On A Scale Of 1 To 10 How Realistic Is After Dark Going To Be? Like Personal Hygiene, Their Smell (),

On a scale of 1 to 10 how realistic is After Dark going to be? Like personal hygiene, their smell (☠️), monthly cycles, other illnesses/sickness that characters could get?

This is a very specific question, and I've been thinking about it too without a clear answer. When does one go too far?

There are the issue of sunburn, the starting malus, and problems from not having enough pills or cigarettes. At one point, they even joke about their smell, and Abby mentions the diaper situation (if the baby is alive).

I can't really go further than that, though. Still, we can assume they take care of their needs wherever they are (preferably without others watching), and the pills they find include things that can help when they’re not feeling well.

Thanks for the compliment! You have no idea how happy I am that you're enjoying it ♥

Yes, hunger and thirst deaths will be implemented in the game, but for now, I'm treating them as potential issues just in case, lol.

So, if you don't drink and your thirst is maxed out, it's normal for MC to die. However, there's a bug with Dashingdon where, when you save and reload, sometimes your hunger and thirst levels stay the same as they were before you loaded. This means that if you reload to a point where your thirst wasn't as high, but you didn't drink before saving, MC might still die during the next stat check because the values didn't reset properly.

I'm working on an internal soft save system for the game, so I hope to fix this problem sooner rather than later!

Just came to say I died from thirst unu, I WAS JUST TRYING TO NOT GET MY SLEEP TO LOW!! ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ (I reached this before meeting Rain)

Just Came To Say I Died From Thirst Unu, I WAS JUST TRYING TO NOT GET MY SLEEP TO LOW!! (I Reached This

I am a good little kid who listens to the game they had been playing non stop for 3hs

Thank you for bringing this to my attention! Sometimes bugs are a little tricky, so I always need to check this kind of death scenes.

Questions, questions:

Were you getting your MC to drink water? If so, how much?

Did you save and reload this game before you died?

Hey! I’m just wondering when you were creating the wonderful characters of the in between, did you completely invent them from your imagination or did you base them off actors you liked? If so, who inspired you? Thank you 😁😁

You're very kind! ♥ All my characters are always original, and I usually don't focus much on their physical appearance—that’s because I have congenital prosopagnosia, so faces are really complicated for me. For the same reason, I couldn't say which real actors my characters look like. But if you have suggestions, feel free to share them—I think it's a funny idea! ☺

Some questions about After Dark that I received today on Discord!

Q: Does an MC's sibling not exist if you don't choose them at the start? A: The standard family is MC + parents. If you choose for them to have a sibling, then sibling it is! Q: Do we have the choice to check out the locked mall mentioned by Rain? A: No. Q: So still no saving the parents? A: No. Q: The nightmare scenes are implemented already or not? I don't think I'm triggering any nightmare scenes A: Not yet, but they will be implemented very soon!
