These items are not directly related to the plot but are crucial for managing your characters' Mental Health Meters. Neglecting these can lead to a game over.
- Medication: Found in Lucas's bathroom cabinet. Taking it provides a temporary mental health boost but can have side effects or be a sign of his deteriorating state. Use sparingly.
- Food & Drink: Preparing and consuming meals or drinks (coffee, water) in character apartments provides small mental health boosts.
- Shower: Interacting with the shower in any character's apartment provides a quick and effective mental health recovery.
- Musical Instruments: Lucas's guitar and Carla's piano. Playing these (via QTEs) offers significant mental health boosts and is a primary way to recover from severe stress.
- Books/Magazines: Reading these provides minor, but consistent, mental health benefits.
Always keep an eye on your character's mental health. If it's low, prioritize interacting with these items or activities to prevent a breakdown. They are your primary tools for psychological well-being.
