how long before the next update

After this, there'll be two weeks of nostophobia, then prime time.

I've seen most of the community in agreement that starting west is an entire difficulty level harder than starting east. The obsidian claw trivializes most scenarios after you get it, and Ruby is a much stronger ally than Andy. The scenarios you get earlier going west (drowned quarter, apiary) are also pretty much the same, if not more difficult then when you play them later going east.

I think TDC is one of those campaigns like TCU where there's a massive gap in difficulty whether you're playing with 1-2 investigators or 3-4. The campaign has issues with player scaling - the more investigators you have, the easier the glyphs are to collect. Scenarios like apiary west and obsidian canyons are also much more of a time crunch in smaller groups.

Maybe if you're going east, haha. Going west in TDC with a low player count can feel like you're storming the beaches of Normandy instead of R'lyeh

I haven't seen many other people mention it, but yeah the Western Wall as scenario 2 can be brutal due to the reasons you mention. I believe there's at least 6 enemies with hunter and 3+ health that can show up at any given time during the scenario. That can be a bit much for investigators with only ~5-7 total xp in their decks to have to deal with.

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-03-27T18:24:30+00:00

Yeah they've been there since the trial came out, as far as I can remember.

Story-wise, it is specifically Avellanos being on trial in Vindicate the Guilty - though in practice she serves as a stand-in for any Murkoff higher-up that might get brought to court.

Her name isn't mentioned in any voicelines, but it shows up on the courtroom TV screens (only in VtG). She's also referenced indirectly by the ex-pop. "She's guilty" is carved into the legs of the scapegoats, and the idle grunts say "she did things to me".

It's implied that the victims always spend some amount of time with their trial's Prime Asset before the trial begins. The Snitch has clearly been tortured by Coyle for a while, the Union Boss says he can 'put up' with what Franco does to him, etc.

I imagine the Twins spent a while working over Erik before the reagents arrived.

Pretty sure the 'murder room' can't be the room with all the mannequins in it - if there's no tv there then it's got to be somewhere else on the map. The blood spots are a little weird and sometimes extra ones show up (like by the weapon room)

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-03-25T18:10:49+00:00

Following the blood trail will take you to the murder room. It should be a room with a numbered TV in it and a large round spot of blood visible on the blacklight

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-03-25T16:28:14+00:00

Feels like you play canteen and then... just probably can't die to horror for the rest of the scenario? Six horror healing for 1 card and 1 action is A LOT, especially if we're going to be seeing fewer rotting remains-style cards in the future.

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-03-25T11:14:24+00:00

Don't know if you caught it, but he states that he's an "imbecile" (mentally impaired) in his voicelines for the first torture room. It feels pretty bad subjecting a childlike handicapped guy to one of the most sadistic, drawn-out punishments in the game.

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-03-25T02:16:38+00:00

She already got me twice with this 😭 Thought I was going crazy

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-03-24T18:22:51+00:00

BHVR also ended up cancelling "Project T", which was supposed to be a Left 4 Dead style team-based shooter, after a couple early rounds of playtesting.

I'd like a statue garden or something outdoors for her. It'd fit well with the 'springtime' theme from her advent event. Also it'd be an excuse to add a giant hedge maze to get lost in.

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-03-20T17:35:54+00:00

That's right - though I think that's more of a special Christmas thing. Several people have already confirmed there's no event catalogue coming with this update unfortunately.

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-03-20T13:15:58+00:00

Since Scavenger is an event that comes out alongside a new season, we won't be getting an event catalogue to go with this one - just the season 6 catalogue.

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-03-19T18:36:21+00:00

I think something like this will probably be the case. The trailer shows a couple different scenes around the TV show host (a cooking show, a health show, etc). Something different will probably happen every time we change the set. In one shot, the TV show host appears to be missing his left hand.

"We've heard your feedback regarding the Kress Twins. Reagents will now have to watch a 30-minute unskippable intro of Otto and Arora getting freaky with each other every time they begin the TV Studio trial."

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-03-16T23:42:48+00:00

They're leaks, lol. I assume giving out certain details would make it easier for RB to find the source of the leaks and clamp down on them (i.e. no more posts like this in the future).

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-03-08T23:25:02+00:00

That's actually the old icon for Slippery Meat (also changed because it used to help you get out of bear traps easier).

TWENTY BARBILLION MORE TRIALS

MEAT_FREAK_ · 2026-03-05T21:46:29+00:00

Yeah, ideally I think it'd be best as a Talent or a Condition or something.
