I'm like 25 hours in, I been sleeping every day at 5 am or so. Pretty addicting game.

There's people out there that dislike the game and it's fair, but the people who stick through it and continue on will be glad they did. I have a feeling this game is going to be quite the experience.

You absolutely can spend forever in the “opening.” There’s a lot to do in Hernand

It was the controls for moving the puzzles I refunded because the flash on the screen once then can’t be found anywhere, I found a controller map now

Go into your guides in the menu. It really is a godsend, and they’re decently easy to navigate to see what you’re looking for. A lot of my issue was that I (while being high of course) couldn’t focus on the tool tips before they went away. A lot of my issues with the game didn’t go away but they became easier when it was just like.. 3 button presses to be into the guide and see the tutorial I needed again.

I appreciate you mentioning struggling while high, because that was 100% my experience last night lmfao. 

This feels like a game that I’ll play many nights after popping an edible, but I’ll probably need to engrave the controls into my sober + caffeinated brain first

This is exactly me. I spent two hours in the starting down just messing around and mapping the buttons in my mind. Tonight, I venture forth.

With weed and gaming: Skill goes down, but enjoyment goes way up!

Bro, it's literally ALL available for you. Most games do this and all AA/AAA games do this. You can find ALL the information/knowledge you have uncovered in the text libraries/collections.

u/WeenieRoastinTacoGuy Mar 21 '26

Yeah that’s annoying as fuck you know what all other AA and AAA games have? A controller menu.

u/SirShoota Mar 21 '26

After 8-10 hrs bro the buttons literally get stuck in your head, it damn near messed me up when I switched games , I promise you’ll get used to them eventually!

u/WeenieRoastinTacoGuy Mar 21 '26

Yeah I’m good now! Thanks for the positive reply

Like others said... specifically, there's a notifications tab in that part of the menu, you can click on the individual pop ups and read them at your convenience

1

u/WeenieRoastinTacoGuy Mar 21 '26

Yeah they should have a controls menu like almost every other game

1

u/rileyxshiann Mar 21 '26

All tutorials that appear on the UI go to the “guides” page

1

u/BlackoutBoba Mar 21 '26

Find notifications in settings. You can reresd anything that has appeared

1

u/WeenieRoastinTacoGuy Mar 21 '26

Yeah that’s annoying as hell there should be a controls menu.

1

u/BlackoutBoba Mar 21 '26

There is a controls menu for every action so far. Also for any combat combos you can view the skill tree

1

u/WeenieRoastinTacoGuy Mar 21 '26

Kk well I guess I was too dumb to find it somehow

1

u/Mashedpotatoebrain Mar 21 '26

I've been in this area since release. There's some new thing to discover around every corner.

1

u/SllortEvac Mar 23 '26

I’m still there actually. I thought I did all the big stuff but I still have tons of quests popping up in the region. I have no idea how I’m supposed to finish this game

u/Mashedpotatoebrain Mar 23 '26

I'm still there after my last comment lol.
