This is yes depressing hahaha, did you have problems playing it the first few times? I appreciate you giving it so many tries.
I was played at least 5 times off camera (this is my 3rd play thru).
First time I end up off map after I walked all the way beyond the small Cave (I dropped off the map!) Since I like to explore maps in any freeroam game.
My 2nd Playthru, I went straight to get the mask and proceed to treat or trick to Norman house. That where Candy got kidnapped (missing out Tom and Vincent).
3rd one I played as in video.
4th I was trying to see what if I went inside Norman house.
5th trying to see if there is an alternative ending. Like going back home. Because the end text say Candy mom was involved but thru the game. Her mom never came out. So I thought I missed out something.
A few days ago I put "bumps" on the roads to guide or warn that there is no more map outside the houses, the issue of the mother is due to the penal code 226 and the daughter's crime is the responsibility of the mother under the law of abandonment of a minor, but I understand the doubts, but it is a small game and I am not that good at making them hahaha
