    the conversations are naturalistic storytelling that doesn’t just spell out information to you

    linguistics and translation are not the premise of the game. the premise is piecing together the timeline of events, and eventually solving the mystery of the game, through reading those “boring” conversations

    it takes roughly 15s to get off the planet after the first loop, bro :u and the thing you look at every time you wake up is crucial to solving the mystery

    you can just say the game isn’t for you, or that you tried playing it and it didn’t align with your expectations. instead of making yourself out to look like you’re impatient to the point where 15s bores you, and unable to focus to the point of saying that reading is boring because you get to access new information without having a mini-game jiggle keys in front of your face before every piece of text.

    i apologise for getting rude at the end here, but man, you’re insulting my favourite game based on your misinterpretation of what it’s trying to do, just say you don’t get it
