I'm really struggling with this game. I got it on sale and played for 3+ hours, but somehow it didn't grip me. It was really annoying having to constantly start over. Not trying to detract from other people's experience of it.
So one thing I didn't realize right away is that in the ship there is a board where the game auto stores your discoveries detective-style. It really helps provide guidance when you feel like you're out of leads or don't know what to do.
It takes some getting used to. And maybe looping games isn't everyone's cup of tea(e.g. Majora's mask).
But the exploration, the knowlesge based progression, the cleverness of the story, and its delivery is absolutely brilliant.
It's a hard game to get into. Played for 2 hours on my first run and didn't know where to go.
After 2 weeks or so I tried again because everyone was recommending it to me. Now it's one of my favorites, even though it took another 2 hours before I had any idea what I was doing.
same here. i keep hearing good things and restarting the game but every time I'm just losing interest by the first hour.
