Option to skip zurk gauntlets
I finally found a game that brings me joy. It's fun. It's a change of pace. A welcome, mental reset. Loving the game, EXCEPT for the zurk gauntlets.

I'm old. I have arthritis. Fingers don't do the things younger fingers do. I'm stuck and cannot continue playing the game due to manual dexterity.

To the developers: PLEASE create an option to skip these manual dexterity gates.

There is a program called "WeMod" that I installed after seeing a tip about it around here, which enables options to make you invulnerable or invisible to both the zurks and the sentinels. These options can be toggled on or off by the press of a button at your leisure while playing the game.

I can recommend giving it a try, and you don't have to pay for it. The free version gives you the options needed. It doesn't disable achievements either, if you're into those.

I'm not fond of stressfull elements in games, and especially not the 'die and try again' mechanics, and I'm not sure I would have completed the game without using this program, which I'm glad I did! :steamthumbsup: Beautiful game with a great story and atmosphere.

Thanks for the advice.

Am I correct that WeMod has access to your Steam account? That seems. . . concerning. I do like that it opens up the freedom to experience the parts of the game that are fun, without taking anything away from those that enjoy the gauntlet aspects.

Other than the manual dexterity road block, I was really enjoying the game.

I don't know about that, but it scans your system for installed games it works with. Much like what GeForce Experience does, I guess?

But others will have to confirm this. I'm a typical Norwegian, and I've read we're seen as quite gullible and naive by people in many other countries. Too trusting! :lunar2019grinningpig: But also trustworthy, which is nice :lunar2019smilingpig:


As long as I'm off-topic:

I saw a documentary a while back, where they said that 74% of Norwegians trust in other people (strangers), which is the highest in the world, closely followed by the other Nordic countries. For Americans this number was 36%, Spain and France had 18-19%, and in Turkiye, only 10% trust in other people! :goalastonished: Was a bit of an eye-opener. Much focus on trust and such here now, with all the crazy things going on in the world, propaganda, corrupt and crazy leaders, 'fake news' and such... :steamsad:

Hehe sorry for the rant... :stop:

I did use the WeMod thing to get past the zurks. There's no way my mangled fingers would have been able to complete those dexterity blocks.

Didn't need it past that.

Sentinels were fun. Take your time, just don't get caught.

Enjoyed the game.

:steamthis: Nice! :104:

Yeah, I thought the stealth-like approach for the sentinels was fun as well, hiding in boxes and such, but the panic-like state I was in during the zurk-runs not so much, for me at least :honkhonk::flammable:
