Status Condition as seen on the pause screen. From left to right; Tiredness, Headache, Nervousness, Confusion, Melancholy, and Darkness.
In Gregory Horror Show: Soul Collector, status conditions usually occur over time with the exceptions of Darkness and Melancholy. They usually occur if the player stays awake for too long, reading books for too long or has witnessed a horror show. These conditions make it more difficult to keep the Mental Gauge steady, and also can effect vision and controls. Most conditions can be healed by sleeping in your bed and handing souls over to Death. Certain medications can heal these conditions, which can be found throughout the hotel and in Gregory Horror Shop.
It has been known that status conditions can also be healed if the player is holding an Angel Herb while the Mental Gauge runs out.
The player's status condition can be checked on the top of the pause screen.
List of status conditions[]
Tiredness[]
Tiredness occurs when you do not sleep enough in the game. It occurs after only 8 in-game hours. The only way to recover from this condition is to sleep in your bed. Reading books for too long while having this condition may risk of getting other status conditions, usually Headache.
Headache[]
Headache occurs when you stay tired for too long. You will get this condition after 2 in-game hours of being tired, but sometimes it may also occur when the player reads books for too long while having Tiredness. It'll steadily decrease the Mental Gauge. It can be healed with Headache Medicine or Chinese Remedy, and by handling souls to Death in your sleep.
Nervousness[]
Nervousness occurs when you have a Headache for 30 in-game minutes. It causes healing items to be only half as effective on the Mental Gauge. Nervousness can be removed with Antacid or Chinese Remedy, and by handing souls over to Death.
Confusion[]
Confusion happens when you remain nervous for 15 in-game minutes. It makes it harder to move in the direction you actually want to go, as the controls become inverted. It can be healed with Sedative or Chinese Remedy, and by handing souls over to Death in your sleep.
Melancholy[]
Melancholy only occurs when you witness a horror show and lose a soul you have collected from whichever character attacked you. You'll get so depressed that you won't have the energy to run. It can be healed with Laughing 'Shrooms or Chinese Remedy, and by handing souls over to Death.
Darkness[]
Darkness mostly occurs between 12 AM and 6 AM, but it can also happens in the basement floors. It makes it harder to see the surroundings. Use Eyedrops to cure this condition, which ocassionally replenish in the basement floors.
Notes[]
- If the player has Tiredness, the screen will pulsate and your character icon will shake if the clock strikes 6 or 12.
- If the player has Nervousness, the screen will pulsate like a heart if the clock strikes 3 or 9.
- If the player has Melancholy, it seems that the player is unable to receive any other status conditions naturally besides Darkness.
