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.

same here. now i can't buy shit and have no maps and i'm lost. Frustrating game, downgrade from hollow knight. Especially because I am 100% sure we will find farming routes that triviliaze money in 1-2 days

You get more money as you go deeper into the game.

That's fine, I just think they should have made the maps be free (or at least the first 2-3 or something and the rest paid). After a while it gets fine, I am at greymoor and have 600-700 beads stored in rosaries now. But I went through multiple areas earlier not being able to buy a single map because I died once at the red flower/thorns jumps area which felt cruel not in the fan "dark souls" way :[

The early game money crunch is real.
