VERY optional, you kinda have to go out of your way to do so, it took me until a 2nd playthrough to even figure out how to do the curses, which is where the health problems come from.
I’m a couple of playthroughs in and I’ve had the same thought each time. Is it possible to skip the torture scene with Milana? it’s oddly difficult (as someone who plays on the 0 combat story mode), and the noises within that minigame are absolutely grisly.
There is, at the start of the playthrough there is a few options that some may gloss over them. One of them is to disable content like that. It skips the scene entirely.
i’ve been sure i’ve been checking that box, but that one scene in particular sneaks through
Unless i’m severely gaslighting myself i’m fairly confident i’ve had that box checked each time. is that the only scene that would have been skipped by having that box checked?
I discovered a terrible glitch that breaks the game by making it stop entirely.
In the second eating contest sequence, choosing to let Galina finish her last burger (instead of making the bread in her belly expand) causes the game to instantly return to the hub area with a dialogue box that never disappears, and I can’t move Kirill at all. The game basically freezes. This glitch is so bad it makes finishing the sequence in that way impossible. If you’re wondering when exactly it occurs, it happens when Valeria says “Eh…” in response to Galina finishing her last burger. When that happens the game just stops entirely.
