"It should be noted that if the player fails to save their companion before leaving a room, or die before doing so, they will risk losing their companion for the rest of the game."
I unfortunately replaced hawk with kelly, and unluckily died when hawk incapacitated. So hawk will be dead permanently, i guess that ok because i think i still got kelly. Surprisingly i found that i couldn't got kelly back and will not have a companion for the rest of the game. Does it really sounds good? I guess many players will be annoyed by this setting. I hopefully think you could update the game so that kelly would be back or add a new companion for us because fighting alone is very difficult to play the game, especially when i am playing on SURVIVOR difficulty. I cordially hope u would consider updating the game so i WILL continue playing and lessen the complaints about the "companion died" but nothing can do with it.
