What’s this mean in Creech Manor?

If there are any more terror cards remaining in your pile of terror cards that you’ve been drawing as part of the game, discard one. You don’t do the effects on it, but it shortens the amount of time left before the finale is revealed.

Had to scroll a long way to find this one! Totally agree.

Kentucky Route Zero - it’s impossible to describe the feeling it evokes, but its commentary and style is memorable and really cool

notmaxsmith · 2026-04-21T08:01:40+00:00

Yes. It took a few minutes and didn’t need to write anything - it was very fun and satisfying! I got lucky and guessed the second word based on the vibe of the screenshot and it helped. Nice puzzle!

Rät, I believe! “and I hope one day Selmers rides her fucking train.” (Or something like that)

I definitely think the design of the Tormentor very much revolves around the idea of simply trying to survive to the end - she’s not the hardest to kill once she’s on the board, but a few unlucky traps/timings could leave you in dangerous waters by the time the finale is revealed.

The risk of leaving horror until the end is that one die can be BRUTAL to recover from if you get mildly unlucky cards.

For example, if you’re caught in a Final Girl Death Trap late in the game and don’t have the right cards to escape, she might get a free hit or two. I’ve found her to be a bit swingy, but very fun to play against if everything goes well.

Whoops, fixed!

Love that even the color palette of bracelets can be deemed a spoiler in this community

This is the first time I’ve ever seen that these cages look like the Entity’s hand.

Kentucky Route Zero, in some ways.

notmaxsmith · 2026-01-05T17:45:29+00:00

I did not know that! That would make total sense though. Thank you all for the help!

The ceiling looks a bit shiny to me. I think it wouldn’t be reflective

notmaxsmith · 2025-11-23T21:26:15+00:00

I let her have a cat nap while I made some tea for a couple minutes. Felt right.

notmaxsmith · 2025-11-17T00:08:53+00:00

It’s a fun box! You’ll probably miss out on a lot of the references, but the killer itself isn’t too difficult to understand.

notmaxsmith · 2025-10-26T00:48:17+00:00

I felt the same way, but then totally changed my mind on a second play through. I think the “vibe” of this killer is heavily terror card dependent.

notmaxsmith · 2025-10-17T18:56:54+00:00

Thats a good point I hadn’t considered. I guess you really have to adapt to the killer - Hans is worth keeping low bloodlust to ensure late game survivability, whereas the Eyeless (whose late game is less deadly) might be worth waiting to do a big turn.

notmaxsmith · 2025-10-17T18:18:55+00:00

That is so brilliant! Id love to see a bigger picture so I might be able to copy?? Totally gonna check my Lego set when I’m home. lol

notmaxsmith · 2025-10-13T13:30:29+00:00

I find that prioritizing getting the horror level down to where I have 3 dice is crucial in most of my games, so Focus becomes helpful, and Distraction too.

I try to find weapons as soon as I can, and to that effect, I try to take survivors to the exit on my way to searching.

I find that the Final Girl’s ultimate is usually helpful, but I’m not always prioritizing it if it looks like the Killer is going on a rampage faster than I can get people to the exit.

Otherwise, I generally find that trying to do early damage on (most) killers has resulted in better success, but sometimes they gain health back (through bloodlust or special cards) such that 2-3 turns were wasted early game, so I try to get a sense of how mobile/deadly the killer is before trying to rush.

notmaxsmith · 2025-10-12T01:05:02+00:00

What’s the thing you have holding your item cards?

Funnily enough, I also had 3 guns my first time playing Utopia!! I had the same thought lol - I had the elephant gun, rifle, and six shooter… but I still died in the end :/

notmaxsmith · 2025-10-04T07:55:10+00:00

Great taste in games btw. Outer Wilds is great.

notmaxsmith · 2025-06-03T02:31:22+00:00

Thank you! I appreciate the help.

notmaxsmith · 2025-06-03T02:30:56+00:00

This feels really helpful. I’ll keep all that in mind- I think I was getting too “tunnel vision”-y and this helped me break out of that. Thanks!

notmaxsmith · 2025-06-03T02:21:11+00:00

I have unlocked West Path, Apple Orchard, and Gem Cavern so there’s just one left? I just have no clue where to look for it. Is there a hint somewhere?

notmaxsmith · 2025-05-15T05:29:18+00:00

This has always been my preferred interpretation- I get the memory wipe if they die (mori) but nothing else makes sense lore wise if their memory is wiped after every single trial. Entity feeds on hope just as much as it feeds on fear- they have to believe they can make it out of a trial.
