Death. The final state.
Overview[]
Character States are states which reflect character health. There are 6 major categories of character states: Mood, Hunger, Illness, Wounded, Tiredness, Sleep, and as of the Final Cut update, a "Pregnant" state exclusive to Livia. Each of the 6 states are affected by characters' actions and have a close relationship to each other. The player must watch and manage character states throughout the game, or else a character can end up dying. In the beginning, 2 random character starts either slightly sick or slightly wounded.
Some characters are less likely to get injured/sick and have a much quicker/better chance at recovering. Marko and Bruno, for example, are less vulnerable to illnesses and injuries and recover faster than Katia.
