Check the new changes we've introduced below:

Devlog #42 "Gameplay Tips for our Demo!"



Hello everyone! How are you enjoying the demo so far? We're thankful for all feedback you send our way and we are always open for further comments!




As you're diving head first into the gameplay time and time again we prepared for you a short devlog describing convenient advices and tips for the time you'll spend fighting the catastrophe in Chernobyl. Take a look below in order to find common strategies and help yourself in case you're having any difficulties!



First of all - always approach fire carefully and with mask on.

Mask might limit your stamina and make you tired faster than when you're not using it however it comes with an extra resistance to fire - you'll be able to last much longer with it on. Be sure to always pay attention to your life bar and sound effects - if it suddenly starts depleting - even if slowly - that means that you have just entered an area with a close proximity to another fire. Move back immediately to avoid losing too much health! Always take care to check for the visible fire icons showcasing your proximity to the fires and threat level!

If you worry about your stamina running out too fast - look around to check if there are any irradiated pieces of graphite laying around. They penalize your stamina regeneration but the most important thing is you can move them out of your way. Use your shovel on them and your stamina will be back to normal.



Second important thing - always check the area you're trying to access. Don't make the common mistake of entering or even worse jumping into the room and only then looking around to see where you are. You don't want to jump to your death and you should always strive to be as safe as possible, as cautious as the situation allows. You might have to use the hose for a fire sources that are far away - aim carefully and you will be able to extinguish those before entering certain places.

Additionally - always look for the climbable ledges. They look visually distinct allowing you to make clever decisions and take calculated risk.



Third - always look around. Take a moment to discern the situation you're in. Check all places, look everywhere. In some places you might feel like you've hit a dead end however after spending some time checking through the location you will surely be able to find a way out. Try to make a habit out of checking the map and checking where's your next objective marker. Map is a valuable tool - abuse it if you have to! Out of the game you can also check our looped stream of the gameplay on Steam - we've gone through the whole demo so you can follow our steps!

Some technical tips if you're having technical issues with the demo to ensure smooth gameplay:
1). Make sure to update your graphic card drivers.
2). You might want to disable v-sync in the settings for your PC.
3). Make sure to use the "verify game files integrity" option on Steam.

Have fun with the demo and let us know about any further opinions you have!

Kind regards,
Chernobyl Liquidators Simulator Team
