        Usage

        You must keep V healthy by managing his needs.

        V's actions have several consequences, for example :

        - Eating decreases V's hunger and his thirst slightly but digestion also costs him fatigue.

        - Drinking alcohol increases his thirst but also reduces his fatigue.

        - Taking a shower decreases fatigue less than resting, but also decreases his thirst.

        You have to drink and eat to regenerate hunger and thirst (I know it's obvious) but eating takes longer to regenerate than thirst (due to digestion).

        You must sleep in V's apartment to regenerate his fatigue. (You can also rest on the sofa or take a shower)

        If one of the needs is low, penalties are applied according to its level.

        Thirst

        • []Penalty on total stamina and total memory (and this can kill you on hard difficulty)

          Hunger
          • []Penalty on total health (and this can kill you on hard difficulty)

          Fatigue
          • []Penalty on critical hit chance and stamina regeneration

          []You can get flashes or a system malfunction (on hard and normal difficulty you can also be stunned or fall to the ground)
