90th.

Any offline game can turn your computer into a botnet or steal your data. You can register with a disposable email, install the game on a virtual machine and scan the traffic, you will see that nothing is transferred except the game data, this has already been done hundreds of times by other players.

I can not understand I can not advance from the 11th day once I run away from the house sends me to the home screen, someone can help me plz

Сan you describe the problem more precisely? I checked now and the 11th day is working fine.

I really like the UI of this game. The achievement system is also pretty neat.

Its a shame I was a supporter of this game for a long time until he did the below
"Save files are online only which means you cannot cheat or modify them."
Then I stopped playing it and cancelled my support understood it was his creative decision but I like cheating it extends and changes me replay so it killed the game for me
Pity I liked it when I played it and was happy to support it even when the earlier versions had premium cheats that never worked
That said I would encourage people to give it a look

Hey I would also like for the to be a version of the game where i could use cheats.. that said, do you maybe have a earlier version of the wehere i could use cheats?

"install the game on a virtual machine and scan the traffic, you will see that nothing is transferred except the game data, this has already been done hundreds of times by other players."
Yep agree with his statement done this and more with the online version of the game that's why I said in my post I believe the dev to be honest.
That sad I still done play it because unless I manipulate the game which I would not do (although I could) I cant cheat

Nice game. Works good with a mac and wine.

Only remarks I have:
- is that sometimes the chronologic of events isn't right. E.g you can buy flowers for Dasha, before actual have met her.
- in the previous version, the contacts where accessible via the map on your phone. In the latest version, you need to use your inventory. Via this route, I miss the pictures above the stats. These where available in the previous version.

Thanks for the feedback!
Flowers are really available in the store before you get to know Dasha. Although they will not affect your first meeting, I will fix it for the next build
I have already fixed the second bug in the next build. For now it is better to use hot-key "G". It does not cause this UI error.

on the 11th day after escaping from the department, and moving to the new department, once I have just used the computer, and see the dialogue that I use the cell phone to move, when I click anywhere sends me to the main window of the game (where you put the user and password) if I click to go back into the game does not load stays in the hourglass all the time and a yellow logo comes out in the menu

so it appears to me

Hello,

I've play this game from very first releases, but then I stopped because of the high money grinding, the high RNG on meetings where we can miss alpha points and the days cap

Are these things fixed now?

Thanks

There has never been a grind of money. All the money you need for quests can be obtained by completing other quests. If the quest requires more money than you have, set it aside for later and complete other quests.
The game is non-linear and meetings with girls can occur in a different order, but this does not affect the alpha points.
The number of game days is not capped now and can be increased by completing quests, events or achievements.

Poker RNG and cheating by computer it's just AWFULL! Can you please change this in future versions ? It's just pure garbage... Old system was much better... not perfect but way less painfull that this thing :| Also the whole thing with "exp" doesnt make sense, what it gives anyway ? Should be at least some skill points for getting level up which you can invest in different statistics.

What games are you talking about? If the usual casino games, the percentage of winning for player is much higher now than it was before. Previously, it was 60/40 in favor of the player, and you can win up to 80% of bets.
If you are talking about a poker tournament, then it was simplified in the last build. But it does not have to be simple. You need to find your own tactic in order to win against girls. Or you can choose a casino robbery storyline instead of a tournament.

Also the whole thing with "exp" doesnt make sense, what it gives anyway ?

With experience you get hero levels and extra action points.

Okay, decent game. I like the pictures, and the quests. However, somethings are not exactly intuitive. I will say that there needs to be a guide other than on vortexcannon.org. And behind a pay page. That can be a bit of a pain. However, I will say, overall, the game is pretty good. I don't mean a walkthrough. I mean a guide. when to do somethings, and when not to. And what may lead back to the pay page. A local save, or able to use something like cheat engine can help. And offline saves, that can be uploaded.

A couple suggestions to help, a little. One is after the epidemic, a bookstore appears on the map. Random books will appear, but you have to explore it to find them. And that costs one ap. The other suggestion is a bit more starting cash, or a way to make more, before you meet Nastaya. That would be a one off, not something you can repeat once the epidemic really starts.

Really ? So far, for me it was always long and painfull grind. Quests like club, poker tournament, sisters... that's like 200k $ - how to earn this from quests alone without serious grind ? Also gaining skill it's just to RNG based - for example break - and most of them are just useless - shooting, melee weapons, sneaking ?

I've got access to your walkthrough via private club but there's also no hint how to get this kind of money...

And finnaly the most annoying thing - too much clicking during sex scenes - i mean, come on!?!? It's a bloody mouse destroyer - i've started to use "clicker" program because it's just ridiculous...

Thanks. I am now filling the Quests List with data. There you can find all the information on your further actions. So you do not need walkthrough or the club. Before meeting with Nastya, you can earn on quests around 200k, and she asks only 50k. You don't need more money.

The same as above, in later game you can get money from missions on the Hero's Base, with winnings in a Poker tournament, dividends from a Pink Rhino, New Post quests and so on. If you do not have enough money just postpone this quest for later, and continue to do other quests.

And finnaly the most annoying thing - too much clicking during sex scenes - i mean, come on!?!? It's a bloody mouse destroyer - i've started to use "clicker" program because it's just ridiculous...

Just read what I write in the game news. The ability to skip the sex scene is already there, gradually all the events will be updated

 

[zabtak]

Hmm ok - i had old saves so a lot of things doesnt work... I guess i have to start it all over again.

Just one more thing - can you please make game window (in window mode) resizable ? I don't want to play this in fullscreen mode - and in window mode it's bit too small I've got 35'' monitor with 3440*1440 default resolution so game window looks small.

Ok, this will be available in the next build of the game

I don't mind having say a guide, or walkthrough, to double check things. See where I get lost, or what have you.

As to Natasha, or Nastaya, it is pre-epidemic that I was referring to. I believe about day 3. Just a quick thought/idea, is while you are at work, you get the opportunity, before taking a nap, to either do something on the computer to make some extra money, or you can find some extra money around the office. Best thought, is to just start with a bit more money, say 200 extra? Even 100. You don't have to do all of this, just throwing out something to help out, a little. And it would be limited to before things go awry. Say you know you want to give her the best, so you plan accordingly.

Personally, I like the basis of the game, and the story behind it. There is a lot to grow. And I don't mind being a step or two behind what paid members have. I will, eventually, become a paid member, but, for now, I will enjoy the game as is, and miss out on a few things. I do like where this game has come from, and where it is going.

She is Nastya, but I do not understand why do you need this additional 100-200 money? There is enough money to finish all the events in the first three days. This is just an entry into the game, I do not think that I should stretch it even more with additional events.
