Na I literally B-lined the Mommy then all of a sudden I got bummed by the coffin. Wish that was the case though, it makes more sense.
Current public version can equip you a living collar when
- either Living Collars perk is selected so anyone can equip one on you
- or you hit specific negative rep treshold with any goddess
- or (with non-zero non-100% chance) you pass out (conditions unclear - probably becoming stunlocked for long enough and/or standing in a corner enduring molestation is enough)
- (speculation) or you got one by some "special interaction". Being taped then locked in by a coffin is one of those. Rope Kraken can do something like that too
The other nonsense I found was that if the purple things manage to grab you and take you to the shadow dimension, you're gonna become an obsidian gimp for the rest of the run.
Dodge the trails made by eyes. And avoid the boss monster.
(I'm under impression that you're playing some dated version... current shadow realm is not quite a walk in the park - but unless you're VERY unlucky, you shouldn't get hit by even a single Dark Desire effect)
Ah that makes sense, this game has a strange "random BS problems" to "explained BS solutions" ratio.
Don't mention it in their Discord, ever. People were harassed there for less. By moderators.
I've tried assembling a potential changelog for things which could "fix" this game, without straying too much from (assumed) original developer's intent. Just, you know, if I'll ever have enough time to fix this thing which I had a misfortune to buy.
However, I've ended up with absolutely humongous list of changes needed.
Most of which were (estimated to) requiring ridiculous amount of work to implement.
One of least tedious things EXPECTED was cleaning up the mess with "difficulty to put vs difficulty to remove" values of restraints.
HOWEVER, since whole game is a colossal .js file, getting values for comparison and analysis (not mentioning actual fixing) requires writing a parser OR disproportional amount of manual labour.
A singular file with carefully sorted item definitions?
Screw that. It's adults' boring stuff. Better write as one pleases then blame some mysterious legacy code if something bugs out.
