Guys, I'd love to hear your honest opinions about Instruction IX!
Do you think it's genuinely unfair, or is it a challenging but fair instruction?
I don't want to make it easier just for the sake of it. I just want to make sure the challenge comes from understanding and executing the instruction, rather than being confused by it.
I'd really appreciate your feedback!
Hiii! I am still not able to complete it. I've played the game before and after the newest update and I'm still stuck on instruction IX. I think my main problem with it is how the appearance of the friend interacts with it. From the new tips I'm assuming I'm supposed to look at him when he appears (I assumed so too before the update but when I tried turning I accepted the Gift). I also tried to move the cursor minimally so that I'm looking at him while still within the boundaries of not turning left or right. I even tried turning right on the top and bottom of the room where there are no dotted lines so that I'm not technically breaking the rules. That didn't work either. I also tried doing all of that after I got 1/2 tasks finished.
I read your reply to the other comment where you said that after 1/2 completed appears that means that task is completed so I can go against it. The issue is the first task is do not turn a page, which when fulfilled doesn't do anything as we can't even open the book before finishing the second task, which is the main issue cuz we can't look left or right. Can't finish the second task because my "friend" gives me a gift for ignoring him and the Book gives me a gift for looking at him.
When I was reading the tasks at first I assumed that the do not turn the page task would be a trick task, the same way instruction VIII is, where I would get a task succeeded for not turning left or right then I'd try to flip the page and I'd lose cuz I failed the other task. I see how the appearance of the friend adds tension to the task as it conflicts with the instruction and I do like it a lot. My problem is I can't find a way to both look at him and satisfy the instructions.
I hope none of my criticism above comes across as rude or unfair. I genuinely love the vibes and presentation of this game. I just would love to experience the rest of it. I appreciate the new QoL update. Not having to start again from the beginning is a blessing.
okay, I have found how unfair the instruction truly felt! I will do a quick update of the fix!
It seems I didnt realise the orientation of the instructions of "Dont turn a page" and "dont move left or right" clashed against the"instruction obeyed (1/2)" and the ambiguousness of the death hint!
So I will try to make a quick update of fixing all the ambiguousness but not the difficulty! I appreciate you writing your opinion for the sake of making my game better and fair! I apologise for the inconvenience that this instruction caused!
See you in the next update!
Hey! Just wanted to let you know that I've released an update addressing some of the feedback you and other players shared!
I've revised some instruction wording(including instruction IX) and improved the death hints and added some text explanation to make certain mechanics clearer. No pressure at all to play again, but if you're interested, you're welcome to give the updated version a try!
But nevertheless, thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. Your feedback genuinely helped me improve the game!
