It was #7, if it's any consolation. But overall, I had more fun with Split Fiction 😬

This was really, really difficult. It was a stellar year for games. Would love to hear your hot takes, tell me why I'm wrong.

Think of it like a bad reality tv show with real-life consequences (mostly for people who aren't wealthy)

You simply cannot make me spend my time on this stuff. Oh the president said Tylenol causes autism? Well it doesn't. No I'm not going to pore through research papers to prove it to you. That's not what my time is for. My time is for playing videogames and gazing lovingly at my wife.

This happened to me as well in the same level. On the bright side, I can’t remember ever getting lost as badly as I did in that level.

Echoing the sentiments here. I watched someone on YouTube beat her to learn her patterns. Took a few more tries and a lot of patience, but it’s doable! I promise act 2 is slightly gentler.
