Hi Dark,
Well I finally finished it, don't worry no spoilers ahead. Although once
completed there is a button called secrets (like he's added in a dark
room)
where he's done some videos which go into more details about the game,
plot
story etc and it mentions about the bit you got stuck at and explains
it.
Definitely worth listening to all the videos though as after I listened
I
realised I might have missed a couple of things in the game. Did you say
you are in contact with the developer? As I think I found an accessibility
issue, but at the end of the game when I was expecting the game over, or
thanks for playing window to signify the end of the game my phone just
went totally silent it was as if there was nothing on the screen for
voice
over to read. I tried to move and flick over the screen but voice over
wouldn't read anything . I don't have enough sight to see what was on the
screen but eventually turned off voice over and tapped randomly round
the
screen and then suddenly it made a noise like I'd pressed a button and it
then brought up all the game stats such as how much of the world I
explored
, how many places visited etc. I could be wrong and maybe there was some
visual graphics or credits or something happening that voice over
wouldn't
read, but if so it would be nice for voice over just to announce that's
what's happening, but I more suspect that there is a button to click
that
for some reason voice over doesn't recognise.

Hi Paul.
Ah, knowing you must die helps. Unfortunately when the game came out in
August I was rather in the middle of anual music school, so taken up with
singing and learning opera parts. I had a couple of games, got creamed by
the defector and then stopped where as normally I probably would've
perciveered, nice to know perciveering gets rewarded :D.
All the best,
Dark.

Hi Dark,
Ensign spoilers below
I won't say what so as not to ruin any plot for you, but there was
something at the end of the game I was unsure about, and since I didn't
want
to totally ruin all the work I'd done I went online a minute ago for
some
hints. Got the answer to what I wanted, but apparently the games been
designed so that you have to die, the first couple of defectors you meet
are
designed to be unbeatable . I also saw about the hard mode if you don't
accept the food, apparently you then also don't get the compass so have
to
then search everything by exploration (which I can tell you from the
dark
room on hard mode before I knew about the compass was a nightmare lol)
I think from what I was just reading online that houses stay as outposts
you can re visit , but other locations you can only re visit once( or I
may
have that round the wrong way and you can only visit houses once and the
others stay permanent outposts). I haven't tried this theory , but it
would make sense since I was sure I had seen some stay that I had re
visited , but it was only when I played earlier I noticed some
disappearing

Hi Paul.
Beware! ensign and dark room spoilers ahoy!
Yep, the compass is a real necessity in both games, indeed sinse the
ship
in A dark Room won't show up on the map and you just need to follow the
compass to it I imagine it'd be nearly impossible without.
I actually wrote a walkthru on audiogames.net forum in the articles room
for
A dark room on hard.
Regarding the ensign yes, the defector is the problem, either it kills me
or
I try to run away and end up dying of starvation or lack of water, (that
was
what happened last game), I think everytime I've seen him he's had 100
plus
health. In my last game I had a steel sword, iron sword, knife and level
2
fists (the beastly matriarch at the mine was a real push over), but as I
said I tried to avoid the defector. Maybe the game actually keeps track
of
your deaths?
Regarding food, I thought that was the difference between accepting food
from the admiral at the start of the game and not, ie, if you accepted
food
from him you got outposts that you could revisit but only two spaces on
the
map for each item of food, but if you refused food from the admiral the
outposts vanish after use, but you move four squares for each one food
(like
the slow metabolism perk from A dark room), and monsters drop more flesh.
Hopefully just as A dark room told you about hard mode in the end, The
ensign upon completion will give you some ideas, indeed I already know
there
are speed run bonuses that you can get sinse I read about them in the
upgrades, hopefully though as with A dark room you'll get the guidance,
though I must admit I might e-mail Amir and ask for a little
clarrification
on some of the rules sinse the Ensign seems a lot harder to get into.
At least though I know being slaughtered by the defector isn't it, I
really
was stuch on how to deal with them!
All the best,
Dark.
