I feel like this would actually be great if so much wasnt stacked against you. A timer to an unbeatable monster, monsters are damage sponges, AND durability to items. Unless you get insanely lucky things just get worse and worse as you spend more time in it, as opposed to better as you move forward and find more stuff. This is super early in development, though so hopefully things will get eased up on a bit.
The game pauses when you open the map. The map also shows you exactly where the next level is so ideally what you want to do is plan the quickest route to the next level, picking up chests if you can along the way. Also keep in mind, if you switch floors the timer will pause, going forward or back a level always pauses the timer. I'm hoping that this changes because you really have to abuse that mechanic starting out if you want to make any kind of meaningful progression and it makes hiding redundant when it doesn't even pause the timer. The timer should only ever count down when you're seen and being actively chased by an enemy.

There's a fallback if you hit rock bottom i.e. no money/weapons, if you talk to the shop chick she'll give you a free shiv with weak damage but high durability, with it you can at least kill the eye-mouth-zombie chicks by stun locking them to scrounge up some money.

I got that shiv but I just gave up. The bad hotboxes that give enemies free hits on you as you run past them and trying to move VERY quickly with about 30 seconds to each level thanks to the timer is killing it for me. I wouldnt be so bad but I cant get farther than floor 7 before it all goes wrong and my money is constantly sitting there. Id say if there was 1 change they need to make to really help things, its to not drop ALL your money. Im losing resources but have no way to get any new ones. Its just a bad setup that means once things go wrong they will only ever decline and you cant turn it around. I really like the game otherwise and it kills me but man, this is a giant swing and miss.

Yeah but good luck even GETTING to the boss AND being able to beat it.
You can beat the first boss with any melee weapon using just timed blocks to reflect her fireball. You don't even need a gun. There have been tips above that makes the dungeon clearing very easy if you follow them.

Can someone make an infinite weapon durability cheat and a cheat to freeze the stalker countdown?
nope time count and weapon durability it's impossible to cheat

for weapon durability - you just Cheat gold and upgrade Str. and handling over 400 or All Status over 400
for the countdown - just wait for 0.0.3. It will kill purified that Stalker (boss room) to remove time

I hope you realize this is a skill issue on your behalf. You pointing your finger at the game for you not being able to beat it when the majority is reminds me of IGN journalism ("too much water" type of criticism).

Spillthebeans basically laid it out for you, but you're probably trying to do a DOOM run on a game where strategy matters. You need to know when to 1) hide, when to 2) fight + stun + run away, when to 3) fight + fuck and when to 4) dash towards the door. You also need to know when to explore for resources or focusing on the next level.

If you're going to try and be a one-man army on limited resources, you'll (spoiler alert)

My current save has 15 Repair Kits, 20 Health Potions and 10 Aphrodisiacs. At this point, I can run and gun. But I had to grind these resources first.

Enemy HP is pretty nuts, a basic grunt takes like 5 axe hits to go down, and the axe is super slow. Since there's also not much space to backtrack and kite usually, you're more or less screwed if you have to fight more than 1 or 2 enemies at once.

It can be downright brutal starting out but as you play and learn where enemies spawn and understand that sometimes, with certain floor generations, it's just flat out better to rush the exit, it then becomes much easier to manage. For your first run you actually don't want to fight anything at all if you can help it but if you do, have sex with them then run back to the previous floor (if it's closer) and return so the timer is paused and you can regroup. Your main goal should be to complete 2 full runs as soon as possible so you can beat the boss and no longer have to worry about the timer. The boss is an absolute cakewalk if you get in close and parry her fireballs.

As an aside, if the dev ever reads this then I'd suggest he make her sometimes dodge away from the player rather than from side to side as you can easily shut her down once you get close.

I hope as the dev develops the game that he moves some enemies to further floors because this can really sour a new players experience as some layouts are a beginners trap.

Hello guys, the game is not bad, but there is a BUT, farming money is pennies, cheating, that is, changing it to another amount will not work because Saving is lost, because without money it is difficult to pump up a character + make a purchase, especially durability in weapons, a box - repair for weapons 3000, ammo 1000, if you die you lose everything, and in order to return back you need to go through half the map in order to save + recover, monsters - monsters you kill in 1-2 minutes they are resurrected again, there is another problem, if a monster noticed you everything is lost kill one monster, the one who noticed you timing will not stop even if you kill it, the whole pack will come, max timing 3 minutes, and here the question is how the player can go through 15 floors in 3 minutes, and the boss mmm speed bomb movement + damage is normal, it just won't work to kill, she has armor, you can only kill the boss in her own room, and in regular corridors she will just fly and try to KILL you, she gives away ammo, you can't carry a little more ammo + e mutant Tanker burns ammo wow, AVT machine gun Tomson - just spits like sevens, normal weapon pellets, to kill a tanker at least 20 shots, Tanker girl with an axe, no skill reload speed no skill speed zmag - sword, axe, pipe, close combat you will suffer and for the speed zmag weapon, one saves you weapon pellets. well and easily AVT. , when buying you get a weapon + ammo for it completely, that you don't need to buy ammo for it already pleases, artifact - what to buy the price is 1 million, and to sell the artifact 50,000, L-Logic, I thought buying an artifact is 1 million and sales are 500,000, yeah, sales are 50,000, 50,000 CARL, then the keys, not very effective, there falls out the same junk, there you can find weapons even in ordinary cases, weapons fall out of the case very very rarely including a box for repairing weapons, then if you go back outside and go straight you will find abandoned ladies, next to the house there are boxes there in the box of money, the amount of 500-3000 coins can be snatched from there, but there is a minus you need to stock up on medicine to save your sanity, without it you will die, there are NO mutants there, they are only in the tower + if you lose your sanity from nowhere the mutant will grab you.

for buv reply The map is native, my advice is to run to the 1st floor, pick up boxes and back to the altar, and this is a dekilka once you need to do and you will be able to save money, and try not to go far from the doors, so that it would be easier to return back, + outside, so the same where the abandoned lady is, there you take the money and return back to the tower and you farm money like that, if from the outside, then buy medicine to save your sanity + adrenaline, and in the tower look for narrow corridors so that the boxes are close by so that you don't have to run far, Good luck to everyone ,

in one location there are 4 mutants including a boss, I didn't find the keys for the doors
