Drugs

Drugs are wondrous objects that allow you to trade your long-term well-being for immediate survival.

Drug effects wear off after a while, as indicated by an on-screen countdown timer which can be reset at any time by taking another dose.

Cannibal drugs can only be consumed by characters with the Cannibal trait.

Characters with the Chem Reliant trait automatically become addicted to whatever drugs they use, always suffering stat penalties between doses. Regular characters cannot become addicted to drugs.

Regulators with the Chem Reliant trait experience drugs differently from regular characters; see Regulator for details.
