This game is so good. The mechanic of the game manual pages you pick up is so cool and the art on them is phenomenal. The moments of discovery keep coming at a steady rate and all the items and tools are all so useful. This makes thoroughly searching the world for chests very worth it as nothing feels like …

The moments of discovery keep coming at a steady rate and all the items and tools are all so useful. This makes thoroughly searching the world for chests very worth it as nothing feels like a waste of time to have found.

OK. Now I'm absolutely positive I'm against the final boss of the game. The ending is just about the corner!

(dies a thousand times and quits in frustration).

The boss rush at the end of the cathedral was so fucking hard that I honestly thought it was the end of the game.

Nope.

(My hands really hurt now).

You can upgrade your stats at fires. Don’t be like me 2/3rds of the way through the game wondering why everything takes so many hits to go down.

I considered dropping this several times during my playthrough, but I'm glad I didn't. That last boss fight was satisfying to beat, even tho it might be a bit too hard IMO and a sure skill wall for most players, I wonder how many actually finished the game. And, while the book mechanic never successfully hooked me the same way other people were, that last investigation to unlock the alternate path was pretty rewarding. I didn't like it the same way many others do, but I still think it's pretty good.

Follow-up to my previous status update complaining about The Quarry:

So I guess I'm just dumb and didn't realize I already had the solution to the eye-destroying purple haze. I feel a little stupid cause it was technically there in the manual the whole time but they really could have made it more clear that the little token things in the inventory are more than just nice little optional passive effects. By the time I realized the solution though I had already cleared out the entire Quarry and all but the boss of Inside the Ziggurat so it's kinda too late. I'm just hoping the next area(s?) manage to pack more secrets in because The Quarry just didn't feel all that rewarding to explore compared to earlier parts of the game.

Still having a blast with this game after getting back to it but holy fuck my eyes are suffering after going through The Quarry. That visual effect the purple corruption stuff causes is absurdly painful to look at.

After searching for around 3 hours I FINALLY found the key to the Old House. I must have walked past it like ten times and cleared multiple areas meant for after you get it before I finally spotted it. So now I feel stupid but at least I have a shield, lol.

I picked this up during the steam sale and fired it up today on my steam deck since it seemed like a good fit for handheld play. I probably had a stupid grin on my face the entire time I was playing, because this game is hitting my love of exploration just right. It gives off Fez vibes while playing like a Souls like which is a mix I never knew I wanted.

I'm so excited to get back to this later but for now, it's dinnertime.

Ok, I no longer hate this game.
I like challenging games but I hate being punished with backtracking\having to repeat some routine after I die.

I found the path from the save point to the spear wielding enemy that stands on top of a key to be a frustrating chore and disrespectful of my time, since that enemy 2-shots you unless you've got a shield.

So I decided to refund.
Unfortunately, I bought this game more than 2 weeks ago and steam refused the refund.
Fortunately, I gave it another go and accidentally removed the shield from the spearman enemy by picking up my "soul" next to him.

I didn't even understand how it happened at first, I thought that all of the enemies that I leashed into the area overwhelmed the shield with shots or attacks, but that didn't reproduce when I tried. But after a while I understood what's up. Fancy gimmick but boy was I lucky to find it. Killing that enemy without this trick would've been a repetitive chore or "attack-roll-attack-roll".

In any case, now I found the best item ever: the shield. So now I can parry everything and demolish everyone and it's k.
