Nice, the photo in front of the hotel in Onett doesn't trigger so I have 7/8. Will master this some other time, at least I got the AOTW
Nabz 7 Feb 2025 19:29
Mastered. I thought it was cute at first but it quickly grew tedious and unnecessarily cryptic.

I'm very glad to be done with it.
RetroGamingOdyssey 8 Feb 2025 07:33
Thanks for the guide bugmeat
izanagifonfabre 8 Feb 2025 12:58
Mastery #5! Some of it was really fun and entertaining, though it does get quite tedious without any kind of guide to help you. Kudos to Bugmeat for their guide, really saved me from having to smash my head against the keyboard out of frustration.

Inventory management and being able to discard key items makes the game more complicated than it actually should be, but it's a fun set overall!
itskez 8 Feb 2025 15:42
As soon as the game made me stand and wait for three minutes to progress, I knew we were in for some garbage lmao
crrool 8 Feb 2025 20:29
Mastery #219! Took just under 1.5h following the guide. Weird little hack, but not hard to master using bugmeat's guide. Strongly recommend using it as I feel it wouldn't have been as doable without it (especially with the many ways you can softlock in this hack).
TheJediSonic 8 Feb 2025 22:07
The three minutes to progress thing is carried straight over from the original game, but yeah not a very good hack. One of the earliest and one of the worst.

It had my good will at first with the writing still feeling mostly like Earthbound without it being "tryhard" at it, but it devolves into a lot of time wasting wandering without a guide. The combat is mostly pointless with the tier 1 enemies that'll never be of threat so why are they there? Extremely limited inventory is constantly at odds with keeping certain items on hand, so like why isn't jeff a selectable character just so you can have more than enough inventory space for this hack? Some of the "puzzles" are cryptic use certain item, but some of those key items are things you can't drop or get rid of when they're past their purpose... some items don't do anything and yet are still things you cannot remove. The general bugginess of the hack is also an issue, though i can forgive this for its age and earthbounds weird coding apparently. The hack really lost any goodwill with me and a good friend of mine once you're forced to go travel between Twoson and Onett just to test any key items, and also some cryptic puzzles that don't have any hints within the game itself (the quiz guy in particular has like 3-4 questions tied to random bits of novel and movie trivia, the sherlock holmes dog bit being flatout wrong). My friend gave up on the no backseat gaming rule because the game just became a nuisance.

Overall while the game has glimpses of something good it's still pretty bad and a borderline sierra games point and click type beat (without the insta game overs, but still plenty of softlocks). Feel free to suffer for a couple of hours on this if you want.
Querol 9 Feb 2025 00:54
Mastered but...was really unbearable, and I hope that Game of the Week/Month is the last time they release an RPG that's only in English, for those of us who know little it's confusing
TheOrion 9 Feb 2025 05:11
how to install pls I can't play the game
YouShouldFeel 9 Feb 2025 07:49
Softlocked by the mouse deciding to be in two places at once after going to the movie theater. This is not a good hack. Very buggy and utterly cryptic after a certain point.

Infinite Potassium

Shoutouts to bugmeat for writing the guide that helped me master this in like 45 minutes without softlocks.
Yoh4948 9 Feb 2025 14:08
Peak fiction
DetectiveSadist 9 Feb 2025 15:47
Just got a couple achievements left to go after getting AOTW and then I never have to play this damn game ever again...
OpheliaEnigma 9 Feb 2025 17:15
Mastery #13, wowo I thibk this would be completely impossible without a guide. And even with the guide had to restart 2 times due to softlocks. Its a big mess of a game honestly
Chronon 9 Feb 2025 23:34
I was able to avoid the soft locks by keeping the inventory at least 1 item from full. When checking the car you need 2 inventory slots.
Chronon 9 Feb 2025 23:37
Btw, here's the guide: https://pastebin.com/raw/aVwXKyE3

Make sure not to drop any item which is used later on the guide.

(Found the guide on google, the old link here didn't work)
OpheliaEnigma 11 Feb 2025 12:26
Chronon the link on the guide section of this page works and is better than the pastebin as it is more updated and has screenshots to help.

KelleyBean 13 Apr 2025 00:50
Mastery #39! Seriously guys, use the guide. It takes this game from a Hitchhiker's Guide level of frustrating confusion to a fun hour-long trip of chaos.
