Companions

As the story progresses, the player will encounter random NPC characters that have unique personalities and stories.
They all have their own reasons to be in the Underground and it’s up to Fred to see if they will see them sought to.

If the player manages to maintain Fred’s level of Sanity to an acceptable standard events are trigger which allows for the possibility of acquiring these characters as companions on your travels through the game.

If the character see’s that Fred has turned and given in to his Insanity they will not want to join you. (And in extreme cases of Sanity Loss they may even attack.)

Companions assist you in firefights, unlock special areas that only they can decipher for bonuses and allow for a deep character building experience as they interact with Fred.
