Comfort Mode Navigation Problem
I'm in a house up some stairs just after the mines. I've discovered an axe and a series of other things to trigger a view to the past. Unfortunately, the game won't let me progress. As soon as I trigger the ghosts in this room right near the desk (one on the ground, one carrying an axe), I cannot navigate anywhere else. I can't turn around with the right stick. I can't physically turn my head around and look at the arrow behind me and click on it (it doesn't register the click). Unfortunately, the game saved just before this, so I can't do anything else.

It seems like it's a bug specific to this spot. I have actually noticed other spots like this where the ability to control completely vanishes. In those instances I was able to restart and follow another path before going back. In this case, I can go trigger the other three ghosts in the sequence, but as soon as I get to this desk the darn thing won't let me do anything else.

There doesn't appear to be a way to exit comfort mode and try to advance that way.

Any suggestions? Incredibly frustrating.

Ultimately my "solution" was to copy the save game to the Redux version and just play it there. I did try copying it back from the Redux version to the VR version after advancing to the next save point, but that just removed the arrows and controls altogether. Bummer.

Hey MrMetlHed,

really sorry to hear that. We are trying to fix any issues that people experience with VR version but it is difficult to predict how successful we are going to be with it. Thanks for your understanding!

Best wishes

No worries. Hopefully you can fix it, because most of the time it worked pretty well. And the story was excellent.

I am experiencing exactly the same problem. Had a similar one in the mine but somehow finally got past it. Nothing seems to work at this point though.
