It's alright, don't worry. If you enjoy the game then that's great but i'm not into it. Thanks for being mature about it.

I was not trying to put words into your mouth and i was not trying to harass you, i apologize.

Please stop putting words in my mouth. I said you are required to eat and sleep repeatedly before you go there because it requires a certain symbol to enter, not that i just do that all the time; and i did get the lantern mice and explored a good amount of the area. I didnt enjoy the game because of the many things I mentioned in the review so I stopped playing and there shouldn't be anything wrong with that. People are allowed to like different things. There are games I like e.g peglin which have a good amount of negative reviews but i can recognise they have flaws and i dont harrass the people who dont enjoy it and say "you're not playing it right" and then take their words out of context. chill please.

Did you ever trade with scavengers to get a lantern? or did you grab a lantern mouse? or did you grab slime mold as a makeshift lightsource? or did you try playing the game on monk, which allows you to see the shaded citadel more easier? you don't need to spam eat and hibernate, doing that is setting you up for failiure by trapping you in an even harder place then the one you already were in.

shaded citadel is definitely a run killer for most people who are trying out the game, but if you adapt your surroundings then its actually an incredibly fun region to traverse

Looked it up and its called shaded citadel.

I did reach new regions, I reached some area which is pitch black so you cant see anything and i got stuck in there. You need to spam eating and sleeping before you're permitted to access the other regions cause they are locked behind which symbol you have.
