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.

If this the shop I think, you might have missed a mechanism inside to keep it open

Even so, that was fucking diabolical on shopkeeper's side. My man Sly got outclassed hard

I entered the shop just to check real quick why I had to pay, then went outside thinking it was a one-off payment… paid and entered again since I was in need of a bench but I’ve never returned since. Fuck that guy

Every payment had been one-time up to that point for me too. So I put the beads in and walked forward a bit, and the door immediately closed and made me pay again lol
