Events

Now that we've got that over with, lets take a look at the rest of the game. Assuming you've gone ahead and entered your home this is what you'll see.A lot of the things here are just flavour. You can interact with the window, cupboard, light switch and socket. You can watch TV, change clothes and look out the peephole.However the important buttons are the bath, storage and investigations.The bath will let you once between investigations recover either 1 STA, 1 REA or gain 5% exp. There is no reason to not take the exp before your first investigation so bathe away.The storage is where any extra items will be sent and where you can choose to store or take anything.The investigations screen is where you can move on from your home and get into your next mystery and is where the game really begins.You'll be brought back home between every investigation so make use of this time to take a bath assuming the gods are nice this run.After picking your investigation you'll leave for the city.

These are things that happen based on the location you choose and occasionally the old god in play. They usually have a choice to make and occasionally one or more choices will require an item, ally, spell or perk. Upon choosing either the set result will happen or a virtual dice will be rolled and checked against your stats to see if you pass a check. if you do one result will happen, if not something else. Do note that a pass does not always mean something positive.
