Did I miss the plot between act 1 and 2?

[Wilfogn]

I just started playing and I feel like I skipped part of the game and I wanted to avoid spoilers in a walkthrough. I played through act 1, met the girl in the mine and went to the house to fix the tv, when she fixed the tv there was the cutscene were the truck drives down 0. When I start act 2 I am at a building on 0 but it seems like I am missing some plot. Or is this just the way the game works? Thank you.

Also is this one of those game you play through multiple times to see all the paths?

It's just the way the game works. It's a little like Twin Peaks or a Beckett play. Some things will be explained, but some things are meant to remain mysterious.

That being said, sometimes there *are* answers--you can ask us here if you feel like you don't get who someone is or what something means. Some people have spent a looooot of time on all the places and people and references in this game. :)

You can also learn more about Lula, the clerk at the Bureau in the beginning of Act 2, by playing the interlude called "Limits and Demonstrations" that's available on the developers' website. That character has a lot going on.

There are definitely plenty of things to find that most people don't see the first time they play. If you go straight to your destinations on the map, for instance, you're gonna miss a lot of stuff. Keep going back to Equus Oils with each new friend you make in this game and you'll uncover more about everybody. Did a dude carrying a huge pair of antlers come talk to you when you were playing Lula at the Bureau? If not, you didn't dawdle as much as you could've in Act 1. :)

Thanks for the info, I found it very jarring that I was looking for this route and then bam, I am way down it.

I do need to dwadle more as I play I feel like I need to do my job not goof off!
