There are so many excellent moments in the game! And I’ve done the same thing with intending to go in one direction, only to figure out ages later that I went in the exact opposite direction. Ha ha! Hope you continue to have a wonderful time playing the game and exploring all it has to offer!

Second run alone I set all the markers to different spots, making my own kind of flair.
I laughed out so loud when you want to help someone and mess up so hard. A sentient asked me to help them and we had to go east… I took us west. (I’m not a native speaker, so that excuses it a little bit at least? XD) And so the Sentient and I ended up running through the main city for an hour till I found the way back. In the time I flirted with them and it was so sad to say goodbye. (Next time, I will bend the rules narratively for sure in such an instance.)

I bet you have already done it in the mean time, but in case you did not, do the master task on the player card. So worth it. 👌

Thank you very much, Dave! I’m keeping the standard victory conditions in mind as I play, but currently am sort of settling on natural story end points… I think I’ve managed a lot of technical losses, yet those still feel like wins in their own senses. Good luck exploring!
