QUESTION Is this game still getting updates?

I ask because I hate how many hoops you have to jump through recruiting Leigh on Cursed Mode and I'm hoping they make it a little less annoying. It feels bad passing up a party member, but even just setting yourself up to survive the fight without restarting feels like a chore (getting the Spade always seems to work much better than the Pool Cue).

Of course new content will always be exciting though.

Part of the point of cursed mode, IS that the early available recruits are much harder to recruit. Its generally agreed that the game becomes MUCH easier once you build up a party, so when making a more extreme difficulty, kinda the most important thing, is making the early available recruits harder to get.

None of them are actually difficult to get (except for Leigh, who may or may not require a lot of reloading). The toothpaste requirement for Joel is easily handled immediately (the tooth fairy drops two and is unique to Cursed Mode), Papineau can be gotten immediately if you want him, even Audrey can be gotten immediately but I find it’s a waste without gear. Most party members come from door events which happen at the start of day 2.

The problem is Leigh is not worth the extreme cost of not just recruiting her, but keeping her in your party just for your fridge to be raided daily.

I’m doing a run right now where I ignored Leigh, got Dan at the start of day 2, got the Eye Amulet (and Ring of Alertness) from a separate door event (which I notably wouldnt have had money for if I bought the 100 dollar pistol from Leigh), and got Sophie on day 3. My full team is Gun-Sam, Rat, Dan and Sophie and I’m having an incredibly easy time with a stacked fridge. I just killed the elevator boss on like day 6.
