Wake up disoriented, covered in broken glass and unidentified goo. "Ah, must be Tuesday."

I remember having such a horrible time with this game. 10/10

You know life’s gone to hell when your only bastion of hope is Detroit

I'm so excited you're playing post-apocalyptic hobo cannibal simulator.

1:11:35 "I don't know why everyone is a maniac..." actually, if you try to talk to most of them, you'll exchange a few words, and then be on your way. Some of them just run away the moment they realize you don't want to fight them.

You and Ssethtzeentach are the only people I've seen actually show this game off. Love it

Underrail playthrough would be legendary.

"What happened to my crowbar?" You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!

he's finally playing it. thanks for making my day, gentle amphibian

You would think the dogs would think twice about messing with a guy wearing a dogman coat

My Go To build was almost always this: TRAPPING - A must have. Being able to forage for food more effectively, make snares, 'set trap' option in combat encounters, scavenging is safer, and make fire when/where ever was just invaluable. You get SO MUCH utility out of it. RANGED - Astoundingly powerful. You basically have a gun with craftable ammo in the form of the bow & arrow. (Same goes for the sling! Never underestimate the ability to surpress enemies with a hail of pebbles!) LOCKPICKING - makes looting substantially more profitable as it gives you a massive loot bonus in places like old houses or apartments. Lockpicks tend to wear out pretty fast, but you can just recraft them with the materials they deteriorate into. BOTANY(OPTIONAL) - Easy mode, IMO, as you will literally never run the risk of starving if you use this. Particularly if used in conjunction with TRAPPING. A little hungry? Stop by and scavenge a forest and have yourself a picnic of berries and mushrooms. TOUGH - Makes you less likely to die to b***s**t deaths in combat encounters(be prepared for those, It's kind of this game's version of 'Getting X-Comed') Also, you can headbutt people in combat, and who doesn't love that? :p HIDING & TRACKING (OPTIONAL) - relatively cheap and allows you to be a sneaky boi. Great for hit and run tactics where you can wound an enemy and then track them from a distance. METABOLISM (RED) - Not even really a negative trait, IMO. You need to eat and drink more often, but you heal faster. Pretty easy to offset if you're running BOTANY/TRAPPING MYOPIA (RED) - Basically free trait points as you can replace it with EAGLE EYE once you reach the city and have a chunk of change for the surgery. General advice - Make noise traps before sleeping. They will save your ass. Don't attack DMC guards unless A)You are obscenely well prepared B)feel like dying - They tend to travel in packs, can call in murder drones as back-up, and will always be hostile once you piss them off. If you see a dude with a blue sash, stay away. Random story encounters can and will kill you. Kind of my one gripe with the game as usually there's zero indication as to what the result might be unless you have the wiki open. Bit of a pain to lose hours of progress to something so arbitrary. Looking forward to more episodes!

>episode doesn't start with a zoom and "Hello." *okay.jpg*

Fun fact: the Merga Wraith (the one that appears when you remove the talisman) can be killed, and grants the hidden "Legendary" perk, which immediately grants the other two hidden perks. Though, admittedly, it's pretty much required to have one of those two hidden perks (achievable through your actions within a save only) in order to kill it.

10/10, best depiction of how Michiganders feel about the Michigan/other states borders.

You are the complete opposite of so many other toxic unlikable streamers/videographers out there, it is so refreshing.

This is great for when I'm exercising or cooking. Thank you again, keep up the good work.

NEO Scavenger brought me back in to pc gaming. Only had a laptop at the time and it was one of the few games that ran well on it... Spent 200+ hours in it. I then built my first pc in 2013, and then my current pc in 2018. Love this game, and the impact it had on my life.

Oh man this brings back memories from back when Falcon used to play this game along with the insane modded series.

I've had a shit ton of nightmares recently but falling asleep to this helped. Dreamt about scavenging in some old building

First time I played I was devoured in my sleep by a horde of feral dogs. Second time, I killed an unconscious guy and got his clothes, a backpack, a shotgun and a single boot. Nice play.

I put on Nathan’s Sandbox Factorio playlist, woke up to this and now I’m subscribed to your VoD’s channel and your main channel! I love your content and your voice is very satisfying! Now I’m going back to sleep. Goodnight

I remember how psyched I was when I discovered that combining water, tree bark, and fire would give me tea, which stopped me from dying of whatever diseases are in that river.

I can just imagine the amazing life you'd come up with if you played UnReal World lol

I love that i knew the last character was doomed like 40 minutes before he died and got to just listen to him do everything he could to make it worse while trying to fix it. PS i played the shit out of this on mobile. Theres a zoom feature to help navigate the inventory. It takes some getting used to but its not too bad.

You and Sseth is what drove me to finally fully understand and beat the entire game, and boy was it a journey. From running away in terror of dog furry to killing an extraterrestrial being out to assassinate me, i still remember the day i foolishly thought that eating raw meat and unpurified water was a good idea. A few minutes later and i was lying on the ground with gastroenteritis and food poisoning hopelessly drinking tea in hopes of curing my own miserable self

been playing this nonstop for the last week, so glad to see you playing

So glad to see Neo Scavenger getting some love, this game is never spoken about but I love it.

This is a welcome surprise. Also as others have stated the Neo Scav Extended mod is fantastic and once you play with it you'll likely never go back.

"It is cool and damp outside. It must be Florida" That is impossible. Cool weather was outlawed in the Florida constitution, the price for breaking this law is immediate death

I love this game. I wish there were more like it. 50+ attempts years ago. This game is perfect for what it has to work with. "You're an idiot and a lycan is chasing you out of a building" better intro than 75% of games these days.

I would love to see a complete play through of this game. I hope you are the ambiguous amphibian to do it! Love your work!

I remember playing this when it was on showcase at PAX East 2015 Playing on panel was a bizarre experience, especially since it was the first time I got to enjoy a con by myself. Meeting the devs behind the game was even more fun!

Fucking love NeoScavanger and got called out immediately "Very Esoteric for the people who like it"

"oh, those berries were poisoned" - Alexander Supertramp

"Nah, ez game... huh, good thing didn't die of hypothermia"

I keep coming back this this game every so often. there's something addicting about the looting. I only recently invaded the military base, normally I'd save up for robot eye replacement surgery by hacking devices for bank data and selling cart loads of tannin tea and then hunt cannibals.

I like to take botany for food, and I'll also take insomniac most of the time as big side effect of being a restless sleeper is decreasing the likelihood of you being killed in your sleep.

This is one of my all-time favorite games. 1) Shacks in the woods are awesome. 2) The two legendary traits are easy to get in a couple in-game weeks, and with both, literally nothing in the game can harm you.

2:42:10 if you stand on the same tile and wait through till morning, the shop inventory will reset. This is especially good when you have large ticket items to sell like bullets. Then you can cherry pick what you want just by spending a couple of days at the shop.

Oh god. "I'm dehydrated to death and just made it to the place with infinite electricity. Time to sell my water analyzer and soup can!"

ah yes instant death simulator

Why is this game not talked about more or played on rogue like channels? It looks perfect

"I know how to play this game." mere seconds later: "oh no, where are my water bottles?" comedic gold right there xD This is soooo hard to watch when you know the game. He has great talent for jumping to all the wrong conclusions and doesn't pay attention to any status messages or event text... Guess it makes it kind of entertaining if you can bear it ^^"

As someone with 350h plus it’s hurting my soul seeing you just attack you need to use the trip headbutt plus obscure path for free stunneds while smashing there heads in you got extremely lucky gg tho love your shit

WOOOOOOOOO!!!!! GET HYPED FOR INVENTORY MANAGEMENT!!!

When healthcare in future dystopia Detroit is more affordable than actual Detroit..

"i missed a man who was literally stunned" lmao

Pro tip from someone who has beaten this game always use "Lure" and "Create Obstacle" whenever they show up in combat they work almost 100% of the time and can cripple an opponent without you even needing to be near them.

Wakes up, gathers a stick, makes a weapon, kills a man for his clothing... 'So that's pretty much the game. Any questions?" LOL

One word: Botany If you have Botany you can move to the city and sell huge quantities of tea for fast income, like $$$$ per day. Drinking it yourself keeps the doctor away too. And as another bonus, you can treat wounds with it too, and treat bandages with it for sterilization instead of water. Just set up a camp on a water source, grab like lots of small twigs and water, and start boiling with a pan. Further bonus: You get to scavenge for berries, which is early game food and drink from forests.

Falling down two ravines in a row is just legendary rng

2:16:47 You aren't actually *losing* all your blood, the alcohol is thinning it out! (You are however, drinking a few days after severe internal bleeding that you "fixed" with a rag) If you're normal and healthy, you'll just get drunk and recover in the morning. If you were bleeding out and *then drank alcohol*, you would bleed out faster. And if you were drunk and got cut, you'll lose blood and possibly die faster. Instead of adding a BAC meter, the game represents it as the lost blood meter dropping.

This vid instantly added NEO Scavenger to my library. Thanks man

I really enjoyed watching you play this game. Keep the content coming dude!

This one makes me think of Sword of the Stars: The Pit and the excellent Stoneshard Also some old Warcraft III Wilderness Survival custom maps

Ooh, the guided tour of survival games that is your channel continues into the wilderness :D There's an unprecedented surge of choice in so many of my favourite genres, I can't play them all! It's not a candy store, it's like a whole candy mall!

"A dirty rag is better than no rag" Things survival sim players will always understand.

Nearly won this game with a save game that took me nearly 3 months to carefully edge my way through the story. There's so much under the surface of this game! A wonderful little creation

This game has one of the best soundtracks ever

Holy shit I’ve played this game for years and ALWAYS thought it was a niche game IM SO HAPPY YOUR PLAYING IT!!!

i love your videos! they really do help me calm down. I've been having a hard time at work lately and you help me out a lot. thanks!

love a good old fashioned homeless glass fight over hopefully anything

Yess! you found the other legend, second to project zomboid. I'm so glad to be watching your playthrough- shot ! Man you're making that sweet sweet content, I appreciate you.

I tried the demo when it first showed up years back and I was so confused but intrigued, unfortunately it was very limited in the demo, and I'm so glad someone I enjoy watching found it!

2 hours, 49 minutes and 29 seconds of pure joy

I loved this game, honestly one of the best.

I love this I've Watched An hour and 20 minutes of this. I've loved it all❤

That Whiskey was like 200 dollars and he just straight downed half the bottle lmao

@33:58 fighting a feral dog, "...and it passed out from unbearable pain. I don't even really wanna fight this dog." sounded so remorseful

HELL YES, the very beginning always reminds me of 28 days later because hospital gown, and plastic bags

Does anyone else feel like every time he plays a new game he says "One of the most requested games on my channel." Not complaining, just amusing. d:

"Hopefully that's the last of my dog trouble" -Man who was attacked by dogs seconds later

I do a lot of video watching while I'm doing other things, like gaming. That is to say, I'm not actually watching the video. Since NEO Scavenger is so text heavy, and the ambience is mostly audio, I can game while I listen. And of course having everything read by my favorite amphibian, ambiguous as it may be, is just icing.

I had this on my steam library, years ago. This is good

"ah crap, I just turned my crowbar into a squirrel trap"

Alternate title: "An ode to plastic bags and the consequences of my own actions"

Love your style narrating NEO Scavenger

Got strong Sopranos vibes from the part where you were stranded in a wasteland eating individual packets of condiments and freezing

scrambling around for food two tiles from a forest was painful

Oh my god I cannot wait to play this on my steam deck I know it’s older but at least for future comment goers: when you don’t have botany and can’t tell the edibility of berries, blue are always safe, red can be both, and white are always poisonous. So risk red in dire situations I guess but otherwise just eat blue

"Has anyone ever played a morally correct version of NEO Scavenger?" he asked as I left a tip at the dinner after my meal

Dude! I didnt even know you had this channel too. Made my day.

Poor man's Sseth Tzeentach lol

THE CROWBAR - you can disassemble the squirrel trap and get the crowbar back, I'm fairly certain. Well, maybe next update lol also..... LEFT shoe---> LEFT FOOT you can't switch them. BAREFOOT is BETTER than wrong shoe

I’ve been looking for this game after seeing this video when it came out!

Semi-textbased apocalypse hobo simulator. Cool.

I remember getting a shopping cart and gun in like 2 minutes from sheer luck, THAN my game glitching out and accidentally eating red berries 10/10...

“If you listen closely you can hear the woods” *stops chewing immediately so I can hear*

Has trapping and is starving but only ever builds a squirrel snare on accident *internal screaming intensifies*

Its sad the developers never got into their work again and released a 2nd part to the game. With that being said: Hobo Scavenger is a really great game. :) There is also a quite decent mod, which adds more traits and other stuff to the game. Have fun AP.^^

I need more of this game with you talking over it.

I killed a man for this hoodie with a sling, 10/10

Slept in the woods in this game and got poked to death with a spear

I had the worst week trying to find this video so I could find the game thought he deleted the vid but now I see this is a vod channel

I used to love this game, played it WAY back. Nice to see someone playing it in 2021.

One of my favorite video games of all time

YOU ATE HUMAN MEAT????? YOU FOOL, YOURE DOOMED!!! DOOMED!!!

This made the inner-most curves of my brain smoothen as I remembered playing this or something that was very like this as a whee lad

this game looks like every videogame from the 90s combined

I needed more of this
