Paul Snyder's Eldritch (http://store.steampowered.com/app/252630/) Tips:
- Don't loot bodies until you're better at the game (looted enemies respawn).
- Best weapon combo is dagger and revolver (save bullets for flyers, annoying shooters, and punching holes in walls with the destruction amulet).
- Sneak as much as possible, progress slowly, explore everywhere.
- Conserve health at all costs, Medical Kit improves survivability.
- Jump boots, lockpick, or destruction amulet make keys unnecessary.
- Experiment with all the spells; Cloak, Hypnotize, Materialize (and Knock, when you're starting) are good to teach you different strategies.
- Destruction amulet is overpowered. Use it and overuse it.
- Stick with the main game (beginning with Dagon, World 1) to start; when you're ready to for the Mountains of Madness, climbing boots are essential to avoid icicle damage...play the main game to get them.
- Halloween world is brutal, but speed-running it to get some equipment before playing the main game makes everything easier (hit fountains if possible for extra health; if you die during this pre-game run from the bloody shoggoths, you aren't out much time.
- The fish people in the Dagon world go down really easy to the knife, ditto the (non-shooting) spiders. Once you're comfortable with basic survival, you can net lots and lots of artifacts by looting them every time they respawn. A great place to do this is the third world in the first sequence, where a huge number of them are swarming around the ziggurat.
- You can go back up to worlds you've visited previously...say, if there's something at a store that you didn't have enough artifacts for the first time through.
