> The tutorial note cards strongly recommend using a pen+paper while playing
This is my largest complaint. The game should really have a notepad built in. It doesn't need to write down clues for me, but it would be nice to not have to find where my notes were if I put the game down for a long time. Is it that it's a console release?
- RamRodification 2y agoSo many games desperately need this feature. Almost all games could benefit from it to some degree. I see zero negative consequences to adding it to every single game in existence just in case someone wants it.
- detaro 2y agoif you play on PC through Steam, Steam at least has a notes function in the overlay nowadays: https://www.polygon.com/2023/4/28/23702656/steam-beta-update-notes-app-how-to-use https://www.polygon.com/2023/4/28/23702656/steam-beta-update...
- gs17 2y agoUnfortunately, I'm pretty sure adding Game Pass games to Steam isn't really compatible with that. It looks like there was a "notes" app for the Windows "Game Bar", but it's no longer available.
- detaro 2y agopossible, yeah, from what I've heard the launcher is weird for those.
- Anon1096 2y agoI don't recommend using it, there's unfortunately a bug where your notes will not save randomly and just disappear between sessions. Which for a note taking feature basically makes it usuable. You can find discussions about the bug on steam ex https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/6679490218977026954/ https://steamcommunity.com/discussions/forum/1/6679490218977...
- rjh29 2y agoI've played 10 hours ish and it needs pen and paper notes. A text notepad probably won't work
- SamBam 2y agoI haven't played this, but I played Obra Dinn, which the review mentions, and I really don't think digital notes would have been nearly as good as pencil and paper. I really needed to draw arrows between things, sketch out a timeline, put question marks around ideas, etc. Pencil and paper is just so much more expressive.
- Secretmapper 2y agoI think the option would be great regardless. What you say is true - pen and paper is more expressive than digital notes, but digital notes is better than nothing. I played Obra Dinn without pen and paper and I was fine. There was a game called The Roottrees are dead which is based on Obra dinn with a built in journal system and it is really useful.
- aqme28 2y agoIt’s an indie game. I think that adding a full-fledged note system with as much creativity as paper+pen is a big undertaking and perhaps not the best use of resources for the developer
