Why is he lost? Is he stupid?

[Numbskull]

If the dev reads this: first of all, good stuff. I'm enjoying the game it's really cool so far. That said, it's in desperate need of a map, I've gotten hopelessly lost so many times and I'm used to metroidvanias. Not sure if it's already a plan to add it or if I missed a pickup, but it needs one.
I keep running into dead ends that seem to require a wallrun but I cannot find it for the life of me. Most recent powerup I found is Ascendant Light but I haven't found any actual progression points with it, just optional collectibles. Does anyone know where I need to go?

Update: Found the Wall Run in the tower. I misinterpreted the epitaph as a hint that I couldn't enter without 3 Sun armor pieces, which isn't true.

To many directions are available from early in the game so its super easy to get lost. It got to the point to where I didn't know how far to backtrack or even where to go to backtrack. I've been to like 5 different zones at this point and I still have the first three abilities. No clue where to go

we need map!

[gilonhalefremont]

literally have 3 small keys and a boss key and can't remember where the hell they go.

Just completed the game. Theres a ton of exploration yes, and getting lost is... Easy. But trust me, when you run around enough exploring you'll eventually try paths you can take, and if not, you can get creative. I accidentally made it through some of the areas you need to wall run through with just air kicks

i ran into to a similar problem. i thought you couldn't enter right away. i already to got 3 keys and removed 2 of the cages in the theatre without it. it was only after i spent hours looking for a power to remove the final cage at the theatre that i decided to go back there.

Could u give me a hint on how to open the final cage (entrance locked by cracked green door)? Would be much appreciated!

[inappropriately_gendered_fungus]

Try looking in the keep.

There’s an ability for breaking green barriers in Sansa Keep, a cracked doorway which seems just out of reach.

tbh im glad there wasnt one, it really added to the labyrinth feel of it, if you are stuck lmk i can help tho

The lack of a map is kinda annoying at times haha. The game is fun but it feels almost like it was made with a map in mind and the dev decided not to at the last minute.

Just want to say THANK YOU for the update. I think I was stuck on the exact same spot as you after finding Ascendant Light and backtracking across the whole damn map, until I googled about it, found this thread and re-checked the Tower area. THANK YOU again

While it would vary from person to person, not very for me. Each location has 1-3 or so major central rooms that you can use as a sort of mental marker for your general location in it. Aside from maybe the library and theater which are more straightforward than most areas.
