I have a Steam OS PC, it has a 9800X3D and a 9070XT Reaper. I’m playing at 4K, and just trying to have a stable frame rate at least 60fps. I have capped the game to 60FPS via steam overlay. I‘m playing with a Steam Controller 2026. I’m seeing the game at times hit 100% GPU usage when nothing is happening, also I move the character around, and then try to pan the camera around (right stick to move around, right touch pad to move around) I get a MASSIVE FPS tank. This also happens if I pan the camera then move. I dropped the game to 1440P that obviously reduced GPU usage, but I still see spikes and that movement/pan the camera issue. CPU isn’t bothered by this game at all, staying in low 50c range.

I can play Helldivers 2 and Warhammer 3 with no major issues yet somehow this game has issues?

So i did everything right checked every detail and still missed 4 of them like what the hell

Hellooooo, im new to the game and I've come to find out making enough money for the surgery is pretty hard so I'll have to let x amount of doppelgangers go through and decorate the store and everything but is there a rough number of them I have to let through or is it just random/easier to let everyone come through especially the chill doppelgangers like the dude thats high (unless theres others) and deal with a harder entity fight?

I play solo, I always throw the rats away, keep my rating up, serve quickly, get the bonuses from the boss, keep the store stocked, chill with the guilty, use the spin wheel, never kill humans, etc but I never can afford the surgery at the end. The closest I have come is $230 at night 13. What am I doing wrong?

Ok so I've not seen any tutorials to find the missing dog so has.. anyone managed to find the dog?? If so please do tell me how you did

sorry not sure best flair? But ya Bonnie and Clyde are the very first customers, do you think that was intentional?

Almost felt bad when he gave us coins in the shape of a heart, since I had shot at him 4 or 5 days in a row and he scampered off super fast every time, the little rascal!

all the game is doing right now is throwing doppelgangers to me with like 2 actual human costumers, when the game becomes from "there are doppelgangers betweens there humans" to "this guy probably a doppelganger but i don't know why" it's kinda starting to lose it's charm

I missed this my first play through but now on my second my gf noticed it and started NOPE NOPING out of the forest.
When you have to collect the limbs in the forest after you get all 15 near the middle back end you will hear a creepy loud breathing. According to my gf she saw a shadow figure appear behind a tree and then quickly hide. I heard it too but saw nothing and panic ran because the breathing was LOUD. Anyone seen or got footage of this? The few lets players ive seen on YouTube have missed this as well.

Edit: I found a letsplayer who experienced the same event but didn’t look at the tree in time to see the shadow, if you look up on YouTube a user named CaseOh at 1:52:00 they experience the same event and hear the loud breathing.

Obviously as the game gets updated, more customers will be added on, but I've gotten to endless mode and now I basically know every doppelganger on sight. With that in mind, here's some ideas I had to make you still have to rely on your observational skills.

• More variants: I would say most every character should have more than one variant so things are fresher. To use an example, that one gas pump doppelganger who says she was recording a wedding. Usually, you can find a wedding invite from a decade ago, proof she is a doppelganger. But maybe sometimes you can see the invite is from a current wedding and thus she is a real human, or it's from a current wedding but she gets the name of the couple wrong and that's the doppelganger proof.

• Subtler disfigurements: Some doppelgangers should have disfigurements that one has to take a closer look at to catch on. There's one doppelganger that has a bloody missing hand she claims is fine, which is proof she's a doppelganger. What if this one also had the missing hand, but it isn't bleeding so it's less obvious if you just take a casual glance? Or maybe a customer moves like a normal person, but one of their feet is pointing the wrong way even though they say their limbs are fine?

• Lookalike, but wrong descriptions: To use an example, the woman who has an eye tattoo on her hand. Normally, it goes that if the tattoo is on her left hand, she's good, but if it's on her right, she's a doppelganger. What if you had it that the eye tattoo can be on the correct hand, but have the eye itself be the wrong shape (a triangle instead of an oval, that kinda thing.

These are all the ideas I can think of in my current state of being tired and needing to go to bed, but I may update with more ideas if they strike me.

Their money is as good as human money is , you just have to survive the entity.

I finished the game. I want to continue playing on endless mode. I’ve tried to start night 14 twice now- I deep clean the entire store using the water hose, the entirety of outside and the restrooms including flushing the toilets. I stock the shelves. But both times it shows my cleanliness rating at 0%. What gives? Has anyone else experienced this and how’d you fix it?
