don't be afraid to savescum! but also, don't be afraid to lose checks! .....that's counterintuitive, but the game's so good you'll probably be replaying it anyways, so dont be afraid to play wildly different paths.

for a para-psycho-political infra-natural experience rust-darkness put some points on de-inland-empire like NephewAlphaBravo said and de-shivers , i try to keep most of my skills on 3 or 5 if i feel its super-important but you'll usually be using clothes n tools to up your stats anyways.

......and keep off the drugs kids dubois-finger-guns
