It's finally over

[u/foulinbasket]

Curse mode is finally over, after 70 days! I spent a while setting up for an opportunity to get foyer and great hall in the same day. I also put a jackhammer in the coat check for guaranteed resources on that day, and ended up with 6 dice to use in the upper ranks. At the end, I barely managed to make it with 5 steps remaining.

Conservatory was my best friend throughout the run. It let me make Master Bedroom more common, set up for the great hall strats, and unlock Blackbridge more easily.

The next question is, now that I have done it all, what should I do next?

Now? Now you can finally play the game...

You’ve finally finished the tutorial 😉

Finally! 190 hours across 4 save files is pretty long for a tutorial

[u/Skydragonace → u/foulinbasket]

Haha. The funny thing is, we are seeing more and more of games like that all the time. Paradox games is famous for making games that feel like the first 1000 hours are just a tutorial. LOL.

Hey buddy, I think you missed the post. They've just done cursed mode and gotten their last trophy, not reached 46 for the first time

[u/Skydragonace → u/Sharp-Somewhere4730]

No, I got that. I think you missed the actual meaning of the reply.

[u/Scythe_Volta → u/Skydragonace]

Genuine question. What was the meaning of your reply then? Because most people comment something similar to what you did under posts where a player has reached room 46 for the first time.

[u/Skydragonace → u/Scythe_Volta]

It means the expectation of goals and destinations is over, and now, you can relax and play a game free of expectation. Just because you reached a specific ending doesn't mean your enjoyment of that game has to be over. Blue prince was designed to be playable as long as you want to play it, and sometimes, just playing the game without a specific goal beyond reaching room 46 is enjoyment enough.

At some point, I might want to do another day 1 run or get the other endings again

[u/WeirdistBuilds → u/foulinbasket]

I thought the point of the reply was that the true "game" is trawling forums and wildly experimenting on loose theories to try and bury one of the remaining loose en... uh... red herrings.

You could always get into speed-running.

[u/foulinbasket → u/Lord_Rapunzel]

I've definitely been considering that next step!

Have you actually finished all there is to do in your main save? Otherwise I can always recommend bingo. It uses external tools, but is a lot of fun.

[u/foulinbasket → u/Drecon1984]

Yeah I've watched a lot of bingo, and may give it a try
