Player Health, Wounds and Addiction
Recognize wound limits, plan reported addiction recovery and distinguish player health from rat disease and customer toxicity.
Evidence: Community Reported · Scope: Steam Demo; exact build varies by mechanic · Source review: 2026-10-11
Wounds and after-hours searches
Scavenging normally allows five attempts, but injury can end the session. Bring a bandage and inspect the wound and treatment action. Bandaging may allow more searching, but not every bandage heals a major wound; exact costs and severity limits remain uncertain.
Check whether your state is a minor wound, major wound, stabilized injury or recovery. A wound can block scavenging even after treatment. Exact nightly recovery timing is unverified. If still wounded, stop and read the health display. See Scavenging for the route.
Reported addiction recovery
Nicotine, alcohol and narcotic addictions can clear after 18 days without the corresponding substance. The exact build and day-count boundary are unverified, so monitor your live status instead of relying on older three-week or thirty-day estimates.
| Condition | Recovery route |
|---|---|
| Nicotine addiction | Count days without nicotine consumption; latest report says 18 |
| Alcohol addiction | Count days without alcohol consumption; latest report says 18 |
| Narcotic addiction | Uses the same abstinence interval; monitor status |
| Lottery addiction | Natural 18-day recovery does not apply |
| Injector route | Luxury Synaprest is reported to remove addictions, including lottery addiction |
An item sold to a customer is not automatically an item consumed by the player. Keep your own consumption history when testing the interval. Avoid restarting the count with the relevant item while trying the abstinence route.
The black/grey luxury injector is Synaprest Injector. Confirm its name, tooltip and authenticity rather than color alone. Quality and price are not fixed across every injector.

Immunivax and Sentinel limits
Authenticate Immunivax with the inspection checklist before use. A full player dosage, treatment schedule or Sentinel cure sequence remains unverified; a recovered-status message alone does not establish a protocol.
Keep a record of date, current condition, item name, authenticity, action and next-day result if you test treatment. This distinguishes an ineffective item from an effect that simply takes time.
The Mentor’s SCD warning

Mentor's Note: Sentinel's Collapse Disorder
I am sorry to hear that you have SCD... It's a serious health condition that you will live with for the rest of your life. You will need to take regular Immunivax shots or your health will deteriorate and suffer permanent damage. You can afford to miss a few days at the start, but the damage adds up over time.
Choosing an opening condition
Negative Perks trade starting points for ongoing costs. Some penalties can recover, but neither permanent nor harmless describes every case. Compare cost, stock access and cash flow with the recovery period. See Perks for point costs and effects.
