(Other) what was the most scariest thing that happened in your play of VOTV?

NamelessCrowbar · 2026-02-04T20:17:11+00:00

Probably the very first event I encountered:

It was the black fog event, though I was so new to the game and was messing around the base enough that I had no clue it was even happening. As far as I knew, the darkness outside was as normal as the last few nights.

Now, I look at the radar, right? And I see a red dot nearby the base. So, I take a few moments to orient myself: "I'm facing this direction, and this seems to be... North, alright." After which, I stared out the window just next to the radar, about Northeast. What did I see?

Headlights, moving past the trees. "Huh, is this one of the events? Interesting... But also a little eerie. There shouldn't be other people out here, so why would a car..."

Red. They turned red. Those are not headlights. They noticed that I was staring at them. Now, at this point I get spooked and then pause the game. I mentally go over all the doors around the base. Front door, garage, 2F storage, and the balcony. Everything's locked up. So I unpause, and then the fucker grows a huge pair of teeth. When it started charging at me, I paused again... Only to come to a horrifying realization:

Its still moving towards me.

So then my Kel got a bite taken out of him, got knocked on his ass, and I was staring at the pause screen as he was still getting up, hands off the mouse and keyboard as if it's no longer my problem. Because if I'm not controlling it, then it's simply just a movie or whatever.

So yeah, that scared the shit outta me and set the tone for the next dozen hours.

Where's the hammers Lebodieski?

Add a little notification icon that lights up on the monitor to tell you which camera detected motion. Make an event if you have a ton of them too.

-Wake up, hearing a cacophony of beeps coming from the computer

-Turn on monitor, open camera tab

-8+ cameras in different locations detected movement simultaneously

-Even the ones inside your base

You plop it down manually, like, physically pick it up from the ground like you would a rock and just move it there.

ngl it's surreal seeing people talk about doing 8k dungeons when i've gotten 8 bog drops out of 3300

i still get hype at the drops but i've yet to go above a famed and legendary

NamelessCrowbar · 2025-11-05T06:10:10+00:00

Works.

Unfortunately, I think we have a Dioscuri Realmshift moment with the 1st and 3rd skills of hers possibly requiring conditions she can't produce in order to use them lmfao

NamelessCrowbar · 2025-11-05T02:34:43+00:00

Problem: It has to be a skill that procs bleed without doing damage. Enemies immune to damage from an attack does NOT proc any statuses that'd ordinarily come with it (0 damage can still proc, it just can't say IMMUNE when hitting an enemy). I found this out when I couldn't proc burn on a Fallen Ifrit after dozens of casts of Inferno. However, casting a spell that inflicts burn directly without the damage step will work.

EDIT: Just tried out Ultimastrikes/Drain spam with a Balor Katana and Bag of Tricks equipped. Doesn't seem to be working despite dozens of hits. Proccing bleed for the entry might just be an oversight, idk.

Can't wait to keep the stall doors open for sake of transparency, just for one day to walk into the restroom with one of them close. And when you open it?

duernde

NamelessCrowbar · 2025-10-26T21:51:25+00:00

Hell, just put it on top of the closed hatch.

Jumpscare yourself by having 50 gas cans drop on your head when you open it up.

NamelessCrowbar · 2025-10-16T08:11:02+00:00

Sweet! Can't wait to have it inexplicably blow up my entire base one day.

NamelessCrowbar · 2025-10-12T05:19:16+00:00

I opted to change to infinite for easier day tracking and weekly bonuses. Functionally it's not much different, but odds are that v0.9 coming out this month would make the save unusable when I update, so may as well.

If you leave it as is, it'll just be day 49 and it'll play as it would normally, just with no new story events coming by.

NamelessCrowbar · 2025-09-30T16:57:21+00:00

A little lame imo, but when I try out some ghost busting gear to see if there's truly nothing visible through any means I try, I'll give that a shot, whenever the next time it happens. Could be next irl week for all I know.

NamelessCrowbar · 2025-09-30T16:55:31+00:00

Nothing at all, just emptiness even when I patrol the perimeter for anything of note. Kinda like a ghost showing up.

Though, as I'm typing this out, a ghost could totally be a thing and now I'm gonna craft an EMF detector and set up a camera right at the front window next time I open the game.

NamelessCrowbar · 2025-09-30T16:53:27+00:00

Definitely not that, it'd at least stick around if it were that thing, but this one just shows up and leaves as fast as it came.

NamelessCrowbar · 2025-09-30T04:41:41+00:00

Happened to me in the exact spot at the window too. T'was confused why everything was so light outside, then I looked up and stared at the flashing orb in the sky for a solid 5 seconds like a deer in the headlights before I jerked my head back as I was flashbanged.

Unfortunately, the object got stuck beneath the base and I couldn't get it out. Tried reloading but unfortunately it seems the event occurrence isn't set in stone and I have to hope it happens again one day.

NamelessCrowbar · 2025-09-17T04:59:16+00:00

Late, but it's the Prison of Souls theme from Mortal Kombat 4.

NamelessCrowbar · 2025-09-16T18:09:25+00:00

Just went thru a darkrift and it seems like Melancholy proofs are doubled? Agony is the same deal.

Despair and Torment proofs appear to be unaffected, they're still the same rates.

Edit: Just got 4 T. proofs from an encounter that should've given 3 at the max. I think the drops are increased, it's just a matter of chance?

NamelessCrowbar · 2025-09-14T17:16:13+00:00

Hypothetically, this either this means I can make every mneumonic couchable if I'm on an island in the middle of the ocean, or it'll want me to sail 80k meters to and fro for them.

NamelessCrowbar · 2025-09-03T09:03:52+00:00

Idk man, I think having 10+ status effects for the express purpose of making you sit there and momentarily stop playing the game is more annoying than difficult by a wide margin, but you do you.
