Baffled by adding item to inventory
I'm about ready to give up before i've barely started!
Found the knife in the hallway... how annoying can it be to add to the inventory. The tutorial does not convey how it's actually behaving. I can't get the knife into my inventory!! GRRR ARGH!

has it been fixed for anyone yet?

It's a bug. It refused to work the first time I tried, so I had to close the application from the task manager (I couldn't exit any other way). Next time I tried, though, it worked. So if it doesn't work for you, quit, then try again.

I've quit and tried again, and again. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and tried repeatedly. Yeah it just won't work. Hopefully i'll get my refund.

As per other users in this discussion, I am stuck and have to quit the game. I cannot move the knife. Once it is selected and has the move text alongside, I cannot move to the inventory using LB/RB or Q/E. Tried with keyboard, mouse and controller. Hope there is a patched version of the game soon.

Having the same problem. Can't pick up the item to complete the tutorial, so I can't go any farther then the spot where you're supposed to pick up the knife. Sucks to buy a game and then be able to play it for less time than it takes to load before it glitches.

Thank you for the feedback.
I agree with you it looks like the characters only have a pocket! I'll talk about this with the team and will also mention the insanity checks ;)
Thank you for responding and acknowledging the issue. Are you any closer to solving it, as I've now been trying a half hour and really don't want to waste any more time with this change at this stage I'm afraid.

idk about you guys but i like that the inventory is small. maybe increase it with the easier difficulties? idk I play a lot of arpgs so I'm use to managing space and it only increasing later but even then people still tend to complain bc they want infinite space to hold every item in the game lol. I think for something like this it would be easier to do a difficulty base inventory size. Like you said "its like they only have pockets" which is quite literally true lol they do only have pockets. I like the game because it feels like I'm playing a pen and paper rpg.

that aside I hope you guys keep working on the game and really just make it as best as it can be. Too many devs these days seem to release good potential games then abandon it a few months into release but then claim they haven't when really they're working on other games. I want this game to build and expand this universe, I think there's a good chance for this game to be a wonderful rpg lovecraft game we havent had in a long time.

I am having this issue on my PC as well. I went out and bought a new controller, installed the game on my son's gaming laptop and guess what? Still won't move the knife and can't go forward with the tutorial without doing so. They could do a whole episode of IT Crowd on this game. And yes I tried turning it off an on again.

Couldn't pick up the knife with the keyboard, mouse, or the Steam controller

An Update was provided to the game and now it works with the keyboard or controller. A good sign of things to come.

that's good, I hope the game keeps getting updated. we need a good lovecraft game, we haven't had one in awhile. At least not in this kind of genre.
