Situation: Game. Typical horror. You know the rules: “no weapons, hiding under the tables, occasional puzzles”. But the game was nice enough for me to play it. Until the final boss. Many horrors/adventures still have bosses, but the fight is more puzzlish than just shooting and running. In this case I should lure the boss in the electrified puddle and manipulate with it; and repeat it 3-4 times.

After dying 3-4 times, I started to look for cutting-corners-way. I have found the developer console and it had some options that should make things easier. And you know what? After I increased my health, the boss became literally unkillable. Next time I added a few “medkits” to my inventory, the boss just started avoiding electrified puddles at all.

All experiments led to the situation becoming even worse. I believe that developers made it intentionally. Just for the sake of “fuck you, shit”

What could I do? Uninstall.

    Yes you are talking about game design.

    You just said developers check if the player cheats or makes something “strange” then react to it. By game design, they don’t want you cheating in their game.

    So you either deal with it or don’t.
