As a matter of principle I am NOT going to sneak in a game where it's theoretically not mandatory!

I don't care if it ruins my character progression or introduces a constant, mindless grind for shivs to the proceedings^*, I am taking the anti-Clicker stab the second I have 75 points, and not spending pill one on anything else until I have it!

*Admittedly the game has been more than generous with them through the first few hours, and no game - especially no survival horror - has ever suddenly cut off the resources as the difficulty ramped up, right? Right?
