I’m at about the halfway point now, and even though I’ve played this through at least twice I ended up having to use a walkthrough. It was entirely stuff I had missed or forgotten to pick up somewhere. Nothing has been too much to a howler yet, but I still wish I could make it through.

Really curious how this game would play to someone who wasn’t alive in the US during the mid-90s. Does anyone even get the references to Stuckey’s anymore? They were ubiquitous for decades, but in the intervening years since this game came out they have gone virtually extinct. I was thinking of this because there’s a specific reference that’s important to solving a puzzle in the game, that I think might go over people’s heads.

*edit* I misspoke; there are apparently still 65 Stuckey’s locations in the US still. They are not very common around the Midwest anymore so maybe that’s what I thought they were gone.
