Increasing Skill Levels by Reading Books

As mentioned above, reading books can enhance specific skills in No One Survived. However, the volume you must read should match that skill’s current level. For example, read the 4th volume of “Medicine” if your Medicine skill is at level 3. Note that reading typically comes at the expense of Mentality for each reading session.
