The Void.....help?

So i just started playing The Void, and wow its pretty cool, but very confusing to me. im only like 30 minutes in, and ive gotten the donor and shell glyph, and have put color into some of the trees in the garden? lol sorry i dont know how to explain this any better. But when i leave the garden and draw a trail to go to the next place....this cutscene comes out of nowhere with this guy talking, and it goes back to the main menu...did i die or somethin? and how? lol im so confused

....help...

You probably ran out of 'colour' in your hearts which act as your life source. Colour depletes when your in the void, hit 'b' to bring up the menu so you can put more colour in your hearts, if you have no colour left (found on the right hand side) then its game over.

Can't help you but thank you for reminding me that I own this game :lol: Seriously if there was a addicted steam sale buyers anonymousI would definitely be a member!

Could u maybe give me a little rundown of the mechanics of the game, and just basically a simple layout of how to play the game lol. NO SPOILERS PLEASE ! :)

Haven't played the game myself yet. I just wanted to point out that there is a user made difficulty patch out there that adds easy and medium modes.

When you collect colour from the enviroment it goes to the right hand side. When you are in the void colour drains from your hearts and converts into Nerva which is colour on the left hand side. Colour from the left hand side is what you use to interact with the environment, such as putting colour into the trees in the garden.

You put colour (from the left hand side) into trees so that in the next cycle you will be able to harvest the trees and receive colour on the right hand side. The more colour you put in from the left hand side into a tree, the more colour you can harvest in the next cycle, trees also give out colour for about 3 cycles with depleting amounts each cycle. Its also ideal to put as much colour into each tree as possible, when you draw the donor glyph on a tree there is a dial in the bottom left hand corner that fills up, try to fill that up to full.

Colour on the right hand side is the pool you draw from to act as life, each colour when placed in your hearts give passive bonuses. Depending on which colours you have in your hearts when you are in the void will dictate what colours get converted into Nerva on the left hand side.
Colour on the left hand side is what you use to interact with the environment such as drawing glyphs and attacking monsters.

G-Lord

These patches are a good idea, the game is quite hard and you can make mistakes early on which you don't know are mistakes until much later in the game where you get screwed and have to start again from a much earlier checkpoint/autosave.

thanks alot guys, this games really confusing me but i really like it. Can you explain how the cycles work and the timer thing that ticks away when im in the Void.

And how should i progress through the game? like am i trying to go all the way to the top of the Void map thing...do i have to do specific things in each of the "sections"?

and PS, whats the bets way to gain color on the LEFT side, cause i need to kill bad guys lol

Cycles are the first number at the top when your in the void. The second number counts down from 99 when you are in the void, when it hits 0 it goes to the next cycle.

Yea you pretty much go through the game by moving up the void and interacting with other Sisters. While you grow and collect colour.

whats the best and most efficient ways of getting color on the LEFT, cause im running out of "ammo" lol

And is there a way to know your done with each "section"? Like, are there things you have to do in each section before you move on or anything like that?

PS i realllly appreciate your help lol

The only way to get more colour on the left is to have colour in your hearts when your in the void, and just sit there. You can make time go faster if u move the dial in the bottom left corner when you are in the void, that will create more colour on the left but deplete your life source faster.

how do i leave the first chamber lol, ive killed the monsters for her and she told me i have to fill her hearts? lol ????

You fill her heart by drawing donor glyphs on her, the colour you use to fill her heart is from the left hand side. Fill two hearts and you can move to the next sisters chambers.

i dont see the hearts that i gott fill up, just these curved tube kinda trhings in the bottom right corner, i filled up one, and yea im confused
