I'm looking to get back into FL after about a year of not playing but I've only used the shortlived phone app since it was something to do while I was out and there wasn't much incentive to play at home because other games took my attention. How well does this play on mobile browsers?

occasionally there's a lot of back-and-forth (say, if you want to do something to change the airs of london to get a certain option on a card) but it's perfectly serviceable

It boggles the mind.

In other news, Nemesis part 2 has some cool stuff in it. Just had an encounter with Cardinal's Honey.

Oh, and a seemingly mandatory challenge with a 9000+ echo cost requirement and 60% success chance on it out of nowhere.

The only major dont is dont sell stuff unless you have to. Youll need tons of random things later and having them laying around is better than not. (The bottom tier 'money' things are alright to sell when you need: jade, rostygold, brass, glim)

edit:
I guess "do" get a career as soon as you can (this gives a weekly income).
"Dont" max suspicion because its the only menace that can have a permanent effect.

I would avoid spoilers for a while. The game is mostly about reading when you get down to it.

Here's a pretty thorough guide. The only thing it's missing is the "Circumspect Envoy" heist in the Flit, which comes in at about 2 EPA depending on how well your heist goes. That's been my go-to recently since it's the most convenient of those options, and it's good for Making Waves if you need those.

That was probably the most frustrating exceptional story I've played in a while. I felt like I was being tricked into paying for it again. A good-ending mandatory choice labeled "this might help you later, potentially" that actually has the story anticlimactically terminate 5 minutes later if you choose not to take it.

I'll be happy to trade teeth and teeth-related puns once I'm out of the Storm God's mind, possible fulmination in hand. I won't be able to go as crazy as I did last year, since I liquidated most of my assets a couple weeks ago buying my second Overgoat, but I have enough clues for a few jars.

I want to make known that I'm down to fewer than 500 clues, so it will be a while before I can reciprocate the two most recent gifts I have been offered. Also that I make no promises regarding the quality of the pun or other wordplay received, but each one is hand crafted and no two are alike. I will resume handing them out as soon as I can book a few more guest lectures or enlist some more help with mirrors.

The fact that my persuasive is 214 instead of 215 is still bugging me, but the viric dreams make me glad I decided to get back to the game again this year. So far I've played the scenario unlocked by being a crooked-cross with the Bishop and just bought Sinning Jenny's.

Yep, that's the stuff. If this is your ambition, I'd highly recommend being a correspondent for it.


I have now powered up my pony, sacrificed 3200 scraps-worth of veils-velvet for a questionable new quality, paid a visit to the Unconventional Dentist, thus acquiring some Free-Roving teeth, which then just had to be used to bite Mr Fires! Oh, and there's a whole new research lab mechanic going on in the University as well.


All these spoilers & more at my profile for anyone who isn't likely to see Bag a Legend ambition. Off to Parabola next week I guess.
