I'm sorry to tell you, but I think there's something wrong with your game. Now before you start thinking its my fault, read what I have to say:
- I've acquired many different tools and key items. Twice I've found a spot where the game gives me a hint to use one, saying "you could dig here", I tried to use the shovel and the game wouldn't let me use it. Another similar problem is with the bandage. The game tells me that I'm bleeding or need one, yet when I try to equip one, it doesn't let me.
- There's also an area in a house where you can jump down through a hole, which will give you access to the sewer. The problem is that, even though there is a ladder on the other end of the sewer, the game won't allow me to use it, nor am I able to do anything else since I can't get back up to the ground floor.
- Near the beach, where you can access another sewer tunnel, you can get a gun, but it doesn't appear in your inventory. Should this happen? Also, whenever I am injured, it says I should use a bandage, yet when I do so, it doesn't let me, giving me the sound effect that means no.
- I also found out that leaving an area and coming back allows you to get as much food as you want? Was this intentional?
- The sanity idea is okay, but after reading or seeing something once, sanity should not take another hit from reading or seeing an object again. Another thing that bothers me about the sanity idea is that it's pretty much trial and error because you don't know what some objects will contain until you examine them, meaning you could potential harm yourself in doing so. I don't feel like a game based on survival should be set up like this. Something else I feel should have been added is reading positive things increases your sanity.
- I am basically stuck. I have four different tools: shovel, tools, pickaxe, and rope (multiple of them). I also have a solid stick which I don't know what to do with. Please tell me if I'm missing something because I know that I can't go west without getting shot and there's no passage way on the beach other than the one I mentioned. I'd really like to play this further, but I'm not seeing any way to advance.
