If so, how’s every responsibility in your life holding up while you drown in the hyperfocus?

      The lack of permance gets to be more and more problematic as you go on too.

      I love the game, but it would still be very difficult even if you got to keep all of your items permanently, books from the library, etc.

      At some point I’ll cave and watch how far others have gotten, but I’m not there yet.

    Got far, solved “the tutorial” and was making progress into the actual meat of the game but eventually it gets incredibly annoying having to deal with the RNG. Like, I know how to solve the puzzle, or at least where the next step is, but can’t do anything about it cause I can’t get the damn room to down on the correct space so I can get the right item for a other room that also needs to spawn on a specific space to be functional.

    Like, there needed to be a better way to predict your draws or manipulate the deck of rooms.

    spoiler

    Hell, even the letters you find imply that they had methods of doing this and forcing rooms to appear. Would have liked to see the staff become available as a sort of “utility” features after you reach Room 46 and gain ownership of the mansion.

    The 20 pages of written notes and trillian folder of screenshots says I can stop anytime I want.

    It’s interesting. Normally I just go with the flow of the game but this is the first time I’ve used the steam notes feature. At first it was little bits of information. Then it got a bit deranged as things went on. I won’t spoil anything but it’s weird and I find it interesting in spite of the fact that I hate puzzle games. Like really hate.

    I will not finish it. I enjoy it deeply but I know what I need to do and it’s daunting. I also had a bug for awhile meaning the Closed Exhibit simply did not spawn despite it being in the pool. Regardless, I enjoy building little silly houses.
