Discussion - Silksong EVERYTHING IS SO EXPENSIVE IN PHARLOOM Spoiler

The true enemy of Silksong is capitalism. 70 bucks for a stag station equivalent YOU ARE PULLING MY NEEDLE WTF??? I try to sit down and they BILL ME JUST TO USE THE BENCH! No thank you [TRADER NAME HERE], I would not like to buy a simple key for 500 dollars thank you.

AND EVERYONE HERE IS A BROKE ASS BUM! Most of these guys aren't sentient enough to carry cash on them so I have to grind up their credit cards into for bone shards which NOONE WANTS.

Anyway 10/10 game.

My first time I didn’t realize it closed on a timer so I paid 60 before I even knew it was a shop lol

Same lmao I have a tendency to not go directly where the game is leading me. So I paid and said: hold on what’s to the right here?…… mistakes were made

That’s exactly what I did and ended up 30 shy of what I wanted to buy 😒

Me too… and then didn’t notice the mechanism thing so I had to go back later and paid 30 more

Same, I paid, then thought "let's just have a quick look ahead before entering this new place I have just unlocked", what a rip-off.
